“Griffin in Summer”
A witty and sincere portrait of youthful ambition, first love, and the messy magic of growing up.
“Death Letter Blues”
A smart, visually rich, and beautifully crafted indie gem about grappling with the past and confronting truths we’d rather ignore.
“The Knife”
A thriller that offers a thoughtful exploration of race, class, and the blurred lines between truth and perception.
“Sketch”
Predictable and simplistic, yet the film deserves credit for tackling grief and emotional complexity in a format digestible for families and children.
