Halo Season Two impresses with compelling characters, thrilling action, and a course correction from its predecessor.

Patrons chose The Last of Us season 1 as an essential review to publish before 2024.

As we approach the end of the series, the fate of the East High Leopards hangs in the balance. With only eight episodes left, viewers are eager to see if they will receive a proper farewell.

However, based on the mixed results of the previous six episodes, it's difficult to say whether the send-off will meet expectations.

Konpa is a relatively simple short full of vibes and romance.

In Passing has some great directing and acting but requires a lot of caveats for me to recommend watching.

Then Comes the Body is a wonderful example of what you get when a documentarian truly understands the subject and its beauty.

Sean McCarron's directorial debut, Corvine, is playful and strongly animated, but the score mixing & tone torpedo its chances.

The Future by Noam Kaplan has strong acting but falls short in conveying the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Vishavjit Singh and Ryan Westra’s animated short is a promising animated short that’s full of stupendous animation from Studio Showoff paired with a touching narrative that I’d love to see as a film.

Bill Oliver and Peter Nickowitz’s second collaboration yields much more interesting benefits than their previous effort with an emotional film about a same-sex marriage and custody battle that you should not miss.

Matt Campanella's latest short is everything you'd want from a short called Daddy Issues.

Cody Lightning’s directorial debut plays with what a biographical drama can be, boasts some great performances and tons of humor to balance the drama and includes Native voices behind and in front of the camera.

Ecstasy, one of the first short films screening at Tribeca 2023, wastes what would be a solid premise in search of…something else.

Bluelock’s first season is a great mix of Squid Game and football, with particular highlights being how faithful the adaptation is, the curveballs of the narrative, engaging characters, and some great voice acting, but it has some hit-and-miss animation and a lackluster score.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is a great animated movie that digs into the emotions beneath the surface.

The latest adaptation of the 1929 novel highlights the horrors of war.
