This is whatever the reverse of biting off more than you can chew. Good Manners bit off exactly as much as it needed and then also added creative flair to every single bite. 7.1/10
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
I was NOT prepared for Ana and Vitória. This is a fascinating, baffling and very bad movie. 3.5/10
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
There are positives to Elvis & Madonna but even those positives come out of a place of there just not being enough trans narratives so I’ll take what I can get. 5.4/10

With its languid pace and voice over narration about the nature of grief and whatnot, So Hard to Forget is a very film festival type of film. 6.6/10
