“Red One”
A chaotic, bizarre mish-mash of a holiday movie that is a head-scratching exercise in total confusion and missed potential.
“The Last Showgirl”

“Totally Killer”
The 80s retro sci-fi horror story is what I’d lovingly refer to as a slumber party movie: it’s breezy, playful, and thoroughly enjoyable.
“Wildflower”
A sweet coming-of-age story that dives into very thorny territory. The end result is mixed, making the film feel off-putting, problematic, and insincere.
