My Psychedelic Love Story (2020)
This prolonged interview may not be on par with Morris's best films, but it's refreshing to see the auteur suspending his somber persona and having a blast.

Darkness in Tenement 45 (2020)
The film is revelatory for its ability to craft so much atmosphere with a limited budget and is aided further by a strong cast of mostly unknown actors throughout.

Muskie Point (2020)
The low-budget results in shootouts and fist-fights that go on too long, but the reason to watch the film, and you should, is the dialogue. It's sharp, witty, and well thought out.

The Disrupted (2020)
The movie is saved by its three subjects, as each of them proves to be a wholly unique, captivating case study in uphill living.

Frank & Zed (2020)
It is steeped in horrific imagery whose oppressive atmosphere will scare you, and the characters are striking, visually dynamic, and creatively designed.

What Killed Michael Brown? (2020)
Steele does a great job of recounting the events from an objective eye, and whether you agree with him or not, it's hard to argue with a lot of the facts he presented.

Somebody Up There Likes Me (2019)
It's fascinating to see these legends speak, and you could listen to their anecdotes for hours, but no one ever says anything inflammatory, disruptive, or controversial.

Shadow in the Cloud (2020)
In surer hands, Shadow in the Cloud could have been a demented allegory about female empowerment; instead, it's just demented, albeit damn entertaining.

Unthinkable (2020)
Unthinkable doesn't especially redefine the thriller in any meaningful way, per se. Rather, it's a quality debut from two talented multi-hyphenates that warrants a watch.

Hosts may borrow from some well-known titles and is a little slow to start, but it is worth the price of admission.

Cagefighter (2020)
The film has some nice cameos from familiar faces of both the octagon and squared circle, and it has a cast that carries it just enough to the final round.

Omissions aside, Color Adjustment provides enough footage and interviews that clearly show the early struggles for a voice in the medium.

The Last Exorcist (2020)
It is a long slog of tropes and cliches, with no scares in sight, to get to that ending. I'm not sure it is worth it, but I am not sure it is not worth it either.

Rose Plays Julie (2019)
If you love an intense revenge story or a film that will give you a good cry, you should seek it out. It's subtle until it's not, and then it grabs you. I enjoyed it very much.
