F*CK THAT GUY is not what you expect. Yea it's nominally about a young woman looking to lose her virginity, but it's actually about so much more www.unseenfilms.net/2025/11/fck-...

Quiet Voices in a Noisy World: The Struggle for Change in Jasper, TX opens Friday www.unseenfilms.net/2025/11/quie...

I have thoughts on new version of THE RUNNING MAN and most of them are not good. The short version is it's a mess. Why I think that is in the review: unseenfilms.net/2025/11/the-...

BULL RUN is a well written but overly constructed and overly meta financial comedy that is a bit too technical at times to hold the audience unseenfilms.net/2025/11/bull...

yes I will be reviewing every thing I see for DOC NYC- though the reviews will probably be later than the embargo because-well- too many films An explanation for the few who will be looking for reviews at the embargo unseenfilms.net/2025/11/a-qu...

With DOC NYC starting today there is going to be a flood of pieces for the festival. Reviews drop as embargoes fall. To catch everything bookmark this link to jump to the coverage unseenfilms.net/search/label...

With THE LAST AMBASSADOR playing @DOCNYCfest tomorrow, here is a repost of my review from when it premiered www.unseenfilms.net/2025/11/last...

Having finally seen 2000 METERS TO ANDRIIVKA I think it is one of the most important films on the war in Ukraine. This unflinching look at life on the front line is an Oscar hopeful and playing at @DOCNYCfest www.unseenfilms.net/2025/11/2000...

the Opening Night Film of @DOCNYCfest is WHISTLE about a whistling competition. It may break no new ground, however it is a joyous delight. www.unseenfilms.net/2025/11/whis...

Running man review tomorrow- Its getting longer and longer and meaner and meaner.

Canada's Oscar entry is THE THINGS YOU KILL ain intense thriller which will be better the less you know www.unseenfilms.net/2025/11/the-....

Watching a film that would be great if it didn't stop every couple of minutes for manly men to discuss deep and meaningful things.

Oscar hopeful TRIFOLE is a small gem. The story of a young woman living in England who returns to Italy to help her grandfather quietly packs a punch www.unseenfilms.net/2025/11/trif...

Matt Schulman noticed that RUNNING MAN has the same writer listed twice (its in the film). I'm sure that there is a Hollywood reason- but to me it is an indication of why the script is a mess

Saw RUNNING MAN I officially have never thought an Edgar Wright film was better than ok. Its a tonally all over the place film that is little more than barely connected sequences. It's set in a world that makes no sense The cast is fine

Brief thoughts on the film HUMANS IN THE LOOP www.unseenfilms.net/2025/11/huma...

I hope you like documentaries... and horror films, because over the next two weeks its going to be primarily coverage of DOC NYC and Blood in the Snow. If you think you'll get whiplash bouncing between the two imagine watching both

A look at the financial mess of New York City in the 1970's DROP DEAD CITY hits VOD Friday unseenfilms.net/2025/11/drop...

trying to work on my choices for the end of year voting and finding the gulf between what are my real choices that no one will agree with are and those that would actually have a shot at winning.

And yes I will die on the hill that Elle Fanning deserves on Oscar nomination for PREDATOR BADLAND.

opening Friday in the UK is CALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH about a minister trying to come to terms with the death of his daughter www.unseenfilms.net/2025/10/vall...

Its time for my annual curtain raiser for DOC NYC. It includes links to the films we've previously reviewed as well as a list of the must see titles. www.unseenfilms.net/2025/11/doc-...

And I have to type up the film list for @suddenlyquiet.bsky.social

And I have mostly done with the the films I had to watch. Now to take a break and start writing up 16 films.

Back when I started Unseen films I wrote a piece about William Friedkin's RAMPAGE and it's dueling cuts (www.unseenfilms.net/2010/04/ramp...) I wished for someone to put a special edition together. Well @KinoLorber has just done just that kinolorber.com/product/ramp...

I know I promised to get a review up of Kokuho this weekend but I haven't been able to fit in the three hours to see it.

Thoughts on the Oscar hopeful LITTLE AMELIE OR THE CHARACTER OF RAIN www.unseenfilms.net/2025/11/litt...

And yes I did play 8 hours of D&D with a dungeon master who was an evil ventriloquist from scotland and looked like @bullythelsb.bsky.social's friend john actually if he had a moustache I would have said it was the evil anti-john

Wow- that was so exactly what I expected. Don't get me wrong it's really good- but exactly what I expected.

Wow- that was so exactly what I expected. Don't get me wrong it's really good- but exactly what I expected.

I liked THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB and I hope for a sequel www.unseenfilms.net/2025/11/thur...

and one I have no idea why

BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL: THE KWAME BRATHWAITE STORY at DOC NYC is a must on the big screen- you want to see the images big

From Vanity Fair’s Dictionary for the Motion Pictures, March 1922

Billed as a comedy THE DRIVE BACK HOME is funny but it is also crushingly sad. Set in 1970 it has a man going to rescue his brother so he isn't set to prison for being gay. Charlie Creed Miles & Alan Cumming deserve awards www.unseenfilms.net/2025/11/driv...

A word of warning- there is a good chance that the DOC NYC films are not going to get reviewed close to their screening time. I'm scheduling things and Its just not possible.

TORNADO is not your typical action tale. It cocerns a Japanese woman in 19th century England chased by brigands looking for gold www.unseenfilms.net/2025/11/torn...

trying to figure out who sent me the film I just watched before I saw it for a festival

I will have reviews for KOKUHO and LITTLE AMELIE OR THE CHARACTER OF RAIN over the weekend - I am a bit behind in writing and watching

The DOCNYC curtain raiser is going up Sunday night. It will have links to the 20 or so films we've reviewed previously plus a list of the must sees based on what we've seen so far.

Catch up reviews: TRAINWRECK: AMERICAN APPAREL, AMERICAN MANHUNT OSAMA BIN LADEN and AMERICAN MANHUNT OJ SIMPSON www.unseenfilms.net/2025/11/catc...

Movie tonight kind of went from run of the mill to more run of the mill to intriguing but handled run of the mill

I am going to be behind with a bunch of reviews- I have two films for tomorrow I can't get to tonight (I just got them) and some of th DOC NYC reviews will be later than the screenings because there are too many films

Thoughts on the western LONG SHADOWS www.unseenfilms.net/2025/11/long...

Some words on PREDATOR BADLANDS which is one of my favorite films of 2025 unseenfilms.net/2025/11/pred...

A MATTER OF TIME opens Friday in Seattle. One of the most unseen films, & best films, at this year's Tribeca it is the story of Eddie Vedder's concert for epidermolysis bullosa & the stories of the people who have it. See this and be moved to tears. www.unseenfilms.net/2025/11/matt...

I liked Frankenstein but I did not love it www.unseenfilms.net/2025/11/nit-...

Two films today that if you read the description yoiu knew what they were and then they played out exactly that over 100 minutes with no additional information
