“The Life of Chuck”
A deeply moving film about the fleeting nature of life and the importance of embracing every moment.
“Gonzo Girl”
A kaleidoscopic descent into the drug-soaked world of gonzo journalism, nostalgia, and toxic masculinity.
“A Useful Ghost”
This very funny dark comedy filters love, tragedy, and a sharp critique of industrial exploitation through a story about a haunted vacuum cleaner.
“On Swift Horses”
A beautifully crafted world inhabited by a talented cast, but falls short of delivering anything particularly meaningful or memorable.
“The Friend”
Despite a meaningful story about the enduring power of companionship and the pain of loss, the film just can’t get a firm grasp on its desired sentiment.
