From the Chicago International Film Festival, @812filmreviews reviews LIZ HERE NOW & THREE COLORS: PAN-AFRICAN: rogerebert.com/festivals/cif…
"Kat Sandler has transformed her own work for the better, breaking down her play and molding it into a story that not only translates well on screen, but gets even better in this entirely different medium."
@kaiyashunyata reviews YAGA: rogerebert.com/streaming/yag…
“We all bring our own perspectives, challenges, joys, pain, and sorrow to these experiences. If we can put them authentically into the stories, hopefully they’ll reach another person.”

“It makes you appreciate its existence, however imperfect."
@peytondani reviews JUNK: rogerebert.com/reviews/junk-…
"Colman and Skarsgård keep the film honest even when Fischer and Wilson wiggle out of their own conceit, conjuring deeply felt emotion out of the promise of love."
@812filmreviews reviews WICKER: rogerebert.com/reviews/wicke…
“[It] can’t seem to bother with character development beyond the broadest of strokes."
@oldfilmsflicker reviews LOVE LANGUAGE: rogerebert.com/reviews/love-…
"The soccer scenes are especially disappointing, though, since the filmmakers’ use of AI only creates a disturbing Uncanny Valley effect."
@simonsaybrams reviews KUNG FU SOCCER: rogerebert.com/reviews/kung-…
"This exceptionally thoughtful and often hilarious documentary about Bamford explores the way she uses humor to filter her experiences."
@nminow reviews PARALYZED BY FEAR: THE MARIA BAMFORD STORY: rogerebert.com/reviews/paral…
“[It] is a gorgeous ode to outsiders, nature, and everything we seem to be losing as we march toward a tech-heavy future."
@Brian_Tallerico reviews WILDWOOD: rogerebert.com/reviews/wildw…
“What made Skerritt special was how easily his intertwined interests in learning, storytelling, and observing showed up in his work."
@Brian_Tallerico offers tribute to the late Tom Skerritt: rogerebert.com/tributes/seek…
“Taika Waititi’s simplification of the story into a saturated dreamland feels like a Dr. Seuss adaptation."
@coolkidcort reviews KLARA AND THE SUN: rogerebert.com/reviews/klara…
"Despite tear-filled eyes, the beauty of [this film] blooms from the way love evolves after loss."
@coolkidcort in her 4/4 star review, writes about MOUSE from the Chicago International Film Festival: rogerebert.com/reviews/mouse…
"We see a love that does what love does best: ask more of us. And that’s something to celebrate."

@petersob13 reviews MAKING MARIE ANTOINETTE: rogerebert.com/reviews/makin…
“[It] can’t quite figure out what movie it wants to be, which could be an ambitious homage to a writer that often blurred genre lines, or it could just be sloppy writing."
@Brian_Tallerico reviews A TALENT FOR MURDER, in theaters now: rogerebert.com/reviews/a-tal…
“[John] Turturro shines, offering a performance that not only gives justice to this honorable character—but also proves that he’s among the last of a certain type of professional actor ..."
