I Was a Stranger (2024) 75% 3.5/5 EDIT “I Was A Stranger captures the chaos of the Syrian Civil War and refugee crisis, making for an unrelenting, bleak, but purposeful experience. ” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jan 5, 2026 Full Review No Country for Old Men (2007) 93% 5/5 EDIT “The Coens capture that chaos in a controlled, commanding movie, the best of their career and one of the best of the century.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Sep 30, 2025 Full Review Silent Light (2007) 85% 4/5 EDIT “Silent Light keeps its audience wondering about our desires, about how our own guilt may slowly be eating away at an otherwise beautiful existence. ” – Loud and Clear Reviews Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Allen Sunshine (2024) 3.5/5 EDIT “It’s clear that Allen Sunshine is a beautiful, layered, first step for a budding artist.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jul 30, 2025 Full Review 12 Angry Men (1957) 100% 5/5 EDIT “It’s a classic for a reason, and it’s a film that everyone should see at least once in their life.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Elio (2025) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Each generation of film fans needs movies like these to remind us of our place in the universe.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Videodrome (1983) 83% EDIT “Videodrome should be considered one of the auteur’s most idiosyncratic works, but it elevates itself into “classic” territory because of its timeless, pessimistic message about the consequences of addiction.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jun 12, 2025 Full Review Corina (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Despite the growing pains of a debut feature, Corina is just fun and quirky enough to entertain and provoke empathy in its viewers.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Glorious Summer (2025) 4.5/5 EDIT “Glorious Summer uses stellar cinematography and praiseworthy performances to comment on women’s freedom in direct and fascinating ways. ” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jun 6, 2025 Full Review The Severed Sun (2024) 78% 3.5/5 EDIT “Borrowing from recent folk horrors like The Witch and Midsommar, The Severed Sun establishes itself as a worthy entry in the genre. ” – Loud and Clear Reviews May 14, 2025 Full Review My Uncle Jens (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “Touching on themes like family, immigration, and cultural and generational differences, this film clearly has more on its mind than the average comedy.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Mar 10, 2025 Full Review The Surrender (2025) 85% 2.5/5 EDIT “Aside from some admittedly freaky body horror, The Surrender falls into obscurity due to a flat script and faulty performances. ” – Loud and Clear Reviews Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Beau travail (1999) 87% 4.5/5 EDIT “Ultimately, the film is about relationships: the relationship between broken people, the relationship between human beings and their surroundings, the relationship between war and peace, the relationship between expression and repression.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Feb 26, 2025 Full Review The Fishing Place (2024) 73% 4/5 EDIT “War dramas can so easily stay inside of a box, something that THE FISHING PLACE seems actively bent on rebelling against. Simply for that reason, Trezenga’s film is worthy of consideration and conversation.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Feb 3, 2025 Full Review The Host (2006) 93% 4/5 EDIT “A film about protecting family and the environment as much as it is about a giant fish creature, The Host is a genre-traversing thrill ride with simple but potent messaging.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Jan 21, 2025 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (2024) 49% 2.5/5 EDIT “This film, apparently, is about the stories that are forgotten. However, due to its thin plot and over-reliance on its predecessors, War of the Rohirrim itself is a story that risks being forgotten.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Winter Light (1962) 77% 5/5 EDIT “This masterpiece, and Bergman’s films in general, will continue to stay relevant as long as the emotions of doubt and faith continue to be relevant components of the human condition.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Nov 27, 2024 Full Review The Social Network (2010) 96% 5/5 EDIT “How human beings connect, and how they can become isolated based on a variety of factors, is the key question at the heart of The Social Network. As time changes, and technology continues to evolve, these universal questions will continue to live on.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Nov 16, 2024 Full Review There Was, There Was Not (2024) 100% 4/5 EDIT “There Was, There Was Not films its scenes and characters like a fairytale, but equally captures the nightmarish reality that springs from evil and war. Ugliness and beauty are truthfully conveyed, something only the most powerful documentaries can do.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Nov 13, 2024 Full Review All Happy Families (2023) 86% 2.5/5 EDIT “Family dysfunction films can work, but All Happy Families suffers from its own dysfunctional filmmaking, relying too much on Josh Radnor’s talent.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) 83% 4.5/5 EDIT “The chaos may seem out of control, but Wright seems to suggest that, much like the real world, chaos can be controlled by the power of our own emotions.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023) 95% 3.5/5 EDIT “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem manically delivers a fun animated adventure, fueled by its style and impeccable voice work.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Oct 20, 2024 Full Review BlacKkKlansman (2018) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Spike Lee’s power is on full display in his film BlacKkKlansman, a gut-punch comedy drama that uses the past to critique the present (and possibly future). ” – Loud and Clear Reviews Sep 27, 2024 Full Review The Last Republican (2024) 88% 3/5 EDIT “This doc sets Kinzinger up as not only a political martyr, but a warning of what may be to come if we don’t start seeing the humanity within each other.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Sep 13, 2024 Full Review The Mother of All Lies (2023) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “Every once and a while, a bold filmmaker comes along to mess with our perceptions of the truth.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Sep 3, 2024 Full Review
