Coming of age in a strict religious sect, sinners and saints, right and wrong, impossible expectations, unwanted crushes and dangerous love, this is the imperfect storm hitting seventeen year-old Jem Starling (Eliza Scanlen) in writer/director Laurel Parmet’s “The Starling Girl”.

A member of a rigid Kentucky fundamentalist Christian community, Jem has given her soul

Patricia Ortega’s latest film “MAMACRUZ” is a frank and honest film that speaks to the embracing of one’s sexuality, especially late in life.

Spanish actress Kiti Mánver is excellent as Mamacruz, a seamstress, wife, mother, and grandmother, who accidentally clicks on a porn link. Stunned at first, the clip plants the seed of a sexual reawakening within. 

Andrew Durham’s debut feature “Fairyland” is an emotionally-rich character piece with an acute sense of time and place.

Adapted by Durham from Alysia Abbott's book “Fairyland: A Memoir of My Father,” Scoot McNairy is Steve Abbott, a writer and widower who, after the death of his wife, moves with his young daughter Alysia (Emilia Jones) to San Francisco in the seventies.

Early in the new documentary “Little Richard: I Am Everything,” two sentences perfectly capture the man and his legacy.

“Run Rabbit Run”, written by Hannah Kent and directed by Diana Reid, is an Australian creeper that is essentially more of a psychological thriller than full-on horror. Sarah Snook stars as Sarah, a fertility doctor still mourning the death of her father, whose daughter Mia (Lily LaTorre) begins to inhabit strange behavior. Along with claiming she misses her grandmother (who she never met), the young girl begins to believe she is Alice, Sarah’s sister who disappeared

In director Rachel Lambert’s “Sometimes I Think About Dying,” Daisy Ridley’s Fran is there, but she isn’t there. Life is moving, but not forward. Existing is questionable.

Adapted from a 2019 short film, one that was based on the play “Killers” by Kevin Armento, Lambert’s film gives Daisy Ridley the proper role to showcase her impressive talents in. In a dreary Oregon town

In the classic 1969 Western “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” Robert Redford’s Sundance teases Paul Newman’s Cassidy about his big schemes. Butch replies, “Boy, I got vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals.”
