"Tone poem" and "memory play" are two of the most overused terms when it comes to indie arthouse films, yet it’s hard to think of better descriptors for writer/director Kogonada’s elegiac sci-fi family drama "After Yang." After an exuberant burst of an opening credits dance sequence, the movie quickly becomes a wistful meditation on what it means to be human, what it means to be an android and what it means to be a family. Here's film critic Caroline Siede's review.

'Fresh' review: Craving a sharp, stylish satire? Bon Appétit.
When the title of “Fresh” pops up onscreen some 30-ish minutes into its expertly-paced runtime, the bold letters do exactly what they are meant to do: let the audience know that the movie has finally started.

The opening act of director Mimi Cave’s assured, darkly comic debut feature immediately puts the viewer in the position of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Here's film critic Allison Shoemaker's review.

‘The Batman’ review: Why so serious?
The latest take on the Caped Crusader, Matt Reeves' “The Batman” offers a weirder, less likable Bruce Wayne (Robert Pattison) and some slightly subversive things to say about its own genre. But at the end of the day, it’s still yet another grim and gritty Batman movie — one that’s plentiful style can’t quite make up for its lack of substance. Here's film critic Caroline Siede's review.
