		<description><![CDATA[It should come as no surprise that even for the most stalwart of cinephiles there are always enormous holes in their film education. Sure, I may have seen both CRANK films, the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA film and a large portion of the works of Baz Lurhman, but before this latest round of Lightbox&#8217;s cinemateque retrospective, I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This January, a month traditionally reserved as a dumping ground for movies that neither fit in the mold for Awards season, nor are mainstream enough to be considered Summer blockbuster fare, have seen a few surprises show up. CHRONICLE joins the likes of WOMAN IN BLACK and THE GREY as a slightly offbeat, literate genre [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;s most frustrating about THE INKEEPERS is that it&#8217;s far less clever than the film tries desperately to be. With Ti West&#8217;s script (and direction, and editing, and production) we get a passable genre piece with illusions of grandeur. Mixing the matter-of-fact dialogue of PULP FICTION with a spookified hotel channeling every film that came [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let me state at the outset that RED TAILS will be seen as both a commercial and critical failure. It&#8217;s hard to see, despite the mass marketing blitz, how this film about the famed Tuskeegee airmen, the first black fighting air squadron in the US military, will manage even in this slow season to reap [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are few political figures as polarizing at Margaret Thatcher, leader of great Britain through a tumultuous decade that followed a sharp, shocking decline in the UKs economic and social fortunes. Any film that tackles her story is bound to be met with a great deal of skepticism, fearing either hatchet piece or hagiography. Gratefully, [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a dark, droll work, one based on a play originally written in French, playing (in translated form) for hundreds of performances on Broadway. I’m the first to [...]]]></description>

The tone presented in this film, clearly derived from the  John le Carré’s source, seems a world [...]]]></description>

With this, his second film and second collaboration with the fantastically talented actor, McQueen turns his lens to a far more prosaic topic &#8211; loveless fucking. Not since Cronenberg&#8217;s 1996 film CRASH, also a film [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Co-written, co-produced, and starring Glen Close, it&#8217;s hard to avoid feeling that ALBERT NOBBS is a mere vanity piece by the celebrated actress. It&#8217;s easy to dismiss the film as mere Oscar bait, a &#8220;showy&#8221; gender-bending presentation with the staged uglification that often bestows kudos upon actresses, be it in the form of distorted nose, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the prologue to HEADSHOT we&#8217;re quickly introduced to our lead character, the camera floating as a first person shot. Wearing monk robes, the man walks into a compound, raises a gun, then&#8230; Black. Months later, he wakes up, only to have his life turned upside down, literally. Whether it&#8217;s a bullet in his head [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[KILLER JOE is a dark, vicious little character piece marking a return of sorts for William Friedkin. Sure, the director of EXORCIST and FRENCH CONNECTION made a couple decent films in the last four decades, but he&#8217;s hardly been able to make a real splash since. Essentially the film revolved around five players. Firt there&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I admit upfront I had no hope for this film. I figured Spurlock would trot out his usual shtick, focusing more on himself than his subject, and engaging in a fatuous kind of culture tourism, diving deep into the belly of geekdom. Instead, A FAN&#8217;S HOPE is by far Spurlock&#8217;s most matured and compelling work [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yet another in a slew of Cancer-themed fest flicks, this one takes another take on the subject through the eyes of a talented yet troubled youth Donald (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) going through his own anger issues as he undergoes chemotherapy. Donald&#8217;s biggest concern is that he won&#8217;t die a virgin. Eliciting the assistance of a local [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SUPERCLÀSICO is one of those real gems you get to experience at an international film festival &#8211; breezy, clever, beautifully crafted and performed, it&#8217;s a gem of a film that treats its audience with respect while being nothing short of enjoyable. The fact that it&#8217;s (co)written be the writer of one of my least favourite [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[KILL LIST is a strange, unsettling film. More character drama than straight out genre piece, the opening half owes more to Mike Leigh film than to Tobe Hooper. We&#8217;re introduced to Jay (Neil Maskell), a hitman that&#8217;s between jobs. After his last gig went awry (for reasons unclear at the beginning), he&#8217;s struggling to make [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another in a line of films this year that start with great flourish, yet can&#8217;t sustain &#8217;till the end, THE AWAKENING is 4/5ths of a great, moody little piece with a tacked on conclusion that washes much of it away. When it&#8217;s good, however, the film is a lot of fun. Set in 1921, the [...]]]></description>
