Sebastian (2024) 75% 2/5 “Sebastian gradually transforms into something more substantial when reaching towards a point about the cross-generational relaying of queer histories, but ultimately is too preoccupied with constructing a shallow character study.” – Little White Lies Apr 3, 2025 Full Review Two Strangers Trying Not to Kill Each Other (2024) 3/5 “The impact of the long, unedited takes making up the film’s last few moments attest to a real sense of honesty and candour, leaning into complex questions that lack straightforward solutions.” – Little White Lies Mar 20, 2025 Full Review To a Land Unknown (2024) 97% 4/5 “The film is at its most compelling when it confronts the need for survival; when it lays bare the complex set of circumstances that lead migrants to turn on one another.” – Little White Lies Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Love Hurts (2025) 19% 1/5 “The action takes place against corporate and real estate showroom sets that are so sparse, constantly reminding us that this is a world that’s not lived in.” – Little White Lies Feb 7, 2025 Full Review Since Yesterday: The Untold Story of Scotland's Girl Bands (2024) “It’s energetic, lively and an impactful testament to these women’s boldness and perseverance.” – Little White Lies Jan 21, 2025 Full Review Merchant Ivory (2023) 95% 3/5 “Stephen Soucy’s affectionate yet scattershot documentary on this 40-year partnership explores the overlap between the two as lovers and as collaborators...” – Little White Lies Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Grand Theft Hamlet (2024) 93% 4/5 “... What ultimately stays with you is the actor duo’s commendable ability to find inspiration and poetic gravitas in silliness, horseplay and tomfoolery, even (and especially) in the darkest of times.” – Little White Lies Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Layla (2024) 87% 2/5 “Amrou Al-Kadhi’s debut trades in any unique qualities that a queer film can exhibit in terms of form and content, with the tried and tested formula of the palatable, cheesy odd couple romance.” – Little White Lies Dec 11, 2024 Full Review A Sudden Glimpse to Deeper Things (2024) 100% 3/5 “As much as this is an ode to an artist neglected by the annals of mainstream art history, it’s also about another artist’s personal fixation, affinity, and desire to get as close as possible to their subject.” – Little White Lies Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Milisuthando (2023) 93% 4/5 “Combining a treasure trove of archive footage, home movies and personal photographs to tell the history of the Transkei, Milisuthando is also a clear love letter to the filmmaker’s own family.” – Little White Lies Oct 18, 2024 Full Review Lilies Not for Me (2024) “This is a confident debut, clearly extensively researched, put together with great care and makes for a welcome addition to the canon of queer period dramas.” – Little White Lies Aug 29, 2024 Full Review *smiles and kisses you* (2024) “A man's complicated relationship with an AI-powered doll is the subject of this oddly moving yet morally grey documentary.” – Little White Lies Aug 21, 2024 Full Review Alma's Rainbow (1994) 83% 4/5 “A lovely, tactile film with such a nuanced depiction of the ever-shifting tides of mother/daughter dynamics, overflowing with love and care as much as it is with a vibrant colour palette and gorgeous textures.” – Little White Lies Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Àma Gloria (2023) 100% 4/5 “The mixed media technique cuts through the film’s naturalism to bring forth something felt and ineffable, akin to the rich, vivid worlds within children’s imaginations, as well as the haziness with which we recall childhood memories.” – Little White Lies Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Four Little Adults (2023) 2/5 “The film is underscored by endearing and comedic moments that keep it from falling flat, but it’s ultimately challenging to see beyond the structurally rote contrivances on display.” – Little White Lies Jun 6, 2024 Full Review Give Me Pity! (2022) 87% 3/5 “A unique vision, but sadly less than the sum of its parts.” – Little White Lies Nov 11, 2023 Full Review 20 Days in Mariupol (2023) 100% 3/5 “Gruesome. A brave piece of frontline journalism.” – Little White Lies Oct 5, 2023 Full Review Once Upon a Time in Uganda (2021) 95% 3/5 “Comes together as an effusive love letter to the Wakaliwood king, despite not always keeping the focus on the more germane perspective.” – Little White Lies Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Baan (2023) 71% “Some clunky dialogue choices slightly spoil this effect, but Teles demonstrates great confidence in crafting an artful, aptly disorienting and deeply relatable journey through her protagonist’s emotions.” – Little White Lies Aug 10, 2023 Full Review Sweet Dreams (2023) 100% “Sweet Dreams is gorgeously shot, masterfully composed and tightly framed within an Academy aspect ratio, its stylised storytelling never ceasing to captivate.” – Little White Lies Aug 8, 2023 Full Review KOKOMO CITY (2023) 99% 4/5 “An impressively stylish debut, now more vital than ever.” – Little White Lies Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Medusa (2021) 84% 3/5 “Albeit lacking in subtlety, this is a stylish film that revels in its ardent political commentary.” – Little White Lies Jul 12, 2023 Full Review Shabu (2021) 91% 3/5 “Vivid! Fun! Uplifting! Light!” – Little White Lies Jul 5, 2023 Full Review The Damned Don't Cry (2022) 90% 3/5 “A deeply sympathetic dual portrait powered by arresting performances.” – Little White Lies Jul 4, 2023 Full Review No Hard Feelings (2023) 70% 2/5 “Let the record show that I wanted to enjoy this.” – Little White Lies Jun 22, 2023 Full Review
