White Noise: A Faithful Adaptation Of Don DeLillo's Death-Obsessed Postmodern Masterwork

December 12, 2022 / Aaron Haughton

Writer/director Noah Baumbach tackles Don DeLillo’s mid-80s postmodern masterwork, White Noise, in his most ambitious film to date. Although he struggles under the weight of this purportedly “unfilmable” novel’s heady themes and concepts, Baumbach faithfully captures the book’s essence and commendably brings it to life with a great deal of inspiration and enthusiasm.

Killing of a Sacred Deer: Yorgos Lanthimos’ Awkward Atmospheric Revenge Film

November 07, 2017 / Aaron Haughton

Yorgos Lanthimos first exploded on the scene with his film Dogtooth and has been flooring critics with his unique brand of dry-humored and awkward absurdism. Last year’s effort The Lobster (also featuring Colin Farrell) was a highly praised oddball rom-com with a premise that sounded like it couldn’t fail, but left many moviegoers divided. The same will be evident with his latest film, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, an ominous and brooding, albeit bizarre, revenge thriller of horrific proportions.
