'While Mortals Sleep' - MiamisFF Review
While Mortals Sleep is enthralling quick-fix horror that offers thrills and excitement with such a short runtime and left me truly impressed with all levels of filmmaking.

Embracing a temporary visual impairment, a filmmaker immerses in her family’s 1990s home movies, composing a narrative that reimagines her father’s vision. They reconnect in the present, amid vulnerability, awkwardness and love: the story of a gardener and a one-eyed woman.

The original Mothra is a fun monster movie that has way stronger lore, music, and special effects than most of its contemporaries.
Mark Anthony Green was unable to connect all of the pieces in his debut feature film, leaving Opus as a middling entry in an already oversaturated genre.
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.
A pampered dog who gets lost and has to learn to live on his own while being flexible with surroundings.
Every movement becomes a question of identity. To become who we are meant to be. In order to reach that we often have to shed who we once were, and that shedding can sometimes be so brutal it’s ungraceful.
