Movie
Australian director John Hillcoat is particularly adept at handling dark, violent source material. He explored themes of revenge and redemption in 2005’s The Proposition and 2009’s The Road. He’s at it again in Lawless, a perio...

It isn’t just the violence in William Friedkin’s Killer Joe that’ll make your stomach turn. It’s the sex, too. That combination – which results in several twisted scenes of sexual deviance – is so creepy, it suggests the NC-17 ...

In the opening scene of Red Hook Summer, Spike Lee’s latest “joint,” 13-year-old Flik Royale (Jules Brown) travels from Atlanta to Red Hook, Brooklyn to live with his preacher grandfather, Da Good Bishop Enoch Rouse (Clarke Pet...
