New Release Review - "After The Hunt"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-10-20

Recognising this, Luca Guadagnino has rewarded her with the sort of role usually reserved for the Kidmans, Blanchetts and Winslets of this world, a juicy lead part in a hot button drama. Roberts elevates the shoddy material and her magnetism ensures we're always at least partially engaged, but the film around her is an overblown mess.

Frank Hanavan: "Natural & Plus"

Frank Hanavan's Hoboken is wet. In his streetscapes, surfaces glisten. The sky is rarely glowering, but it does seem full; ready to have something to say, or wrapping up something that it is busy saying. The canopy of foliage that hangs over the streetcorners feels saturated with moisture. Even the shadows on the sidewalk are puddle blue. Businesses have their umbrellas open. A few people do, too.
