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.

Art doc Cathy & Harry screens at the New Jersey Film Festival on Sunday, September 28!

by Morgan Kalmbach
published 2025-09-25
In their documentary film, Cathy & Harry, Marta Renzi and Daniel Wolff present the works and uniquely dynamic personalities of Catherine Murphy and Harry Roseman, two award-winning, notable artists, as well as a married couple. The film centers on Murphy and Roseman, while showcasing their artworks and stories as well as their relationship to one another and their views on life, each other, and the world around them. The film is unique in its less formal approach, taking its time to connect with the characters and enter their world, rather than them telling us who they are. This, alongside the inclusions of art and unique locations, cement Cathy & Harry as a poignant portrayal of two artists who seek to question, create, and connect.

Illuminating short documentary Where’s My Coffee Cup? screens at the at the Fall 2025 New Jersey Film Festival on Friday, September 26!

by Penelope de la Cruz
published 2025-09-23
Yehuda Sharim’s Where’s My Coffee Cup? is a short documentary that sheds light on the struggles of aging within Virginia prisons. The film focuses on John, a 64-year-old man who has been incarcerated for over thirty years. His story reveals how prison life becomes even harder as age and health problems set in. Sharim creates a deeply personal portrait representative of an often-ignored population through voiceover, performance, and imagery.

New Release Review - "The Long Walk"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-09-23
When Stephen King began writing his dystopian sci-fi novel The Long Walk in the late 1960s, it was likely intended as a Vietnam War allegory. When it was published in 1979 that conflict was still raw in Americans' minds. Few watching director Francis Lawrence's (with a script by Strange Darling's JT Mollner) take in 2025 will have Nam on their minds, but the story is now open to several more timely interpretations.
