The First Vampire in China 

Based on a true story, this sports movie is centered around a college football player.

Effortlessly beautiful and surprisingly tragic.

The Magician's Elephant has a strong multicultural cast and a heartwarming story about bringing two long-lost siblings back together

The Cycle refuses to lean into the same old, same old monster-movie tropes and builds the entire premise around the intellect and the history of a capable, smart female protagonist.

Cursed is based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel, and is a retelling of the Arthurian legend with a twist. Instead of King Arthur gaining Excalibur, a teenage sorceress named Nimue (Katherine Langford) does. Her people — the Fey — are being hunted down, and so Nimue will do whatever it takes to save them.

Despite the film’s efforts to reframe its heroine with modern complexity, a certain emotional distance lingers.
