‘Unbearing’ (2017) A Short Film Review

I never really babysat when I was younger. Or even now for that matter. For me, there is something rather unnerving about watching other people’s children. Especially for strangers.

‘Hooker Assassin’ (2017) Deliciously Revengeful

Lucio Rojas’ ‘Trauma’ (2017) Film Review

From Chile comes Trauma, one of the most controversial films I’ve had the pleasure of viewing, although not everyone will share this opinion, I’m sure. Right up there with A Serbian Film, Trauma breeds the same kind of discontent for the country’s political regime.  Straight out of The Optical Theater Festival, Trauma …

There are so many hidden layers that have great symbolism behind them, and I personally feel that it is imperative to share these meanings to better understand the complexity of this masterful movie. Darren Aronofsky’s Mother! is …
