I like being surprised by a film, and this one did so effectively and often, subverting expectations at almost every turn.
“The Uninvited”
A nuanced film that’s filled with subtle metaphors about aging, womanhood, impossible beauty standards, and the entertainment industry.
“Brandy Hellville & the Cult of Fast Fashion”
A damning exposé of the dark, toxic underbelly of the clothing industry, told through the controversial Brandy Melville fashion brand.
“We’re All Gonna Die”
A clever, inventive, low-budget film that defies expectations with its highly creative storytelling, imaginative use of limited resources, and surprisingly heartfelt narrative.
“Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire”
With each movie that’s churned out, it’s becoming more and more obvious that there’s only so much you can do with this world.
“Backspot”
While the story may not be particularly original, the film’s strength lies in its authentic portrayal of teenage life and the complexities of relationships both on and off the mat.
