Noemi Berkowitz / April 3, 2017

Raw, Julia Ducournau

Mary Angela Rowe / March 10, 2017

Julia Ducournau’s Raw is a new kind of female body horror

Mary Angela Rowe’s review of Raw. Cannibalism is definitely a lady problem in Julia Ducournau’s Raw, but the film isn’t about the horror of female sexuality so much as the twisted results of shoving young women into a pressure cooker of experiences and expectations.

Hello Destroyer, Kevan Funk

Brett Pardy / March 3, 2017

Hello Destroyer explores the thin line between hockey menace and model

Kevan Funk’s Hello Destroyer is a hockey movie where the drama is not in the game, but in how its violence has consequences that ripple off the ice.

Elena Lazic / March 1, 2017
