“Mountains”
A reserved drama about the immigrant experience in America that tells a familiar story in a refreshing way.
“Let the Canary Sing”
A straightforward documentary about the life and career of 80s pop icon Cyndi Lauper, the film is a celebration of her lasting music and a tribute to her tireless advocacy.
“Omen (Augure)”
While I didn’t love this film, I certainly appreciate what the director’s gift for mind-bending visual flair, and the hallucinatory qualities of the film perfectly complement its overall unsettling feel.
“Joy Ride”
This diverse, explicit, raucous, sex-positive movie is going to make a lot of people very, very uncomfortable, and audiences should be there for every delicious second of it.
“The Gullspång Miracle”
While it’s a fascinating story for a documentary, this complicated, twisty, turny, and frustrating film leaves the viewer with very few answers.
