Misericordia (2024) 95% 4/5 “Though it starts out slow, it becomes a galvanizing work by a master director that reminds us of film's unique power to challenge, disturb, and ultimately transform our understanding of what it means to be an imperfectly lustful human being. ” – Director's Club Apr 11, 2025 Full Review The Shrouds (2024) 73% 4.5/5 “One of Cronenberg's best in quite a while. The Shrouds is a deeply compelling and personal meditation on mortality from a filmmaker who has spent his career examining the relationship between technology, intimacy, and the complicated human psyche.” – Director's Club Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Secret Mall Apartment (2024) 100% 3.5/5 “A thoroughly engaging documentary with a lot on its mind while also being consistently entertaining. Reminds us that sometimes the most profound artistic statements happen in the spaces no one thought to look.” – Director's Club Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Darkest Miriam (2024) 85% 4.5/5 “Like a library itself, Darkest Miriam creates a welcoming space where conflicted feelings of being lonely and imperfectly human are given the attention and compassion each of us deserves. Lower is extraordinary. This is my favorite film of 2025 so far.” – Director's Club Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Eric LaRue (2023) 71% 4/5 “Eric LaRue is one of the year’s best films containing a central performance from Greer that is a career highlight. Shannon's directorial debut is assured, challenging and thought-provoking in all the right ways.” – Director's Club Apr 1, 2025 Full Review MaXXXine (2024) 72% 2/5 “As a fan of the other two entries, especially Pearl, I was shocked at how little Maxxxine has to offer as a conclusion to the Mia Goth show. We could’ve simply been satisfied with a two-parter and that lingering closing credits image of Pearl’s smile.” – Director's Club Jul 16, 2024 Full Review In a Violent Nature (2024) 78% 1.5/5 “If the attempt was to make a boring horror film, then the filmmaker succeeded. Otherwise, it's tedious, bland and even the conceit is abandoned by the final act. Yes, there's one great kill but that's about the only moment that's memorable.” – Director's Club Jul 16, 2024 Full Review Longlegs (2024) 86% 2/5 “This movie has been done so many times before - think Angel Heart, Seven, Exorcist III - that I was taken aback by how little innovation there was throughout from a talent like Perkins. Uninvolving with a reveal that left me bewildered rather than shocked” – Director's Club Jul 16, 2024 Full Review Robot Dreams (2023) 98% 4/5 “Make it the cult hit it deserves to be. It’s a moving experience all about overcoming loss, and that is an emotion that can certainly resonate across generations. I can almost guarantee, the smile will not leave your face throughout the entire film.” – Director's Club Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Kinds of Kindness (2024) 71% 3.5/5 “Mixed positive here despite its ideas about control and chaos. This is a wild anomaly soaked in misanthropy that isn’t entirely satisfying in the end. Plemons really shines throughout though, providing distinguishably flawed characters, lost and broken.” – Director's Club Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Chestnut (2023) 50% 2.5/5 “Dyer is great but the overall effect is that of a morning hangover haze without the nighttime fun that precedes it. Which is strange given that there are many bar scenes and interactions. I was left wanting so much more by the end.” – Director's Club Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Janet Planet (2023) 85% 4.5/5 “It’s hard not to think about Aftersun and Ladybird as done by Kelly Reichardt here. The magical realism isn’t a part of this world but the offbeat behavior of Gerwig and the hesitant, contemplative pace of Reichardt is consistent. One of the year's best.” – Director's Club Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Ghostlight (2024) 99% 4.5/5 “One of the year's most satisfying stories. You are guaranteed to be moved by the performances alone. Every gesture feels genuine. Thompson and O’Sullivan deserve the highest of praise for making a crowd-pleaser that never succumbs to manipulation.” – Director's Club Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Good One (2024) 98% 3/5 “Lily Collias as Sam is someone to watch. LeGros is reliably great. Their dynamic makes this special. It ends up as a good film without question. Perhaps the restlessness I felt was deliberate to create a sense of tension, the kind that Sam is dealing with” – Director's Club Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Thelma (2024) 98% 3.5/5 “Thoroughly entertained by the majority of it. It definitely fits rather too neatly into the crowd-pleasing Sundance indie dramedy formula, but Squibb really makes this worthwhile regardless. It's a joy just to watch her play the role of action hero.” – Director's Club Jun 10, 2024 Full Review The Remarkable Life of Ibelin (2024) 97% 4/5 “Bring Kleenex. Ibelin is a truly special documentary that emotionally envelopes you right from the beginning. More than just a tribute to Mats as a beautiful mind, it showcases that technology doesn’t always lead to something unhealthy, but necessary.” – Director's Club Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Cuckoo (2024) 79% 2.5/5 “Schafer is fully committed here. Stevens is a hoot. But by the end, I shrugged it off despite admiring its intent to go batshit crazy. Sadly, I simply felt disconnected and wished it had gone somewhere way more interesting than where it wound up.” – Director's Club Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Babes (2024) 88% 3.5/5 “That’ll do, babes. That’ll do. In all seriousness, Babes is often a very funny movie. Pure and simple. Pamela Adlon knows how to direct comedy better than most.” – Director's Club Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Sing Sing (2023) 97% 4.5/5 “A remarkable film that centers a deeper, important, and timely question: how do we create a more compassionate society especially for those who are incarcerated to avoid recidivism? Not to mention, the catharsis of artistic expression on display here.” – Director's Club Jun 10, 2024 Full Review The Last Stop in Yuma County (2023) 97% 4/5 “The Coen Brothers-esque execution positions itself as a story contained in a single location but then it takes some unexpected turns in how the narrative unfolds along with character evolution that is darkly funny, but also bleak and disturbing. ” – Director's Club Jun 10, 2024 Full Review I Saw the 온라인카지노추천 Glow (2024) 84% 4.5/5 “When it ended, my first thought was, “this is why I love movies, they saved my life but they’re also an easy way to escape reality, and that in of itself can become addictive.” Jane has made their best work to date with a final act that gave me chills.” – Director's Club Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Hundreds of Beavers (2022) 97% 4/5 “If you’re in the mood for something wildly unexpected and miss feeling like a kid watching Saturday Morning Cartoons, then look no further than the stunning achievement that is HOB. This is like Guy Maddin directing Looney Tunes with many LOL hijinks. ” – Director's Club Jun 10, 2024 Full Review The First Omen (2024) 83% 4/5 “A genuine surprise. This is how a prequel should be (aside from the final minutes). Nell Tiger Free is fully committed here and this should cement her status as one of the most intriguing actors in horror working today. ” – Director's Club Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Wicked Little Letters (2023) 80% 3.5/5 “If you're a fan of Colman and Buckley (and you should be), there are plenty of reasons to make time for this, especially since they have such a wonderful, combative rapport that is sometimes sad but mostly hilarious. ” – Director's Club Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Civil War (2024) 81% 2.5/5 “Garland's films continue to feel incomplete especially when it comes to wrapping them up in a satisfying way. Still, there are some great action set pieces and Dunst is excellent as always. ” – Director's Club Jun 10, 2024 Full Review
