Synonymes (2018) 87% A- EDIT “In a world where the struggle for identity is a universal experience, Synonyms serves as a poignant reminder that the quest for self-discovery is not a linear or painless process” – A Good Movie To Watch Oct 12, 2023 Full Review Before, Now & Then (2022) 100% A- EDIT “Andini’s narrative paints a poignant tableau, connecting the ghosts of the past that her heroine is facing in the form of guilt and trauma, to the ongoing struggles faced by women today.” – A Good Movie To Watch Oct 7, 2023 Full Review Eden (2014) 84% A EDIT “The film portrays the loneliness that can stem from pursuing a singular passion at the expense of all else.” – A Good Movie To Watch Oct 7, 2023 Full Review When You Finish Saving the World (2022) 62% EDIT “Jesse Eisenberg's directorial debut When You Finish Saving the World reminds me of Alex Ross Perry and Noah Baumbach's early work.” – The Spool Jan 25, 2022 Full Review The Humans (2021) 92% EDIT “Intentionally uncomfortable and eerie throughout, in his directorial feature debut, Karam has flexed his filmmaking muscle and makes the scariest movie of the year.” – Film Inquiry Sep 25, 2021 Full Review Bergman Island (2021) 84% EDIT “Breezy, lyrical, and often sensual, Bergman Island, at its core, is a rumination of the trials and tribulations of the female creative process and how sometimes creative impulses can shape our relationships and the way we view life and art.” – Film Inquiry Sep 25, 2021 Full Review The Power of the Dog (2021) 94% EDIT “For her first film in 12 years, Campion has made a magnificently performed and precisely controlled picture.” – The Spool Sep 16, 2021 Full Review Mothering Sunday (2021) 77% EDIT “[I]ts portrayal of how memory and past relationships shape a person makes for a compelling watch. What begins as just a period drama about forbidden love blooms beautifully into a portrait of one woman's creative birth.” – The Spool Sep 13, 2021 Full Review Zola (2020) 88% EDIT “Zola, in the end, is proof of what happens when a director deeply understands the creative lengths to which they can go to tell a story. It's far from perfect, yes, but Janicza Bravo makes something unique and alluring.” – Film Inquiry Jul 1, 2021 Full Review A Quiet Place Part II (2021) 91% EDIT “When A Quiet Place Part II works, it really works. But, overall, it fails to live up to the expectations and high standards that the first movie has established.” – Film Inquiry Jun 3, 2021 Full Review Plan B (2021) 96% EDIT “Plan B has plenty of fun and heart to offer, and while doing so, it never once treats the serious subject it addresses as a laughing matter. A winning teen comedy with star-making performances from its two leads.” – Film Inquiry May 29, 2021 Full Review Skull: The Mask (2020) 67% EDIT “Sadly, the fun doesn't last very long, as the movie abruptly shifts its focus to a more mainstream noir procedural narrative” – The Spool May 27, 2021 Full Review Language Lessons (2021) 96% EDIT “Wonderfully written and packed with heart and sensitivity, this heartwarming two-hander mumblecore celebrates the beauty of human connection in any kind of medium.” – The Spool Mar 19, 2021 Full Review Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn (2021) 91% EDIT “Equally unforgiving and brash, and at times hilarious and shocking, Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn further proves Jude as a bold, contemporary filmmaker working today quite like no one else.” – The Spool Mar 19, 2021 Full Review Drift Away (2021) 64% EDIT “Albatros tries to offer a refreshing and unglamorized take on police procedural canon but ultimately falls short when it decides to take the generic route at the second half of the movie.” – Film Inquiry Mar 17, 2021 Full Review Petite Maman (2021) 97% EDIT “Petite Maman, all in all, shows Sciamma at her most profound and mature. Grab a tissue and prepare your heart if you're going to see this.” – Film Inquiry Mar 10, 2021 Full Review Memory Box (2021) 93% EDIT “It's introspective, affecting, and an visually inventive depiction of how memory, good or bad, plays a huge part in shaping us in the present. Hadjithomas and Joreige have done it again.” – Film Inquiry Mar 6, 2021 Full Review I'm Your Man (2021) 95% EDIT “Mostly, I'm Your Man delivers what it promises at the start: a bittersweet and thought-provoking meditation on love.” – The Spool Mar 3, 2021 Full Review Dead Pigs (2018) 97% EDIT “The result is an ensemble piece that is quirky and funny as it is compelling and gritty.” – The Spool Feb 18, 2021 Full Review Together Together (2021) 90% EDIT “The dramedy is only Beckwith's second feature, but despite its familiarity, it's a pleasurable and refreshing experience. It's light and witty, often packed with laughs and touching moments, with two stellar lead performances at its heart.” – The Spool Feb 18, 2021 Full Review Land (2021) 69% EDIT “Land is an understated character study about grief and loss, and a moving celebration of human connection and resilience.” – The Spool Feb 9, 2021 Full Review On the Count of Three (2021) 85% EDIT “While this may sound bleak, On the Count of Three is actually also filled with moments that celebrate the beauty of life and human connections.” – Film Inquiry Feb 6, 2021 Full Review Censor (2021) 89% EDIT “While the movie could've been a little deeper, especially in its exploration of censorship and the relationship between art and real-life, Censor is nevertheless still a solid debut from Bailey-Bond. It's an impressive horror.” – Film Inquiry Feb 5, 2021 Full Review Malcolm & Marie (2021) 57% EDIT “Instead of trying to make solid arguments about what it wants to say at the beginning, Malcolm & Marie is too busy being angry and whiny.” – The Spool Feb 4, 2021 Full Review Wild Indian (2021) 90% EDIT “[Corbine's] vision is bold, confidently going to places that are dark and unconventional, with a masterful cinematic language often only found in the works of a seasoned filmmaker.” – The Spool Feb 4, 2021 Full Review
