Blue Heron
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Writer/director Sophy Romvari’s feature debut is based on her own experience and she’s created a uniquely effective device to construct her film…a wistful reflection on a painful family event.
Erupcja
Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage
- Excerpt: We have fun with the ladies. Suffer the disappointment of their significant others. And find solace in Nel and Rob’s mutual desire to keep orbiting Bethany despite the heat. Sometimes we become too mesmerized to remember to run.
I Swear
Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: Hopefully those that visit this will do so with an open mind and clear eyes, willing to come to their own conclusions separate from all the uproar that surrounded it.
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: ‘I Swear’, Kirk Jones’ biographical account of Tourette’s advocate John Davidson, is a moving and often very funny drama that finds compassion in contradiction, anchored by a breakout performance from Robert Aramayo.
King in the Land of Princess
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: “King in the Land of Princess” succeeds both as a documentary-like piece and as a drama, with its central comment presented in a clear and effective manner, while the acting definitely stands out. At the same time, the combination of the two approaches occasionally falters, particularly in the onstage segments, which demand a certain familiarity with the musical and performative style. Overall, however, the result is positive, with the story leaving a lasting impression.
Mother Mary
Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: David Lowery has never lacked ambition, and so the North Texas product aims for a great many things with Mother Mary. His latest film means to be a study of a friendship suffocated by one person’s global fame, a body-horror exercise like The Substance, a commentary on pop-music megastardom, a metaphysical meditation on the afterlife, a story about a fashion designer making a dress under a tight deadline, and an evocation of what Taylor Swift’s Eras tour would have looked like to someone tripping balls on bad shrooms.
- Excerpt: “Mother Mary” gets some points for the singular vision of writer/director David Lowery, striking images, and game performances by the supremely talented Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel, but not as many as it needs to overcome its pretentiousness, its pointlessness, and, worst of all, its ultimate emptiness. It wants so badly to be provocative and artistic but it is just boring.
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: David Lowery’s hypnotic ‘Mother Mary‘ is a breakup song filtered through the lens of a ghost story, mounted with spectacular production elements and stitched together with unreal performances from Michaela Cole and Anne Hathaway.
Nukkad Naatak
Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood
Omaha
Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: The problem is that this feels as though its central purpose is to make us feel bad.
Power Ballad
- Excerpt: John Carney’s Musical Dramedy Never Finds the Right Groove
Scream 7
Jeff Schaefer @ The Marquee Topic
The Travel Companion
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: It’s good and I like a lot of what it says, but there’s a sense that we’re meant to feel sorry for Simon that simply didn’t jive with my experience with what’s on-screen. It’s the tale of a misanthrope morphing into his final form.
Two Women
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Gonthier-Hyndman and Leboeuf are both fantastic as they seek to balance the scales of their lives. There’s no right answer and the film refuses to pretend the opposite.

D(e)ad
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: The laughs are plenty, the absurdity obvious, and the heart never far behind. The goofiness sells tickets, but the truth of its “acceptance isn’t forgiveness” messaging is what resonates.
A Dance with Rainbows
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: “A Dance with Rainbows” emerges as a grounded and emotionally resonant debut that prioritizes entertainment through simplicity, while still retaining elements, and particularly commentary, that allow it to be more than a simple mainstream work. As a feature debut, it is definitely promising.
Dopamine
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: Starring Angga Yunanda and Shenina Cinnamon, the movie explores what happens when desperation meets temptation, as a struggling couple discovers a suitcase full of money next to a dead body. But is it salvation or the beginning of their downfall?
My Undesirable Friends: Part I – Last Air in Moscow
- Excerpt: Over the course of a riveting, inspiring, but also terrifying five and a half hours, My Undesirable Friends: Part I – Last Air in Moscow shows us how these journalists, mostly young women, refuse to back down even in the face of unrelenting fascism.
Poon
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: Moreover, certain aspects of the dialogue and presentation occasionally lean toward the style of television drama. Still, these minor shortcomings do not detract from the overall impression. “Poon” ultimately stands as a well-acted, visually compelling, and engaging work that remains gripping from start to finish.
2024 Films
Suzzanna: The Queen of Black Magic
Bavner Donaldo @ Cinejour [Indonesian]
- Excerpt: Although the interview presentation feels makeshift, this documentary still provides another color in celebrating the timeless Indonesian film legend.
