Last Breath (2025)

4/5
“The deep, dark subaqueous world becomes the stage for a gripping survival drama. Parkinson and cinematographer Nick Remy Matthews understand this underworld realm as a place of gauzy slowness where dread unfolds at a measured pace.” –

5/5
“Hale County, This Morning This Evening announced a gifted photographer driven by sensitivity to his subjects’ dignity. Accordingly, Nickel Boys miraculously goes against the grain of the story’s devastating trajectory by leading with the same loving eye.” –

“What begins as a crime thriller ends as a transfixing meditation on our personal need for recognition and the difficulty of finding this for ourselves or providing that for others. ” –

Babes (2024)

4/5
“Pamela Adlon’s directorial debut deftly juggles fast-paced anecdotal comedy with rich, moving character work, while upending pregnancy myths with the ferocity of a woman stamping on her oppressive breast pump.” –

Harvest (2024)
55%
B
“Although made up of many mesmerizing moving parts, Harvest ends up as feeling less than the sum of these. There are sparks of what makes an Athina Rachel Tsangari film great within this impressionistic period fable, even if it never fully takes the blaze.” –

And Their Children After Them (2024)

B+
“A tight and unshowy focus on the small conflicts of an ordinary life is given cinematic scope, with an emotional heft that sneaks up in the lull between expectation and disappointment.” –

Kill the Jockey (2024)

B-
“An elusive and sometimes frustrating watch. It elides interpretation in ways both intentional and undercooked, flirts with a greatness that isn’t fully earned, yet it has some glorious moments and never unseats the viewer. ” –

“Each shot by Ranabir Das in this gorgeous and absorbing film has been composed to have the skin-prickling effect of a photograph taken by someone with a deep and attentive care for their subject.” –

To a Land Unknown (2024)
97%
A-
“To a Land Unknown is a tour-de-force of empathic storytelling, with its genre narrative bursting with an overabundance of humanity. The unexpected, far-away place that Said references is expressed fully, as both a geographical reality and a soul in exile.” –
