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…
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…
Some films grab you with their noise and spectacle, shaking your senses with every twist and turn. Flow does the exact opposite. It draws you in with silence, speaks to you without words, and leaves you feeling as though you’ve witnessed something sacred. For an American audience used to fast-paced action and sharp dialogue, Flow…
The Remarkable Life of Ibelin stands as one of those rare cinematic journeys that goes straight to the heart, a masterful blend of raw emotion, artful storytelling, and deep humanity. Directed by Ree, the documentary dives into the life of Mats, a man whose story of love, loss, and resilience leaves a profound impression long…
Steve McQueen’s Blitz doesn’t attempt to glamorize war or reduce it to typical Hollywood heroics. There are no all-conquering soldiers here, no mythic generals leading from the front. This is a civilian story—a heart-wrenching account of the everyman and everywoman thrown into the crucible of war. Bombs fall, cities burn, and yet these characters press…
It’s not every day you come across a film as captivating as Spirited Away. When I first watched it, I was blown away by how easily it draws you into a world so unlike anything you’ve ever seen. The story—a young girl named Chihiro being thrown into this strange, magical world where spirits, talking frogs,…
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…
When it comes to adapting beloved books into films, most directors fall into one of two categories: those who aim to replicate the book page-for-page, and those who treat the story as a blank canvas, painting their own interpretation. Chris Sanders, in bringing The Wild Robot to life, does neither—he crafts an experience that is…
There are TV shows, and then there are experiences. Undone fits into the latter category—an animated series that almost transcends the format, pulling you into a world that feels at once alien and intimately familiar. The story and the visuals fuse in a way that’s more akin to a dream than a show you’re merely…
