(2022)

Rosa Parra

“Pinocchio” is one of the best films released in 2022. A beautiful depiction of love, war, life, death, purpose and self-assurance. All told through the mind of one of the masters of storytelling.

Thor: Love and Thunder
(2022)

Bale's performance is the standout of this film. But ultimately "Thor: Love and Thunder" is an overly vivid and tonally uneven comedy filled with unearned moments that comes nowhere near its predecessor

The Headless Woman

Martel's more political narrative brings a conventional plot to her normally plotless films. A thought-provoking look at a social-political dynamic that isn't exclusive to just one country. A fantastic visual-audio storytelling approach.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

For a movie with the title “Multiverse of Madness,” this doesn’t live up to its title. The film feels disjointed, concise, and with no substance or heart. Also...I can’t help but notice the poor handling of the female characters.
