Disenchanted (2022) |
The filmmakers never firmly decide whose story this is, and they shift the movie’s emotional arc to a relationship that never quite earns a happily ever after. - Polygon

The Tiger Rising (2022) |
Ultimately, the story is about processing grief. While that central metaphor and story is powerful, Giarratana's film buries it under layers and layers of superfluous fluff. - Polygon

Ron's Gone Wrong (2021) |
Ron's Gone Wrong could be a movie about the perils of social media, but it works better as a movie about recognizing that friendship requires work, no matter whether the connection blossoms through a high-tech device, or the old-fashioned way, in person. - Polygon
