“Black Barbie: A Documentary”
This imperfect documentary tackles far too much, but the overall message of the importance of representation and the strength and power of black women is one that is deeply meaningful and inspiring.
“Join or Die”
An interesting study in social science, this documentary is so convincing that you’ll be signing up for your local bowling league soon after the credits roll.
“Theater Camp”
A funny mumblecore style film with a sweet message that has the potential to become a bonafide cult classic among theater kids.
“Peak Season”
While it doesn’t reach any new or thrilling heights, this authentic story of friendship is simple, relatable, and features authentic characters that elicit real emotion from viewers.
“Pure O”
This true story of a man diagnosed with OCD may be personally important to the filmmaker, but it certainly isn’t enjoyable to watch.
