Richard Cardinal: Cry from a Diary of a Métis Child 

This little Netflix film was very inspirational. It passes the Bechdel test, and features a different worldview with rural Indian representation.

At 2:17 a.m., every child in a third-grade class wakes up, leaves their home, and disappears into the darkness—except one. The next day, teacher Justine Gandy discovers that Alex Lily is the only student left, while the rest have vanished without a trace. Did Justine have something to do with it, or is a far more sinister force stalking the town, targeting not just children, but anyone in its path?

This film is a splendid mix of mediums, but its strength lies in its simplicity and beautiful message of closeness.

Michael Shanks’ Together is a queasy, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt body-horror trip that fuses love and terror in the most literal sense. Starring real-life couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie, this midnight gem twists Plato’s soulmate myth into a gory, darkly funny tale of codependency, cults, and chainsaws — equal parts romance and nightmare.

A24 keeps producing amazing films and X belongs with all the brilliant titles under its name. And is definitely a must-watch for a film enthusiast!

Unknown Origins promises a cool spin on superheroes and serial killers, but ultimately delivers cheap comedy.
