Movie Reviews
Seen a lot of movies, got a lot of opinions.
Let’s get Lily Gladstone her Oscar.

“In the Summers” - Film Review
In the Summers is as miraculous as the hazy days of nothingness that amount to everything.

“Heart Eyes” - Film Review
For those who like a little murder with their romance, let Heart Eyes be your Valentine this year.

“Suze” - Film Review
Suze is a sweet little comedy about the aches and pains of growing up, whatever age you are.

“Daughters” - Film Review
Daughters does not tell the audience what these men did that brought them to this jail, but it does look to what comes next for the fathers and the daughters and the power of programs like this one to reform the prison system.

“Not An Artist” - Film Review
Not An Artist is for all the artists out there, whether they call themselves one or not.

“Companion” - Film Review
The fun of Companion is in its unfolding and in Thatcher’s masterful understanding of a woman fighting to live for herself and no one else.

“Presence” - Film Review
Presence is not horror in the way one might expect, but it speaks to the deeply human fear of ceasing to exist.

“La cocina” - Film Review
La cocina is careening off the edge of the world at breakneck speed, not for greatness or millions of dollars, but for the simple ability to live a better life.

“Janet Planet” - Film Review
Janet Planet is for the weirdos who found more solace in art than they did with other people when they were young. For the adventures taken and missed, all in the name of growing up.

“Step Back, Doors Closing” - Film Review
Instead of stealing the Declaration of Independence, Step Back, Doors Closing is stealing hearts while wandering through the Smithsonian museums.

“Eternal You” - Film Review
Eternal You is a stark, worrisome look at what lies ahead should our lives become even more rooted in technology than they already are.

“Allswell in New York” - Film Review
We can be monumentally hurt by the people closest to us, but we can also be supported in a way unlike any other. This is the dueling reality of family, in all definitions, and the beating heart of Allswell in New York.

“Birdeater” - Film Review
It’s a story that’s been told before, but one that is executed in such a thrilling, white-knuckle way that Birdeater sets itself apart from the crowd of similarly-themed films.

“No Other Land” - Film Review
“They made us strangers in our own land.” While No Other Land doesn’t explicitly state it, the documentary has found an answer to the animosity between Palestine and Israel. That is to meet people who are unlike you.

“The Grab” - Film Review
That’s what The Grab boils down to: how do we get people to give a damn? To even ask that question highlights a disappointing reality of the state of humanity, and it’s not a new question at all.

“The Last Showgirl” - Film Review
The Last Showgirl is a showcase for Anderson and a celebration of a light still burning bright.

“The Order” - Film Review
The Order is bleak, and it should be. As a society, we must reckon with the realities of the world that have been brewing for hundreds of years.

“Queendom” - Documentary Review
Queendom is a subversive look at an artist who refuses to give up the fight.

“Sugarcane” - Film Review
Sugarcane is compassionate, yet damning, a delicate balance of genocidal exposé and a space to heal.
