The Eyes of Ghana (2025) 94% 7/10 EDIT “The Eyes of Ghana leans heavily into the inspirational part of the story, and that’s understandable. Hesse is an inspiring figure, still fighting to preserve his country’s culture, restore film, and teach the younger generation, even in his 90s. ” – Film Threat Nov 22, 2025 Full Review Tuner (2025) 97% 8/10 EDIT “What Daniel Roher has done with well-worn forms is to use them as setups, but put them together with a twist in a way that seems fresh and exciting.” – Film Threat Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Ballad of a Small Player (2025) 48% 7/10 EDIT “Like its setting and main character, it is flawed, but fascinating, beautiful, but dark, and something you’ve never quite seen before.” – Film Threat Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Sound of Falling (2025) 95% 10/10 EDIT “Sound of Falling isn’t a popcorn movie, or something you can watch while distracted. This is cinema as pure art, and requires concentration and reflection.” – Film Threat Oct 13, 2025 Full Review Winter of the Crow (2025) 9/10 EDIT “The direction of Winter of the Crow is top-notch.” – Film Threat Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Steve (2025) 78% 8/10 EDIT “It doesn’t wrap things up in a bow, but after such a frenzy, any human connection seems like deliverance.” – Film Threat Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Fuze (2025) 83% 9/10 EDIT “The direction and editing are outstanding. Fuze is taut, propulsive, and yet characters are given exactly enough room to develop in a satisfying way, with no fat, and nothing left to cut. ” – Film Threat Sep 25, 2025 Full Review A Life Illuminated (2025) 9/10 EDIT “A Life Illuminated is an incredible film. It takes us to one of the most extreme places on Earth, it reveals previously unseen phenomena, it takes us on the journey of scientific discovery, and it is an inspiration. ” – Film Threat Sep 19, 2025 Full Review EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) 86% 10/10 EDIT “The most beautiful thing about EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert is that in connecting us so intimately to the man and showing him in all his complexity...” – Film Threat Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Cinema of Sleep (2021) 7/10 EDIT “The bottom line is that Cinema of Sleep is worth a look for being bold and inventive.” – Film Threat Apr 28, 2025 Full Review Aontas (2025) 9/10 EDIT “The overwhelming feeling one gets is that this is a wonder of construction and character revelation from the writing to the direction, editing, and acting.” – Film Threat Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Out of Plain Sight (2024) 9/10 EDIT “The strength of Out of Plain Sight is that it dramatically illustrates both the importance and process of science and journalism, at a time when both are under attack. ” – Film Threat Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Heretic (2024) 90% 7/10 EDIT “Even still, horror fans may come for the creepiness but leave with some new ideas in their head, which is something to be lauded.” – Film Threat Nov 6, 2024 Full Review The End (2024) 56% 6/10 EDIT “Still, it is unquestionably art that pushes the boundaries and will get you talking.” – Film Threat Oct 15, 2024 Full Review Universal Language (2024) 95% 8/10 EDIT “The style, set design, and photography of Universal Language are elements that sell the film as an off-kilter yet smile-inducing quixotic universe. ” – Film Threat Oct 10, 2024 Full Review The Friend (2024) 84% 7/10 EDIT “I’m just glad that somebody is making high-quality movies for adults with dogs.” – Film Threat Oct 8, 2024 Full Review The Assessment (2024) 84% 8/10 EDIT “Gets points for style, boldness, and an innovative science fiction setup.” – Film Threat Oct 7, 2024 Full Review Men of War (2024) 82% 9/10 EDIT “Men of War involves straight-to-camera confessionals, publicly available footage, text messages, secretly recorded meetings, and minor recreations into one of the most compelling docs in years. H” – Film Threat Oct 7, 2024 Full Review Saturday Night (2024) 77% 8/10 EDIT “This isn’t a lazy river; it’s a roller coaster, and one hell of a ride.” – Film Threat Oct 1, 2024 Full Review Daniela Forever (2024) 65% 7/10 EDIT “Daniela Forever is interesting and provokes discussion, but it stays just on the dream side of greatness.” – Film Threat Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Riff Raff (2024) 55% 7/10 EDIT “Despite some minor shortcomings, the film is worth seeing for the performances of Coolidge, Murray, and Harris.” – Film Threat Sep 16, 2024 Full Review First We Bombed New Mexico (2023) 8/10 EDIT “In all, First We Bombed New Mexico is an exceptional piece of documentary filmmaking that tells an important story. ” – Film Threat Mar 19, 2024 Full Review That They May Face the Rising Sun (2023) 97% 7/10 EDIT “That They May Face the Rising Sun is solid and worth your time. The acting is top-notch, and the story is compelling, but its verisimilitude is truly off the charts.” – Film Threat Mar 5, 2024 Full Review Rustin (2023) 83% 9/10 EDIT “Rustin is an important story well told, with an outstanding must-see lead performance.” – Film Threat Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Lee (2023) 68% 9/10 EDIT “Lee is beautiful, daring, and elusive, as all great art should be. ” – Film Threat Sep 25, 2023 Full Review
