'Braid' (2018) by Mitzi Peirone

Vibe: Have you ever done too many psychedelics and experienced ego death? This movie is like that, although a little less terrifying. I'm not sure how I would categorize it genre-wise. It's not exactly a horror, psychological thriller, or art-house film. It has aspects of each

Directing and writing credits: "Tick, Tick, Tick, Boom!" is written and directed by Daniel Palladino. I don't have any news about him specifically, but S3 of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" drops on December 6, just in time for my holiday-induced depressive spiral. Mark your

'Gilmore Girls' Season 4, Episode 17: Girls in Bikinis, Boys Doin' the Twist

Directing and writing credits: "Girls in Bikinis, Boys Doin' the Twist" is directed by Jamie Babbit, written by Amy Sherman-Palladino. I desperately want Babbit to direct another feature film. I revisit "But I'm a Cheerleader" (1999) once every few years and surprisingly, it

'Veronica Mars' Season 4: Business as Usual (+Bombs!)

This article contains spoilers for Season 4 of "Veronica Mars." Unless you are a monster who hates surprises, don't read this if you haven' watched it. As a young girl, I was a sucker for tough female role models. The Marissa Coopers, Felicity Porters, and

Interview with Ellen Adair, Kris Arnold, & Alexandra Dell on 'Roommating' (2018)

I met Alex last year at a networking event (gag) for NYC Web Fest and immediately liked her. We somehow managed to skip all of the small talk bullshit and actually have an interesting conversation about film, art, and the difficulties of negotiating a pay raise. Post-festival, we've

'Gilmore Girls' Season 4, Episode 16: The Reigning Lorelai

Directing and writing credits: "The Reigning Lorelai" is directed by Marita Grabiak, written by Jane Espenson. This is Grabiak's first (and only) episode of "GG," and she does a commendable job. I imagine it would be relatively boring to direct this kind of TV

'Romantic Comedy' (2019) by Elizabeth Sankey

Vibe: "Romantic Comedy" is a critical essay come to life. Every filmmaker should watch this movie because it's a testament to the fact that you don't need a huge budget to make something fantastic. It's exclusively comprised of clips from romantic comedies

'Kate Nash: Underestimate the Girl' (2018) by Amy Goldstein

Vibe: "Underestimate the Girl" may contain elements of cinema vérité, but it's actually a carefully crafted music documentary. The emotional beats are perfectly timed, and the takeaway message is clear: no matter how many times the world tries to crush us, women will continue to rise

'South Mountain' (2019) by Hilary Brougher

Vibe: "South Mountain" is sweaty summer incarnate. Everything is hot, sticky, and slightly disheveled. No one is thinking straight or making great choices. Cigarettes are secretly smoked on kitchen stairs, berries are picked, tea is sipped. For a few weeks, you get to spend time with a family

'A Colony' (2018) by Geneviève Dulude-De Celles

Vibe: Uncomfortable. "A Colony" brought me right back to high school and viscerally reminded me of how much I hated it. It's impossible not to connect with Mylia (Emilie Bierre) as she walks into a party and sees her classmates effortlessly socializing and having fun. Why
