Strangerland
Good 17 Points 2015

Somewhat of a misfire as script-writing goes, Strangerland partially makes up for it with well done drama, sexual tension, aboriginal mystery, and good-old-fashioned “whodunnit?”. Many reviewers will disagree, but I think it was worth the watch. Besides, I just couldn’t take my eyes off of Nicol…

Wind River
Really Great 83 Points 2017

Wind River, the best American crime movie in recent memory, is as American as it could possibly be. Native-American at its core, cowboy on its face, Wind River transcends its stunningly assured procedural tropes to create a haunting tale of Western life in 2017, on the res and off, for India…
