Dry, monotonous, and packed with too much information, this documentary about Filipino elections is an exhausting, unfocused look at the country’s current political climate.
Category: Festival Coverage
“Power”
An educational but not overly academic documentary that tackles the uglier side of American history when it comes to policing the country’s citizens.
“Suncoast”
A forgettable family drama that is touching and sad, but its small-scale story and cast make up for most of its glaring flaws.
“Malu”
Toxic, turbulent, loving: the film captures the little seen and seldom discussed side of dysfunctional female familial relationships.
“In the Summers”
A look at a fragmented family and a relationship between a father and his daughters that will never fully heal.
“Sebastian”
A good storyteller could get their point across without resorting to a highly sexualized gimmick that’s overdone here.
