Incluvie Film Fest 3rd Place Winner: ‘Warmth’ Review
This film is a splendid mix of mediums, but its strength lies in its simplicity and beautiful message of closeness.

An in-depth look at the armaments used in the second Iraqi war. Some are familiar--such as the B-2 Stealth Bomber--while others are profiled on camera for the very first time. Experts like Michael O'Hanlon, a senior official at the Brookings Institution, and USAF Sergeant Jay Perkins offer insights into U.S. tactics and the devices that make it possible, including the state-of-the-art defensive equipment that will protect troops from biological and chemical attack.
This film is a splendid mix of mediums, but its strength lies in its simplicity and beautiful message of closeness.
The plot could’ve really been interesting if the elements of lycanthropy was integrated with perhaps the struggle of identity of being LGBTQ+. It's an experience for so many that as they’re starting to realizing their true selves, they feel like a monster, especially if they come from unsupportive homes or communities. Instead, the horror and transformation elements seem thrown in without contemplation of how this could deepen the narrative.
“Unsung” does not begin to describe the obscurity Bayard Rustin endured in the shadows of the Civil Rights Movement
The film may be a thriller, but I wasn’t thrilled by it. If anything, I was bored and annoyed.
It’s fun, it’s energetic, but it’s also understated and vicarial. Zola is a modern black fairytale and future of black movies.
It’s passionately protective of the women mentioned in the story or appearing on screen. Just like the article and the #MeToo movement, the film could help a trapped person find the courage to fight back.
