Disparus : la guerre invisible en Syrie 

A young boy who runs away from home discovers friendship when he befriends a young dragon in this animated movie.

We’ve always known that Edgar Wright is a mixologist when it comes to blending sound, light, colour, and texture. This is especially true in the first act of the film. In fact, all of my positive feedback is directed exclusively at the first act of this film.

"La Noria" deftly subverts audience expectations as it explores childhood grief, anxieties, and pain. The award-winning short shows us that often our monsters are often sprung from our darkest places.

The film centers around two young women, Becca and Sam, who were once high school sweethearts until they reconnect in their town.

If you were to watch it on streaming when you have nothing to do, it’s still probably a giant waste of time, but you could do far worse.  Paying $18 for a movie ticket and who knows how much for concessions turns this from an exercise in boredom to an exercise in frustration. 

This is a Spanish-speaking short film that contains English subtitles. The short film is produced in the United States.
