The Matrix Resurrections – Review

December 22, 2021 Owen Morawitz 0

‘The Matrix Resurrections’ is an aggressively on-the-nose, achingly self-aware, metafictional romp through legacy, loss and love. It’s a glitch in the lived experience of ‘The Matrix’ as ‘The Matrix,’ with the feeling of a hapless ghost caught in an all-consuming algorithmic machine.

Those Who Wish Me Dead – Review

May 11, 2021 Owen Morawitz 0

“Those Who Wish Me Dead” is a compelling character drama and gripping blockbuster. The film’s inevitable moments of tense action and kinetic thrill are most impactful when sequenced next to warm scenes of sparse landscapes.

While Irresistible effectively skewers bi-partisan hackery, media complicity, and political grandstanding, it’s a shame that director Jon Stewart’s eye for satire is quickly bogged down in wistful nostalgia for a bygone era.

Babyteeth is a heart-warming and emotionally affecting drama with a resonant ending that will stick with you long after the final credits wash ashore.

The Burnt Orange Heresy – Review

July 18, 2020 Owen Morawitz 0

“The Burnt Orange Heresy” is a film that exists firmly within the domain of art history and high society and is intimately concerned with ideas of visual imagery, criticism, philosophy, and the normativity of facts and meaning.
