‘Lyle’, Cool Concept, Poor Execution.
The idea of Rosemary's baby but with lesbian partners drew me in, and I was anticipating what the film had in store with its reimagining. Unfortunately, it all felt a little too vague to leave an impact.
Bialiatski / Unbroken
A journey into the lived reality of international human rights, observed from within long-term relationships and shared time. At its centre stands Ales Bialiatski, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, whose presence emerges through the voices of those who have lived and worked alongside him over decades. The film is carried by two women - his wife Natalia Pinchuk and his closest colleague Sasha Koulaeva. Through memory, routine gestures and years of shared experience, they reveal what it means to remain with someone when history moves in circles rather than forward. Moving across places marked by authoritarian experience, from Belarus to Tunisia and Colombia, the film follows a recurring rhythm of hope, exhaustion and return, linking human rights defenders across borders and generations. A film shaped by endurance, loyalty and the quiet persistence of human dignity over time.

"A Big Bold Beautiful Journey" (2025) Film Review-Taking a risk to love and trust again via fantastical, shared paths
Strangers in a crowd, exchanging glances, looking away, continually managing to run into each other then part ways, end up at the same diner, find they've rented the exact same vehicles, and are then made to travel together to learn once more whether they can both find genuine adoration and companionship again. This really does, in so many words, sum up the foundational gist of of this new feature film from writer Seth Reiss ("The Menu") and director Kogonada ("The Acolyte", "After Yang"). Yet, it's all only the set-up for the REAL wonder of everything that happens before, during, and in the aftermath of a magical, meaningful journey.
