By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 3.3 cats
Director: Jane Schoenbrun
Starring: Anna Cobb | Michael J Rogers

Chris says: “I know this might make me sound like an Old Person, but I didn’t fully grasp this movie’s point. The first half maintains a good level of creativity and suspense as teenager Casey takes ‘The World’s Fair Challenge’,

A Reckoning in Boston (2021)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 3.75 cats
Director: James Rutenbeck

Rating: 4.75 cats

The Fall (2006)

Brian says: “Watching THE FALL, one is reminded of Picasso’s quote about Matisse: ‘he is only an eye, but my god, what an eye!’ Breathtakingly, staggeringly beautiful, THE FALL is the epitome of a film that can only be truly

Revolutionary Road (2008)

Peg says: “For a relatively young actor, Michael Shannon has, at 35, a long and respectable resume. But amid his many small roles in television and film, his most recent turn as John Givings, the emotionally troubled neighbor of the
