Movie reviews of Jeremie Sabourin

While the Little Things has been getting kind of blasted by most reviewers for the same things we’ve taken it to task for, this is still a well made film and an interesting one at that. Review

Ramsey and Hannah Katherine Jost put together a pretty weird flick at times but storytelling and characters are never sacrificed for spectacle. Review

Like the aforementioned Occurrence at Mills Creek, Covidream is a difficult film to rate just because of the intention of making it into a much longer tale taking place during such a massive world event. Review

While the film does stutter along the way with some of its storytelling, writer/director Victor Neumark present a very competently made product. Review

Draw With Me provides an emotionally uplifting look at a young person’s coming out journey and their ability to find understanding and acceptance. Review

One Night in Miami is a wonderful feature length debut for Regina King. Having already proven herself as a powerhouse onscreen in a film like If Beale Street Could Talk, King does it now in the director’s chair. Review

Rob Levinson’s Where Were You isn’t without its flaws but its message and heart rise above its shortcomings. Review

With White Lie, Lewis and Thomas don’t simply relay this story to the audience. They make you feel the emotional weight and the mental drain that it has on not only the film’s main character but everyone she interacts with. Review

Even with its minor issues, Under the Bed is still a satisfying little slice of horror. Review

Between the performances, headlined by Vanessa Kirby, depressingly realistic subject matter, and some expertly crafted visual storytelling, Pieces of a Woman is a crippling drama that’s not to be forgotten. Review

The characters and lighthearted comedy, even in the face of its suffering main character, maintain a fun overall tone. Review

It’s just such an awful mess of ideas and characters and is executed so poorly. Review

Kajillionaire is a uniquely bizarre experience but a good one nonetheless. Fitting in with our recent review trope, the film is definitely not for everybody but it’s not completely inaccessible either. Review

Because of this, the film is a very hard one to recommend to casual film fans but, for those who enjoy the surreal, The Bloodhound could be the film for you. Review

This, and many of the other social issues debated throughout Black Bear, is compelling as these are the types of conversations going on in contemporary America today. Review

The Mark of the Bell Witch is worth your time if you’re interested in the supernatural, folklore, or ghost stories. Yet, it’d be interesting to see what Seth Breedlove would’ve done with a feature length narrative film as opposed to this hybrid documentary style. Review

Mank is one of those films that’s a bit tough to rank. There’s no doubt that some people will absolutely adore it and it’s hard to argue against that. It’s a bold piece of cinema by a filmmaker who really has nothing left to prove outside of trying to win an ever-elusive Oscar at some point in his career. Review

We Are the Missing is still an independent marvel given its believability, storytelling, acting, and, of course, its shoestring budget. Review

Speaking of Searching, Run isn’t quite up to the standards of Chaganty’s first effort but it’s still very, very solid. While Searching felt like a different kind of smart thriller with its stylistic investigative choices, Run feels a little more like what most people would expect. Review

On the Rocks is so much like Lost in Translation but it also feels like a wholly original experience at times too. While this new film may not be as emotional or as tight as its 2003 counterpart, it’s still a wonderful standout in a very strange 2020. Review

It does just enough to not feel like its cashing in on others’ recent successes while also providing genre fans with an intensely creepy horror experience here in late 2020. Review

Tales of Frankenstein is a fun take on an oft-adapted tale that allows him to work outside of what most already know about Dr. Frankenstein and his horrific creation. Review

It’s surprising how dense the film is in terms of content, substance, and commentary. Review

Everything looks and sounds great with some wonderful aesthetics, camera angles, and framing to assist in telling the story. The old timey soundtrack also adds some interesting flair to the story as, stylistically, it shouldn’t really fit the subject matter. Review
