Now that we’re about halfway through the year, the time has come to look back on the last six months. This week, I caught up with three critically acclaimed 2019 films that I had not yet seen. Here, you can read my short-ish reviews of them.
Seána Kerslake in a scene from Lee Cronin’s The Hole in the Ground
Rene Russo and Jake Gyllenhaal in a scene from Dan Gilroy’s Velvet Buzzsaw
Nicolas Cage in a scene from Brian Taylor’s Mom and Dad
Thomas Jane in a scene from Zak Hilditch’s 1922.
Jake Gyllenhaal in a scene from Daniel Espinosa’s Life, although presumably this is not a scene from Daniel Espinosa’s life.
Nat Wolff has an unexpected guest in this scene from Adam Wingard’s Death Note.
