There are no truths or innate revelations unveiled in You Can See Everything, a meta mind game of sarcasm and irony which entertains and perplexes....if there is any insight into Elizabeth Holmes, it's through a glass darkly.

The play's the thing catching consciences of kings in Iñárritu's sprawling, satirical portrait of our collective complicity in self-destruction whilst also examining the inherent necessity of art as an essential mirror for behavioral contemplation.

While the titular Boiuna is an alluring and well designed attraction, this creature feature feels more sluggish than snaky, forgetting to outfit its characters with anything more than a rudimentary, one-dimensional point of view.

Whilst commensurately better written than its source novel, Verity remains a tepid rendering of what could have been a ghastly but entertaining neo-noir, erotic thriller centered on two femme fatales.

Sir Ridley Scott pulls off a YA rendering of the post apocalypse in The Dog Stars, a familiar, simplified operation, its superficial characterizations and pulchritudinous cast overshadowed by the essence of an exuberant canine.

Casper Kelly perverts the syrupy schmaltz of 90s children's television programs with Buddy, creating what feels like a trippy mixture of David Lynch and Lewis Carroll, seemingly intended to terrorize children and disturb adults.
