53rd Chicago International Film Festival Capsule Review – The Shape of Water (2017)

October 27, 2017 by Robert Kojder

The Shape of Water contains physically intimate expressions of love between two different sets of characters, both inordinately different in tone. One is rather awkwardly aggressive with no real affection shown by either member of a married couple, while multiple other sequences depict Sally Hawkins’ sign language communicating mute Elisa and the film’s centralized human reminiscent amphibian […]

October 22, 2017 by Robert Kojder

Mark Twain once wrote that “Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured”, which is true and a lesson the residents of the titular town of Ebbing, Missouri will come to realize. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri isn’t like the […]

53rd Chicago International Film Festival Capsule Review – I, Tonya (2017)

October 20, 2017 by Robert Kojder

Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street gave Margot Robbie a huge opportunity that she fearlessly seized, dressing up as Harley Quinn broke her into the mainstream as a Hollywood star, and now  I, Tonya should net her a first-time Oscar nomination. Directed by Craig Gillespie (last year’s The Finest Hours), the biopic depicts the figure skating career of the infamous […]

53rd Chicago International Film Festival Capsule Review – Lady Bird (2017)

October 19, 2017 by Robert Kojder

In the hands of many other writers, the titular, self-proclaimed Lady Bird – real name Christine McPherson played by renowned Irish actress Saoirse Ronan – would come across as whiny, entitled, and unlikable to the point where the entire film comes crumbling down. Fortunately, Greta Gerwig is unlike most writers, as her directorial debut is […]

53rd Chicago International Film Festival Capsule Review – Last Flag Flying (2017)

October 18, 2017 by Robert Kojder

“Those that have been following the acting career of Steve Carell are most likely aware that he has made attempts to shed his comedic image by taking on dramatic roles, particularly ones that also benefit from his natural timing for humor.
