“The Other Laurens (L’autre Laurens)”
There’s something very Lynchian in this artsy, deadpan, genre-blending film that makes it a worthy homage that also feels wildly original.
“The Herricanes”
With its timely conversations about the state of women’s sports and a boost of feel-good nostalgia, this unknown story about the first women’s full tackle football league in the 70s not only deserves to be told, but is a truly outstanding documentary.
“Huesera: The Bone Woman”
This body horror film is teeming with complex ideas about religion, motherhood, and autonomy, but there’s just not enough to carry it across the finish line.
“Stan Lee”
A puff piece of a documentary that’s a fitting tribute to an iconic, influential, visionary creator who brought joy to so many. A must-see for comic book fans.
“Flamin’ Hot”
An irresistible underdog story that’s funny, sweet, delightful, and as crowd-pleasing as it gets.
