Birds of War (2026) 10/10 EDIT “Birds of War may seem like an unapproachable, highly dramatic story that will make it difficult to connect, given our very different lives. However, there is enough eerie similarity between their world and ours to easily lock in with their story.” – Geek Vibes Nation Jan 27, 2026 Full Review TheyDream (2026) 8.5/10 EDIT “TheyDream, if nothing else, offers us a look deep into one story that matters, one like our own, despite our many differences. Despite all of our personal imperfections, we can find, through memory, our own liberation.” – Geek Vibes Nation Jan 24, 2026 Full Review The Oldest Person in the World (2026) 100% 7.5/10 EDIT “When faced with impending death, it must be remembered that life is nothing if not full of promise and value. These folks may have lived for a century, but we never know when our time is up. Every moment matters. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Everybody To Kenmure Street (2026) 100% 8/10 EDIT “Given recent events in the United States, this film could not be more topical to show the importance of building community, not only for enrichment, but sadly to protect one another from the impending harm of overreaching governmental agencies.” – Geek Vibes Nation Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Shuffle (2025) 100% 9/10 EDIT “Addiction robs us of many wonderful human beings. Something must change, and Benjamin Flaherty has done admirable work bringing that humanity to the forefront in Shuffle. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Cover-Up (2025) 98% 9/10 EDIT “Cover-Up is both a reminder and a warning. Even if we would like to think that we have grown past the atrocities of the past, it is clear that this is a pattern of behavior by our nation.” – Geek Vibes Nation Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Goodbye June (2025) 65% 6/10 EDIT “Thanks to the director and the team of tremendous actors she has gathered, despite its faults, it is still easy to recommend Goodbye June.” – Geek Vibes Nation Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Peaches Goes Bananas (2024) 5.5/10 EDIT “Peaches Goes Bananas was a real opportunity for the genuine woman to be allowed to be viewed. Sadly, there are no guarantees in documentaries. Losier cannot simply write an arc for real people, no matter how much we wish it were so.” – Geek Vibes Nation Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Cactus Pears (2025) 97% 8.5/10 EDIT “Cactus Pears, much like its namesake, is worth the time and effort. Slowly working its way into our hearts, this story, which at first seems distant, slow, and not of our particular place, becomes simply human and connected.” – Geek Vibes Nation Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Come See Me in the Good Light (2025) 100% A EDIT “You cannot speak about Come See Me In the Good Light without being awestruck by the power of love and connection. Yes, there is pain and struggle, but all that means is that we are still alive and fighting.” – InSession Film Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Brooklyn (2015) 97% A EDIT “In short, Brooklyn is one of the very best films of the past decade and worth looking back on.” – InSession Film Nov 8, 2025 Full Review I'm Not Everything I Want to Be (2024) 100% B+ EDIT “It is rare when, within a well understood genre, we see something that simply feels new.” – InSession Film Nov 8, 2025 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 91% 8/10 EDIT “The film manages to inform us of a little history, but more importantly, it is a pleasant, almost relaxing few hours with some true heroes of film.” – Geek Vibes Nation Nov 7, 2025 Full Review River of Grass (2025) 100% B+ EDIT “River of Grass is both a travelogue and a call to action. Especially given our current political climate (one in which our planet is taking a terrifying back seat), its message could not be more important.” – InSession Film Nov 3, 2025 Full Review Séance (2024) 100% B EDIT “Vivian Kerr, paired with her lead actress, Scottie Thompson, manage to craft a portrait of imperfection that seems to beg for analysis.” – InSession Film Nov 3, 2025 Full Review There Was, There Was Not (2024) 100% 8.5/10 EDIT “The film truly does show us the meaning behind “there was, there was not.” The stories that we tell are not just enjoyable; they are necessary.” – Geek Vibes Nation Nov 1, 2025 Full Review All That's Left of You (2025) 100% 8.5/10 EDIT “It is about family, connection, and hopefully, finally, a reach towards healing.” – Geek Vibes Nation Oct 31, 2025 Full Review If You See Something (2025) 7.5/10 EDIT “If You See Something thankfully forces us to remember that none of these problems have been solved, and worse, most of them have either been swept under the rug or made much worse. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Violent Ends (2025) 67% 7/10 EDIT “Like most films, Violent Ends is a bit derivative. But, although there is not much here that is wholly original, it tells its story well enough to be entertaining throughout.” – Geek Vibes Nation Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Christy (2025) 67% C EDIT “Christy offered so many of these chances, but the film chooses to travel straight down the middle and they are deeply lucky to have actresses like Sweeney and O’Brian who can carry this to a winning decision, even if just barely. ” – InSession Film Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Mistress Dispeller (2024) 95% 8/10 EDIT “Mistress Dispeller manages to draw in its audience, even without the standard practice of breathtaking reveals or high levels of emotionality.” – Geek Vibes Nation Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Last Days (2025) 32% 3/10 EDIT “This movie wants to have its cake and eat it, too. Unfortunately, the audience, left wanting even a crumb, goes hungry. And this time, there are no miracles of the loaves and fishes to prove his point. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Oct 20, 2025 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 97% 9/10 EDIT “Panahi, a master of tone, flips from ultra serious to a Shakespearean comedy of errors, to a family drama, and finally all the way back to where the film started; all without ever missing a beat or feeling inauthentic. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Oct 15, 2025 Full Review Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) 77% A- EDIT “Kiss of the Spider Woman, like film, is many things. It is a beautiful, colorful love story. It is also a warning.” – InSession Film Oct 13, 2025 Full Review New Wave (2024) 100% B+ EDIT “New Wave manages to find a middle ground allowing us all our faults and a real chance at reconciliation.” – InSession Film Sep 19, 2025 Full Review
