Hell of a Summer (2023) 52% “The feature debut from writing/directing/acting team Billy Bryk and Finn Wolfhard is neither rehash nor slash-by-numbers.” – Nashville Scene Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Misericordia (2024) 95% “The plot is smart, expertly constructed and very effective. But once you know the points on the graph where all that unfolds, Guiraudie and his cast are able to do something nearly alchemical.” – Nashville Scene Apr 2, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 79% “There’s something resigned about the universe Perkins gives us, with the comic tones finding a perfect balancing point between gleefully outrageous gorescapes and the kind of gallows humor you’d find in M*A*S*H or a particularly grisly Coen brothers film.” – Nashville Scene Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Queer (2024) 77% “At this current historical moment, Queer is a work of radical theory and intent that, while it’s still legal, enriches the medium and cranks up all the conflicted emotional responses.” – Nashville Scene Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person (2023) 90% “Sasha getting her fangs is very relatable to anyone who spent years at the mercy of biochemistry and autonomic nervous responses.” – Nashville Scene Nov 8, 2024 Full Review The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (2024) 92% “Family-friendly, rather charming and unafraid to point out that calcified church figureheads are often the stumbling blocks keeping people from the community and fellowship that faith should offer. ” – Nashville Scene Nov 8, 2024 Full Review MaXXXine (2024) 72% “There are some great images, and a couple of superb set pieces. But this is a film that absolutely could have used another rewrite and another 20 minutes of runtime.” – Nashville Scene Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Alien: Romulus (2024) 80% “ This is a film that takes some time out for wonder and awe. ” – Nashville Scene Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Red Rooms (2023) 96% “Though the movie isn’t exploring material all that different from a prime-time police procedural, it is engaging with the horror — and the rot that it represents — to an extent that 온라인카지노추천 simply wouldn’t bother. ” – Nashville Scene Oct 30, 2024 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% “There’s stuff in this film that will work on anyone, and some material that will work on everyone. But with the right kind of vibe, this is the kind of theatrical experience you treasure — one of those “remember when we saw that in a theater?” memories.” – Nashville Scene Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Problemista (2023) 86% “This is a film that understands that cruelty and care can be two facets of the same blade.” – Nashville Scene Jun 30, 2024 Full Review Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World (2023) 97% “Make no mistake: This film is filled with the festering anger that comes from being on the business end of economic inequality, and we see without explanation how Bobiţa is both mirror and machete. ” – Nashville Scene Jun 30, 2024 Full Review The Beast (2023) 86% “Bonello has a singular gift: He doesn’t make horror films, and yet he finds a way to make a scene of such unimaginable terror that it casts a tone on the whole rest of the movie.” – Nashville Scene Jun 30, 2024 Full Review Kalki 2898 AD (2024) 77% “A triumph of maximalism like an album by Queen, or a buffet at a restaurant where everything is good, Kalki 2898 A.D. is a lot.” – Nashville Scene Jun 30, 2024 Full Review Kinds of Kindness (2024) 71% “This kind of movie — an uncompromising art film about the unspeakable awfulness lurking just beneath everyone’s skin — doesn’t tend to happen on this scale very often.” – Nashville Scene Jun 30, 2024 Full Review The Watchers (2024) 33% “The Watchers never quite sticks the landing — it feels like it’s been cut back too far and then micro-retooled in several 10-second bursts.” – Nashville Scene Jun 30, 2024 Full Review In a Violent Nature (2024) 78% “When our killer starts cutting loose and winnowing down the cast, it becomes obvious that this film doesn’t really care about its artistic reach — it just wants to deliver baroque murderscapes that can outdo whatever else is currently in the zeitgeist.” – Nashville Scene Jun 30, 2024 Full Review Challengers (2024) 88% “Nobody does fleshy uncertainty like Luca Guadagnino. And he’s found a great, razor-sharp script that lends itself to his gifts for vibrancy and internalized drama, as well as longtime cinematographer Sayombhu Mukdeeprom’s artistry with light. ” – Nashville Scene Jun 30, 2024 Full Review The People's Joker (2022) 96% “If you look beyond the Smylex gas and the Lorne Michaels megalomania and the organized systems designed to stratify and control individual thought, The People’s Joker is still a visceral and visionary origin story.” – Nashville Scene Jun 30, 2024 Full Review The Strangler (1970) 100% “The fact that Paul Vecchiali made this in 1970 is a retroactive challenge to all transgressive cinema, both to take more chances and also to be this rousingly entertaining.” – Nashville Scene Nov 29, 2023 Full Review Occupied City (2023) 72% “Occupied City is probably too experimental for mainstream attention, but it’s a remarkable piece of work.” – Nashville Scene Nov 22, 2023 Full Review Orlando, My Political Biography (2023) 94% “This is a deeply funny and moving work of trans liberation.” – Nashville Scene Nov 22, 2023 Full Review Napoleon (2023) 58% “As he does in period pieces (both past and future), Scott finds healthy tonal variety, adept in grandeur and leavening undercutting. ” – Nashville Scene Nov 22, 2023 Full Review Where the Devil Roams (2023) 100% “Nothing else quite had the look of this film, like a burnished object kept in sackcloth and secrets, and John Adams and Toby Poser both deliver haunting performances that stick with you.” – Nashville Scene Nov 22, 2023 Full Review T-Blockers (2023) 100% “T Blockers digs deep into The Faculty/Stepford Wives territory, but in the realm of toxic masculinity.” – Nashville Scene Nov 22, 2023 Full Review
