New Release Review - "Dead Of Winter"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-09-29

Minnesota nice meets Minnesota vice in this snowbound thriller that sees Emma Thompson deploy her best Marge Gunderson impression. Thompson plays Barb, a recently widowed woman who sets out on a mission to scatter her late husband's ashes at his favourite fishing spot, a frozen lake in the middle of nowhere (conveniently for plot purposes, one of the last corners of America with no cellphone reception).



New Release Review - "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-09-28

Video essayist turned filmmaker Kogonada previously took us on beautiful journeys with his first two films, Columbus and After Yang. Those films were intimate and understated, but his latest, which bills itself as big and bold, is simply overbearing and vulgar. Adapting someone else's script (Seth Reiss) for the first time, Kogonada's third film might be a case of "one for them," of a filmmaker taking a job to keep active. Thematically it fits into Kogonada's wheelhouse, but A Big Bold Beautiful Journey has none of the emotional resonance of the director's previous work, despite all its "cry now" pummelling of the audience with shallow sentimentality.

First Look Review - "Another End"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-09-26

Hitchcock's Vertigo has inspired dozens of imitations over the decades, but most of them focus on the thriller element of that canonised classic. With Another End, director Piero Messina strips away the thriller plot and focusses on the more intriguing aspects of Hitchcock's film, i.e. grief and obsession. He does so with the sort of sci-fi conceit that might have fared better as an hour long episode of an anthology like Black Mirror rather than a two-hour feature. The longer Another End runs the more time we have to pick it apart, but if you can watch this film through an uncynical lens it has its emotional rewards.
