Paul Schrader’s Oh, Canada doesn’t ask for your approval. It doesn’t beckon you into its world with open arms or glossy promises of escapism. Instead, it stares you down, weathered and unapologetic, daring you to grapple with its themes. This is Schrader at his most pared-back, vulnerable, and personal. And while the film is imperfect…
Some movies don’t strive to revolutionize cinema. They don’t swing for the fences with groundbreaking storytelling or experimental visuals. Instead, they aim for the heart, relying on raw sincerity and universal truths. Unstoppable is one of those films.

Every so often, a film comes along that lingers. Not like a cheerful aftertaste, but like a faint echo you can’t quite shake. Sujo is one of those films.

In the realm of sports documentaries, the air can feel a bit crowded these days. From biopics of legendary players to deep dives into unforgettable seasons, the sheer volume of content can blur into a single, fast-paced montage. Yet, every now and then, one film stands out—not because it shouts the loudest or dazzles the…
Movies about life’s growing pains often fall into two categories: the overly saccharine crowd-pleasers or the brooding, introspective think-pieces. But every now and then, a film strikes a rare balance, tapping into the everyday chaos of being human with humor and heart.
