Randall White spent 13 years capturing his relationship with his wife before her suicide. He spoke to Film Inquiry about the process of making A Fine Wife.
A Fine Wife is an important film and a conversation starter, giving us a raw inside look at mental illness from the point of view of a loving mate.
Desolation is a unique take on a traditional horror movie, bending genre conventions in to a unique (and thoroughly contemporary) nightmare.
With a story full of surprising twists and turns, a canvas of dazzling onscreen visuals, and a career-best performance from Middleditch, Entanglement succeeds on several tiers.
Maybe it’s slightly too long and loses focus on a handful of occasions, but Kingdom of Us is a vital watch, carrying a real sense of urgency.
Whilst it has many problems, Maya Dardel is a prickly, contentious and fascinating film that knows with absolute certainty what it is.
We have the Academy to thank for bringing this warmly humorous Swedish gem to our attention – it’s one of the year’s most likeable films.
Paint it Black is an impressive debut from director Amber Tamblyn, with strong performances shining brighter than the visual quirks.
Hope Dickson Leach’s debut The Levelling is a familiar story of grief, told with an emotional incisiveness by brand new talent, and reminds us the British film industry is alive and well.
In July of 1974, television reporter Christine Chubbuck committed suicide on a live news broadcast. This is not a spoiler for Christine, as the film concentrates on the tragic events that led to its title character’s fall.
Usually I will have heard about a film before it is released. It’s odd when that doesn’t happen. It’s even odder when the film was originally released almost a year ago and I still haven’t heard about it.
To put it bluntly, Ricki and the Flash is a film which feels unfinished. It’s not a poorly made film, everyone involved seems to be at least putting in some effort, it’s just that between the script and overall editing, large chunks of the film seem to be missing and the film feels like it doesn’t deliver a full story. This is quite surprising, as the cast and crew behind the film are quite talented.
This April, Cobain: Montage of Heck, the new rock doc by Brett Morgen, was released into the world. I was a little apprehensive because I felt as if all the insight that we would be given into the life of Kurt Cobain had already been exposed.
We all know that mainstream Hollywood loves making movies about show business. Heck, there was an article on this very website recently that outlined the Academy’s obsession with rewarding movies that either celebrate or send-up the showbiz lifestyle. Clouds of Sils Maria is a very different take on that same subject.
Although it may not be for everyone due to its pitch-black tone, Wild Tales is a film that I imagine everybody who sees it can relate to in some way. It is a film about one of the most basic human emotions, one that is rarely the central emotion of any movie: anger.
