    Final Account
    The Holocaust is one of the most exhaustively documented events in history, yet it can seemingly never be documented enough. This is not only due to the relentless persistence of antisemites and fascist sympathizers in trying to sow doubt as to its veracity, but because many more seemingly benign parties have managed to distance themselves from fascism’s warning to the West, and the world.

    Voyagers
    It’s a familiar traced sketch of 20th century imagined dystopias, but Gen-Z trappings evocative of our own looming dystopia offer a slightly new shade of color. It just isn’t vivid enough.

    Borat Subsequent Moviefilm
    Hit or miss as it may be, Borat 2 at least doesn’t fall short on sheer audacious vulgarity.

    Apples
    Having come upon a provocative allegory for the endemic dissociation of the hyper-digital age, though, Nikou does not interrogate it as intensely or from as many angles as possible in the lean, character-driven 90-minute film.

    Da 5 Bloods
    A timely but confusing mess of styles, tones, and subject matter.

    One Child Nation
    What it lacks in formal finesse or educational scope, the film more than compensates as a taut illustration of the profound disconnect between high-level social engineering and the lived social realities that totalitarian policies entail. It’s quiet, feminist rage against Big Brother.

    Dark Phoenix
    It’s not a disaster, just a lukewarm bellyflop, and a series of X-Men’s loudness and longevity deserves more.
