A filmmaker baring his soul in the only language he knows - one of flesh, decay, and the futile, beautiful need to connect before we disappear.

Ryan Coogler tells a story that’s wholly and unmistakably his own. Blending the bold energy of genre storytelling - specifically supernatural horror - with a potent narrative of racial oppression, cultural identity, and spiritual survival, the result is one of the most richly textured and soulfully resonant films of the year.

The Wedding Banquet is a triumph — thoughtful, funny, and deeply affecting. It honors the legacy of Ang Lee’s original film while carving out its own space as a vital queer narrative for today’s audiences. In a landscape where LGBTQIA+ stories are constantly evolving, Ahn’s remake stands as both a reflection of the present and a hopeful look toward the future.

This is not a film about “why” the Iraq War happened or what its global or political consequences were. It’s not even really about who was right or wrong. It doesn’t try to moralize or contextualize. It doesn’t offer answers. It hardly asks questions. It simply exists - as a stark, often brutal reenactment of a singular mission gone sideways, told from the subjective memories of the men who lived it.

Drop doesn’t quite reach the inventive highs of the past works of Christopher Landon, but it’s still a gripping and cleverly modern tech thriller anchored by a terrific lead performance and that same signature Landon flair.

A stylish, well-acted horror film with a killer concept that falters under its own weight.

With a taut premise and powerhouse performances from Bill Skarsgård and Anthony Hopkins, the film crafts a nerve-wracking experience that forces both its protagonist and the audience into a relentless battle of wits and endurance.

This audacious rock opera packs plenty of ambition but flies a bit too close to the sun.

Part sickeningly sweet romcom, part gleefully violent action flick, Novocaine is a mixed bag of gory fun.
