Review: Sand Dollars

It respects and plumbs the feelings of its characters while surfacing the economic, ethnic, cultural, and gender power imbalances in their relationships.

Review: Burnt

Everything in the script signals that the hero must transform himself from an abusive tyrant in the kitchen to the head of a loving and fully functional family.

Review: Room

The film, never sensational or saccharine, is a tough but tender tribute to the creative power of maternal love.

Review: Brooklyn
