Reviews
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Blistering performances.
