“The Critic”—a film set in 1930s London—is one of those period dramas that catches you off guard. It pulls you into its dark, twisted world with a kind of hypnotic allure, leaving you both intrigued and uneasy by the time the credits roll. As Christians, we approach films like this with a unique lens, looking…
When you first hear about Rebel Ridge, you might think it’s just another action-packed, shoot-‘em-up thriller with a few explosions and some quick-fix justice thrown in for good measure. But it’s not. The film is like a Trojan horse—wrapped in an exhilarating exterior but stuffed with more thought-provoking questions than you’d expect. Jeremy Saulnier has…
It’s not every day that a film like The Mother of All Lies comes along, a documentary that takes the idea of memory and history and holds it up to the light in such an intimate, almost unsettling way. Director Asmae El Moudir doesn’t spoon-feed her audience; she challenges us to wade through fragmented family…

The tension you feel watching The Goldman Case is palpable. It’s not a movie that offers easy answers or even a comforting narrative arc, but rather a slow, meticulous dive into the moral and political complexities of a famous trial.

Red Rooms isn’t just a film; it’s more like an experience that leaves you in a space where you’re forced to confront things you don’t necessarily want to.

Procession isn’t your typical documentary. It’s not the kind that tugs at your heartstrings with soft music or tries to force an emotional reaction. Instead, it moves through a quiet intensity, telling the stories of six men who were abused by Catholic priests during their childhood. But this isn’t a straightforward recount of trauma. What…
Not something you watch passively, Haile Gerima’s Sankofa is a film.
