The French Italian (2024) |
While it does feel like The French Italian writes itself into a corner at times, the sheer ridiculousness of it all, and the countless laugh-out-loud performances within, make it a worthy film about one of the many painful New York experiences. - InSession Film

I Saw the TV Glow (2024) |
It only takes a few minutes to realize that (Jane Schoenburn's) vision is basically set in stone, but furthermore, it shows that Schoenburn has absolutely no thoughts of slowing down their complete commitment of bringing bold filmic visions to audiences. - InSession Film

Babylon (2022) |
