“High Flying Bird” Film Review & Analysis

High Flying Bird (2019) is the newest Netflix release from director Steven Soderbergh, which sees him teaming up with one of the co-writers of Moonlight, Tarell Alvin McCraney. It stars Andre Holland (also of Moonlight fame) and Zazie Beetz in a story about an ambitious sports agent who hatches a plan to elevate his client during an NBA lockout. Like Soderbergh’s previous film Unsane, this film is shot entirely on an iPhone 7, one of his most recent efforts to demonstrate the viability of modern technology and empower young filmmakers everywhere. Is this a bold, pioneering step forward for the industry, or just a gimmick?

“Velvet Buzzsaw” Film Review

Velvet Buzzsaw (2019) is the latest from writer-director Dan Gilroy, whose debut feature Nightcrawler (2014) remains one of my favorite films of the past decade. It sees the on-screen reunion of Nightcrawler stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Rene Russo as part of a large ensemble of players in the high art world who stumble across a collection of mysterious paintings that may or may not be haunted. With a cast and crew I adored in a previous film, I was super stoked for this one and checked it out as soon as it dropped on Netflix at midnight. Is it worth the watch?
