Henry Selick’s long-gestating follow-up project to the acclaimed Coraline (2009), his first and only directorial effort with Laika Studios before departing over contractual negotiations, was ostensibly accepted as a permanent resident of development hell.

Tiff 2022: THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN Review

0
0

It would be difficult to conjure a clearer picture of the suspect and scattered intentionality woven through Anna Kendrick’s directorial debut, a true-crime thriller ripped from the bloodsoaked headlines that takes aim at the pivotal role misogyny plays in framing the genres
