Beyond the Gaze: Jule Campbell's Swimsuit Issue (2024) 100% EDIT “In 1964, Jule Campbell took a throwaway assignment [and] turned it into [Sports Illustrated's] most popular and profitable issue...And Jule Campbell did this in an era when publishing, and especially sports, was almost exclusively the domain of white men.” – AWFJ.org Jul 9, 2025 Full Review Deaf President Now! (2025) 100% 3.5 out of 4 stars EDIT “The powerful documentary DEAF PRESIDENT NOW tells the story of that game-changing eight-day protest, which took place before the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act and did so much to change how other people saw Deaf people. It marked a major..” – We Are Movie Geeks Jun 17, 2025 Full Review Chile '76 (2022) 91% EDIT “An impressive debut by a actor-turned-director Manuela Martelli, Chile ’76 is a chilling, powerful political thriller as a woman’s view of the world around her is shaken to its foundations in the film’s devastating conclusion.” – AWFJ.org Jun 11, 2025 Full Review We Were Dangerous (2024) 97% 3.5 out of 4 EDIT “New Zealand director Josephine Stewart-Te Whiu's satiric WE WERE DANGEROUS is surprising - entertaining, funny yet terrifying, as these three independent girls resist the institution's efforts to break their spirits...” – We Are Movie Geeks May 11, 2025 Full Review The Trouble with Jessica (2023) 60% 2.5 out of 4 EDIT “The British dark comedy THE TROUBLE WITH JESSICA has trouble for all, in a satirical tale where a dinner party between old friends goes so very, very wrong. Director Matt Winn's dark tale features a starry British cast, with Rufus Sewell, Shirley Hende” – We Are Movie Geeks Apr 26, 2025 Full Review The Legend of Ochi (2025) 75% 3 out of 4 EDIT “THE LEGEND OF OCHI is an oddball film, with one foot in the real and one in myth, and packed with symbolism but grounded in human feelings and relationships. It is visually stunning, due to location shooting in Romania, and it is impressively inventive.. ” – We Are Movie Geeks Apr 26, 2025 Full Review Lee (2023) 68% EDIT “You may not recognize her name, but you have certainly seen some of her post-war photos, among the most iconic images of concentration camps. Now Lee Miller is recognized as one of the greatest war correspondents of our time...” – St. Louis Jewish Light Oct 3, 2024 Full Review White Bird (2023) 76% 3/4 EDIT “As the tense story of the Jewish girl hidden in the barn unfolds, director Forster skillfully weaves in a message of hope and human empowerment into this sensitively-told wartime drama” – We Are Movie Geeks Oct 3, 2024 Full Review Back to Black (2024) 35% 2/4 EDIT “...the documentary is the much better film, and you will learn much more about the talented but self-destruction Amy Winehouse from it than this biopic. BACK TO BLACK often assumes the audience knows things about Amy Winehouse...that they may not. ” – We Are Movie Geeks May 24, 2024 Full Review The Thief Collector (2022) 91% EDIT “Allison Otto's entertaining THE THIEF COLLECTOR is one of those truth-stranger-than-fiction kind of documentaries, about a world-traveling but ordinary-seeming couple, Rita and Jerry Alter, with a secret life. ” – AWFJ.org May 22, 2023 Full Review Causeway (2022) 84% 3/4 EDIT “Jennifer Lawrence gives a heart-rending performance as a wounded Afghan war veteran healing from injuries, obvious and not. CAUSEWAY...has a contemplative pace but it is a fine showcase for Jennifer Lawrence...reminding us how very talented she is.” – We Are Movie Geeks Nov 15, 2022 Full Review The Forgiven (2021) 68% 2/4 EDIT “There are plenty of squirm-worthy moments...of neo-colonial privilege...[b]ut there is...redemption in its later half...contrasting the wild life of privilege of the rich partiers against the struggle to simply live of the people whose land it truly is.” – We Are Movie Geeks Nov 3, 2022 Full Review Social Animals (2018) 64% EDIT “Writer/director Theresa Bennett's debut feature film Social Animals is a light, quirky comedy about modern romance, Austin, TX style.” – AWFJ.org Oct 14, 2022 Full Review Women Talking (2022) 90% EDIT “In Sarah Polley’s searing ensemble, Mennonite women are talking and what they're talking grips us from the start: whether to forgive men. For what, we don’t know at first but it is gradually revealed as something most would find unforgivable.” – AWFJ.org Sep 20, 2022 Full Review Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down (2022) 100% 3/4 EDIT “Gabby Giffords certainly won't back down, as directors Julie Cohen and Betsy West show us in this uplifting, even joyful documentary. With interviewees including President Barack Obama, Julie Cohen and Betsy West take us on an inspiring, hopeful journey.” – We Are Movie Geeks Aug 12, 2022 Full Review Mr. Malcolm's List (2022) 83% 2.5/4 EDIT “MR. MALCOLM'S LIST is a Regency romance following "Bridgerton's" lead with the color-blind casting but without the anachronisms, for a romantic romp with an attractive cast in a story that blends elements of Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" and "Emma." ” – We Are Movie Geeks Jul 22, 2022 Full Review Elvis (2022) 77% 3.5/4 EDIT “Luhrmann's ELVIS is less a straight-forward admiring biopic than a magical fairy-tale built around the complicated relationship between the singer and his shady manager.” – We Are Movie Geeks Jun 22, 2022 Full Review Munich: The Edge of War (2021) 83% EDIT “[What if ... Chamberlain knew about Hitler's true ... plans [before the 1938 Munich Agreement]? That is the "what-if" premise of Munich: The Edge of War, a smart, entertaining and well-researched mix of history and ticking-clock spy thriller.” – St. Louis Jewish Light Jan 21, 2022 Full Review Stop-Zemlia (2021) 94% EDIT “The Ukrainian high school students in Kateryna Gornostai's STOP-ZEMLIA seem like teenagers anywhere in many ways, and yet they don't...” – AWFJ.org Jan 19, 2022 Full Review Who You Think I Am (2019) 88% EDIT “The tale unfolds as she tells it to a psychologist, and is filled with unexpected twists, and commentary on toxic obsession with youth.” – AWFJ.org Jan 11, 2022 Full Review Rebel Hearts (2021) 90% EDIT “Told through the voices of the women themselves, director Pedro Kos uses a creative mix of interviews, animation, archival footage combined with old newspaper articles to create an entertaining, lively and unforgettable film.” – AWFJ.org Jan 11, 2022 Full Review When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit (2019) 81% EDIT “The drama, well-acted and filled both dramatic tension and familial warmth, follows the family's journey as refugees wandering through Europe...” – AWFJ.org Jan 11, 2022 Full Review Tove (2020) 93% EDIT “Tove, Finland's official Oscar entry, captures the drama and charm of Tove Jansson, who captures our hearts.” – AWFJ.org Jan 10, 2022 Full Review Us Kids (2020) 87% EDIT “In this hopeful documentary about the power of the young and of grassroots action, the "kids" are never deterred...” – AWFJ.org Dec 2, 2021 Full Review On the Rocks (2020) 87% EDIT “Director Sophia Coppola teams again with Bill Murray for a sweet, dryly funny film...” – AWFJ.org Dec 2, 2021 Full Review
