A decade ago, Inherit the Viper would have been a far-fetched drama about a family dealing with the implications of cooking meth or dealing heroin or something equally dramatic. I say far-fetched because movies about drug dealers rarely took place in small towns and with every-day folk at the centre of them. But in the shadow of the opioid epidemic, Anthony Jerjen's feature film debut isn't only believable, it's also a story that we've already heard and that could unfold anywhere.
Josh Hartnett stars as Kip, the head of the Conley clan which also includes Josie (Margarita Levieva) and younger brother Boots (Owen Teague). Kip is a veteran, a soon-to-be father, and works at the local factory and while he may think he calls the shots, Josie is the de facto head of the family. She'...

Amazon is set to open Les Misérables in limited release this week, but if you’re expecting a musical based on the Victor Hugo novel, you’ll have to look elsewhere. Directed by Ladj Ly, the film only shares a name with the popular Broadway musical. The drama tackles the issue of police brutality in France, showing that this is a super relevant issue not only in the United State but all over the world.
Based on Ly’s 2017 short film, Les Misérables is inspired by the riots that occurred in the suburbs of Paris in 2005. The story hits close to home for Ly as these riots had a long-lasting effect on his neighborhood, Montfermeil. The film follows Stephane (Damien Bonnard) who joins an anti-crime squad in Montfermeil after relocating. As he works with Chris (Alexis Manenti) and Gwada (Djebril Zonga), Stephane struggles with defusing the tense relationships between the resident gangs.

“Inherit the Viper” may be , but Anthony Jerjen’s debut feature can be compelling for how it explores the core ironies of a modern plague. This is a crisis fueled by drugs that were ostensibly designed to help people, and the three siblings at the heart of Jersen’s film — while never afforded the detail required to bleed off the screen — are constantly trying to dig themselves out of the pit their father left for them when he died; after sinking to a certain low, down can seem like the only way up. And after several years of cutting off their nose to spite their face, the surviving members of the Conley family are willing to do whatever it takes to numb the pain, which is something these small-time oxy dealers have in common with the sad rabble of local addicts whose misery funds their hope for the future. Someone...
