“It’s better than the overused critic term “a love letter to cinema”; instead, it is a beautifully honest letter to the human condition.” –

“'Queen of the Ring' is filled with plenty of melodrama balanced with an uplifting message and a relevant spotlight on a part of history not always explored in mainstream media. Rickards's stand-out performance anchors the strong ensemble cast.” –

“It would be easy to dismiss the doc as a cash grab indulging society’s desire to gawk the eccentric. Yet, the sensationalized, ridiculous, and—interestingly enough—sometimes touching film inadvertently lends itself to a more significant conversation.” –

Nosferatu (2024)

“Although it falls short of landing the broader socio-political punch of the 1922 and 1979 films, Nosferatu (2024) is a beautifully gothic cinematic journey with many engrossing themes, such as isolation and female suppression. ” –

“The outstanding performances in this musical/psychological thriller can’t save the film from itself. The movie is overly aimless, self-indulgent, and miserable in the hopes that the audience will forget that it doesn’t seem to have a plot.” –

“The movie touches on several themes, like exploitation, corruption, and worker empowerment, in an engaging, entertaining, and fun way for the whole family. Viewers would be wrong to dismiss Transformers One as a “mindless’ cash-grab kids movie.

“The new biopic leans into this nostalgia with ahistorical bravado and selective story-telling. If you are looking for a more thought-provoking cinematic dive into a critical part of history, you’ll need to look elsewhere.” –
