    • Sugar avoids the melodrama that sometimes marred Half Nelson, though it doesnt build to a climax so much as amble to a close. ( Read More )
    • Bahrani and co writer Bahareh Azimi havent underscripted the film by any means, but whats most remarkable about Goodbye Solo is what it achieves without words how it illustrates Solo, normally a cheerful motor mouth, silently grappling with mental anguish. ( ( Read More )

    • No knock on Sarins industriousness it isnt easy making a living in the Canadian system but the only conclusion that can be made from hiring the director to make Sugar is that Prime Video simply doesnt give a flying Canuck about the quality of its domestic lineup. ( Read More )
