Within trying to undo a faulty narrative and craft a new one, Wild Nights made the delightful choice to do so with comedy. 9/10

Nina isn’t a wholly new story or anything that warrants a two hour and ten minute runtime yet here we are. 5.1/10
Kajillionaire has so much going on in it and every part of it is handled so brilliantly. The film is a slowburn romance/belated coming of age story using the crime genre as framework and mixed in with comedic sensibilities. 9.3/10
The Fish Child is basically a series of tragic and dramatic elements held together through good cinematography and performances. 6.1/10
Shiva Baby is a great little comedy and incredibly self-assured for being the feature length debut of filmmaker Emma Seligman. 8/10
The Perfume of Memory never feels fully like a story or film but like a proof of concept. It’s less of a film on its own and more proof that Oswaldo Montengegro could make a film. 2.4/10
ou, Me and Him has a lot to say about pregnancy. Mostly, it does so in a way that lends itself well to comedy. And then, it plunks you in the deep end of despair out of nowhere. 6.0/10
Maybe Tomorrow brims with youthful energy and fresh ideas. 7.1/10
While I am pleased that Just the Two of Us featured zero dead lesbians, that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a poorly written and acted movie. 3.1/10
