6000 Waiting
- Excerpt: Step into the world of cerebral palsy, marvel at its inhabitants, then push for change.
Boorman and the Devil
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Boorman [hired] the up-and-coming Louise Fletcher to play Regan’s psychiatrist which was a very good thing for this documentary as she turns out to be its most hilarious interview subject, unafraid of saying anything…
Chronovisor
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: while the film largely takes place in hushed library settings shrouded in darkness except for the golden pools of light cast by green shaded lamps, there is nothing fusty about it as it delves into spatial time travel, Vatican secrecy and madness
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: It’s the kind of film that will surely find as many champions as detractors due to it being a cinematic representation of researching for your dissertation.
Come With Me
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Neither [Harvey nor Rossi are] interested in making Simon into a monster to be dismissed. They understand that his worth is in the complexity of the contradiction between his soft and caring heart and his tired and impressionable mind.
Filipiñana
- Excerpt: The feature debut from writer-director Rafael Manuel and an expansion of his 2020 short film of the same name, Filipiñana is a dispatch from ground zero of the class war: the luxurious country clubs of the Philippines and beyond.
Gandhari
Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood
Gu Shi
- Excerpt: “Gu Shi” is definitely demanding, particularly due to its slow pace, extensive narration and refusal to clearly distinguish reality from recollection or dream. At the same time, Amie Song manages to communicate the suffering created by buried histories and unspoken truths with considerable clarity. The interaction between family, memory and nature, the impressive audiovisual approach and the uniformly strong performances result in a very distinct arthouse debut, even if its meditative tendencies occasionally become tiring.
In the Hand of Dante
Jeff Schaefer @ The Marquee Topic
Legend of the White Dragon
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Somehow, it turns a premise about superheroes, superpowers, legends, and martial artists into a tedious experience.
Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World
Gregory Carlson @ southpawfilmworks.net
Mayday
Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: The action is good, the humor works, and – perhaps to the largest degree – Kenneth Branagh is a near revelation with his performance.
Nimrods
Jeff Schaefer @ The Marquee Topic
The Sun Never Sets
Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: Swanberg has proven in the past that his method of filmmaking can be insightful and entertaining, but that is not the case here. In The Sun Never Sets, his hands-off approach is a detriment to the flow of the film and the story as a whole, resulting in an experience that is far from what most viewers will want to go through.
To the Black
- Excerpt: Whether it goes up or blows up, he wants people to know what they have created. That kind of transparency is refreshing, and it makes us wish the film reflected that equally.

It’s Dorothy!
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: It’s Dorothy! ends with various people being asked to describe Dorothy Gale in one word. My choice would be “Dorothy Gale is…American”.
Raging
- Excerpt: Ryan Machado’s “Raging” turns silence, trauma and Sibuyan’s threatened landscape into a tense, symbolic Filipino slow burn
