‘The Echo Chamber’ Review: Luca Marinelli, Alicia Vikander and Susan Sarandon Reverberate Through a Smoky, Somber Single-Location Love Story

If you’re ever thinking of attempting a single-location film, choose that location with care. Make it high-ceilinged, light-filled, book-lined, with a reading-nook conservatory area, a gargantuan sofa, a killer sound system and space enough that you don’t even have to turn sideways to sidle past the grand piano. If possible, have it overlook a neatly […]

‘Possible Love’ Review: Korean Master Lee Chang-dong Returns With a Beautifully Mature, Quietly Colossal Relationship Drama

One of the key moments from Lee Chang-dong’s last film, 2018’s “Burning,” still glows bright in the memory.
