Review: Honeyland from member James Rosario.
In a remote desert valley in North Macedonia, Hatidze Muratova ekes out a living as one of Europe’s last wild beekeepers. Her knowledge of the bees she depends on is surpassed only by her instinctual and natural ability to care for them. The landscape is harsh but beautiful, and Hatidze’s life if one of toil and small joys. She seems content as she sells her sought-after jars of honey at local markets and cares for her ailing, bed-ridden mother.

“Color Out of Space”, on the other hand, feels more like a project that has been given the time and energy to feel out what exactly it wants to be. With the advent of the internet age and the new empire that is independent film production, this feels the time when Stanley is really going to get his chance to shine as a filmmaker, free of the constraints that studio filmmaking, once the only way to feasibly produce visually ambitious films, placed upon him. Working with a company like Elijah Wood’s SpectreVision, which encourages genre filmmakers of all ilk to let their freak flag fly, feels almost like too perfect of a match-up for Stanley’s return to feature filmmaking.
And with time, care, and legitimate vision, “Color Out of Space” is a beauty of an extraterrestrial sort. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen before, and, despite my own familiarity with Lovecraft’s short story, it still held me on the edge of my seat by effectively emulsifying its style and substance into one fluid being.

I have a small connection with Richard Stanley which makes viewing Color Out of Space feel like a strangely touching moment. Stanley’s new film, based on the short story by H.P. Lovecraft, is his f...Listen: Film Festival Alliance, Episode 1 with member Kevin Sampson.

"Weathering with You" comes in as another strong entry in Makoto Shinkai’s filmography. Above all else, it uses animation in a way I’ve never seen before. Some scenes I thought were CG were actually hand drawn. The way the rain falls and interacted with the environment is creative and original, genuinely unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Aside from the water, the art style works quite well, not trying too hard to be a film existing only for aesthetics. The reason this works so well is because the focus stays on the plot, which is one of the strongest aspects "Weathering with You" has.

"Like a Boss"’ premise of best friends Mia (Tiffany Haddish) and Mel (Rose Byrne) selling their makeup company to cosmetics titan Claire Luna (Salma Hayek) — who promptly turns on them — is about as barely-sketched an outline as they come.
