Thankfully, the release ofMarrowboneconfirms that Sanchez has as much talent as a visual artist as he does a screenwriter....

Not that anyone’s complaining – the series’ first trailer drew intense buzz as fans were transfixed by the notion of transportingElizabeth Olsen’s Wanda andPaul Bettany’s Vision into the world of classic sitcoms....

And yetNews of the Worldlargely leaves all that behind, instead opting for the sweeping vistas of the Western and an uplifting message about how the communal power of stories can bring us together in divided times....

You know what’s inspiring? Watching someone find their niche in the industry not once, but twice.
