    Review: David Cross, Julia Stiles, America Ferrera and More Charm in Todd Berger's Satisfying Apocalyptic Couples Drama 'It's a Disaster'

    by Emma Bernstein on June 20, 2012

    Whether you are separating from your spouse or a child of parents who decide to split, divorce is a complex, sorrowful, bewildering event.

    L.A. Film Fest Review: 'Sister' Is A Beautifully Bleak Coming Of Age Story

    by Emma Bernstein on June 20, 2012

    L.A. Film Fest Review: 'Girls' Star Alex Karpovsky's 'Red Flag' Is A Hilarious Meta Dark Comedy That Showcases Some Promising Talent

    by Katie Walsh on June 20, 2012

    Watching “Red Flag” at a film festival is a delightfully meta affair. In fact, the whole film is delightfully meta, a darkly funny autobiographical road movie from "Girls" and "Tiny Furniture" star Alex Karpovsky. Yes, he's not just one of Dunham's boys on the hit HBO show, he's also a promising fil...

    L.A. Film Fest Review: 'Gayby' Is A Slightly Amusing Little Comedy About...You Guessed It, Babymaking With Your Best Gay

    by Katie Walsh on June 19, 2012
