'Couture' Review

More than a decade ago, Angelina Jolie underwent a double mastectomy out of concern that she had a likelihood of developing cancer. In her new film Couture, she plays a filmmaker facing a cancer diagnosis. The real-world parallels add poignancy to this Fashion Week drama. But is that enough to recommend the film? My review is up at the Los Angeles Times.

Then, in our Reboot segment, we go back to 1988 to discuss Martin Scorsese's controversial The Last Temptation of Christ. Lots of good stuff here, which you can hear down below.

Transilvania 2026: 'Lionel' Review

Lionel just won the top prize at the Transilvania Film Festival. It has a fetching premise, telling the story of a father and son who don't see eye to eye, starring an actual father and son who don't see eye to eye. My review is now live at Screen International.
