Dicks: The Musical (2023) |
[Director Larry Charles] knows how to mine a laugh from the most absurd situations and how to keep things moving at a fast pace. The film's 86-minute running time feels shorter than it is. - Bay Area Reporter

Blood-Red Ox (2021) |
Akar and Bass play their descent into madness beautifully. Both offer intense performances... But good acting cannot save a film that just doesn't make sense. - Bay Area Reporter

Albatross (2022) |
Yaksich's direction is tight and precise. The film, set almost exclusively in the Burke home, never feels stagy. The fascinating characters make the 100-minute film feel as though its running time were shorter. - Bay Area Reporter

Christmas at the Ranch (2021) |
