Twinless

“It feels like every day is a bad day now.”

Twinless goes places I never expected from the beginning. It toes the line between comedy and drama effortlessly, complete with heartbreaking scenes one moment to bits of comedic relief the next. The turns the story took early on might seem like writer/director/star James Sweeney is showing his cards early, but as the film progresses and you become attached to these characters, you realize there’s more tricks up his sleeve.

“I think I need some help.”

Stephen Wesley’s directorial debut crafts such a delicate story that at first feels harmless, but as it continues, rips your soul out.

There’s some…

You’re either going to love this or hate this and that solely depends on your tolerance to cringe comedy. Super funny in parts, but simple in storytelling. I had a good time.

The scariest part was the 17 year old calling Sandra Oh “mommy” still.

Bring Her Back

Wow that was bleak….

Knowing nothing & seeing no trailers and going in blind was the way to go for sure. Bring Her Back immerses you in its world from the beginning where you see the signs that something is wrong, but you aren’t quite sure how it will all shake out. 

The child actors and Sally Hawkins killed their roles and all were equally able to hold a lot of weight with their decisions and delivery. Hawkins was deliciously villainous,…
