An awfully hilarious comedy with a stellar cast, whose brave and fearless performances turn this film into a great adventure, full of jokes and some remarkable scenes that will be remembered in the history of cinema as the best of their kind. Review

There is nothing to catch from Nancy. It has nothing intelligent to offer to the viewer to backup the whole proposed idea. Review

A Kid Like Jake is carefully crafted story that reaches right to the core of the problem, delivering what it intends right from the beginning. Review

Of Fathers and Sons is the director Talal Derki’s personal journey. Review

As the story unfolds you will be stumbled, find yourself speechless and maybe if not for certain, in tears. Because there is no other way to react to what has been told or shared through Tim Wardle’s documentary, one of the best ones ever made. Review

Mandy is like Dante’s Inferno. Despite beautiful colors, a mind-blowing scenery and the visually stunning photography, it’s not the place any of us would like to end up in. Review

The Vatican Deception is one of those documentary films that may not reach the wider audience for the sole reason that it is an eye-opening film that some powerful people may want to be shut down. Review

In the end, we are left with a sad but hopeful love story. Review

Roll with Me is the most important documentary film that has to be seen by every individual on this planet. Review

Through his camera, the director allows the viewer to get a glimpse of the world where words, diplomacy, patience, and politeness are the tools to win in any situation. Review

The best thing about short movies is that, when well narrated, they seem like a concise version of a feature film that the viewer can enjoy in a shorter time period. Review

Adventures in Public School is one of those rare low budget comedies with a joyful and enchanting outcome. Review

Hepburn has delivered a decent drama that can aim only certain type of viewers. Review

Ava offers a vivid, disturbing and at the same time a brave look into how the power can force the family’s bond to be broken. Review

There is nothing superb or fascinating about The Polka King and seems that has never been the aim of its creators. It is a solid piece with decent performances from Jack Black, Jacki Weaver, Jenny Slate and Jason Schwartzman. Review

Phantom Threads tells an extremely charming and damaging story in a cleverly way. Review

Derek Peck’s piece is profound for its narration, editing and the way Ram Dass’ message is delivered in such a concise way. Review

The story is decent; the music – outstanding; the performance delivered by the cast is solid and combined with the directorial approach which clearly emphasizes that war cannot be handled or accepted in any way. Review
