I S A Reviews The Glass Castle, with Gary Goldstein
Something clearly was lost in translation adapting “The Glass Castle” Sometimes sprawling novels covering decades of time are too gargantuan to be contained in a two-hour film.

I S A Reviews: the Jennifer Lawrence Starrer, Mother!
“Mother!” is too much allegory and not enough story.Director Darren Aronofsky has a great track record making dark character studies (“The Wrestler”, “Black Swan”), but the characters populating his latest film are more symbolic than human.
