Louisa Moore

Tomatometer-approved critic
Biography:

Ever since she was a child, Louisa has loved cinema. While other kids would sneak downstairs to watch cartoons on weekend mornings, she was the kid who would secretly watch "At the Movies with Siskel and Ebert." Subscriptions to film magazines were here favorite gifts, and movie posters her favorite decor. Louisa has continued her love affair with the movies by founding the review site Screen Zealots, where she reviews both wide releases, indies, and short films. She is President of the Online Association of Female Film Critics, member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association and the Las Vegas Film Critics Society, and serves on the Board of the Critics Groups for Equality in Media (CGEM).

The Life We Leave (2026) EDIT “A fascinating look at the emerging world of human composting that explores how our evolving attitudes toward death, legacy, and remembrance may reshape the way we say goodbye.” – Screen Zealots Mar 16, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% EDIT “Dark, weird, and uncompromisingly feminist, the film is a rage-filled, rebellious middle finger to patriarchal oppression. ” – Screen Zealots Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 93% EDIT “Everything you want from an animated adventure: laughs, thrills, a little edge, and a big message about why caring about the world matters.” – Screen Zealots Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Paradise Records (2025) EDIT “A chaotic, crude, and undeniably funny late-night kind of movie that’s made for laughing, cringing, and quoting with friends.” – Screen Zealots Mar 11, 2026 Full Review Carousel (2026) 69% EDIT “A modest (and miscast) indie drama that gives a thoughtful and realistic portrait of connection and loneliness. ” – Screen Zealots Mar 11, 2026 Full Review The Chronology of Water (2025) 90% EDIT “Navigates a woman’s emotional healing with a raw, sexually charged and wholly angry point of view.” – Screen Zealots Mar 11, 2026 Full Review Bedford Park (2026) 96% EDIT “A deeply personal and honest meditation on identity, responsibility, loyalty, and healing.” – Screen Zealots Mar 11, 2026 Full Review Night Nurse (2026) 76% EDIT “Unpleasant, slow, and oddly self-important, this boundary-pushing psychosexual thriller is just too nasty to care much about at all.” – Screen Zealots Mar 11, 2026 Full Review My Father's Shadow (2025) 97% EDIT “This intimate family portrait allows meaning to emerge through quiet observations and everyday interactions between a father, his sons, and the world.” – Screen Zealots Mar 11, 2026 Full Review Disneyland Handcrafted (2026) 100% EDIT “ Even as a person who has an in-depth grasp on Disney history, I learned a ton and found out things that I’d never heard (or seen) before. This documentary gave me an even greater and deeper appreciation for Disneyland. ” – Screen Zealots Feb 28, 2026 Full Review Extra Geography (2026) 100% EDIT “A coming-of-age story that takes you right back to that time when friendships feel all-consuming, crushes feel life-altering, and growing up feels like something you can perfectly plan out if you just try hard enough.” – Screen Zealots Feb 28, 2026 Full Review Ghost in the Machine (2026) 79% EDIT “The type of documentary that mistakes sheer volume of information for insight, this one feels like an overlong lecture.” – Screen Zealots Feb 28, 2026 Full Review Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight (2024) 91% EDIT “Personal and politically resonant, the film highlights the danger of inherited prejudice from the point of view of a child.” – Screen Zealots Feb 28, 2026 Full Review Hot Water (2026) 90% EDIT “An indie road trip movie that’s not particularly revolutionary, but just a genuinely nice story that meets its modest ambitions.” – Screen Zealots Feb 28, 2026 Full Review Rosemead (2025) 88% EDIT “This slow and heavy film is exhausting, weighed down by glacial pacing and uneven performances.” – Screen Zealots Feb 28, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% EDIT “A nasty little thriller about the way power corrupts us all.” – Screen Zealots Feb 28, 2026 Full Review Sound of Falling (2025) 94% EDIT “A hypnotic meditation on time, memory, and the quiet violence that echoes through generations.” – Screen Zealots Feb 28, 2026 Full Review The Best Summer (2026) 85% EDIT “A music documentary needs more than access and vibes, and this one never finds anything deeper to say. "The Best Summer" is the kind of documentary that mistakes access for substance. ” – Screen Zealots Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Hanging by a Wire (2026) 88% EDIT “An edge-of-your-seat true rescue story with with a razor-edged social sting.” – Screen Zealots Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Run Amok (2026) 67% EDIT “A bold and uncomfortable exploration of unresolved grief that doesn’t quite know how far it wants to go.” – Screen Zealots Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Seized (2026) 100% EDIT “A well made and deeply reported First Amendment documentary that’s smart enough to trust its audience. ” – Screen Zealots Feb 20, 2026 Full Review zi (2026) 68% EDIT “This is exactly the kind of film most viewers will fairly dismiss as being too artsy and vague. It’ll test your patience long before the halfway mark.” – Screen Zealots Feb 20, 2026 Full Review All About the Money (2026) 91% EDIT “Through its look at radical politics and privileged elites, the documentary asks a thorny question: how do you dismantle a system you’re profiting from?” – Screen Zealots Feb 20, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% EDIT “With its sharp social commentary and dark subject matter, this film is a devilish critique of capitalism and the violence it can breed. ” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% EDIT “Thoughtful, tense, politically sharp, and consistently engaging, how refreshing to see a film that not only respects its audience, but delivers tenfold.” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review
