PREDATOR: BADLANDS

“This is kiddie shit. It’s also not particularly well put together, which is surprising because director Dan Trachtenberg did such a terrific job with Prey. Badlands – which despite the title has nothing to do with the Terrence Malick movie or my favorite Springsteen song — is a lot of samey, weightless CGI battles that all take place in a dusky, low-contrast haze.” – North Shore Movies, 11/06/2025

DIE MY LOVE

“Another not-for-the-timid exploration of mad love and mental illness from Lynne Ramsay, a filmmaker whose movies tend to feel like fugue states. Die My Love is somewhat misleadingly being sold as an issue drama about postpartum depression, but it’s really more of a morbid comedy about how everyday life is enough to drive anybody insane.” – WBUR’s Arts & Culture, 11/06/2025

ABEL FERRARA’S SCENE

“He writes like he’s jabbing a finger in your chest while he’s telling you a story. That he’s somehow alive, sober and still making films at the age of 73 is a shock to everyone, especially Ferrara himself. Scene is partially a confession, something of an amends and it reads like a late night rant. What else would you expect from a memoir by Abel Ferrara?” – Crooked Marquee, 11/03/2025

HEDDA

“It’s a film full of heavy breathing and plunging necklines. Forget Chekov’s gun, Hedda wears the key to her father’s whole gun cabinet around her neck – the shiny metal dangling between her bosoms for maximum foreshadowing. When Løvborg pulls the trigger, my viewing on Prime Video was interrupted by a commercial for UberEats. Ibsen would have loved that.” – North Shore Movies, 11/03/2025
