      Its almost too painful a thought: Where could have the careers of women directors have gone if they hadnt been thwarted by sexism ( Read More )
    • Nick Allen

      With the film footage already displaying a bright color palette and a fantastical narrative where Tan plays an assassin, it inspires a dreaminess itself about creativity and filmmaking. ( Read More )

    • Eric Kohn

      Shirkers is a documentary about the production of an uncompleted movie, but it doubles as an upgraded version of the missing project itself. ( Read More )
