¡Nae Pasaran!
¡Nae Pasaran! is an inspiring message that should be heeded by progressives everywhere. You must act. Resist. No Pasaran. Jim Ross reviews at Glasgow Film Festival.
Disappearance
DISAPPEARANCE is a slow-burning but engrossing tale of two young Iranians seeking medical help after they sleep with each other. Jim Ross reviews at Glasgow Film Festival.
You Were Never Really Here
YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE is a tyrannically taut film that often feels like a 90-minute heart attack. The idea that any film – even one of Ramsay’s own – could make WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN seem relaxed is absurd, yet here it is.
Isle of Dogs
ISLE OF DOGS doesn’t quite scale Wes Anderson’s recent heights, this engaging stop motion animation and Bryan Cranston’s performance are an absolute joy. Jim Ross reviews at Glasgow Film Festival 2018.
Abundant Acreage Available
Rather than abundant acreage, there are only sparse stretches. Jim Ross reviews at Glasgow Film Festival.
Submergence
SUBMERGENCE is much like the drowning its lead characters spend time talking about: suffocating, cold, and surrounded by wet fish. Jim Ross reviews at Glasgow Film Festival.
The Divine Order
THE DIVINE ORDER is an enjoyable tale of personal progress mirroring society, despite numerous shortcomings. Jim Ross reviews at Glasgow Film Festival 2018.
Western
WESTERN conjures an atmosphere and intensity which seeps into every inch of Valeska Grisebach’s film. Jim Ross reviews at Glasgow Film Festival 2018.
