A Quiet Triumph in Indie Filmmaking In a world that often demands grand gestures and epic narratives, I Like Movies stands out not for its ambition to dazzle, but for its quiet sincerity. Chandler Levack’s debut feature is a far cry from the typical teen comedies that dominated the 2000s, a genre often populated with…
More Than a Fan Film: Sav Rodgers’ Journey into Identity and Belonging Chasing Chasing Amy is not your typical documentary. On the surface, it’s a tribute to Kevin Smith’s 1997 film Chasing Amy, a cult classic that somehow, despite its flaws and quirks, found a place in LGBTQ+ circles. But Rodgers’ film goes beyond fan…
Reflections on The Graduates: A Film About Grief, Memory, and Quiet Moments In a world that often rushes us past loss and asks us to mask our sorrow, The Graduates does something remarkable: it slows everything down, encourages a deeper look, and gives us room to sit with what hurts. Directed by Hannah Peterson, this…
Hard TimesRating: 7.5/10 Introduction: A Story of Struggle Without a Hero Hard Times, directed by Wang Bing, isn’t the kind of film you put on casually. At nearly four hours long, it’s not trying to make you comfortable or entertain you. Instead, it’s meant to make you sit with discomfort, feel every ounce of struggle…
There’s something haunting, almost sacred, about the way The Piano Lesson unfolds on screen—a reverence woven through every scene like it’s all wrapped in memory, a testament to where we come from and the people we’re bound to by blood and time. This isn’t your typical movie experience. It’s a blend of the theatrical and…
It’s always frustrating to sit through a movie that can’t seem to figure out what it wants to be. House of Spoils is exactly that. A movie that juggles genres and themes but never really commits to any of them, which, as you can imagine, leaves viewers not entirely satisfied with the experience. There’s a…
Rating: 9/10 Some films have this way of moving beyond the screen and taking root in your mind. Blink is one of those rare ones—a National Geographic gem that seems to reach deep inside you, stirring emotions you didn’t know were there and making you question what you thought you understood about life’s impermanence. To…
Imagine a time capsule cracked open, but instead of musty relics, it pours out notes, harmonies, and soul-shaking crescendos. Amazing Grace is that film, the one that pulls you back to 1972 and plants you in a small church in Los Angeles, heart racing, eyes wide, hands gripping the pew in front of you. It’s…
Martin Scorsese’s Mean Streets—what can be said that hasn’t already been spilled across decades of reviews, essays, and retrospectives? It’s not your typical gangster flick, and that’s putting it lightly. No glamorous mafioso sitting on a leather chair pontificating over loyalty and honor. No guns blazing in some operatic, slow-motion ballet. This is something messier,…
Let’s time-travel back to 1964, where the world was shifting, not just politically or culturally, but musically too. In the midst of Cold War tensions and social revolutions, four mop-topped lads from Liverpool landed in America, and the world went wild. The Beatles didn’t just change the charts—they changed everything. But this isn’t about the…
