The Swan
A coming-of-age tale that manages to break away from the clichés of the genre and offer something original in tone and execution.
Film-Forward
Night Comes On
A beautifully shot, powerfully performed film focusing on the lives of two young black girls.
The Night Eats the World
The premise of this zombie movie is simple: How does one survive?
Under the Tree
A dark, deadpan, satirical film in which the resentments fester slowly while the director steadily turns up the heat.
Ideal Home
A comedy that is simultaneously a throwback and of its time.
Straight into a Storm
A celebration of a decade of the music of Deer Tick and a love letter to its lead singer, John McCauley.
Hereditary
A visceral, ambitious horror film that delivers some genuine tension and chills but bites off way, way more than it can chew.
Cargo
Zombie movies, for the most part, are the least sentimental of horror films. Cargo focuses on empathy, which gives it a bit of a different flavor.
Big Fish & Begonia
The animation, full of weird mystical and just plain odd creatures, is breathtakingly colorful and full of striking images.
