Liquor Bank (2025) 100% ““‘Liquor Bank’ is a fine example of economical indie filmmaking.”” – Vague Visages Apr 14, 2025 Full Review Step Back, Doors Closing (2024) 100% “"'Step Back, Doors Closing' is essential viewing for Gen Z movie lovers, Washington D.C. natives and anyone who remains entranced by Linklater's 'Before Sunrise.'"” – Vague Visages Mar 4, 2025 Full Review The Buildout (2024) 82% ““With a brisk running time of approximately 64 minutes, ‘The Buildout’ showcases a storyteller in harmony with a specific cinematic vision about life, death, trauma and healing through friendship.”” – Vague Visages Feb 26, 2025 Full Review The Last Video Store (2023) 75% ““‘The Last Video Store’ is a nostalgic horror production that talks the talk and walks the walk.”” – Vague Visages Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Stockade (2023) “"'Stockade' will polarize viewers with its flimsy cultural commentaries."” – Vague Visages Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Y2K (2024) 42% ““I imagine that Mooney most likely pitched ‘Y2K’ as a mash-up of ‘Superbad’ and current trends, and that’s exactly how it goes down — a bunch of derivative gags in a feature film format for nostalgic pop culture consumers."” – Vague Visages Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Dead Before They Wake (2025) “"Crane and Shepka's exploration of the human condition in 'Dead Before They Wake' justifies a second watch, though their cinematography could use some work the next time around, in terms of establishing a specific style."” – Vague Visages Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Blackwater Lane (2024) 11% “"'Blackwater Lane' suffers mightily from pacing issues, uninspired acting and a flimsy screenplay."” – Vague Visages Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story (2024) 95% ““Even though ‘Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story’ might leave fans wanting more, Klein’s documentary will presumably be the go-to Minnelli doc for years to come, based on the subject’s participation and an interview cast of high-profile names.”” – Vague Visages Jan 24, 2025 Full Review Endless Summer Syndrome (2024) 85% “"The narrative truth in 'Endless Summer Syndrome' lies in what goes unsaid and what's just outside the frame."” – Vague Visages Jan 20, 2025 Full Review The Damned (2024) 91% ““‘The Damned’ is a cerebral film that should be analyzed in film theory courses.”” – Vague Visages Jan 15, 2025 Full Review Dream Team (2024) ““I don’t need ‘Dream Team’ to make sense; it’s an art film with relevant sociopolitical themes and accessible humor. But I do want to see technical filmmaking improvements — better editing, better acting — from one movie to the next…”” – Vague Visages Jan 10, 2025 Full Review Séance (2024) 100% ““‘Séance’ doesn’t quite match the thrills of the most trendy psychological horror flicks, yet its mature themes will resonate with adult viewers and anyone struggling to move on from the past.”” – Vague Visages Dec 31, 2024 Full Review Torched - The Story of the Austin Torch (2024) ““As a sports documentary, ‘Torched’ succeeds by establishing and celebrating the DIY culture of both Austin, Texas and the featured frisbee squad.”” – Vague Visages Aug 23, 2024 Full Review Scrap (2022) 98% ““‘Scrap,’ the feature directorial debut from actress Vivian Kerr, is yet another festival darling that is indeed charming, but one that doesn’t quite pack a punch with its overall visual design and technical execution.”” – Vague Visages Aug 8, 2024 Full Review What Remains (2022) 88% ““‘What Remains’ is a low-key stylish film about human potential and the elevation of consciousness, though Huang keeps the audience trapped in a dark and uncomfortable place with his cryptic storytelling.”” – Vague Visages Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Chestnut (2023) 50% ““Director Jac Cron shows major filmmaking potential with her feature debut, though the underdeveloped screenplay will presumably irritate the casual moviegoer.”” – Vague Visages Jul 24, 2024 Full Review Insane Like Me? (2024) ““‘Insane Like Me?,’ a vampire thriller with little visual style, relies on decent lead performances to make up for a clunky screenplay.”” – Vague Visages Jul 18, 2024 Full Review Sorry/Not Sorry (2023) 82% ““Sorry/Not Sorry’ is fascinating with its exploration of ethics, but Mones and Suh’s documentary essentially plays out like a CliffsNotes version of The New York Times’ 2017 report about Louis C.K.’s sexual misconduct.”” – Vague Visages Jul 15, 2024 Full Review Edge of Everything (2023) 67% “"'Edge of Everything' straddles the line of original storytelling and coming-of-age tropes like its teenage protagonist straddles the line between adolescence and adulthood."” – Vague Visages Jul 1, 2024 Full Review Linda Perry: Let It Die Here (2024) 100% “"'Linda Perry: Let It Die Here' is a moving study of female self-empowerment and perseverance."” – Vague Visages Jun 18, 2024 Full Review Enea (2023) 67% ““‘Enea’ is full of rich character development, yet the protagonists and antiheroes seem like archetypal figures dropped into a real world setting inhabited by naturalistic side players.”” – Vague Visages Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Adagio (2023) 63% ““Somewhat epic like Michael Mann’s ‘Heat’ (1995) and political in nature like Sollima’s underrated series ‘ZeroZeroZero’ (2020), ‘Adagio’ executes its brutal messaging through cinematographer Paolo Carnera’s observant visual language.”” – Vague Visages Jun 5, 2024 Full Review Pandemonium (2023) 79% ““Quarxx guides the audience along through a French nightmare tale in ‘Pandemonium’ but doesn’t seem fully invested in what’s scary beyond the surface-level gore. He swings for the fences and falls on home plate in the process.”” – Vague Visages Jun 4, 2024 Full Review There's Still Tomorrow (2023) 89% ““‘There’s Still Tomorrow,’ the feature directorial debut by Italian actress Paola Cortellesi, betrays traditional World War II-era films with its unique style and subversion.”” – Vague Visages May 30, 2024 Full Review
