Stupid For You’s reliance on cliches makes this a love letter to the Riot Grrrl movement without any of that movement’s edge or danger. 4.2/10
This was a film made from within a community. There’s an expectation that the audience also comes from within that community. But the community this film is made for sort of doesn’t exist anymore. So then you’re just left with the question of politics aside, do you want to spend time with these six fictional women? 5.8/10
As some sort of standalone TV episode, this could’ve worked. But weak as The Girl’s story is, even the cool and sexy vibes can’t sustain it for a full movie runtime. 4.6/10
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
The sci-fi universe of Harmony is a welcome change of pace from yet another romantic drama. 7.3/10
Films piss me off when they’re offensive or feel like they’re not trying. Intentions isn’t offensive and I think everyone was trying their hardest. Tragically, all this trying just didn’t lead to any success. 2.5/10
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
Sword of Trust really works because of how well everyone understands the universe and the movie that they’re in. This feels like more of a collaboration between filmmaker and actors than most scripted films. 6.8/10
There’s so many issues of taste and morals worthy of critique in Helga, She Wolf of Stilberg. But my main issue with the film is how half-assed it is. If you’re gonna go there, go there! Make a movie too extreme for me to watch. Helga wasn’t that at all. 3.2/10
