Becoming Bulletproof
"Becoming Bulletproof" explores the significance, dignity and purpose to be found in lives of the disabled without resorting to being manipulative or romanticizing.
Drunktown’s Finest
"Drunktown's Finest" is the Native American "Crash," and I mean that in a good way. It's a touching, harrowing portrait of life on the reservation.
Where the Road Runs Out
"Where the Road Runs Out" features a message of transformation and returning to one's roots to find their core self will resonate with many of the audience.
Violet
"Violet" is a departure for director Luiso Berdejo. But it clearly embodies his distinctive style, and his voice resonates loudly with this indie gem.
Uzumasa Limelight
“Uzumasa Limelight" is a moving piece of cinema that charms and shines the spotlight on one of Japan’s premier Kirareyaku artists, and its ending is beautiful.
East Side Sushi
Don't let the sweet exterior fool you: Beneath "East Side Sushi's" delicate veneer is a tough, scrappy little picture.
Metalhead
Although slow in parts and questionably plotted, impressive scenery, an intense lead performance and a rousing soundtrack make "Metalhead" worthwhile.
