Superior (2021) 66% EDIT “Erin Vassilopoulos’ thrilling debut merrily plays with the film noirs of the past while spinning it into something vibrant and new.” – The Spool Jan 19, 2022 Full Review The Many Saints of Newark (2021) 72% EDIT “Whether you're a fan of The Sopranos or not, this is a solid tale of mobsters and morality.” – Film School Rejects Sep 28, 2021 Full Review Wild Indian (2021) 90% 4/5 EDIT “'Wild Indian' is a dark cinematic dance that explores the harsh effects of colonization that are still evident in modern Native communities.” – Film School Rejects Feb 3, 2021 Full Review Censor (2021) 89% 3/5 EDIT “Despite its flaws, Censor shows us that Bailey-Bond is an inquisitive filmmaker who is willing to take risks.” – Film School Rejects Feb 2, 2021 Full Review Shiva Baby (2020) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Shiva Baby confronts relevant fears that come with growing up along with the missteps that occur when trying to establish early-adulthood independence.” – JumpCut Online Oct 2, 2020 Full Review Beans (2020) 91% 5/5 EDIT “After almost a century of inaccurate representation, Beans is evidence that we have entered a Native cinema renaissance.” – JumpCut Online Oct 2, 2020 Full Review Nomadland (2020) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Chloe Zhao's 'Nomadland' is a portrait of a subculture who have chosen to escape from the unrealistic expectations of the capitalistic delusion.” – Film School Rejects Sep 16, 2020 Full Review Yes, God, Yes (2019) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “'Yes, God, Yes' feels new and specific to the character because of its commitment to sex-positivity. It is a break from today's chaotic world as it cannonballs into a time of teenage anxiety and naiveté.” – Film Daze Jul 29, 2020 Full Review Sibyl (2019) 57% 4/5 EDIT “From the beginning to end, Sibyl deals with a beautiful mess of emotions that is a direct result of asinine decision making and is a great reminder that we are all human. I mean, who can't relate to being a little messy?” – Film Daze Jul 29, 2020 Full Review The Irishman (2019) 95% 4.5/5 EDIT “The great performances and incredible filmmaking make this fictionalized tale of Frank Sheeran a story to end the decade, one that has seen many changes within the film industry - and hopefully introducing a new era of Martin Scorsese.” – Film Daze Jul 29, 2020 Full Review Tigers Are Not Afraid (2017) 97% 4.5/5 EDIT “Tigers Are Not Afraid will touch the lives of many as the shared understanding of missing women and family members is not only seen in drug-torn Mexico but across the globe.” – Film Daze Jul 29, 2020 Full Review Varda by Agnès (2019) 98% 4/5 EDIT “It is a final memo to us - a bittersweet note that is full of playful nostalgia, tender emotions, and wise advice for aspiring filmmakers and cinephiles.” – Film Daze Jul 29, 2020 Full Review Atlantics (2019) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Haunting each of its viewers in a way that can only be described as personal, Atlantics is a great start to a bright future for filmmaker Diop, as she is using the medium to tell a confident story that she knows best.” – Film Daze Jul 29, 2020 Full Review The Whistlers (2019) 83% 2/5 EDIT “Despite being pretty to look at and pleasant to listen to, the ending completely fizzles out.” – Film Daze Jul 29, 2020 Full Review Les misérables (2019) 88% 4/5 EDIT “I applaud Ladj Ly for utilizing his artistic medium in attempt to advocate for his community and I hope that Les Misérables inspires other individuals to use their voice to comment on current events with a movie camera in their hand.” – Film Daze Jul 29, 2020 Full Review Blood Quantum (2019) 90% 3.5/5 EDIT “'Blood Quantum' is a refreshing break from the same sad drama that is usually regurgitated when filmmakers, even those from an Indigenous or Native background, attempt to talk about the Indian experience.” – Film Daze Jul 29, 2020 Full Review
