Sundance 2018: Mandy, by David Bax

Most of the graphic design associated with Panos Cosmatos’ Mandy that’s already out there (one-sheet, title treatment, etc.) is very metal. We’re talking 1980s Dio, manly men with giant swords and demons to use them on kinda metal. In case you were...

Sundance 2018: Juliet, Naked, by David Bax

There’s something familiar about Jesse Peretz’s Juliet, Naked: Everything. From the tired music made by one character to the Web 1.0 fansite made by another to the plot itself, we’ve seen it all before. Annie (Rose Byrne) is the curator of...

Sundance 2018: Private Life, by David Bax

Tamara Jenkins’ Private Life is a quiet epic of domestic and familial tribulations. It’s also the best film of her career so far. In essence, it’s a comedy of manners, focusing heavily on an extended family’s attempts to fit awful developments...

Sundance 2018: 306 Hollywood, by David Bax

Elan and Jonathan Bogarin’s 306 Hollywood starts off with a creepy shot of a house in the black of night with amber light coming from the windows while the score’s sinister strings and chimes envelop the image. This nod toward horror is...
