The Long Game (2023) |
Although decently paced, The Long Game stumbles through oddly placed montages midway through. Sports enthusiasts may find it a mundane watch, but newcomers will likely have a better experience. - Cultured Vultures

The Magician's Elephant (2023) |
The Magician's Elephant is an interesting fantasy film that takes its time to warm up. While Peter comes off as a lackluster protagonist for the first half of his journey, he eventually finds his bearings, and the film becomes a decent watch from there. - Cultured Vultures

They/Them (2022) |
They/Them is a rather dull slasher flick with too much and too little going on simultaneously. Kevin Bacon makes a welcome appearance, and the first quarter shows promise, but the slasher element gets buried beneath too many dramatic subplots. - Cultured Vultures

Acidman (2022) |
Acidman is a decent character-driven film about a daughter trying to rekindle a relationship with her father. The first fourty minutes are a bit slow, but the film picks up from there and carries on with good effect. - Cultured Vultures

Pompo the Cinephile (2021) |
Pompo: The Cinéphile is both a wonderfully animated and wonderfully told story about a young individual trying to make it big in filmmaking. Audiences will bond with the characters and find an uplifting message about following their dreams. - Cultured Vultures

Madres (2021) |

The Protégé (2021) |
It isn't the worst action-thriller, nor is it anything new or special. The Protégé is only for those who like these types of thrillers - and Samuel L. Jackson. - Cultured Vultures

All the Streets Are Silent: The Convergence of Hip Hop and Skateboarding (1987-1997) (2021) |
All The Streets Are Silent is most definitely a worthwhile look at the rise and life of, what is indeed, the "soundtrack of a generation." - Cultured Vultures

Silo (2019) |
Thankfully, even with its faults, Burnette succeeds in delivering a film that makes us think about the perils farmers endure every day so that we may eat. A lot of thought went into it, and it deserves credit for this, despite its shortcomings. - Cultured Vultures

Paper Spiders (2021) |
Some will find Paper Spiders too much to handle, but others might find the hope they need in overcoming obstacles in their own lives - and that gives this film the most crucial ingredient in being truly great: purpose. - Cultured Vultures

Ms. White Light (2019) |
Ms. White Light seems like it has potential, but it's all wasted on incoherent dialogue and an unclear vision. It's not a horrid watch, but it's not impressive either - Cultured Vultures

The Possession of Hannah Grace (2018) |
The Possession of Hannah Grace is not the most detestable exorcism-related film out there. It's not even the worst, but more work was needed to make this film "good." What's done is done, and we're stuck with what we got. - Cultured Vultures
