While the precariousness of an immigrant’s life is part of the story, it never feels truly inhabited. Go to Full Review John Paul King Washington Blade 02/24/2025
An intriguing and occasionally thrilling film experience, and one which will, most likely, become more so with repeated viewings. Go to Full Review Q.V. Hough Vague Visages 02/21/2025

Stockade has a stripped-down Great Expectations quality to it. Blending cloak and dagger with the precarious nature of accepting gifts from phantom benefactors. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Janet N @RT39577074 03/14/2025 Loved this indie neo-noir with an immigrant in the lead. That's more rare than one would expect, especially in the suspense/mystery genre. She's a struggling artist, far from her homeland but wanting to advance her career in America. Stockade has a weirdness in that David Lynch kind of way and the atmosphere is full of Polanski-like creepiness (I'm referring to Polanski's earlier films, not his personal failings). The story is streamlined yet complex and so is this film's style. The three main actors do a great job: Sarah Bitar, Guy de Lancey, and Bahar Beihaghi, but the supporting characters all add their own spice to the proceedings. The film's score also moves things along in a wonderfully lyrical way. In general, Stockade is a well-made movie that kept my interest until the end, and it left me wanting more.
