A beautifully crafted world inhabited by a talented cast, but falls short of delivering anything particularly meaningful or memorable.

“My Fathers’ Daughter”
While it doesn’t break new ground, the film offers a heartfelt look at identity, family, and the search for one’s place in the world.
“The Substance”
Ambitious, grotesque, and undeniably provocative, the film is also maddeningly indulgent in a way that leads to self-sabotage.
“Les Courageux (The Courageous)”
A poignant, introspective story of a family’s survival despite the weight of the past.
“Vice Is Broke”
A briskly paced, well-crafted, chaotically comprehensive documentary for those interested in the history of digital journalism.
“Heretic”
While the ending isn’t satisfying, the substantive themes make this a fresh and intellectually stimulating horror film that attempts to go beyond the conventional.
