The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
(1982)
|
Jessica Baxter
|
There are, of course, some Hot Probs, but Dolly ain't one. Our National Treasure holds the floor, and even sneaks in her own song to round out the catchy soundtrack.

May December
(2023)
|
Jessica Baxter
|
This movie is serving THEMES. Why does Hollywood love to look for the humanity in bad people? Can a person truly live a life without regret?

Bottoms
(2023)
|
Jessica Baxter
|
It’s a smart comedy disguised as a stupid one, with a thousand jokes landing per minute and some of the *tightest* mise en scène we’ve ever scène. But even if it were just a stupid comedy, guys make those all the time. That’s the point of feminism.

The Assistant

The Assistant is also relatable anyone who has ever had a job description vague enough to become the office task dumpster...

When Today Ends
(2021)
|
Jessica Baxter
|
Leoni's narrative feature debut is a powerful missive on a far-too-invisible mental health crisis.

Here Alone
(2016)
|
Jessica Baxter
|
A riveting film with home-hitting elements like the initial uncertainly surrounding how bad things would get with the "virus", the prevalence of masks, and how quickly one can get used to being alone, despite the mental unhealthiness of isolation.

Transference: A Love Story
(2020)
|
Jessica Baxter
|
Transference is a difficult watch, but those who seek veracity in their romantic dramas, or wish to study a cautionary tale for therapeutic purposes, will find the film riveting and perhaps even refreshing.

This Is Not a War Story

|
Jessica Baxter

This is Not a War Story brings us the horrors of war without having to see the war itself.

Clay's Redemption
(2020)
|
Jessica Baxter
|
Clay's Redemption isn't an instant classic, but it's a good showcase for the talents of many involved. If you enjoy cool fight choreography in visually arresting locales, there's something for you here.

Busman's Holiday
(2020)
|
Jessica Baxter
|
Shot on location before the world shut down, Busman's Holiday offers a rare glimpse at some of the world's most beautiful and remote places. It's filmed like a travelogue with postcard-perfect cinematography.

The Ringmaster
(2019)
|
Jessica Baxter
|
[A] film about obsession, selfishness, capitalist blinders, and addiction that will stick with you for a lot longer than would have a 30-minute show about onions rings.

Flytrap
(2015)
|
Jessica Baxter
|
Brooks doesn't do much to develop his characters but the 80-minute film is heavy on plot and James' captors are strange and sinister enough to hold one's attention.

Baby Frankenstein
(2018)
|
Jessica Baxter
|
A very old school Nickelodeon/Disney-style affair with a group of unknown actors committing whole hog to a flimsy story that is nonetheless a fun way to spend a rainy afternoon.

Toss It
(2019)
|
Jessica Baxter
|
There is a definitely an audience for this film, and I hope they find it. But I had a hard time getting past the heteronormative, white, upper class perspective...

Spencer McCall presents In Bright Axiom as a documentary, but it never feels truly real.

Union
(2018)
|
Jessica Baxter

Overall, Union is a valuable addition to the underrepresented genre of LGBTQIA+ historical cinema.

Night Sweats
(2019)
|
Jessica Baxter
|
Despite these issues, a discernible micro-budget, and a poorly-realized degenerative brain ailment, the film could have worked were it not for the big reveal...

Buck Run
(2019)
|
Jessica Baxter

Buck Run would have worked better as a short. But as it stands, the cinematography and performances carry the film and it's worth a look.

Frustration was my prevailing emotion throughout the seemingly interminable 78-minute run-time.
