The performances and ambiance are more pulsating than its predictability. “Magic Hour” runs for less than 80 minutes and wants to deal with the power of love and grief. And it should […]

Deep Water
“Thrash” and “No Way Up,” eat your hearts out. Important distinction: try not to get this “Deep Water” confused with the Ben Affleck movie of the same name. “Deep Water” is another […]
