Reviews
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
