Arnaud Desplechin's #Deception gets released this Arnaud Desplechin's #Deception gets released this week, and we covered it back during #Cannes21. Revisit M.G. Mailloux's words at the link in our bio. Also up today is @colonelmortimer on Alex Garland's latest, #Men. It's... underwhelming. — #movies #movie #moviereviews #Film #Filmreviews #filmcritics #filmcriticism #filmcommunity #cinema #cinephile #cinephilecommunity #filmfestivals #Cannes

Only 2 reviews today, but at least they're hilario Only 2 reviews today, but at least they're hilarious diametrical. First up is this Friday's #KickingtheCanon piece, with Daniel Gorman revisiting Pere Portabella's classic Cuadecuc, vampir in honor of its 50th anniversary. 📸 Credit: Grasshopper Film And then, in a nice little 180, we have @stevenwarner1980 talking new Rebel Wilson vehicle #SeniorYear, on #Netflix today. He's... unimpressed. Doesn't believe we'll be celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2072. 📸 Credit: Boris Martin/Netflix — #movies #movie #film #filmreviews #filmcritics #filmcriticism #filmcommunity #moviereviews #cinema #cinephile #cinephilecommunity #filmfestival #filmfestivals #newrelease #netflix #cuadecucvampir #pereportabella #alexhardcastle #rebelwilson

Today, we've got 4 reviews for your hump day readi Today, we've got 4 reviews for your hump day reading pleasure. First up is @morrisycy on @ninjathyberg's #Pleasure, a biting bit of porn business task-taking. 📸 Credit: @neonrated Next up is Selina Lee talking #eskilvogt's #TheInnocents from @ifcmidnight, which she describes as "like experiencing a two-hour long sinking feeling." 📸 Credit: Mer films Third on the docket is @mollyadams2408 on your dad's new favorite movie, #OperationMincemeat. But Molly's not a dad, so she's less keen. 📸 Credit: Giles Keyte / See-Saw Films / Netflix And rounding it out is @stevenwarner1980 on Babadook-knockoff #Monstrous, which is another big fat horror metaphor and nothing else. 📸 Credit: Screen Media — #movies #movie #film #filmreviews #filmcritics #filmcriticism #filmcommunity #moviereviews #cinema #cinephile #cinephilecommunity #filmfestival #filmfestivals #ifc #ifcmidnight #netflix#ChrisSivertson #JohnMadden #screenmedia #newrelease
We've got quite an eclectic mess of content for yo We've got quite an eclectic mess of content for your reading pleasure today. First up is a very cool dialogue between @mikethornwrites and @kathekoja about the dissolving boundaries of art, the creative process, cinematic influences on literature, and more! That's followed by a belated but no less enthusiastic final dispatch of @prismaticground coverage, wherein we talk @kerstijanwerdal's Lake Forest Park, @isidorebethel's Acts of Love, and #CarlElsaesser's Home When You Return, among others. And finally, pivoting in an entirely different direction, @colonelmortimer takes a look at #Shudder's #TheTwin, which is some real derivative crud. — #movies #movie #film #filmreviews #filmcritics #filmcriticism #filmcommunity #moviereviews #cinema #cinephile #cinephilecommunity #filmfestival #filmfestivals #prismaticground #shudder #DarkFactory #KatheKoja #newrelease
