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.

The lead performances are so powerful that they go above and beyond almost anything being done in movies in this vein.
