Let’s just say it: Duck Soup is a mess — a brilliant, chaotic, nonsensical mess that wraps its insanity around the viewer like a circus tent spun in a tornado. There’s really no way to describe this film by the Marx Brothers without admitting that it seems, at first glance, to be a complete and…
Some films have this uncanny way of reaching into the deep places of your heart without you realizing it — they draw out your own half-buried memories and present them back to you, dressed in a different story. That’s what Lady Bird feels like. From the very first scene, with the dramatic leap out of…
There’s a distinct kind of story that sneaks up on you — the kind that doesn’t just tell you about life, but makes you feel it reverberating in your bones. Past Lives is one of those films. It’s not flashy or dramatic; it doesn’t offer easy resolutions or grand gestures. What it does is far…
Few movies reach out and grip you in ways that linger long after you’ve turned off the screen. Most simply offer a fleeting escape from the mundane. Then there are films like Days of Heaven. It’s more than just a movie—it’s an experience that sweeps you away with the force of a prairie wind, depositing…
Imagine a world of dreams, secrets, and untamed ambition—where glitz and glamour mask deceit and decay.

David Fincher’s Mank is no ordinary film, nor is it just…

The documentary The Bending Arc, directed by Kief Davidson and Pedro Kos, digs deep into that very idea—showing how ordinary individuals, through sheer commitment and a belief in human dignity, can slowly, steadily tilt…
You don’t stumble upon a film like Four Daughters every day. It isn’t merely a documentary, nor is it purely a work of fiction. It’s a blend of personal testimony and reenactment, a unique approach that takes you on a deeply emotional and thought-provoking journey. But from a Christian lens, this film evokes much more…
There’s something undeniably magnetic about Knock Down the House—a documentary that’s less about politics and more about persistence, grit, and the raw power of a united community. Directed by Rachel Lears, this film centers on four remarkable women, each determined to break through the suffocating barriers of a political system they believe fails the people….
There’s something uniquely exhilarating about a film that seems simple on the surface but, the more you sit with it, reveals layers of complexity. Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India is that kind of movie. On the face of it, it’s a classic underdog sports film—villagers take on their oppressive British rulers in a…
Have you ever watched a film and found yourself not entirely sure what to make of it? Not in a “What just happened?” kind of way, but more in a “This feels like real life, and real life is complicated” sort of way. That’s the sensation I got after watching My Happy Family, a Georgian…
