Cameraperson

This documentary was advertised as a collection of footage shot while the filmmaker was working on several other films. And, yeah, that's what it was. I expected some sort of narrative through-line to tie things together, but if it was there, I didn't see it. Ultimately, this left the film feeling disjointed and without purpose, albeit a nice, eclectic collection of footage.

6/10

John Wick: Chapter 2

The unique features of John Wick such as the fantastic world-building and incredible action sequences have been expanded upon, and this film delivered everything I wanted from a sequel to one of my favorite films of 2014.

10/10

Upstream Color

A complicated narrative that refuses to hold your hand, but will nonetheless completely engross you. Some of the scenes were difficult to watch, but the performances and gorgeous combination of cinematography and score made this into a wonderful experience.

8/10

Fences

Two monster performances comprise the entirety of this film. It was engrossing and well shot, but the film would be far weaker without the acting prowess of Washington and Davis.

8.5/10

Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk

It was clear that this film wanted to be more impactful, but most of the 'heavy' moments failed to land for me. The lead performance was fairly solid, and the film looked wonderful, but it left me wanting.

6.75/10

Hail, Caesar!

Nothing has changed since the last time I watched this, almost exactly a year ago. It's another hilarious, finely-crafted Coen Brothers film that is a delight to watch.

9/10

Author: The JT LeRoy Story

A truly bizarre and tragic story that gets crazier and crazier as the documentary progresses.

8/10

Allied

I found every aspect of this film to be mediocre, with no element standing out from any other.

5/10

The Love Witch

While a visually stunning throwback to classic cult films, this movie did very little for me. I think I might just lack appreciation for the style, maybe?

4/10

Velvet Goldmine

I enjoyed the artistic style and music this film offers, but found the plot a bit lacking. Ewan McGregor's performance was wonderful, but a lot of the other acting was a bit over-the-top.
