An honest, well-rounded portrait of a woman who has constantly had to prove herself not just as an actor, but as an advocate for the Deaf community.

“The Friend”
Despite a meaningful story about the enduring power of companionship and the pain of loss, the film just can’t get a firm grasp on its desired sentiment.
“The Penguin Lessons”
A touching true story that’s anchored by Coogan’s natural charm and an unexpected but endearing animal sidekick.
“The Surrender”
Strikes the perfect tone for the kind of meaningful horror it’s going for, a mix of the supernatural and a deeply personal story about grief and family.
“Under the Burning Sun”
A raw, emotional, and visually stunning piece of feminist cinema.
“Opus”
The film wants to be a biting critique of pop culture obsession, a psychological thriller, and an eerie horror film all at once, but it never quite lands any of these elements in a satisfying way.
