The story is one of insecurity, veracity, and vulnerability, a little movie with a natural sincerity that you won’t find in huge studio films.

“Paradise Hills”
Sometimes a film can be a mess story-wise but is so well made and has something so interesting to say that it would be a crime not to applaud the effort.
“Little Monsters”
Here is the irresistible, touching, big-hearted zombie comedy we’ve all been waiting for.
“Photograph”
The premise sounds like a goofy, screwball romantic comedy, but the end result is something slightly sad.
“The Death of Dick Long”
It’s not the actual cause of Dick’s death that bothered me, it’s that the film went too far by taking the dramatic route instead of playing it totally for laughs.
“The Nightingale”
There’s an effective subtext about the after-effects of a traumatic incident as well as dealing with outbursts of violence within yourself. It’s tough to watch, but it also sadly feels like essential viewing in today’s divided society.
