Maja Ma ultimately succeeds from having a clear sense of societal as well as artistic purpose. This is a film that managed to combine the two really well. 7.3/10

This is a middling thriller with no visible ambition of being anything other than a momentary diversion soon to be forgotten by both audience and the makers of the film. 4.4/10
You Can Live Forever is a perfectly good movie. I wish it was great. But not all art is great. There’s still a solid idea and good performances here. 6.7/10
More than being an involved story, To Kill the Beast is a celebration of what can be accomplished with the moving image. It’s all vibes all the time. 6.9/10
Do Revenge is a Netflix movie. And Netflix as an entire brand proves that things can be popular without being cool. Do Revenge just isn’t cool. 5.4/10
There’s so much more subtly to Tár than I expected. This is an exceptional character study of a woman who is awful, but in a way that feels complex and real. 8.4/10
I love the message of this film and came to enjoy the characters. But my god, Badhaai Do was too long. 6.0/10
I hope streaming service Shudder keeps snapping up these gay A24 cast-off horror films. The Last Thing Mary Saw might not be as good as say, The Witch, but few things are. 7/10
Beauty is not entirely a failure. There’s ambition and passion here. And some of it works. But ultimately, the film has more misses than hits. 4.6/10
Camila Comes Out Tonight is a perfectly competent little film. I am not overly moved only because of the sheer abundance of coming-of-age queer films I’ve seen. 5.8/10
