It’s that time of year again. You know, the season when the air smells like cinnamon, the radio won’t stop blasting carols, and streaming platforms overflow with Christmas movies vying for your attention.

Some films grip you with their polish—slick editing, a rhythmic pace, a tidy conclusion. Others are more jagged, their edges raw enough to catch on your thoughts long after the credits have rolled. Lucy Lawless’s debut documentary, Never Look Away, falls into the latter category. It’s not a film that wants to entertain you, at…
There’s something oddly comforting about sitting down for an animated film. You know you’re in for a visual feast, some humor, maybe a tear or two if the story hits right. Vicky Jenson’s Spellbound has all these elements, yet it reaches beyond its expected framework, attempting to be something more—a tale that balances dazzling spectacle…
Sabbath is supposed to mean peace. Rest. A retreat from chaos and noise, a way to center yourself in something larger. But Marc DuBowski’s Sabbath Queen takes the idea of Sabbath and flips it on its head. Peace? No, this film isn’t about peace. It’s about friction. Not the kind that tears things apart, but…
It’s not every day that a documentary comes along and invites you to reexamine a word as loaded as “witch.” Sophie Sankey’s Witches is that kind of film—sharp, personal, messy, and intentionally hard to pin down.

Hong Sang-soo’s A Traveler’s Needs doesn’t shout. It doesn’t even speak loudly. Instead, it murmurs—a soft, enigmatic song drifting through a summer haze. If cinema often feels like a cacophony of sound and fury, this film is a lull in the storm. It whispers instead of demanding, and in that quiet space, it leaves room…
Some films grab you with their noise and spectacle, shaking your senses with every twist and turn. Flow does the exact opposite. It draws you in with silence, speaks to you without words, and leaves you feeling as though you’ve witnessed something sacred.

There’s something undeniably engaging about The Black Sea. Maybe it’s Harden’s effortless charm, the kind of magnetic presence that can hold a film together even when the story drifts into familiar territory. Or maybe it’s the interplay of anxiety and humor, a buoyant mix that keeps things light even when tensions bubble beneath the surface….
Afghanistan, under the grip of the Taliban, is a land haunted by the weight of oppression and loss. But Bread and Roses—a documentary directed by Sahra Mani and produced in part by Jennifer Lawrence—cuts through the shadows like a defiant cry. It’s raw, painful, and absolutely essential.
