All of the demolition scenes in this were harrowing, but the image that will probably stick with me for the rest of my life from this film is the sequence showing the children being forced to pack up their own school before it gets bulldozed.

Grand Theft Hamlet 2024
As others have noted, this has a few flickering moments of genuine magic—usually when they encounter other gamers and try to get them onboard with the project—but, otherwise, it feels pretty tedious.
The scripted bits are especially rough, and the film drags, in particular, in its final third.

Destination NBA: A G League Odyssey 2023
A decent portrait of the NBA G League, but this was definitely around 30-40 mins too long.
This is a widespread problem with sports docs, but it becomes tedious hearing the same 5-7 platitudes recycled again and again about dreams, being tested, God's plan, etc.
I enjoyed the inclusion of comments/reflections from current NBA players that were in the G League (like GPII), but I think those comments could've been integrated a bit better.

Love Liza 2002
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
This is an undersung masterpiece with a devastating performance from PSH as Wilson Joel.
Kathy Bates is good as Mary Ann, too, as is Jack Kehler as Denny.
Incredible, turn of the millennium era Jim O'Rourke music provides the soundtrack, including the gorgeous song "Good Times" over the end credits. The Jim O music is what pushed this over the top for me into this probably being like one of my favourite films now.
