Americana
Jeff Schaefer @ The Marquee Topic
- Excerpt: Tony Tost’s Americana is a clear-eyed indictment of the romanticized modern west featuring a cast of characters all looking to cash in on black market Native American artifacts to get out of their dusty South Dakotan town.
Hijra
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: Overall, “Hijra” emerges as a well-crafted work, marked by strong direction, accomplished performances, and a layered approach that intertwines realism with symbolic meaning.
How Dare You?
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
Jimmy and Stiggs
A Little Prayer
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: MacLachlan [isn’t] setting up a list of excuses for his characters to hide behind. [He] proves how we must take personal responsibility for our actions regardless of the suffering, sacrifice, or self-loathing that contributes to them.
Lurker
Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: Why Eve Harrington was a piker compared to Matthew Morning, played with creepy brilliance by Theodore Pellerin.
Misericordia
Gregory Carlson @ southpawfilmworks.net
Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: You should probably treat the Quays’ work as a companion to Schulz’s novel rather than a replacement for it. Or you can simply enjoy the artistry by letting its horror-fueled hallucination wash over you like I did.
Stranger Eyes
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Our assumption [is] that Bo would take precedence above everything else. [But] the script is more interested in how our self-imposed surveillance states allow us to both find escape from our troubles and create new ones.
The Thursday Murder Club
Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: It operates at an even keel, has a story that is dense but absorbing enough to hold our attention, and stars actors that seem to enjoy each other’s company.
2024 Films
Hidden Face
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: Although not flawless under close scrutiny, “Hidden Face” is ultimately titillating, engaging, stylishly shot and performed, standing as a prime example of the modern erotic thriller.
