Film-Forward

Emily Brontë’s gothic tale of a platonic, ghostly romance gives way to a carnal dark-pop nightmare dreamed in Technicolor.

On the surface, this is a tale of two kids on a capricious wild goose chase, but it is also something bigger: a carefully observed portrait of a people in slow-motion torment.

With its sprawling story of a fitful brotherhood at its center, Kokuho is often a film of ravishing beauty.

At the center of this black comedy stands the extraordinary performance of Ubeimar Ríos.

An invaluable and chilling picture of a propaganda machine at work in the everyday lives of those under its thumb.

Lyrical and immersive, Britni West Shyne’s documentary is a stirring portrait of the ordinary, day-to-day working lives and experiences of Black farmers in rural Georgia.

This affecting and engaging film takes on a global, rather than strictly personal, focus.

A damning indictment of the past half-century of U.S. involvement in various scandals and cover-ups that continue to this day.

Its meditative, melancholic tone continues the franchise’s tradition of attending intelligently to the human dimension as much as to the eruptions of violence and jump scares.
