Self Driver (2024)

“A Taxi Driver 21st century digital descent into a differently depraved reality. Economic crisis cinema crashes deeper into the low wage surveillance state in this ironically titled 'Self Driver' - driven or lured into the pseudo-independent workplace.” –

Liquor Bank (2025)

“Temptation, timing, and tough love. Condensing the emotional turmoil into this short film is daunting and commendable to say the least, but seems to beg for more.” –

“Ventures into the past while inevitably and in this case incidentally reflecting on troubling moral alongside military implications - and no less so in the case of Norway's past and conflicted, simultaneous battle of soil and soul present moment in time.” –

A Complete Unknown (2024)

“A Complete Unknown indeed. Audiences embracing the film may be bringing their own sentimental memory baggage into the theaters, perhaps turned on more by a perception that this is a musical than otherwise.” –

The Substance (2024)

“Feminist fatale toe to toe with pharma horror. With those instant gratification corporate motives pushing lucrative medical maintenance, instead of exceedingly less profitable cures. In other words, a medical monster movie preying offscreen on everyone.” –

The Order (2024)
92%
“A neo-western crime thriller serving up in this order, cult personality over politics. Rather than decisive illumination as to where this country is headed politically - a government with its own support of neo-nazis abroad militarily in the here and now.” –

Wolfs (2024)

“Noir gets a deep state makeover. And did I mention the wildly prophetic, astonishing plot twist addition of pager spyware, way before that digital genocidal scheme in this breaking news moment in time. Welcome to the 21st century US surveillance state.” –

Rebel Ridge (2024)

“A split personality, class conscious action thriller, the film at its core is insurrectionary cinema. questioning the deteriorating political, ethical and racist core of this country. And Pierre's action hero referencing Watergate, ties it all up tightly.” –

Skincare (2024)

“A neon lit neo-noir paradox stew of murder and mayhem mixed messages and metaphors alike that may be a true story in more ways than one. A Hollywood emperor has no clothes mass manipulation of audiences, along with the underbelly beast of capitalism.” –

“So what may all of this have to do with audience existence beyond the big screen - itself ironically a seeming psychological fortress. Namely younger generations that have only known endless war all their lives. And with no alternative political reality. ” –

Our (Almost Completely True) Love Story (2022)
“When Bette Davis said old age is not for sissies, she likely had in mind the acting world as well. And this film is a marvelous tribute to that, a defiant romance on and off screen between these long term lovers with a passion for acting and each other. ” –

Sharper (2023)
