“Let the Canary Sing”
A straightforward documentary about the life and career of 80s pop icon Cyndi Lauper, the film is a celebration of her lasting music and a tribute to her tireless advocacy.
“Omen (Augure)”
While I didn’t love this film, I certainly appreciate what the director’s gift for mind-bending visual flair, and the hallucinatory qualities of the film perfectly complement its overall unsettling feel.
“Joy Ride”
This diverse, explicit, raucous, sex-positive movie is going to make a lot of people very, very uncomfortable, and audiences should be there for every delicious second of it.
“The Gullspång Miracle”
While it’s a fascinating story for a documentary, this complicated, twisty, turny, and frustrating film leaves the viewer with very few answers.
“All You Hear is Noise”
This documentary about three intellectually disabled athletes training for the Special Olympics loses focus with personal stories that just aren’t engaging enough.
