Writer/director Janicza Bravo breaks through to the mainstream with her wildly entertaining sophomore feature, Zola. Based on a viral Twitter thread by Aziah "Zola" King (who also executive produced) and David Kushner’s piece in Rolling Stone, "Zola Tells All: The Real Story Behind the Greatest Stripper Saga Ever Tweeted,” the film takes audiences on a darkly comedic and feverish thotyssey that captures the heart of this stranger-than-fiction tale and casts quite a spell.

Logan Lucky: Flavorless Southern Fried Filmmaking

August 28, 2017 / Aaron Haughton

Hollywood hatchet man Steven Soderbergh emerges from a brief hiatus ("retirement" seems too strong a word) with the southern fried heist film Logan Lucky, which feels like a mixture of Ocean's Eleven and The Dukes Of Hazzard. The film is star-studded and packed a little too full. Mostly, it's a mildly funny satirical caricature of the south wrapped as a heist film with far too many moving parts to completely keep up with or care about.
