  The Card Counter 2021

  ★★★★½ Watched by Brian Haley 22 Jan 2022

  It’s not just that Schrader is one of the handful of directors who isn’t afraid of serious moral inventory, but he’s also one of the few capable of pulling it off without embarrassment.

  Dark Waters 2019

  ★★★★ Watched by Brian Haley 15 Jan 2022

  Gives one pause to think that this could have been a hell of a lot more “successful” if it hadn’t been crafted with such care.

  Dune 2021

  ★★★★½ Watched by Brian Haley 24 Oct 2021

  I can’t stop thinking of the 12 year-old kid next to me at this screening. He put down his popcorn two minutes in and didn’t pick it up again. Got the distinct feeling he was having a life-changing experience. That’s what it’s all about.
