LFG (2021) |
LFG is everything a documentary should be: there's a clear story and fight at hand, the subjects are charismatic and prepared (and again, so, so cool), and there is a blatant lesson to be learned. - Decider

Eric Andre: Legalize Everything (2020) |
It's not light, easy viewing by any means, but this chaotic special is a respite from the other kind of chaos that is 2020 and anything that provides a laugh these days is worth watching. - Decider

The Trip to Greece (2020) |

Endings, Beginnings (2019) |
These three leads, with mega franchises in their past (and future), find themselves in a very different kind of film, but one that fans will surely find irresistible, and one that is impossible not to be moved by. - Decider

Dead in a Week (2018) |
