WATCH CLOSELY: “Minx” is Sexy, Funny and Oh So Seventies

This clever, funny, sexy series from HBO Max is my pick for the best new feel-good retro comedy of 2022.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Featured, Review, Television Tagged: Minx, Ophelia Lovibond, Peg Aloi

Film Review: “Hellbender” — Witches in the Woods

Hellbender is not just a fabulous indie film about witches, it’s also an original coming-of-age horror movie.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Hellbender, John Adams, Peg Aloi, Toby Poser, Wonder Wheel Productions, Zelda Adams

Film Review: “Men” — Not This Asshole Again

I wish I could state unequivocally that this is a film perfect for this moment in time, and perhaps it is. But not in a good way.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Alex Garland, Jessie Buckley, Men, Peg Aloi, Rory Kinnear

Film Feature: Favorite Fiction Features Directed by Women — An International Poll

The result of critics polled for their Ten Favorite Fiction Features Directed by Women — with the choices of Arts Fuse reviewers.

By: Gerald Peary Filed Under: Commentary, Featured, Film, Review Tagged: David Stewart, Evelyn Rosenthal, Gearld Peary, Peg Aloi, Tim Jackson

WATCH CLOSELY: “Severance” — All Work and No Life

Without letter-perfect performances from the actors I’m not sure Severance would work anywhere near as well as it does.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Featured, Review, Television Tagged: Adam Scott, Ben Stiller, Dan Erickson, Peg Aloi, Severance

Film Review: “You Won’t Be Alone” — Witchcraft, Forever

This is no run-of-the-mill supernatural witch movie.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: folk horror, Goran Stolekvski, Peg Aloi, You Won't Be Alone

Film Review: “Master” — The Ghosts of Oppression

Mariama Diallo’s film is a subtle, sure-handed thriller that nevertheless delivers a stunningly deft commentary on the enduring horror of racism and sexism.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Mariama Diallo, Master, Peg Aloi

WATCH CLOSELY: “Pieces of Her” — The Dangers of Privilege

This Netflix thriller takes some interesting twists and turns as it moves along its absurd way.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Featured, Review, Television Tagged: Karin Slaughter, Peg Aloi, Pieces of Her

WATCH CLOSELY: “Inventing Anna” — Endless Scamming

Despite some occasionally far-fetched situations, Inventing Anna tells a fascinating story about conning the upper class.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Featured, Review, Television Tagged: Inventing Anna, Julia Garner, Peg Aloi, Shonda Rhimes

Film Review: “Cyrano” — Beauty Is Truth, Truth Beauty

There is much to recommend in this opulently romantic film.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Cyrano, Haley Bennett, Joe Wright, Peg Aloi, Peter Dinklage
