‘Eternity’ Review: A good take on the great beyond

Nick Johnston — Thu, 27 Nov 2025 09:01:12 +0000

David Freyne’s Eternity breaks one of the cardinal rules of first-date cinema — for the love of God, unless you’re absolutely certain the person is sufficiently cool with talking about death, do not bring that subject up in your multiplex selection and, in fact, you should at all times pretend that it doesn’t exist and that you both are immortals unless you’re hot enough to get away with it — but still winds up being what I’d think of (aside […]

Elizabeth Olsen goes to the after-world in the ‘Eternity’ trailer

You know, somebody needs to do a “man on the street” bit where they go into Somerville — home of the legalized polyamorous union — and ask some of the freaky folks what they make of this trailer for David Freyne’s Eternity. We’d wager they would find it pretty silly that someone might have to choose to spend eternity — the no-shit literal fucking afterlife — with one person, but hey, if you find out that you’re trapped in a […]

Film Review: Unrestrained and indulgent, ‘Wind River’ is a study in toxic masculinity

Nick Johnston — Wed, 09 Aug 2017 16:31:07 +0000

It was around the half-hour mark in Taylor Sheridan’s new film Wind River when I started to deeply miss Roger Deakins. Not because the cinematography in this film is bad or anything — DP Ben Richardson (Beasts of the Southern Wild) does an excellent job capturing the bleakness of the titular Indian reservation, and he doesn’t hesitate from capturing the uncompromising ugliness within Sheridan’s script. But there was always something extra going on in each frame of that film (though […]

Hashtag Perfect: Watch the trailer for Aubrey Plaza’s Instagram stalker flick ‘Ingrid Goes West’

Let’s get this out of the way, y’all. We don’t hate Aubrey Plaza (though you might have been confused by our Legion season recap earlier today). In fact, she’s super good in a bunch of projects, from Ned Rifle to the criminally underseen feminist sex comedy The To-Do List. Her latest theatrical project, Ingrid Goes West, dropped a trailer today, and boy howdy does it look like a must-see. Ingrid Goes West is the debut feature of director Matt Spicer, […]
