    Memoir of a Snail

    ★★★★½

    It’s the kind of scenario that would typically feel too harsh to be endearing in reality, but Elliot’s crude clay figures bring a surprising warmth. The lumpy, imperfect characters, crafted with affection, reveal an unexpected beauty in their flaws. In Elliot’s world, even the most awkward shapes find grace, turning what seems deliberately ugly into a celebration of the unique and overlooked charm of imperfection.

    ★★★★

    The real star here is the film’s atmosphere: dank, claustrophobic, and crawling with unease. Gries’ portrayal of a man unraveling under the weight of history is haunting, and the film’s surreal visual language amplifies its themes of guilt and repression. A bold, provocative take on the consequences of buried (and current) atrocities, Solvent challenges us to confront the past with a grotesque honesty rarely seen in cinema.

    Welcome to Leith

    ★★★★

    A tense documentary that chronicles the attempted takeover of a small North Dakota town by white supremacist Craig Cobb. Through an unflinching, observational style, the film captures the fear and resistance of Leith's residents as they fight to protect their community. It's a stark exploration of extremism, free speech, and the fragility of small-town life.

    ★★★★½

    A masterclass in experimental cinema, blending intellect with the absurd. Comparable yet starkly different from the Oscar-worthy "Memoria", this piece delves deep into the psyche of its protagonist, offering a mix of horror and LGBTQ undertones. Disjointed yet captivating, its unique narrative demands attention. Not for the faint-hearted but an absolute gem for those who appreciate daring cinema.
