To describe Luca Guadagnino’s Queer as merely a film feels reductive—it’s more like a provocation in cinematic form. Adapted from William S. Burroughs’ slippery, enigmatic novella, the movie defies convention at every turn. It wants to be both a visceral experience and an intellectual exercise, challenging viewers to grapple with themes of isolation, desire, and…
Let’s not sugarcoat it—The Seed of a Sacred Fig isn’t your cozy weekend watch. It’s not something you throw on while baking Christmas cookies or half-watch with your phone in hand. It’s demanding, it’s relentless, and at three hours long, it’s a film that dares you to look away. But if you’re willing to sit…
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. Among this year’s contenders is That Christmas, a movie that tries—really tries—to be a heartwarming addition to your holiday watchlist. Directed by…
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…
Joy isn’t just a movie—it’s a quiet journey into the heart of what makes us human. It doesn’t shout to make its presence felt. Instead, it whispers truths that seep into your spirit, leaving you thoughtful long after the credits roll. This is not the kind of film that dazzles with spectacle. It’s a movie…
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. Watching it is like stepping into a kaleidoscope: fractured pieces of history, culture, and personal pain twist and turn…
The moment you step into Ernest Cole: Lost and Found, you’re met with a sense of gravity. Raoul Peck doesn’t just tell a story; he weaves an atmosphere, inviting viewers to grapple with a life that was at once deeply ordinary and extraordinary. Ernest Cole, a South African photographer who captured the raw edges of…
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…
