⭐⭐⭐1/2 I attended the opening night of the Seattle International Film Festival, where I Love Boosters launched the festivities in unforgettable fashion. From the start, it was clear this would not be a tidy or predictable movie. Boots Riley delivers a chaotic, what-the-hell kind of ride that pulls you in every direction and keeps you guessing. Set in Oakland, California, I Love Boosters follows Corvette, … Continue reading I Love Boosters

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Walking into The Drama, I expected a lighthearted romantic comedy with a sprinkle of drama — something easy to digest. What I got instead was a deeply unsettling, thought-provoking exploration of human relationships and the weight of our pasts.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classified as an art film, Mother Mary, directed by David Lowery, weaves together complex emotions and quiet moments. Like many films in this genre, it relies more on mood, atmosphere, and subtext than on a straightforward plot. Throughout the movie, this approach is especially apparent in how its emotional weight is conveyed through subtle, unspoken Queer undertones. The film follows Mother Mary (Anne Hathaway), … Continue reading Mother Mary

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ana Kokkinos’ Head On is a cinematic gut-punch — a raw, unrelenting exploration of identity, culture, and rebellion. Based on Christos Tsiolkas’ novel Loaded, the film follows 19-year-old Ari, a second-generation Greek-Australian navigating the chaos of his sexuality, family expectations, and the gritty streets of Melbourne.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Some films stay in a viewer’s memory, while others, like “Blue Moon,” leave a mark on the soul. Richard Linklater’s latest isn’t just a biopic — it’s a sad, night-long goodbye to Lorenz Hart, the troubled songwriter whose lyrics still echo in bars and lonely hearts. Watching this film, one is drawn into a world that is at once bright and sad, carried by … Continue reading Blue Moon (2025)
⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the very first scene of Charade, Audrey Hepburn exudes effortless elegance and warmth, capturing your attention and holding it tightly. As Regina Lampert, a young widow swept into a whirlwind of danger and deception, Audrey masterfully balances vulnerability with sharp-witted charm.
