It takes a lot of courage – and even more skill – to unsettle beloved myths, presenting them as unique and daring works. We tend to gravitate towards what we find familiar, and it can therefore be tricky to embrace those which attempt to redefine what particular concepts mean. This is the foundation on which…
The Baltimorons (2025)
We all yearn to find someone who truly understands us, and while most of the time we tend to view this person as being a romantic partner, any kind of spiritual companion is welcome, particularly when it comes to someone who tends to see the world in the same way that we do. In the…
Late Shift (2025)
Healthcare is an art, and while it may seem inappropriate and reductive to compare something that is arguably the most serious and important profession imaginable to creative fields, which are objectively more trivial in contrast, it does bear some relevance. There is much more to it than just administering treatment, with medicine being a field…
A Magnificent Life (2025)
Every artist has their particular niche in which they excel, and there are a few exceptional cases of those who are also able to do well in other media, which is a testament to their skills. However, very rarely do we find those who are able to thrive in every conceivable medium in which they…
Bring Her Back (2025)
These days, it seems to be impossible to find a work of horror that doesn’t market itself as some intense, cerebral experience that will disturb viewers long before it even begins to entertain them. It seems like the entire genre has shifted towards trying to find the most disturbing and unsettling way to tell a…
Rental Family (2025)
There are a few fundamental needs that every one of us has – nourishment and shelter being the primary rights that we are universally supposed to be afforded. Yet, something that we very rarely discuss as being an absolute necessity is genuine human connection. Regardless of who you are or where you come from, we…
Is This Thing On? (2025)
Finding a romantic partner is easy, but keeping them is much more challenging – a sentiment that often arises whenever the subject of romance is discussed. There are as many films about falling in love as there are about maintaining that spark. Unfortunately, as idealistic as we may want to be when it comes to…
Train Dreams (2025)
For as long as we have been sentient, we have been pursuing the goal of trying to condense entire lives into single streams of thoughts – we all have a date in which we enter this world, and a date in which we exit, and everything in between becomes our legacy. For some people, they…
Infinitely Polar Bear (2014)
Art is often known to be very personal, especially when it comes to stories about family. Countless writers and directors have drawn influence from their own lives, whether taking cues from their childhood or their journey to become the artists we appreciate and revere, which is not always the easiest way for someone to develop….
Kenny (2006)
It’s often been said that there is a sub-section of people within any given society that are referred to as the “labouring invisible”, meaning those working-class individuals that take on jobs or positions that are often dismissed by those who are unable to ever envision being in a line of work that is decidedly lacking…
