[Grant's] top value and way better than the film deserves: that is class, and given how he almost redeems the film, you can't begrudge Ritchie the luxury.

Atlantics
Film Daze
Shea Vassar
Haunting each of its viewers in a way that can only be described as personal, Atlantics is a great start to a bright future for filmmaker Diop, as she is using the medium to tell a confident story that she knows best.

Blood Quantum

Shea Vassar
'Blood Quantum' is a refreshing break from the same sad drama that is usually regurgitated when filmmakers, even those from an Indigenous or Native background, attempt to talk about the Indian experience.

The Irishman
Film Daze
Shea Vassar
The great performances and incredible filmmaking make this fictionalized tale of Frank Sheeran a story to end the decade, one that has seen many changes within the film industry - and hopefully introducing a new era of Martin Scorsese.

Yes, God, Yes
Film Daze
Shea Vassar
'Yes, God, Yes' feels new and specific to the character because of its commitment to sex-positivity. It is a break from today's chaotic world as it cannonballs into a time of teenage anxiety and naiveté.
