Cut!
Sarah E Boslaugh @ The Arts STL
- Excerpt: A lot of the humor in Cut! (Corten!) lies in the difference between the film Ferrer the director is making, which knows exactly what it’s doing, and Marcos’ own ineptitude as a filmmaker, of which he remains blissfully unaware.
Queer Shorts 1: Sublime Journeys
Sarah E Boslaugh @ The Arts STL
- Excerpt: Like all the best road trip movies, David Luis Perez’s “Living Our Lives” (33 min.) involves both a real and a metaphorical journey.
Queer Shorts 2: Outside the Comfort Zone
Sarah E Boslaugh @ The Arts STL
- Excerpt: Welcome to the world of John E. Kilberg’s “Pierce Me” (10 min.), an ode to the magic of summer nights in the city and the good things that can come from taking a chance.
San Francisco Silent Film Festival 2022
- Excerpt: Rumors of the death of silent cinema are greatly exaggerated.
Sirens
Sarah E Boslaugh @ The Arts STL
- Excerpt: Rita Baghdadi’s documentary Sirens (April 30, 6:15 pm) is about several things: Slave to Sirens as the first metal band in the Middle East, not to mention an all-female metal band; the current situation in Lebanon and how it shapes people’s lives (the band is not a favorite with religious authorities); and above all the story of Lilas and Shery navigating a world that expects them to embrace conventional female roles.
The Therapy
Sarah E Boslaugh @ The Arts STL
- Excerpt: Landsman, who had extraordinary access to footage of actual therapy sessions, follows the stories of two men in conversion therapy.
Two Eyes
Sarah E Boslaugh @ The Arts STL
- Excerpt: The expression “two eyes” is explained by one character to mean being able to see the world both as a woman and as a man, an ability which should be celebrated rather than condemned. Each segment of Two Eyes explores a story of someone with that ability, and the three stories are tied together to create a sort of collective portrait of people who did not conform to contemporary expectations and yet found ways to thrive in the world.

Betty Jo Tucker @ ReelTalk Movie Reviews
- Excerpt: I watched Bruce Willis in Fortress: Sniper’s Eye this weekend and felt worried about him. He didn’t seem like the actor we have seen in so many wonderful films.
