Louisa Moore

Tomatometer-approved critic
Biography:

Ever since she was a child, Louisa has loved cinema. While other kids would sneak downstairs to watch cartoons on weekend mornings, she was the kid who would secretly watch "At the Movies with Siskel and Ebert." Subscriptions to film magazines were here favorite gifts, and movie posters her favorite decor. Louisa has continued her love affair with the movies by founding the review site Screen Zealots, where she reviews both wide releases, indies, and short films. She is President of the Online Association of Female Film Critics, member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association and the Las Vegas Film Critics Society, and serves on the Board of the Critics Groups for Equality in Media (CGEM).

Disneyland Handcrafted (2026) 100% EDIT “ Even as a person who has an in-depth grasp on Disney history, I learned a ton and found out things that I’d never heard (or seen) before. This documentary gave me an even greater and deeper appreciation for Disneyland. ” – Screen Zealots Feb 28, 2026 Full Review Extra Geography (2026) 100% EDIT “A coming-of-age story that takes you right back to that time when friendships feel all-consuming, crushes feel life-altering, and growing up feels like something you can perfectly plan out if you just try hard enough.” – Screen Zealots Feb 28, 2026 Full Review Ghost in the Machine (2026) 79% EDIT “The type of documentary that mistakes sheer volume of information for insight, this one feels like an overlong lecture.” – Screen Zealots Feb 28, 2026 Full Review Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight (2024) 91% EDIT “Personal and politically resonant, the film highlights the danger of inherited prejudice from the point of view of a child.” – Screen Zealots Feb 28, 2026 Full Review Hot Water (2026) 90% EDIT “An indie road trip movie that’s not particularly revolutionary, but just a genuinely nice story that meets its modest ambitions.” – Screen Zealots Feb 28, 2026 Full Review Rosemead (2025) 88% EDIT “This slow and heavy film is exhausting, weighed down by glacial pacing and uneven performances.” – Screen Zealots Feb 28, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% EDIT “A nasty little thriller about the way power corrupts us all.” – Screen Zealots Feb 28, 2026 Full Review Sound of Falling (2025) 93% EDIT “A hypnotic meditation on time, memory, and the quiet violence that echoes through generations.” – Screen Zealots Feb 28, 2026 Full Review The Best Summer (2026) 83% EDIT “A music documentary needs more than access and vibes, and this one never finds anything deeper to say. "The Best Summer" is the kind of documentary that mistakes access for substance. ” – Screen Zealots Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Hanging by a Wire (2026) 88% EDIT “An edge-of-your-seat true rescue story with with a razor-edged social sting.” – Screen Zealots Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Run Amok (2026) 66% EDIT “A bold and uncomfortable exploration of unresolved grief that doesn’t quite know how far it wants to go.” – Screen Zealots Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Seized (2026) 100% EDIT “A well made and deeply reported First Amendment documentary that’s smart enough to trust its audience. ” – Screen Zealots Feb 20, 2026 Full Review zi (2026) 68% EDIT “This is exactly the kind of film most viewers will fairly dismiss as being too artsy and vague. It’ll test your patience long before the halfway mark.” – Screen Zealots Feb 20, 2026 Full Review All About the Money (2026) 91% EDIT “Through its look at radical politics and privileged elites, the documentary asks a thorny question: how do you dismantle a system you’re profiting from?” – Screen Zealots Feb 20, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% EDIT “With its sharp social commentary and dark subject matter, this film is a devilish critique of capitalism and the violence it can breed. ” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% EDIT “Thoughtful, tense, politically sharp, and consistently engaging, how refreshing to see a film that not only respects its audience, but delivers tenfold.” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Nuisance Bear  (2026) 100% EDIT “This elegant and thought-provoking meditation on resilience, coexistence, and responsibility is gorgeous, powerful, and heartbreaking all at once. ” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Sentient (2026) EDIT “One of the most emotionally distressing documentaries I’ve ever seen. It’s given me nightmares for days, and I can’t shake the film's stories or images. I truly wish I’d never watched it, but I also know it was important to.” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Everybody To Kenmure Street (2026) 100% EDIT “The refusal to stay silent is the backbone of resistance, showing what can be achieved when we stand together. This creative, bird's eye view documentary screams "Power to the People!" ” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Closure (2026) EDIT “A beautifully made documentary about the painful truth of what it means to keep searching when closure may never come.” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Silenced (2026) 100% EDIT “An emotionally exhausting documentary with a message that’s timely and necessary, this film doesn’t hold back with its blazing critique of an issue that seems to be getting increasingly worse for women around the world.” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review The Musical (2026) 58% EDIT “An ugly, mean-spirited film that is unpleasant in a way that feels deliberate but not especially rewarding.” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review H Is for Hawk (2025) 80% EDIT “Leans too heavily into the familiar, but the film is a thoughtful, quietly profound meditation on grief and the fragile process of learning how to live again.” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 92% EDIT “Enchanting, pretentious, and mildly irritating, this is absolute catnip for lovers of French New Wave cinema.” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review The Choral (2025) 68% EDIT “An earnest and comforting period piece about the healing power of music and the way creating something together can offer a glimmer of hope in the darkest of times.” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review
