Movie reviews of Joanna Orland

Lacking momentum and aural-visual sheen, The Lost City of Z has the feel of an old classic, but fails to find its Z. Review

Has moved on from its iconic story from two decades past, much as we too have moved on. Review

While there are many interesting ideas, none of them are seen through to a satisfying conclusion. Review

Lacking subtlety, this allegorical film tells the tale of female coming-of age in an abstract, genre-bending fashion. Review

Captures what it is to be a woman in the American Northwest, striving to define oneself against societal conventions. Review

There is so much potential that it’s almost painful how it misses the mark. Review

Between Hill’s hilariously absurd characterization of Efraim and the light tone, this film is actually rather fun to watch. Review
