It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley Review: A Restless Spirit, Fully Rendered

Amy Berg's intimate portrait of Jeff Buckley's brief, restless career mourns without wallowing, anchored by home recordings and unguarded interviews.

The definitive Buckley documentary — finally.

Lesbian Space Princess Review: Lo-Fi Animation With a Big Queer Heart

Leela Varghese's gleefully lo-fi animated romp turns a breakup rescue mission into giddy sci-fi comedy that never outruns its sincerity.

Messy, horny, sincere — and proudly so.

critic Little Trouble Girls

Little Trouble Girls Review: Desire in a Convent Choir

Urška Djukić sets a shy teenager's first stirrings of desire against a convent choir retreat — piety and longing in quiet friction.

A quietly charged Slovenian coming-of-age gem.

critic LOLA

LOLA Review: A Wartime Sci-Fi That Curdles Beautifully

Andrew Legge's found-footage WWII sci-fi asks what two sisters would do with a radio that hears tomorrow — and the answer turns alarming.

Inventive, chilly, and divisive in the best way.

critic Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore

Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore Review: A Deaf Icon on Her Own Terms

Shoshannah Stern's insider portrait lets Marlee Matlin speak for herself, avoiding hagiography while honoring a groundbreaking career.

Essential viewing on Deaf representation and resilience.

critic Megadoc

Megadoc Review: Coppola's Obsession, Unfiltered

Mike Figgis turns Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis gamble into a riveting study of creative hubris and self-financed ambition.

Essential for anyone who cares how movies get made.

critic Minions & Monsters

Minions & Monsters Review: Illumination's Love Letter to Hollywood Horror

The Minions crash a monster-movie lot in the year's most affectionate animated comedy — funny, fast, and surprisingly sincere about classic Hollywood craft.

The best Minions movie since the original — ideal family viewing with genuine cinephile Easter eggs.
