And wouldn’t it be pretty cold and dark on an evening at that time of year? – David Kapac and Andrija Mardešić’s The Uncle is one of those films that’s fun to watch because you can pick up things that are a bit off, and in the mad-cap dash that is The Uncle’s 1h 44 minutes, there is certainly a lot to pick up on.Read More »
