A Monster Calls is a Slick Weepy
A Monster Calls feels like a good concept that was never massaged into a narrative that makes use of the full weight of its elements.
A Ghost Story: an existential saga lacking in humanity
A Ghost Story takes a cosmic scope, but I can’t help feeling that it could have been so much pure and meant so much more if the lens was microcosmic.

Revelation Film Festival 2017 Review: "Meal Tickets" is an unflinching look at punk rock
The best thing about "Meal Tickets" is that we're privy to a group of young, dumb, full-of-cum dreamers slowly acquiesce to being one of the millions who never got their big break; there's a raw poignancy to that, a unique quality which makes this 90 something minute documentary worth the price of a ticket.
