    Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood
    Scotty offers more than just salaciousness.

    Hearts Beat Loud
    The real reason to see this film is Kiersey Clemons’s Sam and her romance with aspiring artist Rose (Sasha Lane).

    Walk with Me
    Walk With Me (save for a few patronizing shots of nuns and monks with toys or in an amusement park) becomes a moving examination of mortality and life choices.

    Elián
    The film assumes a familiarity with the story most won't have, leaving out crucial details.

    The Divine Order
    Though the story has a predictable ebb and flow, the film includes some stunning moments

    Whitney: Can I Be Me
    The film doesn’t use enough of Houston’s music.

    Everybody Knows... Elizabeth Murray
    Zea's sharp eye for detail is evident when Murray speaks of being inspired by rural upstate New York (where she had a second home), and we see the same bright colors in tree trunks and a barn that are in the fractured, turning, twisted pieces that make up Murray's canvases.

    Two Lovers and a Bear
    Reckless love, life and death and a talking polar bear (voiced by Gordon Pinsent) are all given equal time but not a trajectory we can follow.

    The Wasted Times
    The majority of the characters murder or are murdered in short order, so finding someone to root for or a storyline to follow in this strangely empty Shanghai (even the train station looks abandoned) is difficult.
