The brief period of time where at least in fiction, you could hide away from the troubles of the world in the arms of a pretty girl might be coming to an end. In its place is Foreign Language, where even in the arms of a pretty girl, the rise of far-right extremism and environmental collapse loom ever-present. 7.7/10

What I liked about The Seed was its quicker, comedic pacing and the fact that it does cover some new ground that other similar films, especially dramas do not. What I don’t like about the film is that despite being a comedy, it’s not very funny. 4.7/10
Violette is a well put together biopic about a more than worthy subject. It is not exactly the most groundbreaking biopic by any measure and I still think it runs a touch long. But this is ultimately, a solid film. 6.8/10
Bye Bye Blondie isn’t awful by any means. But it’s also not good enough for me to call it good. 4.6/10
WLW films found a new low with Between Us. And I really hope that I can take that bullet for you by reviewing the film so you don’t watch it personally. 1.9/10
The Origin of Evil is a pretty great example of the fucked up rich family melodrama. 7.4/10
It’s a huge step up for a Jess Franco film to be boring. Usually, his films are incompetent. That makes this easily objectively one of his stronger films that I’ve seen. 4.6/10
The Five Devils has a somewhat absurd premise that quality visuals and the always excellent Adèle Exarchopoulos really bolsters. These quality elements help sell this magical realist story about the bisexual agenda: adultery, acrobatics and arson. 7.2/10
Out of the Blue is one of those movies that doesn’t have anything really wrong with it. But there’s also nothing I can point out as being particularly good. It just sort of is. 5.1/10
Anaïs is an engaging portrait of a very messy woman with very messy relationships. While its writing isn’t as strong as The Worst Person in the World, the visuals and aesthetics of the film make it a more than pleasant sit. 6.7/10
