Lasse Hallström is not stretching himself with Hilma. But even him phoning it in still amounts in a decent film. 6.4/10

Director Christopher Sandler drops you into his character’s head from moment one and keeps you there the whole time. And he makes this achievement of characterization look so damn easy. 7.6/10
Girl With Hyacinths is commonly described as “lesbian Citizen Kane.” And I totally agree with that assessment. This movie is lesbian Citizen Kane! 9.1/10
Aniara is the best WLW sci-fi film I’ve seen by a significant margin. This is an intelligent, thought-provoking film. 8.9/10
The summary of Knocking I read promised to, “keep you guessing until the very end.” And for me at least, it did. 7/10
Even without my personal feelings on the franchise and this character, the film is still a middling and derivative action thriller. 5.5/10
While I have a soft-spot for 1970’s horror sleaze, I can’t say The Devil’s Plaything is one of the better offerings. I still had fun with some of the moments but mostly, the movie bored me. 3/10
Ultimately, Alena is spooky and well-paced enough to be at least mildly successful as a horror movie. And even a mildly successful horror movie is a minority in that genre. Still, as much as I’ve seen worse movies than Alena, I’ve seen better ones too. 5.7/10
There was a lot of unrealized potential here and that was really, really frustrating. Even though when I watched the movie, I sometimes spoke my idea of how to improve this movie aloud to my laptop, NONE of my suggestions were taken and the movie is worse for it. 3.7/10
Kyss Mig is a solid, romantic love story with a happy ending. It’s an an enjoyable watch and a good choice of a movie to pick if you’re a lady on a date with another lady. 7.2/10
