Coming-of-age films, right? They’ve been done over and over again, from classics that make you weep to others that make you chuckle. But then there’s In the Summers, a film that feels like something else, something a little deeper. Directed by Alessandra Lacorazza Samudio, this is one of those rare debuts that makes you sit…
Sometimes, a movie doesn’t have to break boundaries or reinvent the wheel—it just has to deliver an entertaining escape from the grind of daily life. Wolfs—directed by Jon Watts—knows what it is and leans into that fully. It’s not trying to be the next Citizen Kane, and it doesn’t need to be. It just wants…
Eureka wants to be a lot of things. It wants to talk about the erasure of cultures, the silencing of voices, and, in its own way, the fall of humanity. But does it succeed in saying all of that? It’s a film that, from the outside, appears loaded with intention. It’s got that familiar Western…

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…

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…

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.
