We Bury the Dead (2024) 86% 3/5 EDIT “For each of its zombie genre innovations, We Bury the Dead is too hamstrung by its conventions, and becomes too meditative to excite. ” – Loud and Clear Reviews Dec 22, 2025 Full Review Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) 98% 3.5/5 EDIT “You won’t see better animation this year than in Little Amélie or the Character of Rain.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Night Always Comes (2025) 52% 3/5 EDIT “Thankfully the film is saved by a final twist [...]. The end product rises above most of the current Netflix drek, and deserves more than being unceremoniously dumped on the platform.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Aug 15, 2025 Full Review An Eye for an Eye (2025) 4/5 EDIT “A fascinating, complex morality tale where the viewer can’t help but see both sides in a life-or-death debate, and one of the best documentaries of the year. ” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jun 6, 2025 Full Review The Encampments (2025) 94% 3.5/5 EDIT “Peaceful protests are a foundational tenant of America, and though those in power are actively working against them today, The Encampments shows how vital and necessary they are for those who perceive injustices.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jun 3, 2025 Full Review Bad Shabbos (2024) 84% 3.5/5 EDIT “While Robbins’ film may lose points for its stale premise, I still believe the laugh factor ultimately makes it worth seeing with a crowd wherever possible.” – Loud and Clear Reviews May 19, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% 3.5/5 EDIT “Novocaine is mind-numbing fun, with a winningly committed lead turn from Jack Quaid, effective action, and a cute but simple story.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Mar 11, 2025 Full Review High Tide (2024) 100% 3/5 EDIT “Marco Calvani’s directorial debut High Tide is a three-dimensional story of love and belonging that comes from a place of sincerity. ” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Cactus Pears (2025) 97% 3.5/5 EDIT “A quietly radical piece of filmmaking, and an impressively confident feature debut.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jan 27, 2025 Full Review DJ Ahmet (2025) 92% 3.5/5 EDIT “DJ Ahmet is a sweet, if familiar, coming-of-age romance between star-crossed lovers that succeeds because of its funny but grounded quirks. ” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jan 24, 2025 Full Review 5lbs of Pressure (2024) 57% 2/5 EDIT “There’s another version of 5LBS of Pressure that’s much schlockier and more embarrassing, though there are certainly some regrettable moments, but Allocco simply skates by, doing the bare minimum necessary.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jan 1, 2025 Full Review Scrambled (2023) 94% 3/5 EDIT “Scrambled may not break new ground in the indie rom-com genre, but it shows that Leah McKendrick is a confident voice behind and in front of the camera.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jan 1, 2025 Full Review The Invisible Raptor (2024) 70% 3.5/5 EDIT “The best film of the year about an invisible dinosaur.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Dec 2, 2024 Full Review Moana 2 (2024) 60% 3/5 EDIT “Kids will surely be drawn to the film for its vibrant color palette, cute animal sidekicks, and bodily fluid humor, but it lacks the inspiration that came with the first film.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Nov 27, 2024 Full Review Sweethearts (2024) 62% 2.5/5 EDIT “Sweethearts trots out the romantic comedy tropes playbook, but Kiernan Shipka and Nico Hiraga carry those tropes with aplomb.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Nov 21, 2024 Full Review Daughters (2024) 100% 4/5 EDIT “There’s something undeniably heartwarming to see incarcerated men preparing for a father-daughter dance inside their prison, but the film manages to transcend this simple premise to talk about headier topics in contemporary America.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Aug 10, 2024 Full Review
