Wolfwalkers
The main reason to watch this is its stellar animation. Even if there were Disney films out as competition—be they 2-D or 3-D—this movie would still look refreshing by comparison.
Film-Forward
I Am Greta
When the documentary analyzes the obvious mental stress of a young girl on the international stage, it becomes insightful.
Us Kids
It documents the rage of an entire generation finally boiling to the surface.
White Noise
Racism rebranded through YouTube algorithms, podcasts, and stump speeches.
Totally Under Control
Produced in complete secrecy, this is a detailed exploration of the Covid-19 pandemic’s early months, and the Trump administration’s failed response to the crisis.
The Wolf of Snow Hollow
This movie has the locale and offbeat style of Fargo mixed with the subtext of The Shining.
Possessor: Uncut
The horror movie plays like a Black Mirror episode if the “technology gone wrong” motif shifted into something far more existential and Lovecraftian.
Ottolenghi and the Cakes of Versailles
What chef Yotam Ottolenghi gives viewers is basically prestige food porn, but one could say the court at Versailles invented that concept almost 350 years ago.
The Secrets We Keep
Its story has an obvious Hitchcockian setup, mixed with the ethical dilemmas of Dennis Villeneuve’s Prisoner.
