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.
“Seagrass”
A devastating relationship drama that exhibits a profound understanding of grief, tension, and the emotional insecurity that can undermine the foundations of a family.
