Gazer (2024) 78% “The result is a grungy and entirely engrossing neo-noir that takes deliciously unexpected turns.” – KPBS.org Apr 21, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 97% “Coogler effortlessly has mastered a style that allows his films to pull you in as pure entertainment, but then he finds ways to resonate on a deeper thematic level.” – KPBS.org Apr 21, 2025 Full Review Párvulos: Children of the Apocalypse (2024) 87% ““Párvulos” uses the trappings of the horror genre to create a vivid and ultimately poignant family drama.” – KPBS.org Apr 7, 2025 Full Review Superboys of Malegaon (2024) 88% “Kagti pulls on our heartstrings, but the emotions feel genuine, and her cast is infinitely appealing. ” – KPBS.org Mar 6, 2025 Full Review Dammi (2023) “The film is told in a visually poetic and compelling style.” – KPBS.org Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Call Me Mule (2023) “Directed by John McDonald and Nina Schwanse, the documentary lets much of Mule's life unfold through wordless, attentively-shot montages that depict his daily routine, from cooking meals to shoeing his mules.” – KPBS.org Feb 19, 2025 Full Review The Cigarette Surfboard (2024) “The film is a beautiful and inspiring portrait of activism.” – KPBS.org Feb 19, 2025 Full Review From Ground Zero (2024) 98% “What is most amazing is that so many of the films highlight joy, hope and beauty despite horrific conditions.” – KPBS.org Jan 21, 2025 Full Review Queer (2024) 77% “"Queer" feels vintage and period but also otherworldly. It is gorgeously crafted from the costumes and production design to the cinematography and music. ” – KPBS.org Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Humane (2024) 71% “"Humane" is a superbly crafted and precisely ratcheted film that refuses to fit neatly into any box. ” – KPBS.org Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Strange Darling (2023) 96% “This was such a surprise and absolute cinematic delight.” – KPBS.org Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Never Look Away (2024) 93% “For a first time director, Lawless tackles the material with both assurance and a bold creativity.” – KPBS.org Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) 75% ““Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” provides a perfect popcorn movie to escape to in air-conditioned cinemas. It offers deliciously dark and twisted eye candy but not much more.” – KPBS.org Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Sing Sing (2023) 97% “I went into "Sing Sing" not knowing that many of the actors had been incarcerated and were playing variations on themselves... the performances felt different. Not just powerful and impressive, but fueled by a fire that comes from real life experiences.” – KPBS.org Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Twisters (2024) 75% “What’s most surprising is that movie technology has changed as much as weather technology, yet Twisters feels visually underwhelming.” – KPBS.org Jul 24, 2024 Full Review The Secret Art of Human Flight (2023) 97% “It is a genre-bending film about loss and grief. It is filled with unexpected humor and whimsy. I guarantee it will surprise you and lift your spirits.” – KPBS.org Jul 24, 2024 Full Review MaXXXine (2024) 72% “West has created such a solid and amazing trilogy. Each film has a style uniquely its own, each can stand alone on its own merits and narrative yet watched together these films are decidedly a better experience.” – KPBS.org Jul 24, 2024 Full Review Longlegs (2024) 86% “Longlegs is not a bad film, just a disappointing one.” – KPBS.org Jul 24, 2024 Full Review The Promised Land (2023) 97% “[This] remarkable film displays passionate and impressive skill.” – KPBS.org Mar 4, 2024 Full Review Io Capitano (2023) 96% “The film features a harrowing and heart-breaking journey that tests the courage, strength and compassion of a boy named Seydou...” – KPBS.org Mar 4, 2024 Full Review The Zone of Interest (2023) 93% “Despite some frustrations with the approach, I still recommend The Zone of Interest if only for the stunning sound design that becomes a character all its own and conveys the horror that lies just beyond the well groomed garden and its protective walls.” – KPBS.org Feb 29, 2024 Full Review Drive-Away Dolls (2024) 63% “It doesn’t have a lot on its mind but it offers a most entertaining and fast ride.” – KPBS.org Feb 29, 2024 Full Review The Peasants (2023) 61% “The story it tells is familiar but it finds the details to make it feel specific and a visual style to make it feel fresh. And stay through the end credits to get a glimpse into the animation process.” – KPBS.org Feb 9, 2024 Full Review The Teachers' Lounge (2023) 96% “Leonie Benesch makes Carla a complex, flawed, naïve, brave and above all human character.” – KPBS.org Feb 9, 2024 Full Review Perfect Days (2023) 96% “Wenders has such a great knack for character studies and this one is so elegantly simple and perfect.” – KPBS.org Feb 9, 2024 Full Review
