Let’s talk about American Factory for a minute—Steve Bognar and Julia Reichert’s brilliant, raw documentary. It’s not a film that hits you all at once, but it sits there under your skin long after you’ve watched it. It’s about jobs, factories, people, robots, and the clashing cultures of America and China. But really, it’s about…
There’s something about Strong Island that hits like a gut punch. You know the kind—one you don’t see coming, and by the time you feel it, you’re already doubled over. Yance Ford’s documentary, this deeply personal film, brings you right into the heart of his family’s pain, grief, and outrage over the loss of his…
Todd Haynes is known for diving headfirst into murky waters, and his latest film May December seems no different. It’s a wild ride of conflicting emotions and moral dilemmas, filled with sharp writing and even sharper performances. But as a Christian, watching this film brings up a mix of feelings, from discomfort to fascination. Let’s…
An Oddly Twisted Experience When you sit down to watch The Front Room, you’re in for a ride, though I’m not entirely sure it’s one you’ll be eager to take again.

Rating: 6/10 A Western That’s Cold as Ice and Tough as Nails So here’s the thing about The Thicket: if you’re into that gritty, brutal, take-no-prisoners vibe in your Westerns, this movie will probably draw you in like a moth to a flame.

When you sit down to watch My Old Ass, you might think you’re in for a simple story about the awkward and messy nature of growing up. But then it hits you—it’s not just about growing up, it’s about growing out of the person you thought you were, or maybe never were at all. It’s…
If you want to see what friendship looks like when it’s put through the wringer—when it’s stretched, twisted, and transformed, all while somehow holding its shape—Will & Harper offers a soft, sincere glimpse into that reality. On its surface, the film presents a simple story of two friends reconnecting, Will and Harper, whose relationship has…
At first glance, Errol Morris’ Wormwood doesn’t feel like a typical documentary. It’s not a straightforward recounting of historical events but more like a slow dance with mystery, deception, and grief. The story of Frank Olson, a U.S. government scientist who died under strange and suspicious circumstances in 1953, doesn’t lend itself easily to any…
Sometimes a show sneaks up on you. BoJack Horseman is one of those. You start watching, maybe expecting some light humor, a little satire, some talking animals riffing on the absurdities of Hollywood. But what you get is something far deeper, something that leaves you unsettled, amused, and occasionally gutted, all at once. The show’s…
There’s something about The Midnight Gospel that feels, at first glance, utterly chaotic. You’re dropped into a world of swirling colors, bizarre creatures, and a mash-up of deep philosophical musings mixed with surreal, often grotesque, visuals. You blink. You blink again. Then you ask yourself, “What in the world is happening?” As a Christian viewer,…
