Psychosexual horror comedy featuring tentacle sex and a satirical sledgehammer to therapy culture is a hard sell anywhere. For something like that to work, you've got to be all in on the vibes. If not, the whole thing crumbles and becomes an insufferable sit, the hyper stylized execution more

SUNDANCE DOESN'T NORMALLY DO ROM-COMS... Rom-coms are not the usual genre you see pop up at the Sundance Film Festival and its definitely not my go-to genre, either. But, I was drawn to Chasing Summer by the fact that it was written by and starred Iliza Shlesinger. I became familiar with the wild

I ABSOLUTELY HATED THIS MOVIE UPON FIRST VIEWING... Night Nurse is written and directed by Georgia Bernstein. It follows an aimless young woman named Eleny who gets a job as a night nurse to an early-onset Alzheimer's patient named Douglas. Douglas is at once charming, but dangerous… and lures his

Jordan Firstman's Club Kid was the talk of the town at this year's TIFF. As well as Telluride. And Cannes. Whatever film festival this film goes to, it invites the kind of enthusiasm that can shake mountains. Going in, I was nervous that Club Kid wouldn't live up to the lofty expectations I had set
Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother is a grounded, pulse pounding gut-punch of a film. A wholly unique experience that proves that you can still iterate on conventions and present them with a sense of newness.
