Film Review: I Care A Lot

Posted on February 23, 2021 (May 21, 2024) by Alton Barnhart
I Care A Lot is a gleefully wicked ride that has remarkable chutzpah and deftly zigs every time you think it's going to zag.

Dickinson: Season Two Has Fun Taking Poetic License With Its Historical Setting 

Posted on February 19, 2021 (January 24, 2022) by Alton Barnhart
Dickinson’s playful tone not only lends itself to great comedy, but allows for some interesting commentary on modern issues, including Emily dealing with her romantic attraction to Sue, as well as her battle to be a recognized writer.

If you like period costume dramas, then Dickinson, might be just the show for you—but it’s certainly not the one you’re expecting it to be … read more

Slamdance Film Review: After America

Posted on February 15, 2021 (January 24, 2022) by Alton Barnhart
Starring real-life criminal justice deescalation workers, After America is so becoming of its drab setting it is barely memorable.

Film Review: Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar

Posted on February 16, 2021 (January 24, 2022) by Alton Barnhart
Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar really is meant to be seen in a packed auditorium, and preferably in 2004.

As long as you have at least one person beside you who’s feeling as stupid as you are for laughing, Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar is it. … read more

Film Review: The World To Come

Posted on February 15, 2021 (January 24, 2022) by Alton Barnhart
I would stop short of characterizing The World To Come as a great film—certainly not one for the ages, but it's an artfully made feminist character study that nicely captures life at a time when women and men were both put into rigidly defined roles.

The World to Come explores the question of how one deals with the realities of life versus the expectations of what it’s supposed to be. … read more
