Breathe In, Drake Doremus

Alex Heeney / April 4, 2014

Review: In Breathe In, a foreign exchange student quickens the breath of a middle-aged man

Writer-director Drake Doremus’s new meditation on marital infidelity, Breathe In, is a puzzling combination of emotional resonance and frustratingly lazy, on-the-nose directing. When it works, it’s usually thanks to the strong performances of its leads, eighteen-year-old British exchange student Sophie (Felicity Jones, playing a character ten years younger than herself) and the dissatisfied high school […]

Aerial shots reveal a city under constant construction; the numerous tall buildings create a lonely place where you can easily get lost or go unnoticed. Despite the gorgeous shots of the […]

Veronica Mars movie, Jason Dehiring

Alex Heeney / March 14, 2014

Review: In the Veronica Mars movie, the gumshoe is back and in fine form

Sparks fly between Jason Dohring and Kristen Bell on the big screen in the Veronica Mars movie.
