Mr. K (2024) 79% EDIT “Mr. K may sound like a daunting cinematic experience. But never fear. All these heady concepts are housed inside a riveting fairy tale world, full of beauty, horror, and humor. A spoonful of surrealism helps the medicine go down.” – Hammer to Nail Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror (2025) 97% EDIT “Linus' mission was to imbue his film with the emotions and sentiments that people shared on youtube and in every other space where fans gather. I would say, he accomplished his mission.” – Hammer to Nail Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Boys Go to Jupiter (2024) 93% EDIT “It’s hardly the first film to depict that nebulous, confusing, and sometimes scary period betwixt teenhood and adulthood. But it feels fresh in so many ways. This one has sleeper classic written all over it.” – Hammer to Nail Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Year of the Fox (2023) EDIT “Kudos to the casting director, Amey René, who knocked it out of the park. The main actors deliver in spades, but they’re ably backed by a solid supporting cast.” – Hammer to Nail Aug 22, 2025 Full Review I Don't Understand You (2024) 52% EDIT “It’s more funny than horrific by a wide margin, but it fully embraces the darkness implied by “dark comedy”.” – Hammer to Nail Jun 6, 2025 Full Review I Know Catherine, the Log Lady (2025) 100% EDIT “Green’s film goes deep into Catherine’s life, to show that she was so much more than the things that made her famous. But it also tells a behind-the-scenes story that Twin Peaks fans have longed for since The Return first aired in 2017. ” – Hammer to Nail May 10, 2025 Full Review Singham Again (2024) 32% EDIT “An impactful, at times grotesque, occasionally comedic, and wholly romantic depiction of what it takes to regain a sense of normalcy and contentment after losing everything you once knew.” – Hammer to Nail Nov 1, 2024 Full Review The Becomers (2023) 94% EDIT “Despite the bleak themes, the overall tone is one of optimism. It’s not saccharin or overly sentimental. It simply acknowledges the fact that even in the face of extinction, love can endure.” – Hammer to Nail Oct 19, 2024 Full Review Cora Bora (2023) 78% EDIT “A hilarious movie that will hopefully propel Megan Stalter to the stardom she deserves. ” – jessicabaxter.com Aug 30, 2024 Full Review The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982) 52% EDIT “There are, of course, some Hot Probs, but Dolly ain't one. Our National Treasure holds the floor, and even sneaks in her own song to round out the catchy soundtrack.” – jessicabaxter.com Jun 7, 2024 Full Review May December (2023) 91% EDIT “This movie is serving THEMES. Why does Hollywood love to look for the humanity in bad people? Can a person truly live a life without regret?” – jessicabaxter.com Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Bottoms (2023) 91% EDIT “It’s a smart comedy disguised as a stupid one, with a thousand jokes landing per minute and some of the *tightest* mise en scène we’ve ever scène. But even if it were just a stupid comedy, guys make those all the time. That’s the point of feminism.” – jessicabaxter.com Jun 7, 2024 Full Review The Assistant (2019) 93% EDIT “The Assistant is also relatable anyone who has ever had a job description vague enough to become the office task dumpster...” – jessicabaxter.com Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Saltburn (2023) 72% EDIT “A carefully-constructed masterpiece...” – jessicabaxter.com Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Monica (2022) 84% EDIT “It takes a very delicate screenplay to convey a story like this without dipping into egregious exposition and melodrama, and it takes nuanced performers to pull it off.” – Hammer to Nail Jun 7, 2023 Full Review The Lure (2015) 89% EDIT “Polish horror rock opera, The Lure, is a bit of both, but with some extremely creative motifs and appropriately alluring imagery to make the more misogynistic aspects of being a fish lady more palatable.” – Hammer to Nail Oct 15, 2022 Full Review The MisEducation of Bindu (2020) EDIT “I hope the film finds its audience because its audience desperately needs films like this.” – Hammer to Nail Nov 23, 2021 Full Review When Today Ends (2021) 100% EDIT “Leoni's narrative feature debut is a powerful missive on a far-too-invisible mental health crisis.” – jessicabaxter.com Oct 1, 2021 Full Review Here Alone (2016) 56% EDIT “A riveting film with home-hitting elements like the initial uncertainly surrounding how bad things would get with the "virus", the prevalence of masks, and how quickly one can get used to being alone, despite the mental unhealthiness of isolation.” – jessicabaxter.com May 14, 2021 Full Review The Pink Cloud (2021) 95% EDIT “A meditative, understated disaster film from writer/director Iuli Gerbase.” – Hammer to Nail May 7, 2021 Full Review Wyrm (2019) 89% EDIT “Wyrm is amusing and heartfelt and I recommend it to anyone who likes quirky films about sad people.” – Hammer to Nail Apr 30, 2021 Full Review Censor (2021) 89% EDIT “Censor is a bit of an education in a lost era of British cinema, as well as a tribute to the horror genre, and a psychological mind-bender. Bailey-Bond is certainly a director to watch.” – Hammer to Nail Apr 30, 2021 Full Review Transference: A Love Story (2020) EDIT “Transference is a difficult watch, but those who seek veracity in their romantic dramas, or wish to study a cautionary tale for therapeutic purposes, will find the film riveting and perhaps even refreshing.” – jessicabaxter.com Apr 23, 2021 Full Review The Power (2021) 84% EDIT “Here's hoping films like The Power will shed some enough light on the corruption that it can no longer hide in the shadows.” – Hammer to Nail Apr 23, 2021 Full Review This Is Not a War Story (2021) 100% EDIT “This is Not a War Story brings us the horrors of war without having to see the war itself.” – jessicabaxter.com Mar 19, 2021 Full Review
