If I Had an Emmy Ballot…the Best of the 2013-2014 TV Season

Film Review: Snowpiercer

It has taken me a couple of days to jot down thoughts on Bong Joon-ho‘s film Snowpiercer before typing this review, in part because the film that is such a jolt to the system that you need some time to recover. There’s so much to digest with the movie that you have to let it
