Sleep Has Her House: Cinema at the End of the World

I. The Beckoning The disc had been sitting on my shelf for seven months. A limited-edition Blu-ray I’d preordered like it was a religious relic — not because I was ready to watch it, but because I knew one day I would be. One day it would ask to be seen. That day arrived on the third night of editing my own short film — a slow cinema experiment, silent, textural, aching to become something more th

Fiume o Morte! When Art Creates Fascism

On September 12, 1919, the famous Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio arrived at the Governor’s Palace in Fiume — now known as Rijeka and part of Croatia — and delivered his “occupation speech” to the residents of the city. In the 2025 documentary Fiume o Morte! (literally translated as “Fiume or Death!”), the camera slowly pulled back from a reenactment of this historic speech, revealing several mod

Touch Me With the Ghost of Us: Marina and Ulay’s Wordless Resurrection

. A SCENE TO REMEMBER . Touch Me With the Ghost of Us: Marina and Ulay’s Wordless Resurrection Some moments aren’t scenes at all. They’re ruptures. They don't play; they haunt. No dialogue, no score, just the tectonic sound of two souls breaking the air between them. The Artist Is Present for most of its running time it's a polished chronicle of endurance art, an archive of long stares, ritual cal

Is Grizzly Man Summer Goals?

Delicate grass. Impassable mountains. Total silence. Isn't nature great? It's a teacher, and there's no better time to learn from the great outdoors than summer. There are few better thrills in life than getting danger close to wild animals. I was once on an outback trail when a moose crossed in front of me. Do you know how big moose are? I sure didn't, until I saw it in person. I do not remember

NoScore: Yeah the only bear you'll see me in any close vicinity to is Paddington... Great article, this knocked it up my watchlist a few spots!

Child Influencers and the Adult Gaze

When Netflix’s Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing dropped in March 2025, it should have made more noise. It exposed a world where children, some barely out of diapers, are marketed as content: packaged, filmed, and sold under the glossy veneer of family vlogging or “kid squads.” Watching it felt less like peering into influencer drama and more like confronting a glaring loophole in how s

Are you the girls who made that movie?

The thread trickles down from one wrist to the next. Wow, look at that colour! So ethnic. You drippin' desi-chica-chandni— "Are you the girls who made that movie?" Are You Those Brown Girls? I've been one of the lucky few who can forget, from time to time, the weight that identity, race, and culture can bear on you. In my past, a lot of learning happened through books and coming-of-age novels, or

"Life Itself" | The Joy and Significance of Being a Film Critic

"Thank you for going on this journey with me, I'll see you at the movies." This is the last line in "Life Itself", a documentary about the iconic film critic Roger Ebert. It is also the concluding sentence in his final blog post titled "A Leave of Presence". To be honest, "Life Itself" is not the most remarkable documentary I have ever seen, but it is the one that resonates with me the most. Rathe

Jimmy in Saigon: A Cinematic Elegy on Loss, Identity, and the Fragility of Memory

Note to the Reader This piece was written in a language that is not my own, but one I’ve come to love as both vessel and threshold. English, to me, is not just a tool but a landscape I’m still learning to walk. What follows is not a perfect translation, nor a definitive version, but rather the trace of a voice crossing borders, a thought that has been lived in one language and reimagined in anothe

Simulating Connection in Rehearsal

We can never really know what someone else is thinking; what we understand is always just a perception, flawed and easily twisted by circumstances and emotions. Watching Nathan Fielder’s The Rehearsal often feels like staying up late alone with your thoughts, obsessively replaying every unhinged moment and bad decision in your life, except with a twist—there’s a camera recording it all, forcing yo

Train Wreck: The Astroworld Tragedy and the Industry's Reckoning

Warning: The following article discusses a documentary about the tragedy of Astroworld. This film explores many details about the chaos, the victims, and witnesses. While the article seeks to honor of the chaos, it is essential to prioritize well-being in concerts, respects the norms of festivals, and just like in the Avicii's article to prioritize the dangers of idolatry to celebrities. By rule,

Oscar Moments That Keep Me Up at Night

Is it just me or is this the longest Oscar season of all time? From Chalamet's never-ending A Complete Unknown press tour, to everything that is Emilia Pérez, to the continuing discourse around Anora, it feels like this year's Academy Awards is the buzziest award show in a long time. The Oscars ceremony often drags on for hours, with the ratio of unforgettable moments to dull ones roughly 1:1000 i

Caribbean Currents: Two Standout Films from Florida and Puerto Rico

Recently, I had the pleasure of watching two new Caribbean films that premiered at major North American film festivals; they have since drawn considerable attention. One is River of Grass, a Florida-based documentary that won the Jury Prize-International Feature Documentary at Toronto’s Hot Docs. The other is This Island, a Puerto Rican drama that made its debut at the Tribeca Film Festival in New

You Have No Idea How Fast I Pressed Play On American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden

Week nights are hard. I get home from work late, have to do something about dinner, maybe get a workout in, and still find time to watch something. The bane of my existence is spending eons searching the streamers for something good. Luckily, some nights, Netflix makes it easy. Take last Wednesday. After another rough day of grinding out shareholder value, I arrived home and went through my usual

Hunting Matthew Nichols Impacting my Heart Rate

It is a well-known fact that you should not bring cameras into the woods or disturbingly community-oriented small island towns. A fact that the audience of Hunting Matthew Nichols (2024) is extraordinarily aware of, as they watch the protagonists forget it. It is in this powerful psychological torture that Hunting Matthew Nichols is one of the most impactful independent films of the past year. Bas

Who We Are is All That We’ve Forgotten: Cameraperson - Using Unused Footage to Find Meaning in Being a Documentarian

The opening title sequence focuses on a wide stretched highway, with dark clouds clogging the sky. We see a car drive by every several seconds. After a few silent moments later, we see lightning and roaring thunder, but also, you hear a person behind the camera breathily whisper: “wow.” A couple of quiet moments more, she sneezes. Twice. The camera rattles a bit. Then the title pops up: Camerapers

The Case of Malaysian Flight 370 Through 2 Different Lenses

I'm at the airport waiting for my 17-hour flight. I’m not happy about it, but I just got YouTube Premium, so I downloaded 15–20 hours of that good YouTube fear-mongering documentary content. Among my recommendations was a video by a creator named Green Dot Aviation titled "What Netflix Got Wrong." Given my interest in aviation mysteries and my past disappointment with "MH370: The Plane That Disapp
