The Yonkers Film Festival 2022 In Review
A summary of the films featured in this annual event taking place in Westchester.

In a Pacmanesque system, a P20 coin, Filipino fellowmen, and a family navigate their way through the glitching “mahal” (love), “mahal” (expensive), “mahal kita” (I love you), and “mahal kita” (earning is difficult).
A summary of the films featured in this annual event taking place in Westchester.
A complex, realistic, and loving mother-daughter relationship is at the heart of this story about Black pageants and the fight for a better future.
Nightbooks, the newest entry in children's horror, honors classic horror films, focuses on themes of acceptance, and has awesome production design.
Pressure is an unambiguously great movie, lead by convincing performances, a well-crafted script, good direction, and at least some social awareness.
In a film where a Black couple is framed to be the lead characters, they still managed to get shuffled off to the sidelines. The enthusiastic cast delivers well on goofy bits- but can only go so far before they begin to fall flat.
