Reviews
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
