B
“Delighting in hitting its barn door-sized targets, “The Good Boss” works best when writer/director Fernando León de Aranoa uses a subtler hand to dismantle the illusion of solidarity between employer and employee.” –

C-
“This meat and potatoes western delivers what’s promised on the box and nothing more. While there’s nothing wrong with a no-fuss oater, the lumbering ‘Yellowstone City’ strains at a stateliness far beyond the reach of its nuts and bolts script.” –

“If satisfaction in life can’t be willed into existence, and that we’re at the mercy of the whims of whatever greater powers are bartering for our mortal souls, then “The Woodcutter Story” might be the most terrifying movie of the year.” –

Sons of Ramses (2022)
B+
“"Sons of Ramses” follows a man learning to let his guard down, and Leklou plays it invisibly, much in the same way that you don’t truly see a flower until it’s fully bloomed. His performance is tender, tough, and fascinating to watch unfold.” –

About Joan (2022)

C
“"About Joan" struggles with what kind of movie it wants to be. The films first-person storytelling device is dropped after the first act. Aside from a somewhat baffling and fantastical sex sequence involving a squid, its an intimate drama.” –
