From a simple premise, writer/director Francis Galluppi wrings maximum suspense.

There is a lot to unpack and ruminate over in Jane Schoenbrun’s moody and extraordinarily layered film, where abstract ideas are made tangible.

What begins as a seemingly placid ecological fable gradually gains darker tones, culminating in a shocking, rug-pulling ending.

A lovely, touching movie that will melt the hardest of hearts.

The trinity of the cool Hollywood star, the theater kid, and the versatile indie actor lends itself to a powerful collaboration of differing styles and tensions in this love triangle.

Another potent Ken Loach-Paul Laverty collaboration.

An accidental film that is moving, maddening, multifaceted in the questions it poses, and of significant depth.

Praising director Mstyslav Chernov’s bravery is so obvious it feels impertinent, as does describing his documentary with the trite phrase “necessary viewing.”

If you really want to punish David Zaslav for shelving Coyote vs. Acme, you’ll seek out Hundreds of Beavers wherever it’s playing.
