‘Moonfish’ Review: Morgan Spector and Lucy Liu Voice a Spare but Evocative Animated Sci-Fi Suffused With Loneliness (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A study in sadness, loneliness and the quixotic struggle to survive extremes, grayscale animated feature Moonfish offers an eerie, resonant microdrama set five hundred years or so from now. Brooklyn-based artist Daniel Zvereff’s feature debut after some lovely shorts (including Drago and Life Is a Particle Time Is a Wave) offers a deeply dystopian vision of the future wherein pairs of astronauts are little more than indentured servants, sent to mine asteroids with pickaxes, forewarned that if th
‘Masc’ Review: A Neurodivergent Gay Man Navigates the World in a Striking and Distinctive Debut Feature (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A young neurodivergent, queer, biracial British man tries different adaptive strategies in an assortment of social situations in Masc, a heady, sometimes quizzical but very affecting meditation on the performative nature of everyday existence. This impressive feature debut for Britain-based Swedish director Bertil Nilsson draws a lot of strength from Joshua Griffin’s mesmerizing lead performance, playing another presumably autistic, gay character like the one he inhabited for Nilsson’s acclaimed
‘Our Loves’ Review: An Overwhelming Subject Gets Underwhelming Treatment in Israeli Drama About People Trying to Survive the October 7th Attack (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are lines of dialogue here and there in Avi Nesher’s Our Loves that criticize Benjamin Netanyahu’s regime and the military’s unpreparedness for the October 7th attack, suggesting a left-of-center political perspective (in Israeli terms) on the events.

‘The Fire Within You’ Review: A Monstrous Mama Unleashes in an Admirable but Draining Italian Comedy-Drama Set on a Miserable Christmas Eve (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tempers boil during a Christmas Eve dinner in Milan when the family’s overbearing widowed matriarch Angela (Vanessa Scalera) commandeers the kitchen and starts doling out orders, passive-aggressive self-pity, and endless platters of food seasoned with spite and cigarette ash in caustic Italian comedy-drama The Fire Within You. Premiering in competition at the Venice Film Festival, the latest from director Edoardo De Angelis (Indivisible) has interesting things to say about class, political and N
‘Faith’ Review: Erin Doherty and James McAvoy Excel in a Sensitive Drama That Goes Off the Rails in the Final Reel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Erin Doherty, best known for her turns in Netflix’s Adolescence and The Crown, tears up the screen with an intense but tightly controlled performance as a woman tortured by grief after the unthinkable happens in British writer-director Paul Andrew Williams’ latest, Faith. Both Doherty and her co-star, James McAvoy, also in fine-to-fab fettle here, get a chance to use their own British accents for a change (a yeoman English one for Doherty, Glaswegian for McAvoy) to play working-class characters
