Triptych
A Painter makes deal with the devil for success but fears her secret will be revealed.
Excellent short horror film with visual style to burn. Sure it may seem to be slightly familiar but the execution and the visual flair make this film an absolute killer.
One of my favorite horror films of any length that I’ve seen in 2024
SAINT VASSILY
An orthodox priest who is about to be ordained is caught in a web about a fellow priest.
This is an expertly made and excellently acted film that probably should have been longer. There is a sense that we are coming in at point too far into the story to be full invested. I would love to know a bit more back story. What here is really good, and I want to see what director Masha Egieva does with a feature, but I was never fully invested.
Reservations aside, worth a look.
THE PROFESSIONAL PARENT
A woman decides to become the guardian for a Roma child.
This is a film that should have been a feature film. There is simply too much to this story that needs to be expanded upon. Part of it is the fact the story has a lot of threads that should be explored and part of it is there simply aren’t enough films looking at the prejudice felt to the Roma population. This would could be a great feature on that subject.
My wanting more aside this is a film to track down.
PICTURE DAY
An Asain American tom boy causes problems with an act of rebellion
This is a small gem of a film about the pain of growing up the need for society to box kids in.
Worth a look.
SPECTRUM
The life of a young man with Autism, based on the director’s brother and made by a neuro divergent cast and crew.
I don’t have a great deal to say. This is a very good film looking at the trials and tribulations of the main character.
Worth a look.
