Packed with timely social commentary about stereotypes and “blackness,” this sophisticated horror satire is uncomfortable, whip-smart, and a whole lot of fun.
“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.
“No Hard Feelings”
Everyone is trying so hard to turn the movie into a wacky, racy comedy that they miss the actual heart of the story.
“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.
“Mad Heidi”
A second-rate film that’s nothing more than an unfunny, fatigued gimmick.
“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.
