Sofia Coppola’s ‘On the Rocks’
The film does not add anything to its own conversation or genre, and falls flat once it’s about to end and must declare some sort of conclusion.
Selby Love
When an angel stranded on Earth loses his memory, he becomes a door-to-door salesman, offering bottles of hope to a town that no longer believes — in this slow, transcendental , and surreal black and white short film about purpose and remembering who you are. Selby Love (Bill Caple) is driven to sell tiny bottles of hope, but as the world turns away, he starts to lose the hope he once carried. When another angel (Mirren Mack) is sent to find him, Selby is forced to confront what he’s forgotten — and whether hope can survive in a world that no longer wants it. Shot in a minimalist , transcendental style, Selby Love blends spiritual allegory with dreamlike realism to explore the quiet ache of losing purpose and the strange, fragile beauty of remembering it.

Caught Stealing : A Blood-Soaked, Laugh-Out-Loud Noir
Darren Aronofsky’s Caught Stealing is a gritty, darkly funny thrill ride through 1998 New York, with Austin Butler delivering a raw, magnetic turn as Hank Thompson—a washed-up ex-ballplayer turned bartender whose life implodes after cat-sitting for his punk neighbor drags him into a violent underworld of gangsters, crooked cops, and chaos. Brutal yet unexpectedly hilarious, the film blends noir grit with midnight-movie absurdity, proving Aronofsky can reinvent himself while Butler cements his status as a true movie star.
