My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night (2015)

Ana Lily Amirpour’s take on the vampire.   It’s a crime film, it’s a love story, it’s coolness seemingly inspired by Jarmusch.  A young man trying to help his father get off drugs gets involved with a young woman who stalks the night.  It has some slow parts but this is a very satisfying film.  The black and white photography looks great and the performances are all excellent.  Grade: A-
