“Hamlet”
There’s real ambition here, and more important, real perspective.
“Frankie, Maniac Woman”
A gritty, ambitious indie that takes direct aim at the horror genre’s long history of exploiting and mistreating women.
“Mabel”
A small, gentle coming-of-age story that isn’t flashy, but charms with its sincerity and keenly observed details.
“Jimmy and the Demons”
A lovely portrait of an artist fully committed to their craft, curious, questioning, and still finding joy in their work.
“Lesions”
In this harsh home invasion horror film, violence takes over while the emotional thread gets lost in the brutality.
