MIFF 2024 Film Review - All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt
A quietly ambitious work sure to attract allegations of pretension, Raven Jackson swings big in All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt.
Film Review - Tótem
The second feature from Mexican director Lily Avilles, Tótem, is an incredibly assured and mature film that depicts the emotional intimacy and fragility of an extended family dealing with loss.
Film Review - The Conformist (4K Restoration)
Being able to see such a beautiful restoration on the big screen is worth the price of admission alone, and I could not recommend The Conformist more.
Fantastic Film Fest 2024 Review - Divinity
In Divinity, writer-director Eddie Alcazar seems to have crafted a readymade cult object. A film completely furnished with textual references, grotesque violence, hyper-stylised visuals, and mixed media experimentation, seemingly destined to attract a small coterie of like-minded fans and repeat viewers. The only issue is that I can’t imagine anyone sitting through this twice.
