I Like Movies (2022)

5/5
“Levack carefully plants the seeds of her film’s serious turn throughout, so that when "I Like Movies" steers hard into its coming-of-age rough patch, the tonal shift feels natural.” –

Eight Eyes (2023)
2/5
“When a movie turns on its protagonists so early in the game, it’s really difficult to unglaze the eyes—but exceedingly easy for the brain to play “Spot the Reference” as a way of coping for the remaining seventy minutes.” –

“Once again, a great opportunity for working through difficult societal issues in an entertaining movie is hampered by catchphrases, non-arguments, and the easiest jokes one could think of when considering said issues.” –

Relative (2022)

5/5
“At a glance, it’s easy to lump in Relative with the dozens (hundreds? thousands?) of weekend-reunion dramas. However, Smith’s allergy to the subgenre’s conventions elevates his movie in deceptively profound ways.” –
