Extinct (2021): Fresh Donuts, Half Baked Morals
The plot lags, the moral lessons are misguided, but are those fluffy little donut creatures adorable? Yes. Yes, they are.

Moi-même is an experimental narrative film shot from 1968–1969 by Lee Breuer and future members of the theater company Mabou Mines. The film captures the journey of a 12-year-old boy attempting to create a film collective amid the backdrop of the May, 1968 protests in Paris. After decades of abandonment, the filmmaker’s son has revitalized the original footage through editing, the addition of a new script, and a complete soundtrack, honoring the original collaborators' spirit while adding fresh perspectives and acknowledging the passage of time.

The original series is now on Netflix, you should definitely give it a watch. And if you’ve already seen it, watch it again.
A quiet film that does not demand your tears but earns them. It explores love that lingers, timing that fails, and the silence between what was and what could have been.
The film didn’t have to be as long as it is. It just dragged on and on with scenes that had no substance. Every so often we get an action scene, and even those isn’t that fun.
A family drama is woven with quiet yet powerful forces of words and nature.
The Invitation takes a creeping look at two simple premises: reuniting with forgotten friends and new-age spiritualism. Though one seems a bit scarier than the other, the film heightens social awkwardness to a macabre level that puts an uncomfortable look on when the social taboo of grief is put on public display.
