Work can often get in the way of romance, especially when survival is more paramount than quality time.
“Fairytales” is an exception to what you usually get when you see a young person in that it isn’t a coming-of-age tale or a sterile children’s story, but what it is like to be a kid.
With the type of animation which pushes you to think something nefarious could happen, “Witchfairy” sets you up for one thing but pleasantly gives you another.
Presenting multiple examples of advocating for others and yourself, “Restless Is The Night” is both cautionary and a call to action.
“Corvine” reminds you how much the support of parents matters when you are a little kid.
“The Mecca of Comedy” is an intriguing look into the DC comedy scene, but it could use another edit and more comedy.
“Blood for Dust” is a moody film that examines upwards mobility in America, yet the movie struggles to give you a reason to care for its protagonist.
Alongside being visually stunning, almost AAA video game quality at times, “Deep Sea” is an emotional experience, especially as it enters its third act.
“Let the Canary Sing” is an intimate portrayal of struggle and joy for Cyndi Lauper’s voice and activism.
In “I.S.S.,” it appears Ariana DeBose plans to actively avoid the usual Oscar slump a lot of people, especially people of color, experience via a sci-fi drama where there is a nuclear war and a battle for the International Space Station.
