Poor Things: A Rapturously Fantastical Comedy About Female Liberation

November 16, 2023 / Aaron Haughton

Yorgos Lanthimos reteams with Emma Stone and Tony McNamara for his latest extravagant and strange offering, Poor Things, which earned him a Golden Lion at the Venice International Film Festival. Based on the Scottish novel by Alasdair Gray, the film is a wildly imaginative and wickedly funny dark comedy, rich in theme, character, and color, that combines elements of gothic romance, fantasy, and sci-fi into an absolutely unforgettable cinematic confection.

MANDY Will Melt Your Face Off

September 16, 2018 / Aaron Haughton

With MANDY, writer/director Panos Cosmatos takes everything B movie trash and sacrifices it on the altar in the name of high art as an offering to the midnight movie cinema gods. The result is a blood-soaked Nicolas Cage at full-tilt and a movie-going experience that’s so drenched in LSD that you may catch a contact high. You’ll want to lean in and inhale deeply with this one.
