Rough around the edges and uneven in spots, this modest Western stumbles with its pacing and humor, but its easygoing charm and genuine heart make it enjoyable enough.
“Black Zombie”
A fascinating look at the Haitian Revolution that completely reframes the zombie myth, turning horror history into an act of reclamation.
“How to Live on Earth”
It’s a bit dry, but I’ll take this kind of optimism over another two hours of climate catastrophe any day.
“A Good Little Soldier”
Bleak, biting, and darkly funny, the film turns workplace cynicism into an all-too-familiar joke, as those trying to humanize work may be trapped in the very machine they’re meant to fix.
“The Oldest Person in the World”
A decent (and occasionally beautiful) film that would have benefited from trusting its elderly subjects a little more.
“Coyote vs. Acme”
It gets the Looney Tunes tone just right, balancing rapid-fire comedy with a live action world that feels natural and fun.
