Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, a Journey, a Song
A music documentary that succeeds in being quite a few things at once: a biography/appreciation and an examination of a now ubiquitous song.
Film-Forward
Flux Gourmet
Saying that this is Peter Strickland’s most accessible film to date, which it is, in no way means that it is accessible.
Brian and Charles
An odd, very dry British comedy, takes a while to rev up.
Luzifer
An immersion into an almost hermetically sealed world that is so detailed and uncomfortable that parts of it feel like a documentary.
We’re All Going to the World’s Fair
What happens when the comfort of an online relationship turns cold.
Zero F**** Given
A piercing portrayal of the numbness that grieving perpetuates.
You Are Not My Mother
Kate Dolan’s ability to create maximum tension with a minimal budget and scant practical effects marks her as a director to watch.
Bloody Oranges
Not an easy film to watch, this dark satire is challenging, violent, gruesome, and maybe even necessary.
After Yang
A rare genre film that doesn’t rely on gimmicks, special effects and, frankly, audience expectations.
