#ClubKid is a wonderfully warm and achingly raw debut for writer/director Jordan Firstman. The chemistry between Firstman and Absolom is so natural and infectious, the two of them making their father and son relationship feel delightfully offbeat, authentic and tender as they navigate the inevitable hurdles and emotional complexities of their burgeoning relationship. Firstman’s storytelling and handle on tone are quite impressive, balancing the laughs with the heart-wrenching material with deft precision, never veering too heavily one way or another. As heartwarming as the film is, I love how it isn’t afraid to show how messy, unpredictable and turbulent life can be, especially when we’re trying to grow and evolve amidst the chaos. Firstman has a clear, singular voice and I can’t wait to see and feel more of it.

#TheCatInTheHat is probably the biggest pleasant surprise of the year thus far. This is a visually dazzling and wildly inventive love letter to Seuss’ wonderfully quirky work. Hader fits the stripes like a glove, his game and lively voice work helping to make the character wholly his own. However, it’s the gorgeous and delightfully creative animation that makes this a winner, delivering colorful, vibrant and beautifully detailed visuals that help bring this story to life. The humor didn’t land nearly as well for me as it most likely will for children, the film geared far more toward younger audiences. However, the film’s heart and exploration of growing up and channeling our joy and sense of wonder into what we love more than makes up for it. Color me genuinely shocked by how much I enjoyed this one. Absolutely a treat for the whole family.
WILD HORSE NINE is another singular gem from Martin McDonagh. Rockwell and Malkovich are a match made in heaven, trading fiery barbs and tender blows deftly with pinpoint precision, the latter delivering perhaps the finest performance of his career. McDonagh continues to be a master of balancing irreverent laughs and devastating melancholy, giving audiences possibly his most emotionally profound work to date, exploring regret, mortality and the consequences of one’s decisions as they enter their twilight years with considerable depth. Safe to say, this is easily his most mature film to date and one I can’t wait to revisit. BIG recommend.
