Featuring two borderline incompetent lead performances and a script that is too far out there, this is one of the more surprising disasters of 2023.
“The (Ex)perience of Love”
This comedy-drama about complicated human relationships and sexuality has a good sense of European humor coupled with a breezy attitude, but it overstays its welcome with a too-long run time and artsy interludes that grind the storytelling to a halt.
“Knox Goes Away”
An overly-complicated, middle-of-the-road crime procedural that’s neither gripping nor thrilling.
“Alice & Jack”
Tainted by a lack of chemistry from its two leads, this romance feels toxic and doomed from the start.
“Summer Qamp”
A joyous coming-of-age of documentary that provides a community service by promoting a mutual acceptance and understanding of LGBTQ+ youth.
“El Sabor de la Navidad”
The film isn’t destined to become the next modern holiday classic, but it lends enough originality, diversity, and comforting fun to make it a worthy Christmas charmer.
