A Return

After taking a few months away from this endeavor, we are back with a new lineup of film reviews, philosophical discussions, in-depth analysis of movies and more.

At the same time, we have launched a brand new YouTube channel for Perligo Review, with new videos starting this week. So, make sure to subscribe over there if you enjoy our video content.

The break was necessary to get everything ready for this new launch, but now that it is over, we do not anticipate taking another one and look forward to sharing new articles and videos with you several times a week.

Thank you for all your continued support and we are excited for what’s next.


Coming Next…

Looking ahead to June, I will be continuing with weekly film reviews and some new video essays, diving deeper into the themes and concepts of certain films.

From This Month

Michael Fassbender as George Woodhouse in Black Bag, a film by Steven Soderbergh.

“Black Bag” Struggles from Amoral Rationality

When rationality is worshiped on its own in an amoral mind and culture, cold hard reason can send a person spiraling through a world of endless possibility—endless choice.

Soldiers crouch to deliver covering fire in a shot from Alex Garland's Warfare, starring Will Poulter, Kit Conner, Finn Bennett, Joseph Quinn.

The Necessary Brutality of “Warfare”

This film, which came out towards the beginning of the year, depicts a harrowing day of combat in the midst of the Iraq war. While far from perfect, it did succeed in violently thrusting one into the horrors of war.

Ralph Fiennes stars in Edward Berger's film Conclave, distributed by Focus Features.

Shallow Platitudes Disguised As High Art

The movie Conclave is, whether intentionally or unintentionally, an artistically-constructed piece of liberal DEI propaganda disguised as an accurate representation of modern issues in the Catholic Church.
