'PVT CHAT' (2021) Movie Review

Writer/director Ben Howzie’s grimy indie drama, PVT CHAT, takes some big swings and has grand ambitions on a miniscule budget.

'Uncut Gems' (2019) Movie Review

In 2017, the Safdie Brothers, AKA Josh and Bennie Safdie, delivered Good Time, a frantic blast of chaotic cinematic energy.

The buzz on Uncut Gems has been through the roof after a festival run, and just watching this first trailer stresses me the hell out.
