Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy have eight reviews for you to kick off the final month of 2022. They begin with an author recalling his activist patriarch (Memories Of My Father) and Robert Downey Jr. paying tribute to the indie cinema legend that he grew up with as well (Sr.) The director of Jakob’s Wife is back with a twisted serial killer trip (A Wounded Fawn) and there is a new adaptation of the infamous D.H. Lawrence novel (Lady Chatterley’s Lover). Can Will Smith find an audience on Apple+ with an Antoine Fuqua slave drama (Emancipation) and will Tilda Swinton find answers from the past as mother and daughter in a ghost story from Joanna Hogg (The Eternal Daughter). Noah Baumbach attempts to film the unfilmable Don DeLillo novel (White Noise) and the director of the Dead Snow movies tries to thrust Santa Claus into the Die Hard universe (Violent Night)
