A heartbreaking yet empowering film about reclaiming your roots and your true self in a world that would rather ignore your existence.

“One Night With Adela”
A disturbing, violent, and furious tale of revenge-fueled rampage that will stay with you for a long, long time.
“The Line”
A tired, clichéd coming-of-age movie about college boys behaving very badly, this exercise in toxic masculinity tries too hard to find thought-provoking things to say about the importance about tradition, social status, and moral ambiguity.
“Chasing Chasing Amy”
This documentary about the personal impact of Kevin Smith’s problematic LGBTQ+ film “Chasing Amy” is a love story about a movie, but also one about learning to love yourself.
“Trader”
An incendiary, provocative, and disturbing psychological thriller about the seductive nature of quick cash and the willingness to bury your own morality to get it.
“Playland”
I’m in awe of the concept of the film and its interesting style and subject matter, but this experimental queer historical fantasy isn’t something that is fun to watch, and it’s certainly not a film I ever want to see again.
