NYFF Review - 'The Inspection' Unearths Empathy in the Trenches of Bootcamp
The film exhibits a respect for the craft and an empathy for human tribulations that have historically been ignored.

In the mid-1950s, an unnamed convict succsesfully manages to escape from the Goli Otok prison island, seeking shelter in a monastery on the nearby island of Rab and striking a kinship with one of the nuns in it. A few days later, an agent of the Yugoslav State Security Service arrives on the island, desperate to find the man's whereabouts. The nuns and the monks face a decision of their lifetime. Are they going to turn the wounded man they know nothing about to the authorities, or will they continue concealing him and risk their lives in the process?

If you enjoy the bizarre, silly and entertaining world of the horror B-movies and want a break from the nuanced and poignant big budget horror releases, I have a list of gore-fests from the last ten years to enjoy this October.
'Jaded' is a film that focuses on the decisions that can derail our lives. Zanna's story takes you through a wide range of emotions.
Star Wars is better if you believe that Luke Skywalker is gay. You can't change my mind.
A film about family and sacrifice... and carnivorous locusts coming after you.
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.
