Open Roads: New Italian Cinema Review – Stefano Sollima’s ‘Adagio’
“Somewhat epic like Michael Mann’s ‘Heat’ (1995) and political in nature like Sollima’s underrated series ‘ZeroZeroZero’ (2020), ‘Adagio’ executes its brutal messaging through cinematographer Paolo Carnera’s observant visual language.”
Review: Chris Nash’s ‘In a Violent Nature’
“The package may be pretty, but there’s nothing of note inside, and what is there has been done better elsewhere.”

‘Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever’ Review: Borrowed Nostalgia for the Unremembered 90s
“‘Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever’ is formulaic to a fault… however, keep an eye on Fanny Bornedal. It won’t be long until she headlines (or co-headlines) a high-profile TV series or film on a major streaming service.”

Review: Everybody Needs to See John Rosman’s ‘New Life’
“Rosman builds to a powerful resolution and ideal ending moment in ‘New Life,’ using gore and traditional methods to escalate the tension, and then pulls the rug away from the audience — a reminder of who’s in control, a tease of what’s to come.”
Review: Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett’s ‘Abigail’
“There’s more to love than hate in ‘Abigail’ — from the insanely over-the-top violence to the fresh take on vampire mythology — and most of the dangling threads pay off in a pacy, satisfying manner.”
Review: Robert Lorenz’s ‘In the Land of Saints and Sinners’
“‘In the Land of Saints and Sinners’ truly sings during its quietest moments.”
Review: George Henry Horton’s ‘Project Dorothy’
“‘Project Dorothy’ has nothing meaningful to say about the lingering AI threat to humanity.”
Manchester Film Festival Review: Matthew Butler-Hart’s ‘Dagr’
“‘Dagr’ isn’t a bad found footage movie, and it has its moments of fun, yet Butler-Hart’s film doesn’t sustain the promise of its opening scenes.”
Manchester Film Festival Review: Dan Pringle’s ‘Die Before You Die’
“‘Die Before You Die’ is a solid independent horror film that, in its best moments, balances effective satire with claustrophobic terror.”

Review: Sam H. Freeman and Ng Choon Ping’s ‘Femme’
“‘Femme’ is lean, mean, nasty, challenging, knotty, uncomfortable and disorientating — often all at once.”
Review: Joe Lawlor and Christine Molloy’s ‘Baltimore’
“Poots isn’t just good in ‘Baltimore’ — she’s breathtakingly brilliant.”
Review: Marc Schießer’s ‘Trunk: Locked In’
“Schießer’s Amazon film is an imaginative thriller, one that requires the performers to think visually like the director.”
