The filmmakers know exactly what kind of movie their audience wants and have a better-than-average plan to deliver it.

A good-looking mess, to be sure, but a mess, nonetheless..

“Went Up the Hill” doesn’t just explore grief, it expresses it.

“Suspended Time” invites you to listen in your own life to that which is often neglected or unheard.

A movie that will make nearly everyone feel seen, in the most uncomfortable way.

The filmmaker’s quiet confidence unites what might otherwise seem like a grab bag of bits.

In its interrogation of a system and police force whose inherent racism forces Black folks to tell anything but the truth, it never pulls a new lever or uncovers a new line of attack.

The film certainly does what it does, but still doesn’t satisfy beyond its well-advertised selling points.

In fits and spurts, it casts quite the campy, thrilling spell.

No one’s heart is in it, even as other body parts are severely damaged.
