Pedro Páramo is not your typical ghost story—it’s an experience that feels like walking through a half-remembered nightmare. Rooted in Juan Rulfo’s novel, this adaptation captures something elusive, like whispers from a long-abandoned town that still aches with the memories of its past sins. The film isn’t loud about its themes, nor does it spoon-feed…
In No Other Land, the screen doesn’t just show us images—it immerses us in the raw, relentless reality of the people of Masafer Yatta, a Palestinian community facing destruction at every turn. Filmed with a precision that speaks to the filmmakers’ respect for their subjects, it’s not just a documentary; it’s an experience that almost…
A Gritty Take on a Familiar Story Absolution, Hans Petter Moland’s latest, comes with all the grime and grit we expect from a crime thriller, especially one set in the often shadowy, mist-draped landscape of New England. At first glance, it seems like yet another chapter in the Liam Neeson Action Era—a genre practically unto…
A Celebration of the Legend, Layered in Awe and Intrigue Music by John Williams isn’t just a documentary—it’s a love letter to a man who’s crafted the soundtrack of countless lives. This isn’t a documentary that dives into the technicalities of music or tries to unravel the “how” of Williams’ genius. Instead, it feels more…
First Impressions: A Comedy That Goes for Broke The Gutter doesn’t tiptoe around. It charges right in, a storm of jokes and gags hitting you like machine gun fire. This is a movie that wants you to be on its wavelength, to get the jokes, and to settle in for a rollercoaster of exaggerated humor….
A Cinematic Symphony on Justice and Betrayal Johan Grimonprez’s Soundtrack to a Coup d’État isn’t your average documentary. The movie feels more like a cinematic symphony, full of layers of sound and image, a whirlwind of color and rhythm, a dive into history’s depths through a kaleidoscope of sights and sounds. But there’s a pulse…
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.
