Touching Short Pierre West screens at the Fall 2025 New Jersey Film Festival on Sunday, September 21
by Morgan Kalmbach
published 2025-09-19

Directors Henrik Larsson and Jakob Arevärn’s film Pierre West centers on Pierre, a young Swedish man, through two distinct periods of time in his life between 2007 and 2024, exploring his most emotional, joyful, and sadness-filled experiences and thoughts. Throughout the film, audiences witness Pierre as he navigates past trauma and the challenges of life. Filmed between 2007 and 2024, Pierre West sticks both as a time piece and a testament to the hard work of its creators in its poignant writing, emotional performances, and moving use of visual language.

New Release Review - "Highest 2 Lowest"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-09-11
Highest 2 Lowest is an apt title for Spike Lee's latest, as it's a film of peaks and troughs. The highs come courtesy of a pair of hammy but undeniably watchable performances from Denzel Washington and Jeffrey Wright. The lows come from, well, everything else, from a script that never settles on one idea long enough for it have impact to a wildly inappropriate score that sounds like a bad Riverdance knockoff.
