‘The Chronology of Water’ Review: Kristen Stewart’s Visceral and Haunting Directorial Debut Finally Arrives - THE ROLLING TAPE The Chronology of Water is a visceral and haunting portrait of sexual abuse, the ripples that trauma has throughout one’s life, and the avenues one explores to hide or heal.

“THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER is by no means an easy undertaking. We should be so thankful for Stewart’s persistence in getting it made, though; it is one of the most honest and raw films of the year”

CIFF 2025 Review: ‘The Holy Boy’ and the Horror of Suppression - THE ROLLING TAPE The Holy Boy is a harrowing tale of suppression and identity that feels more relevant than ever.

CIFF 2025 Review: Kleber Mendonça Filho’s ‘The Secret Agent’ is a Stylish and Subversive Political Thriller - THE ROLLING TAPE It’s no secret why The Secret Agent has the passionate support it does. Its themes remain urgent as ever as we continue to see countries slide into fascism.

More from CIFF, @apat10.bsky.social reviews THE SECRET AGENT—“This film mourns the darkness of its country’s past while uplifting the very people who made it possible to overcome.”

CIFF 2025 Review: Jafar Panahi Paints a Portrait of Quiet Defiance In ‘It Was Just An Accident’ - THE ROLLING TAPE It Was Just an Accident is Panahi’s first film after his arrest, filmed without permission from the Iranian government. Its very existence is an act of defiance.

In his second review from CIFF, @apat10.bsky.social discusses IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT, a film whose existence is an act of defiance

I found #Highest2Lowest to be an imperfectly glorious testament to Spike Lee and Denzel Washington as artists. Uneven, but the film’s highs soar.

Disney’s Accidental Ode to the Coming-Out Experience: ‘Sky High’ 20 Years Later - THE ROLLING TAPE On the surface, Sky High may just seem like a high school comedy. In reality, the film is thematically rich with ideas about authentic identity and pushing against societal structures.

Happy Birthday #SkyHigh 🚌🦸

@apat10.bsky.social re-examines the Disney film, relating it to the coming out experience and potentially comfort and reassurance to young, Queer viewers

Nicole Kidman is my favorite to ever do it. Happy I got to count down my ten favorite performances from her for TRT:

I asked Supriya Ganesh what Dr. Mohan’s favorite Lorde song would be and her answer made me so happy.

#Sinners is Ryan Coogler’s ode to community & tradition through the lens of the blues. Cinematic, sweeping, & exhilarating. Michael B. Jordan is truly a movie star & Hailee Steinfeld is the best she’s been since True Grit. But Wunmi Mosaku is the beating heart.

Review: Seth Rogen Lovingly Lampoons the Hollywood System in ‘The Studio’ Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s creative partnership ages like the finest of wines. Since bursting onto the scene with Superbad (2007), the two delivered a wide array of raucous and raunchy comedies…

“#TheStudio may just be an early contender for one of the best and smartest comedies of the year.”

#SnowWhite is fine! A serviceable movie for young audiences thanks largely to a wonderful performance from Rachel Zegler. Meanwhile, Gal Gadot is certainly on screen….. unfathomably bad performance. The new songs lack identity & get overshadowed by the classic numbers. Dopey Supremacy!
