Waiting for Dalí (2023) Robin Holabird With styles of art and cuisine defined by extremes, it comes as no surprise that some of Waiting for Dalí seems exaggerated as it heads towards rom-com pleasures--familiar, restful and in this case, with likely to inspire a round of heavy drooling.

Guy Friends (2024) Robin Holabird The script probably reads quite well. Its transformation to screen includes nicely framed shots and smooth movements, providing an enjoyable tour of New York accompanied by jazz piano. But one key element suffers: comfortable acting.
