JULIE KEEPS QUIET: A junior tennis player stays silent as her coach falls under investigation in Leonardo Van Dijl’s reserved but powerful debut. Certainly one to watch. For @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social#LFF#LFF2024loudandclearreviews.com/julie-keeps-...

First review of the festival for Cinematic Sense and it's a three-in-one. I was lukewarm towards ON BECOMING A GUINEA FOWL, but I liked LA COCINA and was floored by the remarkable FAMILIAR TOUCH. #LFF#LFF2024cinematicsense.home.blog/2024/10/11/l...

Adam Elliot’s Memoir of a Snail is a heartwarming stop motion film that breaks your soul into pieces before putting it back together again.
Megan Park's MY OLD ASS is out in UK cinemas from today. If you haven't seen it yet, make sure you do. It's a funny, mature and heartfelt coming-of-age film. Aubrey Plaza is excellent (as always), but so is newcomer Maisy Stella. My review for In Review Online... inreviewonline.com/2024/09/12/m...
