As filmmakers, our passion continues off set. We love watching great films and want to share them with you. Dive in, explore, and see what’s been breaking the mold this season—especially useful if you want to catch titles before awards season.
"The Oscars may be poised to hand Best Picture to Sinners — the safe, consensus pick with broad support across the Academy. But the film that truly deserves the honor is Frankenstein. Bold, visually daring, and director-driven, Frankenstein reclaims cinema as an art form. While Sinners will be remembered as a solid winner, Frankenstein is the film that will endure — a reminder of why we fell in love with movies in the first place."
In Trier and Vogt’s cinema, beauty is assumed, space listens, and light remembers. Conversations require the right place, silence carries weight, and family pain accumulates quietly rather than exploding. Through wind, hesitation, and fragile confidence, Sentimental Value asks a disarming question: how quickly do we believe we can recognize talent—and what does that certainty cost?
Brett Haley’s People We Meet on Vacation (2026) introduces audiences to what could be called the new Rock Hudson of modern romance. Tom Blyth’s Alex exudes quiet charm and understated charisma, a study in restraint that perfectly counterbalances Emily Bader’s vibrant, mischievous Poppy.
In Song Sung Blue, Craig Brewer celebrates the delicate balance between homage and self-expression. Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson radiate joy as they inhabit a world where tribute is never imitation, and every performance pulses with vitality. The film reminds us that music is both a gift to the audience and a delight for the performer.
A true story can make the absurd feel inevitable. In Roofman, crime is not framed as genius but as the consequence of institutional blindness—where systems obsessed with digital threats fail to notice what is happening directly above their heads. Derek Cianfrance’s restrained direction and Channing Tatum’s understated performance transform a bizarre real-life case into a quiet study of invisibility, control, and the dangerous unpredictability of love.
I rarely see a film twice. Yet The Secret Agent demanded a second encounter. Not for its plot, but for what survives it: history, betrayal, sound, bodies, and a city that refuses to remain in the past.
