A bold, gutsy documentary that presents damning evidence of Russia’s probable war crimes and involvement in the downing of Flight MH17 in 2014.

“Victim/Suspect”
An artless documentary that feels overwritten and orchestrated to a fault. The topic is important and infuriating, but it’s not a particularly well-made film.
“Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves”
An irresistible fantasy adventure has a healthy dose of good humor, playful charm, and is easily accessible to all who love imaginary worlds filled with wizards, sorcerers, warlocks, knights, and fire-breathing dragons.
“Tetris”
This fun, corny espionage thriller tells the true origins of the popular TETRIS computer game by playing fast and loose with the facts.
“Self Reliance”
Much like its writer, director, and star Jake Johnson, this offbeat comedy-thriller has a disheveled, irreverent charm.
“This Closeness”
The film has its share of cringe-inducing moments, plenty of Gen Z cynicism, and leans heavily on its low budget mumblecore roots. It works fine as a festival film, but I don’t see much appeal beyond those parameters.
