Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc (2025) 96% 4/5 EDIT “In the big-screen adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s wild dark fantasy, the delicate storytelling ends up being just as compelling as the chainsaws, devils, and visually excessive fight scenes that the series has become known for. ” – GamesRadar+ Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Knife + Heart (2018) 81% EDIT “Knife + Heart is at once of its time and timeless. The design, the synth score, the amour fou — everything feels like it’s been plucked from the Brian De Palma and Dario Argento films of the 70s.” – Vague Visages Jun 5, 2024 Full Review Visitor Q (2001) 60% EDIT “In Visitor Q, the title character is presented as less of a sexual figure, and a more as a kind of lodestar, someone around whom the dysfunctional can gravitate, in order for them to find something approaching peace.” – Vague Visages Jun 5, 2024 Full Review Teorema (1968) 83% EDIT “At a first glance, Teorema seems like a film that would foreground the political...but instead, Pasolini uses the ideas that surround wealthy families as a way to explore silence, sadness and the ways in which people lose touch with their identities...” – Vague Visages Jun 5, 2024 Full Review Showgirls (1995) 24% EDIT “Whether or not anyone thinks that it succeeds as a satire of the male gaze and objectification, it relishes in the trashiness of the surfaces it may or may not want to critique...the camp glory of Showgirls, however, comes from those very surfaces.” – Vague Visages Jun 5, 2024 Full Review Cured (2020) 89% EDIT “It's unrealistic to expect every queer film to tackle all aspects of queer life and history, but Cured presents its narrative in a way that's too clean and neat, too much of a happily-ever-after.” – Vague Visages Jun 5, 2024 Full Review Cowboys (2020) 92% EDIT “Joe’s backstory allows Cowboys to explore the difficulty of being young and trans, but never in a way that feels exploitative.” – Vague Visages Jun 5, 2024 Full Review The Souvenir Part II (2021) 90% EDIT “Like its predecessor, The Souvenir Part II is defined by its open spaces; the silences in conversation, the gap between ‘action’ and ‘cut,’ the clouds between the memory of how something happened, and the reality of it.” – Vague Visages Jun 5, 2024 Full Review Videodrome (1983) 83% EDIT “The cold, the mechanical, the projected — all of these traits become lively embodied and erotic.” – Vague Visages Jun 5, 2024 Full Review Crash (1996) 65% EDIT “While the bodies of these David Cronenberg characters are fusions of technology and skin, the acts that they engage in are also a sort of fusion.” – Vague Visages Jun 5, 2024 Full Review Our Father (2022) 80% EDIT “Our Father doesn’t seem to know why it wants to tell the story; if it wants to present empathy for victims or create a character study of evil; if it wants to be a documentary or a horror.” – Pajiba May 23, 2022 Full Review The Takedown (2022) 40% EDIT “There are interesting ideas and charming performances littered throughout The Takedown; the problem is that they’re all trapped inside a film that’s constantly at war with itself.” – Pajiba May 17, 2022 Full Review Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022) 46% EDIT “In ways both big and small, meaningless and existential, Secrets of Dumbledore simply doesn’t know what it wants to be -- or how to be it -- and so in the end it may be better to find a magical way to simply whisk this film away.” – Pajiba Apr 21, 2022 Full Review The Bubble (2022) 20% EDIT “The Bubble both is and isn’t many things: it’s a pandemic film that doesn’t care about the pandemic; a satire that’s too nice, and a comedy that isn’t funny.” – Pajiba Apr 7, 2022 Full Review The Worst Person in the World (2021) 96% EDIT “What Trier does with his novelistic form and narrative digressions is set out to craft something that could only ever exist as a film. ” – Pajiba Mar 22, 2022 Full Review
