    It is a refreshingly traditional star-driven thriller.

    Own The Room is fun, hopeful, and inspiring to any future entrepreneur and a must-watch.

    An inspiring, fun documentary.
  1. Kandhari delivers a story one might never expect, lingering with you long after it ends, which is long-winded. He captures many details from set to screen with honest conviction, making them memorable within a very unusual but novel story.
  2. Chic, sexy, and just the right amount of sleazy, A Simple Favor is a stunning thrill ride, a viciously engrossing experience that has become so rare in studio filmmaking.
  3. The beauty of Young Hearts lies in how authentic it feels.

    The most touching moments come from Amy Hill as Linh, who runs a nail salon located next to a strip of long-forgotten Hollywood Walk of Fame stars.
  4. It’s refreshing to see romance looked at in such an authentic, yet still entertaining manner. As such, it brings to mind films by the great Nicole Holofcener.

    Like Basic Instinct, it's a sexually charged thriller centering around a cop and a sex-mad and slightly perplexing woman.

    The Pod Generation is a science-fiction film with something to say and forces us to confront our future by asking questions. Just because we can screw around with biology, should we? Sophie Barthes’ futuristic tale is worth watching just for the conversation that’s bound to happen afterward.

    People like Amy Grappell should be highly honored for showing those parts of the world that we do not know, despite news networks insisting otherwise.
  5. With Nothing Compares, Ferguson captures the fire which fuels the still relevant singer. By honing in on a specific time frame but contextualizing it within Sinéad’s life, the film allows us to get to know the subject intimately.

    In the end, Past Lives plays with your brain and heart. It’s one of those films that leaves you thinking about and yearning for what might have been.

    Limbo stands out as a competent cop-drama noir. Our three heroes are put through the wringer and barely come out with their sanity and their lives. Cheang holds nothing back.

    It is compellingly enervating and a marvel in the filmmaking process.
  6. Tigers Are Not Afraid isn’t quite the masterful dark fairy tale it aspires to be. The humor is entirely unnecessary and tonally misplaced. But what it gets right, it does brilliantly. The acting is superb, the mix of fantasy and realistic drama is sublime, and the story is haunting and fascinating in equal measure.
  7. A straight-ahead exercise in brutality.

    John C. McGinley carries the majority of the film's emotional weight, as he's the guy with the most to lose (and seemingly the most Hell-bent on losing), and his performance is easily one of the best of his career.
  8. Scorcese has made one of his best and most personal films...Kundun is also mercifully free of white teachers or saviors, such as, oh, say, Brad Pitt?
  9. Although it is interview-heavy, a great deal of archival footage fills out the movie. Udi Aloni offers education and insight into amazing people, motivating you to learn more about them.

    An important heads-up to what is going on in our country right now in the name of national security, and a brilliant statement on artistic freedom and the dangers it faces. This film should be seen, should be discussed and is an important document on our times.

    Wise and respectful of its audience, "Cloudy" thus never stops the fun.
  10. Not enough can be said about Cage’s performance. He truly has shaken off all pretense of self-consciousness and can just go “full send” on playing frustrated hysteria and sheer unabashed lunacy. He is simply unmatched and fearless in this type of role. He has elevated shrieking madness to pure art.
  11. Supremely entertaining and hilarious, First Love will melt your brains, punch you in the gut and leave your hearts a-flutter.
  12. The performances are remarkable, particularly from Kingsley, and I love the script. I can’t wait to see what Dan Kelly and Devereux Milburn do next, whether it’s together or separately.
  13. Marona’s Fantastic Tale gently and poetically deals with heavy themes like mortality, solitude, and loss, but manages to be suitable viewing for the entire family. It reiterates that the love our dogs have for us is unconditional and that we shouldn’t regard them as accessories or temporary means of respite. It’s also a phantasmagoric feast for the eyes. Seek it out.

    The reason Titane works is director Ducournau and actors Lindon and Rousselle’s commitment to their characters and stories. Each performance is played straight without a single wink to the camera.
  14. Gleaming like a well-polished magic lamp on a vibrant Persian rug, The Keeper: The Legend of Omar Khayyam showcases Arabian/Muslim culture at its best and brightest.

    A great film because of it's realism and the ability to show viewers a world that exists even today, but not everyone knows about.
  15. The layering of multiple narratives on top of each other invites the viewer to reflect upon the numerous themes at play. The drama touches upon notions of one’s own identity, whether we can ever know another’s true identity, and the role of secrets in even the most intimate of relationships.
