SOUND OF FALLING is an intricately-woven story of a German farm house and its inhabitants throughout multiple generations. The film explores both the complexities of adolescence and inherited trauma/memory, as well as the cultural customs that are practiced through the years

MARTY SUPREME is an exhilarating, hilarious, and chaotic cautionary tale on pride, ambition, and greed that’s non-stop entertainment. Timothée Chalamet is phenomenal, capturing Marty’s naive innocence, confidence, and morality brilliantly. One of the best films of the year!

WICKED: FOR GOOD is an entertaining and magical culmination even with its flaws, which it has a few (pacing is a BIG one). Cynthia and Ariana are magnificent once again and the look and feel of Oz jumps-off the screen. The nostalgic moments were handled well too, in my opinion

RENTAL FAMILY is the feel-good movie of the year! A beautiful and touching story about humanity and the power of the relationships we form with others and their immense impact. Brendan Fraser gives a heartwarming performance that captures the essence of the film perfectly

WAKE UP DEAD MAN: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY is a fun, macabre murder mystery that’s largely-carried by Josh O’Connor’s stellar performance (and Craig’s Blanc as always). It’s a violent take-down of religion filled with more timely and witty charactersc topics, dialogue and discussion

A MERRY LITTLE EX-MAS kicks-off Netflix‘s holiday “Hallmark movie” season; and while it’s nice to see Alicia Silverstone back on the screen, there’s far too few memorable moments along the way. While it plays-into its cheesiness and charm, it does so with little payoff sadly

ETERNITY is a cute and funny romantic dramedy about the afterlife and the choices we make. The film examines a challenging predicament, surrounded by intriguing world building and strong cast (Olsen/Teller/Turner are solid, but Da’Vine is the MVP!); though its pacing is uneven and holds it back

Chloé Zhao’s HAMNET is heartbreaking and absolutely devastating; it’s beautifully-crafted, but also an extremely difficult watch. Jessie Buckley’s performance penetrates your soul and shatters you into a million pieces, alongside an excellent Paul Mescal as a broken Shakespeare

JAY KELLY is a sharply-written, beautiful, and introspective look at life in the movie business. A brilliant, captivating cast (Clooney, Sandler, Dern) provides such a grounded, entertaining narrative that can truly apply to anyone; one of the best and most charming films of the year

THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE is vibrant, expressionistic and bold; an impeccably-crafted and acted film about religion and its interpretation. Amanda Seyfried is astonishing, completely disappearing into the character and fully embodying the Shaker culture. One of the year’s finest

THE PLAGUE is a harsh reminder of the pain of adolescence, how cruel it can be, and the toll it takes; a PSA against bullying set a a water polo summer camp in the early 2000s. Joel Edgerton is great, but it’s the kids (led by Everett Blunck) that really cements its authenticity
