The Universal Theory is one of those films that’s hard to pin down. It’s a strange mix of ideas, influences, and aesthetics that somehow manages to entertain without ever quite finding its footing. Set in the Swiss Alps in 1962, the story is centered around the possibility of a rift in reality, a tear in…
There’s something about an underdog story that gets us every time, isn’t there? We already know how it’s going to end. The small guy beats the odds, faces down the giant, and somehow triumphs at the buzzer. The thrill, though, isn’t in the outcome; it’s in the ride, the little surprises along the way that…
Jason Yu’s Sleep is a movie that doesn’t just get under your skin—it settles in your mind, nestling deep in the cracks of your thoughts and staying there long after the screen goes dark. It’s not your typical horror fare, and it doesn’t want to be. For a film that uses a cramped apartment as…
When it comes to adapting beloved books into films, most directors fall into one of two categories: those who aim to replicate the book page-for-page, and those who treat the story as a blank canvas, painting their own interpretation.

Some films aren’t meant to be consumed quickly. They linger, they simmer, and they ask something more from you as a viewer.

When discussing Battleship Potemkin, the iconic 1925 silent film directed by Sergei Eisenstein, there’s no question about its cinematic legacy.
