The Major Tones (Los Tonos Mayores) – Review

The mix of reality and the fantastical makes for a magical experience. From running through the streets to blinking, pulsating dream sequences, LOS TONOS MAYORES is utterly captivating.

Paper Flowers – Review

Paper Flowers is a charmer. It’s cheesiness and formulaic structure aside, it’s upheld by a pair of moving performances and a sincerity that I couldn’t get enough of.

The Paper Bag Plan – Review

Much THE PAPER BAG PLAN is unsurprising and similar to other family or cancer dramas, but Cole Massie and Lance Kinsey pair perfectly together to deliver a dramady that’ll make you crack up, tear up, and have a great time.

Don’t Move – Review

DON’T MOVE is a tight, light-on-its-feet thriller that knows its stars tip to tail and weaponizes their strengths with an impressive efficiency.

Director’s Cut – Review

Knowing that DIRECTOR’S CUT is headed towards death from the get-go relieves any tension of looking at our final girl or boy, at who might survive, and allows viewers to just kick back and enjoy the drama and brutality.

To Kill a Wolf – Review

TO KILL A WOLF isn’t going to be for everyone. It’s a rough watch at points and its subject matter can be triggering. For those that connect with it there’s an tight, jangling experience to be found. It’s one of the best films of 2024 and one of the most interesting debuts in recent memory.

If That Mockingbird Don’t Sing – Review

There’s a bitter rage inside the glass that is often barely contained by the humor and pathos around the rim. Still, its honesty, side-splitting humor, and delightful cast make for one of this year’s best comedies.

Los Frikis – Review

Highs, lows, sex, death, triumph, and consequences are all played stark naked with no holds barred. Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz start the incredible LOS FRIKIS in punk rock Havana and end it in a quiet nature, separated from the domestic crisis so these kids can finally be open together.

Woman of the Hour – Review

Existing at the intersection of business and misogyny, Woman of the Hour takes a serial killer story on an L.A. TV set and adds new depth to it.

Othelo, O Grande (Othello, the Grand) – Review

OTHELO, O GRANDE’s issue is that the subject’s vibrancy is highlighted at the expense of direct focus on some of the most interesting parts of the actor’s life.
