Though it champions a story structure that’s been used many times before, “The Finest Hours” is a rescue story buoyed by some terrific maritime action sequences and very good acting performances.
This story is clearly intended to be a moving tribute to the brave American soldiers who, despite their losses, clearly triumphed over an armed militia with superior numbers and weaponry.
A masterful blend of acting and filmmaking, "Carol" is unlike anything on the big screen right now. It offers a refreshing take on same-sex relationships and is sure to shed a little more light on the issue of equality in the world today.
There are few works in recent memory that are more profoundly chilling than “The Revenant.” After watching the film, it’s hard not to be left shivering, haunted by a frigid, hostile wilderness and the hot blood that paints it.
As easily forgettable as it is moving, "Truth" provides viewers with a surface-level account of a controversy that forever changed the world of professional journalism.
While it may come across as another serious historical drama at first glance, "Bridge of Spies" is both a film that waxes poetic on the ideals America was founded upon and an absorbing tale for anyone who dares to speak out against society's wrongdoings.
“The Walk” portrays the iconic event of Phillipe Petit's tightrope walk across the towers of the World Trade Center well and takes viewers on an exciting ride.
“He Named Me Malala” is a true coming-of-age story for all women, especially those who have ever been socially misrepresented and have grown up without the courage to speak out against society’s wrongdoings.
