Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Writer-director Michael Clowater and his cast fill the screen with sparky attitude and offbeat character touches that are both funny and honest. Rated: 4/5 Apr 30, 2025 Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said Being true to oneself, no matter the cost, the effect we have on others, suffering and redemption, death and mercy make a strong brew, kind of a bumpkin Gothic realist film about the human condition. Rated: 4/4 Dec 6, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
