      4/5
      Anatomy of a Fall (2023) Anna Miller Triet and Harari’s screenplay is on absolute fire with authentic, intriguing dialogue, story beats that continuously pique interests and keep an audience guessing, and an intensity that is realistic, natural and unpredictable in the best way.

      Firebrand (2023) Anna Miller Firebrand drags its feet, stumbling around the decision to either retell the historical events as we know it, fill in the blanks from what's missing from the history books, or completely turn the film into an ultra modern feminist “you go girl” flick...

      May December (2023) Anna Miller The film relies on ambiguity, letting the audience draw their own conclusions and opinions, which makes the film all the more frustratingly vague but satisfyingly authentic. We are but subjective observers to the world, happenings and events around us...

      The Zone of Interest (2023) Anna Miller Glazer's unique approach is unlike anything ever seen before, as he examines the darkness of humans and history in such an unassuming manner that reminds us of just how quiet and subtle human horror most oftentimes can be.

      Asteroid City (2023) Anna Miller Through alien invasion, inventors, playwrights and camp kids, Anderson supplies a gorgeously fresh and touching tale of humans trying to do their “thing” right, whatever that may be... every audience member should be able to relate, pastels and all.

      4/5
      Bottoms (2023) Anna Miller Bottoms is a bit of everything: violent and bloody to gutsy, incredulous hilarity and a sprinkle of genuinely touching moments... Bottoms is a breath of fresh air, straight from the school gymnasium.

      4/5
      Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) Anna Miller Killers of the Flower Moon is an excellent and twisty retelling of an abhorrent and brutal time in our history. Scorsese is masterful at creating tension — a sense of uneasiness — and holding it for the majority of the deeply engaging runtime.

      4.5/5
      The Worst Person in the World (2021) Anna Miller Through Reinsve's depiction of Julie combined with a resounding script to work with, she shares with us the realization that life is fleeting, confusing, unfair and excruciating, but so incredibly beautiful.

      3.5/5
      The Princess (2022) Anna Miller The Princess is a well executed documentary that tackles the tragedy of Diana Spencer. It shines a light on the beauty she brought into the world, as well as the beauty she ultimately left in her wake.

      4/5
      Am I OK? (2022) Anna Miller Notaro and Allynne’s Am I Ok? is an authentic and heart-warming story of self discovery and friendship. It is a wonderful little reflection of the human experience: sweet, awkward, touching, beautiful… all of the above really, as is life.

      4/5
      The Menu (2022) Anna Miller In a unique pairing with the palpable tension comes the dark humor of the film— two facets that usually do not go hand in hand in film as laughter famously diffuses any built up tension, but The Menu cooks up a balance that really works.

      4/5
      Monster (2023) Anna Miller We never truly know what one another may have experienced or are currently going through, and this film is a gentle reminder of that very idea. Monster is yet another poignant tale handled with care and delicacy by Kore-eda, that is not to be missed.
      Posted Jul 26, 2023
      5/5
      Women Talking (2022) Anna Miller The film features strong women with a sense of self determination who choose the terrifying path of self liberation as they attempt to unlearn oppression and make a stand – a cry, of defiance for themselves, their loved ones and their future.

      Moxie (2021) Carson Timar While Moxie might not be a masterpiece, it cannot be stated enough how important films like this are. Celebrating girlhood with a clear and empowering voice, this is the type of content that needs to be made.
      Posted Sep 27, 2022
      The Quiet Girl (2022) Sarah Manvel An Cailín Ciúin’s depiction of growing up is mostly how someone learns to find safety within their own thoughts while going about an ordinary day. Peeling potatoes, fetching water, sweeping, having a bath. It all builds to a devastatingly emotional finale
      Posted Jun 09, 2022
      Paris, 13th District (2021) Sarah Manvel A joyous film about the kind of human connections we should all be so fortunate to have.

      Posted Feb 12, 2022
      One Night in Miami (2020) Carson Timar To say that One Night in Miami is impressive would be an understatement. This is a film that so easily could have fallen apart if even a single element was not performing to an incredibly high level. Yet every piece of the film is truly inspired.
