The Girl Who Cried Pearls (2025) EDIT “There is richness in story but also in the artistry used to tell it. From the puppets, the sets, the music and entire art direction, 'The Girl...' is a film that requires repeat viewings.” – Hye's Musings Apr 13, 2026 Full Review Blood Lines (2025) EDIT “BLOOD LINES is more than a drama; Gail Maurice and team ensure it serves as an act of cultural preservation and a testament to the strength found in community.” – Hye's Musings Apr 13, 2026 Full Review Homegrown (2024) 90% EDIT “HOMEGROWN offers a rare, ground-level view of a political movement in real time. It offers a critical yet powerfully personal view of the various forces reshaping USA conservatism, political identity, and the meaning of democracy itself.” – Hye's Musings Apr 13, 2026 Full Review A Tribe Called Love (2025) EDIT “A Tribe Called Love asks us to think about how love flourishes inside systems that often push against it... By the end, the film does not try to neatly resolve whether love is enough. It lets the question sit there, honest and unresolved.” – Hye's Musings Apr 12, 2026 Full Review Nika & Madison (2025) 100% EDIT “Anchored by two remarkable lead performances, Ellyn Jade... and Star Slade, the pair bring emotional intensity to the story of two women bound by loyalty as they navigate danger and injustice, through the strength of their bond.” – Hye's Musings Apr 12, 2026 Full Review We Bury the Dead (2024) 88% EDIT “We Bury the Dead places the zombie outbreak as a backdrop instead of its main premise. This is more a film about grief and not letting go than a survival film.” – Hye's Musings Feb 6, 2026 Full Review ZombieCON Vol. 1 (2024) 85% EDIT “ZombieCON Vol. 1 is more about the joy of the ride, the inventive use of cosplaying to defeat the zombies and the camaraderie of the cast... It captures the essence of cosplaying with friends... the spicy side of it is its turn into a zombie frenzy film.” – Hye's Musings Oct 26, 2025 Full Review #skoden (2025) EDIT “In this documentary, Damien Eagle Bear seeks to reclaim Pernell’s humanity, offering a more personal and compassionate portrait of the man behind the meme. ” – Hye's Musings Jul 9, 2025 Full Review Finding Nicole (2025) EDIT “In a media landscape where stories of trauma are often sensationalized or ignored, [FINDING NICOLE] at least makes the effort to remind of us of these very real stories. That in itself deserves some credit.” – Hye's Musings Jul 9, 2025 Full Review 40 Acres (2024) 90% EDIT “With sci-fi, genre and dramatic elements, 40 Acres... [focuses] on family, community and the importance of sovereignty of Indigenous and Black people are timely and necessary topics.” – Hye's Musings Jul 9, 2025 Full Review The Room Next Door (2024) 80% EDIT “'The Room Next Door' talks about a friendship rekindled by the two main female characters, which becomes a relationship similar to romantic love, but without love’s inconveniences. The film also leaves us with thoughts about death and dying...” – Hye's Musings Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Dahomey (2024) 97% EDIT “Through 'Dahomey', Diop not only records a historic moment; she invites us to confront the ongoing legacies of colonialism and to question whether restitution can truly undo the past or merely provide a path forward toward healing.” – Hye's Musings Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Never Look Away (2024) 93% EDIT “As a story about a captivating and interesting individual who worked in some of the most dangerous parts of the world, 'Never Look Away' provides a good balance in terms of the personal and the professional sides of Margaret Moth.” – Hye's Musings Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Memoir of a Snail (2024) 95% EDIT “With Memoir of a Snail, Adam Elliot reminds us why he is one of animation’s unique voices. The film’s absurd humour, melancholy, and beautiful hand-crafted artistry create a humbling human experience.” – Hye's Musings Apr 25, 2025 Full Review The Last Showgirl (2024) 83% EDIT “The Last Showgirl is a moving portrayal of a multi-generational group of women who, while facing uncertainty, attempt to figure out their next steps for their future. ” – Hye's Musings Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Párvulos: Children of the Apocalypse (2024) 88% EDIT “Mexican filmmaker Isaac Ezban returns with PÁRVULOS, a blend of dystopian horror and emotional introspection... [the film] is both a genre piece and an emotional journey. ” – Hye's Musings Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Bring Them Down (2024) 89% EDIT “The result is a story that will shock, anger and even make audiences gasp. In these uncomfortable spaces lies what makes this film interesting and challenging... it leaves us with plenty to think about...” – Hye's Musings Oct 28, 2024 Full Review Aberdeen (2024) EDIT “This is what [ABERDEEN] reminds us of – that it can take almost a lifetime to undo all the grief and destruction from this [intergenerational] trauma. Nonetheless, change is possible and families can reunite and start anew.” – Hye's Musings Oct 28, 2024 Full Review Superboys of Malegaon (2024) 87% EDIT “'Superboys of Maleagaon' is not only a biopic relating the life of Shaikh and his close friends, but also a caring look at the ‘magic’ that movies and friendship can create.” – Hye's Musings Oct 28, 2024 Full Review Eureka (2023) 83% EDIT “As a work of art, [EUREKA] is a film that demands patience, but for those willing to engage, it will leave a lasting impression.” – Hye's Musings Oct 28, 2024 Full Review National Anthem (2023) 91% EDIT “At its core, NATIONAL ANTHEM is A sensual, fun and thoughtful in its depiction of a group of people finding their place and voice in the world. The film explores themes of chosen family and the quest for authenticity...” – Hye's Musings Jul 20, 2024 Full Review Richelieu (2023) EDIT “Although it is a fiction film, it addresses some key themes that impact those of us living across Canada directly and indirectly.” – Hye's Musings Jun 27, 2024 Full Review The Settlers (2023) 94% EDIT “'The Settlers'... challenges what we are taught (and not taught) in history books. It is asking us to question said history and to acknowlege that all colonies were established through violence and genocide.” – Hye's Musings Jun 4, 2024 Full Review With Love and a Major Organ (2023) 88% EDIT “With elements of magic realism, 'With Love and a Major Organ' addresses our inability to connect to each other... It stretches our imagination while asking us to acknowledge the courage it takes to be true to one’s own ‘heart’.” – Hye's Musings Jun 4, 2024 Full Review How to Have Sex (2023) 97% EDIT “In 'How To Have Sex'... Manning Walker has written a young person’s story that is honest and relatable in various ways. ” – Hye's Musings Jun 4, 2024 Full Review
