The Luckiest Man in America (2024) 66% 4/5 “Oliveros and Briggs have imbued The Luckiest Man in American with the oddity such a story deserves, the surreality of how a person just wins money playing in this very bizarre and nonsensical manner.” – ScreenAnarchy Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Can I Get a Witness? (2024) 67% 4/5 “With Can I Get A Witness?, piece by piece, Fleming and her cast construct this fable as a framing for how we might understand our own current turbulent times, if we can look at what might be possible. ” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Disposable Humanity (2025) 4/5 “Mitchell crafts a strong story, harrowing in its history and contemporary implications, at once a kind of grassroots advocacy for forgotten voices, a study in how history is shaped and presented.” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 6, 2025 Full Review Love Hurts (2025) 19% 2.5/5 “If an action film is going to have a weak story, there needs to be enough action to make up for it, and enough comedy to fill in the blanks. Love Hurts doesn't quite deliver enough.” – ScreenAnarchy Feb 6, 2025 Full Review The End (2024) 56% 3.5/5 “While not always successful, Oppenheimer and his team, and especially his cast, create a fascinating though exercise, with song, that encourages self-examination on how we would behave if we survived at the end of the world.” – ScreenAnarchy Dec 10, 2024 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% 2/5 “Overall, the film feels more like an quick introduction to someone who only knows Dylan songs; which might be fine, but if you're looking for substance, well, there's another film out there that is more up your alley.” – ScreenAnarchy Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Never Look Away (2024) 93% 4/5 “The marriage of a filmmaker like Lawless, herself a trailblazer, with a subject such as Moth, whose life was lead fearlessly, recklessly, dangerously, and unapologetically, it's not hard to get swept up in the adrenaline.” – ScreenAnarchy Nov 21, 2024 Full Review Spirit in the Blood (2024) 3/5 “Part coming of age story, part supernatural, part romance, Spirit in the Blood follows a somewhat familiar path with a different eye, asking us to rethink how we might view certain characters that are often presented without depth in horror films. ” – ScreenAnarchy Oct 31, 2024 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% 3/5 “ Venom: The Last Dance is perhaps not as strong as the previous entry, but it keeps its focus on the best parts (Tom Hardy's incredible performance), and at least at under 2 hours, it does not overstay its welcome, which is refreshing.” – ScreenAnarchy Oct 24, 2024 Full Review Blink Twice (2024) 75% 4/5 “Blink Twice is more than just a thriller with a message. It's beautiful and sardonic, often cruel, never boring, perhaps slightly narrow in its focus, but nonetheless hits its idea home with both a bullet and a bludgeon. ” – ScreenAnarchy Aug 23, 2024 Full Review Paris is in Harlem (2022) 100% 4/5 “Paris in Harlem combines a cinema verité with an intimate drama that asks us to think about our own mosaic: our colleagues, friends, lovers, and our streets, our neighbourhood, our city, and the constant crisis under which we exist.” – ScreenAnarchy Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Foil (2023) 3/5 “Foil is rough around its edges, but it has a good heart and a healthy dose of good-natured self-reflection, with a clever spin on alien conspiracy theories, and how friendships can get lost and found again in those awkward post-high school years.” – ScreenAnarchy May 8, 2024 Full Review Abigail (2024) 83% 3/5 “You'd likely get more out of Abigail the less you knew in advance. Still, the film is mostly a smart and enjoyable ride, with snapping dialogue, well-rounded characters, some fun action and gory kills, to make it worth your time.” – ScreenAnarchy Apr 18, 2024 Full Review All You Need Is Death (2023) 87% 4/5 “All You Need Is Death immediately thrusts its audience into a place of disquiet and discomfort, its rough and unflinching camera and microphone tuned to that proverbial station at the end of the dial where the ancient allows the modern to drag it forward.” – ScreenAnarchy Apr 8, 2024 Full Review Wicked Little Letters (2023) 80% 3.5/5 “Combining some rather crude and creative language, and an amusing caper to solve, with terrific performances, and Wicked Little Letters manages to find more depth and nuance that the average British period comedy.” – ScreenAnarchy Apr 3, 2024 Full Review You'll Never Find Me (2023) 81% 3/5 “You'll Never Find Me takes some bold leaps in its reimagining of isolation horror, whether it's in who the villain is, what true isolation means, and how to lay out the dread and the tension, to make the audience pay attention to details.” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Drive-Away Dolls (2024) 63% 3/5 “Drive-Away Dolls is fun enough, charming enough, clever enough, and luckily does not take itself too seriously in its road trip of sexual pleasure, secret revelations, and a not too subtle f-you to southern US conservative politics.” – ScreenAnarchy Feb 23, 2024 Full Review Concrete Valley (2022) 3.5/5 “Concrete Valley asks it audience to take time with the characters, the space they occupy, and their thoughts and emotions that are freely floating in this in-between existence, between who they were, and who they will be allowed to become.” – ScreenAnarchy Feb 23, 2024 Full Review Strange Frame: Love & Sax (2012) “Strange Frame is a rare film: inspiration by other forms is noticeable, but it is not merely repetition or homage. It is a dreamscape, one that does not shy aware from the ugly, yet celebrates the beautiful.” – ScreenAnarchy Jan 31, 2024 Full Review The Color Purple (2023) 81% 3.5/5 “While it has lost some of the queerness and darkness that makes the original book and film layered and rich, the musical opts for colour, optimism and forgiving resolution. ” – ScreenAnarchy Jan 16, 2024 Full Review Anselm (2023) 98% 3/5 “Anselm is certainly an engaging film, both for those familiar with and new to the artist. The 3D option does its job to immerse the viewed in the artist's world, helping us to feel the materiality of artistic construction.” – ScreenAnarchy Jan 16, 2024 Full Review Blast of Silence (1961) 83% 4/5 “The kind of magic that come out of this scrappy indie filmmaker is fully on display in Blast of Silence. Both an homage to and perhaps something of a criticism of noir and its cynicism, a distillation of its essential components into a fractal poem.” – ScreenAnarchy Jan 16, 2024 Full Review All of Us Strangers (2023) 96% 4/5 “Sentimental with being cloying, serious without just the right touches of whimsy, joyful and yet knowing the sadness that comes with joy, All of Us Strangers is a deeply affective film.” – ScreenAnarchy Jan 16, 2024 Full Review Origin (2023) 81% 5/5 “DuVernay has never shied away from stories that are intelligent, intimate, and complex. Origin weaves together these ideas into a statement that speaks as much to our minds as it does our hearts.” – ScreenAnarchy Jan 16, 2024 Full Review Everyone Will Burn (2021) 83% 2.5/5 “Everyone will Burn has something to recommend - a powerful opening, terrific performances, and glorious colour. However, its story becomes too convoluted and, in the end, incomprehensible to make its horror palpable and enjoyable.” – ScreenAnarchy Dec 1, 2023 Full Review
