Pieces of a Woman isn’t a film for everyone. It’s raw, intense, and emotionally brutal. It’s artsy and centered around the themes the story conveys. I found it powerful and couldn’t take my eyes off of what I was seeing for a single second. Vanessa Kirby shines as a woman named Martha who is going… Continue reading Pieces of a Woman | Film Review

Freaky | Movie Review
Ever wanted Freaky Friday to be a slasher film? Well, now it is. Freaky sees Millie (Kathryn Newton) swap bodies with the Blissfield Butcher (Vince Vaughn), and she and her friends have until midnight to swap the two back into their respective bodies before the switch is permanent. The kills are gloriously gory and the… Continue reading Freaky | Movie Review
The Undoing | Series Review
The Undoing is another great limited series from HBO. Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant are excellent as Drs. Grace and Jonathan Fraser, a couple whose lives are turned upside down after a woman Grace knows has been found dead. The twists and turns are compelling, and each episode had me changing my mind about different… Continue reading The Undoing | Series Review
Fatman | Movie Review
Fatman is a wickedly fun entry in the Christmas movie genre. A spoiled kid named Billy (Chance Hurstfield) hires a hitman (a deliciously twisted Walton Goggins) to off Santa (a perfectly cast Mel Gibson) after Billy receives a box of coal on Christmas. What ensues is violent, gory, and darkly comedic. This was a refreshing… Continue reading Fatman | Movie Review
Happiest Season | Movie Review
Happiest Season is an absolute delight. My heart was full of the warm and fuzzies as the credits rolled, and this is such an important film for the LGBTQ+ community. Harper (Mackenzie Davis) and Abby (Kristen Stewart) are a happy couple who decide to spend Christmas at Harper’s parents home. The kicker? Harper hasn’t come… Continue reading Happiest Season | Movie Review

Unhinged | Movie Review
I went into Unhinged assuming I’d have a fun time with a decent action/thriller, and the movie actually surpassed my expectations a little. Sure, I still had loads of fun watching it, but this was a surprisingly violent, action-packed thrill ride. The premise hinges (ahem) on a single mother named Rachel (Caren Pistorius) taking her… Continue reading Unhinged | Movie Review
If Anything Happens I Love You | Movie Review
If Anything Happens I Love You ripped my heart out of my chest, stomped on it, then replaced it. I don’t want to reveal too much about the story because I feel like it would ruin this twelve minute short film, but the parents of a daughter who died in a tragic manner are engulfed… Continue reading If Anything Happens I Love You | Movie Review
Run | Movie Review
Run is a tightly paced thriller that overcomes it’s predictability with fantastic lead performances and an incredible amount of tension. The film centers on Diane (Sarah Paulson) and Chloe (Kiera Allen), a mother-daughter duo who are extremely close. Chloe was born prematurely, and suffers from several different illnesses and ailments. Diane is a single mother… Continue reading Run | Movie Review
