RunPee News
Poster for Redeeming Love: a couple embrace in a sunlit fieldNEW in theaters: Redeeming Love (2022) To my great surprise and pleasure, Redeeming Love is a wonderful film about the Wild West, the Gold Rush, and women's agency. It's never boring, the characters are well-drawn and acted, the costumes are perfection, and the story is engaging throughout. Outstanding scenery. Trigger Warning: Difficult scenes of horrific abuse against women and little girls. FYI. Grade: A
Danish poster for Riders of Justice (Retfærdighedens Ryttere): four bearded men in a carNon-Christmas Christmas Movies - Riders Of Justice/Retfærdighedens Ryttere (2020) Is it worth a look? Definitely! Mind you, I’ve already said I’ll watch Mads Mikkelsen in anything. It just so happens that in this case he’s a -- presumably but not stated --special forces soldier, and pulls off the action scenes with aplomb. Grade: A
Still from The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021): two armored soldiers walk through white fog, in black and whiteStreaming Movie Review - The Tragedy Of Macbeth (2021) Think Shakespeare is boring? Try this version on for size. This Macbeth is awesome. Shot in stark black and white, academy ratio, and on a starkly geometric set redolent of German Expressionism, with Denzel Washington at the top of his game. Grade: A+
Poster for Confession (2022): a man aims a pistol beside a priest in a red-lit churchIndie Movie Review - Confession (2022) Confession is a beautifully acted piece. The main cast is spellbinding. I’ve known that about Colm Meaney. Stephen Moyer has just started popping up on my radar despite a rich and varied career. I’ll be keeping an eye out for his future roles! Grade: B+
Poster for First Date: a teen drives a green car with a bullet-shattered windshieldIndie Movie Review - First Date (2022) So I’ll say that First Date definitely has the seemingly chaotic, peri-random plotting of a Pulp Fiction, but it also should be borne in mind that there is more than just a whiff of the Coen Brothers as well; particularly Raising Arizona and Fargo. Grade: B+
