Provocative, challenging, and full of biting satire, this is a quality film: but it also feels like one that people will pretend to like a whole lot more than they actually do.

“The Teachers’ Lounge”
An emotionally incendiary story of accusations, paranoia, diversity, and identity, this is one pressure cooker of a film.
“Rustin”
I loved the subject matter but was left disappointed with the storytelling. Instead of watching this one, just pick up a history book.
“His Three Daughters”
A profound piece of cinema that captures a raw, authentic portrait of anticipatory grief while hitting all of its heavy emotional targets.
“Hell of a Summer”
There are a few jokey gags, but the laughs that this camp slasher film needs are nowhere to be found.
“Pain Hustlers”
The messaging is thorny, with a lighthearted, glib attitude that makes the film seem confused with its own intentions.
