Wendy Ide Screen International It is a perplexing and disorientating piece of storytelling, but throw yourself into the visceral energy that pulses from the screen, and it can be a thrilling experience. Nov 21, 2023 Full Review Michael Talbot-Haynes Film Threat This film is a trip worth taking more than once. Rated: 8.5/10 Nov 8, 2024 Full Review Theodoor Steen ScreenAnarchy Feels alive with the spirit of something being made for the very first time. This is a reset, a renewal. It is the sort of film that is what it is about. And it couldn't be more thrilling. Nov 5, 2024 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Bold and experimental, but often clunky, repetitive and pretentious without palpable chemistry between the leads. Oct 24, 2024 Full Review Marina Richter AWFJ.org ONCE AGAIN (for the first time) isn't your standard narrative. It's a film that feeds on artistic expressions given through dance and verse. Writer/director Boaz Yakin delivers truly brilliant moments that turn his film into an ever more addictive watch. Dec 5, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
