When we talk about history, we like to think of it as something fixed and set in stone, something immutable that you can read about in a book, then put back on the shelf and never think about again. But Margaret Brown’s Descendant shatters that illusion, making it painfully clear that history isn’t a neatly…
The movie’s title is a bit of a mouthful, I’ll give you that. “The Body Remembers When The World Broke Open.” But don’t be fooled. It’s not some bloated art-house indulgence dripping in pretension. It’s more like a quiet punch to the gut that you feel long after the credits roll—a film that speaks softly…
Ever had something ripped from your hands—something you didn’t just want to create but had to, a piece of your soul you slaved over, only to see it slip into someone else’s grasp and vanish? That’s the nightmare Shirkers drops you into. It’s a documentary by Sandi Tan, a director who lost her own film,…
Let’s talk about Time Out (originally titled L’Emploi du Temps). If you’re expecting a fast-paced thriller or a neatly packaged drama, you won’t find it here. This is one of those rare films that sneaks up on you, unsettling you in ways you can’t quite put into words. Laurent Cantet directs, but it’s Aurélien Recoing’s…
Death. There’s no topic more sobering, no reality more unavoidable. It’s the shared destination we all reach someday. But what if we could face it with a smile—or at least with a wry grin? That’s what Kirsten Johnson’s documentary, Dick Johnson Is Dead, tries to do. It’s not your typical film about death. It’s a…
Joker: Folie à Deux isn’t your run-of-the-mill superhero flick. No capes, no cosmic battles, no easy morality. In fact, it’s hard to even call it a superhero movie at all. The same can be said of the first Joker—which this film builds upon, but not in a way fans might expect. Instead of delivering another…
I didn’t know what to expect when I first heard about Frankie Freako. If you told me I’d be watching an ’80s-inspired creature feature filled with chaotic, absurd antics, I might have raised an eyebrow. But here we are. In all its unapologetic weirdness, Frankie Freako brings to the screen a nostalgic throwback to films…
I recently watched Errol Morris’s documentary Separated, and I have to tell you, it was not an easy experience. This film doesn’t just ask for your attention—it demands it. It forces you to sit in the uncomfortable reality of what has been done to some of the most vulnerable people in the name of political…
I watched Look Back recently, and it left a pretty deep impression on me. It’s one of those films that you sit with for a while afterward, processing not just what it’s saying, but how it says it. It’s a short, beautifully animated story that feels like a meditation on art, creativity, and loss. You…
Quentin Dupieux’s Daaaaaali! is something else. Imagine a film that doesn’t want you to overthink things but instead nudges you toward laughter and absurdity, all while parading the chaotic brilliance of Salvador Dalí, but without ever fully “capturing” him. Because really, how do you capture Dalí? He’s more like a feeling, an idea—a wild, surreal…
