An imperfect yet admirable portrait of a fiercely independent, headstrong woman who changed the world of photojournalism during World War II. How exciting to finally have her story told on film.

“Nyad”
An inspiring true story that features one of the most authentic big screen portrayals of a complex female friendship.
“The Holdovers”
Painfully honest and sentimental, the film strikes a delicate balance of melancholy and humor. It’s like a hug for those who could really, really use one.
“Flora and Son”
Another sweet and charming win from writer / director John Carney, the master of making crowd-pleasing films for music lovers.
“The Wait (La Espera)”
A moody, masculine folk horror revenge thriller that deals with grief, guilt, class, and the darkness of human nature.
“Smugglers”
Suffers from a mediocre script, characters that aren’t engaging, and an exhausting repetitiveness that quickly wore me down. I can see how this action caper will appeal to some, it’s just not for me.
