    We need to have the Channing Tatum conversation, so present in the moment even when facing an impossibly horrific situation as a parent. His last scene destroyed me A very, VERY upsetting film with such impactful moments though I have some gripes with some storytelling…

    JOSEPHINE is a tremendously heavy, overwhelming film that’s frustrating in all the right ways, immersing you in the perspective of an eight-year-old girl who witnesses a crime and struggles to process what she’s seen. As her ill-equipped but loving parents do their best to…

This intensely empathetic film—co-starring Channing Tatum and Gemma Chan—has a tendency to tip into strident affectation. But thanks to newcomer Reeves, it still lands more than its fair share of punches.

It’s a tough watch, and it never presents easy answers, but there’s an undercurrent of hope that keeps it from ever being overly punishing and even a few moments of much-needed levity to balance out some of the bleakness.
