"It’s an idea-driven science fiction movie that respects the audience’s intelligence."

@mattzollerseitz reviews SIGNAL ONE: https://t.co/5e1SDPJvMN

[RogerEbert.com @ebertvoices]

“It feels like an old-fashioned high-school flick about friendship, but one that has new ideas. It’s the rarest of skills, making something new out of something old."

"While Diego Luna undeniably keeps this boat afloat, it’s difficult to proclaim that the script truly serves the story it sets out to tell."

“Director Adam Rehmeier, though, cares about individuality, and he has a sense of humor. He doesn’t force chemistry, but he leaves lots of space for it."

Sheila O’Malley reviews CAROLINA CAROLINE: https://t.co/hlTBL7JF5E

[RogerEbert.com @ebertvoices]

“There’s a lotta ound and fury (not just the gunfire, but Mike Forst’s “I Heart Hans Zimmer” score), but not much signifying."

[RogerEbert.com @ebertvoices]

"The dialogue sounds like it came out of an R-rated fortune cookie. Even worse, just when you think it’s over, there are extra scenes during the credits to prolong the agony."

In his review of THE LITTLE SISTER, @812filmreviews praises actress Nadia Melliti, who gives the film’s at times commonplace visual language, "life when the sharpened angles of her face so eloquently contrast with the tenderness of her eyes.” https://t.co/qs7mU5d6Ar

[RogerEbert.com @ebertvoices]

"Raunchy humor abounds … but the attempts at edgy commentary, e.g., a visual gag about the Epstein files, are neither provocative nor funny."

YOU CAN LIVE FOREVER is streaming on Netflix.

I loved this film — a sapphic romance between two teens in a Jehovah's Witness community, sensitively acted by Anwen O'Driscoll and June Laporte, all about queer love and religious devotion as forms of enduring, all-consuming faith.

“Human nature is made for freedom. With this youth, we might have better days.”

For @ebertvoices, I wrote about the late, great Marjane Satrapi

"Instead of a simple-minded plot about finding happiness in the next life, the makers of challenge viewers to find solace in knowing that much of our worldly sorrows are beyond our control."

"It’s a lurid, explicitly violent, well-acted, and preposterously plotted fever dream that had me rolling my eyes at certain twists and turns, even as I found myself eager to gobble up the next episode."
