I really recommend this one. It’s a great example of a comedy specifically made on a small budget that maximizes all of its good qualities and minimizes its limitations. 7.1/10

With everything that’s happening right now it’s not exactly the time for a movie such as this. But as has become apparent to me, it is never gonna be the time for this. And I fear that Kiss Me Kosher only gets less funny as time goes on. 5.0/10
Over Easy shows a strong understanding of what is realistically possible for a film with a small budget. It is a small, focused story with funny moments. However, I worry the story might actually be too small to fill out a feature film. 5.1/10
Far from depicting unconditional love, Coming Home For Christmas portrays extremely conditional love and support. There’s a line in the movie about how family should be the place where you can be the truest version of yourself. But everything that happens in this movie disproves that. 2.7/10
Gornick’s confidence in centralizing her experiences and thoughts is admirable. But of the three films of hers I’ve seen, Tick Tock Lullaby is the weakest. And after three movies of Gornick’s thoughts, it veers away from highlighting a marginalized voice as it becomes so specifically about Lisa Gornick as a person. 5.0/10
My Old Ass is a charming, funny and moving film from a bisexual director. It clearly seems to play on the director’s personal experiences and does so with a lot of heart. 8.1/10
Suicide Kale is fine. It has some minor laughs, mild intrigue and some genuine empathy at its centre. But it’s not exactly a standout in any way. 5.5/10
Cora Bora is a fun, very modern comedy. It’s not a romance, but is focused on various relationships. And the focus of said relationships is largely what’s funny about them? And the answer is a lot. 6.8/10
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
NIMBY bites off more than it can chew. But I respect the attempt. This film is listed as a comedy and there are some jokes. But the subject matter is too dark and too prescient to be particularly funny. 5.3/10
