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

Ángel Maura, a seminarian with an innate talent, has an ideal voice for singing. Offers of work and money arise, but Ángel rejects them because he wants to continue his preparation as a priest. His cousin of the same name, however, decides to impersonate him in order to gain fame and fortune. A fan of the singer begins to go out with him, but soon discovers that she is in love with the wrong person.
A summary of the films featured in this annual event taking place in Westchester.
During the third act, the momentum stalls, largely due to the film’s obsession with Kubrick’s visual design. But all in all, Doctor Sleep is a cinematic success, defined by rich characters and high powered emotion.
Elio could be seen as fantastic piece of representation, showing lonely children who feel ostracized that they are not alone. That is, unless you look behind the curtain.
Typically in film, characters suffering from mental illness are used as plot devices or exaggerated for comedy. 'The House that Jack Built's representation exceeds in accuracy and realism of OCD.
Soul takes intangible concepts like self and personality and makes them completely palpable and simple to digest.
These confines won’t really encourage you to read the film as a metaphor for the nerve-inducing experience we’ve all been through over the last year, however — and in the interest of maintaining your dignity, you probably shouldn’t. While the sociopolitical commentary may have worked for the similarly-themed Buried (2010), in which we find Ryan Reynolds on his own buried alive in the Middle East, but this futuristic take on the premise is best left as a piece of distracting entertainment. Nevertheless, the atmosphere is no less suffocating, literally and dramatically.
