Expanding (United States)
Scarlet
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: I applaud Hosoda’s desire to heal rather than harm, but Claudius probably isn’t the literary figure for that pursuit. How he brings it to life is gorgeous, though.
Limited (United States)
By Design
- Excerpt: Amanda Kramer’s comic body-swapping fantasy is precise, mannered, and warmly kooky.
The Mortuary Assistant
Sebastian Zavala @ LoudAndClearReviews.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: The video game […] does work as a creepy, atmospheric and frequently scary story. Its film adaptation, unfortunately, lacks all the atmosphere, coherence, believability and – of course – interactivity of the final product.

33 Photos From The Ghetto
Dennis Schwartz @ dennisschwartzreviews
- Excerpt: The film is needed as more proof of the Holocaust.
98th Oscar-Nominated Shorts: Documentary
The Best Summer
Gregory Carlson @ southpawfilmworks.net
Frank & Louis
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Kingsley Ben-Adir and Rob Morgan lead ‘Frank & Louis’, a delicate two-hander about an incarcerated man caring for a fellow prisoner with Alzheimer’s, built around a powerful conceit about finding purpose through care.
The Invite
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: ‘The Invite’ from Olivia Wilde is a wildly funny swinger comedy that explores how relationships open, close, and end in hilarious and heartfelt ways. Seth Rogan, Olivia Wilde, Penelope Cruz, and Edward Norton are all fantastic.
The Moment
Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: The Moment may not be as effective a mockumentary as something like This is Spinal Tap, but it still has enough memorable moments to make it worth seeing for both fans and non-fans alike.
Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: What we have here is a delightful and thoughtful delectation on the eternal struggle between art and commerce, and yes, the irony of making a film about an artist who doesn’t want to compromise to reach a wider audience doing just that.
Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: I couldn’t have picked singer Charli XCX out of a lineup before this faux documentary, but it makes her pop-stardom crisis oddly compelling and occasionally funny.
Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: A huge pop star goes all Spinal Tap in her movie. It doesn’t work.
The President’s Cake
Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: Brimming with emotion and political relevance.
Solo Mio
Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: A sweet and swoon-worthy romance that lifts your spirits.
Teacher’s Pet
Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: Offers multiple shocks while also saying something poignant about the power of the written word.

The History of Sound
Bavner Donaldo @ Cinejour [Indonesian]
- Excerpt: The History of Sound is a visually stunning film with beautiful cinematography and captivating score, but fails to present a substantial narrative to support its title
Pillion
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: British writer/director Harry Lighton makes a startlingly assured feature debut, a most unconventional love story that is frankly sexual, surprisingly funny and ultimately moving…Melling has made Colin unforgettable
- Excerpt: Pillion is a rousingly successful debut feature for Harry Lighton as he portrays typical romantic strife in an atypical leather kink relationship.
The President’s Cake
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: We’re talking one hundred minutes of pure desperation, exploitation, sexual abuse, indoctrination, and authority overreach. These kids might not fully understand the scope of what’s happening around them, but we certainly do.
2024 Films
The Thinking Game
Bavner Donaldo @ Cinejour [Indonesian]
- Excerpt: A worthy tribute to a visionary who changed the way we view artificial intelligence and its potential to solve world problems.
