This intimate story is one of female empowerment and endurance in a cultural system that often treats females as second class citizens.
“Young. Wild. Free.”
A mostly by-the-book story of an ill-fated romance, but the vivid cinematography and chemistry between the two leads gives the film a unique, intoxicating vibe.
“Kim’s Video”
A stranger-than-fiction, mediocre documentary that provides a significant dopamine hit of video store nostalgia.
“Past Lives”
A beautifully written, deeply personal, modern romance that is an absolute stunner.
“Run Rabbit Run”
A psychological thriller that feels as if it grows bored with itself, using tired genre tropes and a skimpy story.
“Animalia”
A well-acted and beautifully constructed sci-fi film that explores faith, class prejudice, and societal constraints with a hypnotic flair.
