Indie Film Review: The Mentor

June 25, 2020June 25, 2020 Jeremie Sabourin

Indie Film Review: This Teacher

June 16, 2020 Jeremie Sabourin

Mark Jackson’s new film, THIS TEACHER, is an uncomfortably tense, and sometimes misguided, film about a young woman struggling with her purpose in life.

Lockdown 2020 Review: Da 5 Bloods

June 15, 2020 Jeremie Sabourin

Spike Lee gives viewers another emotionally heavy story hampered by too much plot and a dose of that unavoidable Spike Lee propaganda in DA 5 BLOODS.

Short Film Review: The Erl King

June 12, 2020June 12, 2020 Jeremie Sabourin

Callum Windsor’s debut short, THE ERL KING, is an atmospheric take on Goethe’s poem from 1782 that lacks some of the emotional punch of its source material.
