“Violent Night”
The anti-Hallmark yuletide classic you’ve been waiting for.
“Food and Romance”
While this foodie romance features a predictable menu and a been-there, done-that premise, audiences aren’t being served a reheated plate of lukewarm leftovers.
“Bones and All”
Despite imperfections in storytelling and execution, this macabre coming-of-age story is a lesson in life, love, and the need for human connection.
“My Policeman”
