Freeway 2 will not be to everyone’s taste but for all its flaws, I had a great time watching its gritty insanity. 6.2/10
Memento Mori is an overall successful horror movie that makes great use of its small budget by choosing to focus on characters. 6.8/10

Made during the indie/Sundance film festival boom of the 1990’s, High Art is an incredibly polished, precise piece of work. 8/10

If you want a WLW movie that makes you feel disturbed and sad, Sister My Sister is a pretty safe bet. 7.3/10
