Wilson Chapman IndieWire At its best, Yana Alliata’s sharp feature finds a balance between both serenity and stress, effectively placing the audience in the mind of its confused audience surrogate. Rated: B Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Rod Machen Austin Chronicle Reeling will make audiences feel the good vibes of a proper O‘ahu luau while also delivering the weight of life-changing actions that can’t be undone. Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Matthew St. Clair Cinematic Words of a Chaotic Gemini (Substack) Ryan Wuestewald is the guiding force of a thriller about messy family ties that left me wanting a bit more but is powerful enough.
