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.
Category: Festival Coverage
“This World is Not My Own”
An unconventional, eccentric, hybrid documentary that’s as inventive as its subject.
“John Wick: Chapter 4”
A film that over promises yet over delivers for action fans. It’s inventive, violent, exciting, and exhilarating, with impeccably choreographed stunts and fights that provide a hefty dose of pure adrenaline.
“Polite Society”
A unique and energetic action comedy that’s an original, goofy, and quirky story of female empowerment and sisterhood.
“Appendage”
There’s a clever premise at the core of this psychological body horror film, but more thought is put into the concept and message versus the entertainment factor.
“Black Barbie: A Documentary”
This imperfect documentary tackles far too much, but the overall message of the importance of representation and the strength and power of black women is one that is deeply meaningful and inspiring.
