Malcolm & Marie
(2021)
|
Josie Meléndez
|
Looking beyond the critiques of the industry, art, and critics themselves, the film is very much a lovers quarrel. It is told through what feels like a boxing match with various rounds that are passive-aggressive in nature.

CODA
(2021)
|
Josie Meléndez
|
This charming coming-of-age story will most likely leave you in tears. While on the surface, it touches upon the usual topics of graduation, crushes, and social anxiety within a high school setting, the film is so much more than that.

I Was a Simple Man
(2021)
|
Josie Meléndez
|
Paradise isnt always beautiful. Theres suffering, oppression, displacement, and erasure. Sometimes its truly haunting and terrifying, but in the end, it is still a home.

Strawberry Mansion
(2021)
|
Josie Meléndez
|
The film is, simply stated, a deliciously trippy adventure. The mission of this film was to make it feel like a dream, and Birney and Audley most definitely succeeded. It will most likely become a cult classic down the line.

I Care a Lot
(2020)
|
Josie Meléndez
|
The ending will most likely be divisive due to the way it handles Pikes character. Nevertheless, I Care a Lot is a film that takes risks at all the right moments.

Shiva Baby
(2020)
|
Josie Meléndez
|
It perfectly captures desperation, loneliness, and belonging throughout every beating second. Its in the words spoken and those left unsaid, the longing stares as well as the afflicting ones, and the awkward movements intermingled with the precise ones.

In the Heights
(2021)
|
Josie Meléndez
|
It is a love letter to those that doubt their worth and belonging in spaces that often are denied to them. It holds a mirror to those that feel invisible in the eye of representation and celebrates them loud and proud.

Annette
(2021)
|
Josie Meléndez
|
Frankly, no one will be prepared for what theyre about to see. Any preconceived notion of what Annette may be must be ignored because it defies expectation and rules itself as an unpredictable journey.

Benedetta
(2021)
|
Josie Meléndez
|
Benedetta is ultimately a meaningless melodrama following the story of a woman that loses herself to her ego.

Titane
(2021)
|
Josie Meléndez
|
To put it lightly, the film often feels like a descent into hell. The film presents a story about someone that grows out of the coldest depths of their being into perhaps someone that might be worth saving. Might.

After Yang
(2021)
|
Josie Meléndez
|
A part of this film stays with you, as though nestled in a newfound home within your heart. There is truly a high possibility that nobody understands people quite as much as Kogonada.

Lamb
(2021)
|
Josie Meléndez
|
The film is vicious and ruthless while also being toned down and tame. It blends duality at an almost expert touch. Simply stated, it is a perfect addition to the A24 family.

Vivo
(2021)

Josie Meléndez
|
A decade in the making, Vivo is full of surprises. While the story itself has its twists and turns that fail to properly hold the story along the way, it hits the ground running and manages to stick the landing in the end.

Its a true slow burn that will ignite a fire in your heart ever so slowly. It will no doubt creep into your mind long after the film has ended.

As in Heaven
(2021)
|
Josie Meléndez
|
At its height, it is a challenge of turn-of-the-century thoughts. The rest follows a visual paranoia of growing up too soon with convincing performances, thought-provoking conversations, and dual expression of life, death, and pain.

Despite the dark moments the film ventures through, the ending is uplifting, similar to the likes of a long exhale. This unconventional Christmas movie will soon become a go-to for many fans of the royal familys history.

Don't Look Up
(2021)
|
Josie Meléndez
|
Unfortunately, McKay and Sirota remain shy and hide behind shallow and often silly humor. Despite this, many will very much come to enjoy and perhaps even love this film.

Eternals is driven by a love story. One between lovers, duty, and legacy. Throughout the 157-minute runtime, viewers will have their eyes glued to the screen and rediscover what it means to be excited about something original.
