12th Fail 2023
I love movies like this! I love movies that speak volumes about social justice, politics, and humanity by telling an emotionally evocative story. And damn, this movie does that.

Kinds of Kindness 2024
The stories had their moments and the actors did a fantastic job. However, there were moments where the gore, nudity, and sex seemed to be there just to be there.
