Cutaways
(2025)
|
Alex Valencia
|
Schwab’s voice remains confident, and his affection for these messy, flawed characters is evident throughout. The film doesn’t aim to be groundbreaking; instead, it offers a raw, intimate look at what’s left when the spotlight fades.

10DANCE
(2025)
|
Alex Valencia
|
10DANCE is, at its most stripped-down version, a deeply romantic film. It believes that love doesn’t weaken ambition; it completes it. That the perfect dance partner isn’t the one who obeys, but the one who understands.

I Wish You All the Best
(2024)
|
Alex Valencia
|
From the first scene, Dorfman’s hand as a director feels deeply personal. She captures the suffocating stillness of rejection, the discomfort of starting over, and the hesitant joy of self-discovery with remarkable sensitivity.

(2025)
|

The film captures the internal battle of a man desperate for freedom yet bound by duty, shame, and fear. Lucas’ journey is one of self-discovery, but also repression, guilt, and longing.

Twinless
(2025)
|
Alex Valencia
|
What makes Twinless stand out is its ability to surprise. Just when we think we know where it’s headed, it veers off, challenging us to reconsider what we know about love, loss, and the ways people cope with both.

Almost Popular
(2024)
|
Alex Valencia
|
Almost Popular doesn’t reinvent the coming-of-age wheel. But it does give us a fresh perspective on how technology has reshaped the high school experience today, and the dangers of chasing attention in a world where clout disappears as fast as it arrives.

The Old Guard 2
(2025)
|
Alex Valencia
|
The Old Guard 2 isn’t a bad film. It’s just an incomplete one. And after five years, we were hoping for more than a glorified setup. [...] The Old Guard 2 simply doesn’t stand on its own, and its unresolved ending leaves too much hanging.

The Queen of My Dreams
(2023)
|
Alex Valencia
|
The Queen of My Dreams is lush, emotional, and deeply human. It’s a story about connection—between mothers and daughters, between generations, between the past we inherit and the future we choose to build.

Friend of the World
(2020)
|
Alex Valencia
|
It’s short, strange, and a little rough around the edges. But if you’re into experimental storytelling and indie sci-fi that values mood over exposition, Friend of the World is well worth your time.

Kellie’s journey is extraordinary. Not just because of her role in boxing history, but because of the bravery it took to tell her truth in such an unforgiving spotlight.

Through firsthand accounts and rich historical context, Studio One Forever shows us exactly what it meant to be part of this community when being out was an act of defiance.

Strange World
(2022)
|
Alex Valencia
|
And while Strange World is quite entertaining and groundbreaking in terms of representation, we have to admit that it's not the best movie of its genre and ends up feeling formulaic both in terms of storytelling and character development.

My Policeman
(2022)
|
Alex Valencia
|
It is perhaps the tender and delicate approach to the main romance that makes this film worth seeing (or streaming). Forbidden love stories always have something that manages to push your heartstrings to the limit, and My Policeman is no different.
