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
Personally, I did not enjoy The Ladies Almanack. That being said, the amount of love, passion and creativity present in every shot in this film is something I admire. 4.6/10
This is a really forgettable film with a standard premise and below average execution. 3/10
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
While Days of Happiness is not a bad film by any means, the Tár comparisons definitely hurt it as Tár is basically a masterpiece and Days of Happiness just isn’t on the same level. 6.0/10
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
