Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you,
You look like a monkey and you smell like one too
With graphic violence, rape, drugs, pedophilia and necrophilia, Veronica watched A Serbian Film so you don't have to. But maybe you actually should.
Some excellent movies come out in 2017, and some truly excellent movies that came out last year finally got the distribution they deserve.
If I had to sum up 2017 I'd use the word "dread." And cinema, a mirror of humanity as it were, sure seemed to reflect that sentiment...
Veronica looks at Black Christmas and Elves – movies about female anxiety, loss of autonomy, murder, and, oh, Christmas.
AKA How to Lose Friends and Alienate People by telling them to shove their Christmas cheer and watch movies about losing yourself in a maze of hangovers and murder in the Australian outback.
My Friend Dahmer emphasizes how the culture of cruelty and selfishness in high school can aid in masking real warning signs. But to forgive or not to forgive is another question entirely.
Veronica takes a closer look at a different kind of odyssey. Featuring Showgirls, Good Time and Tangerine.
An engaging documentary about a woman who went from vaudeville, to radio, to variety shows, to Broadway, to television, to game shows, to stage shows, to voice overs and still is looking for more work in her ninties.
