SxSW 2021 Review – LUCHADORAS
LUCHADORAS is my favorite documentary at SXSW this year. It’s a great tale of female wrestler in the City of Juarez that find their greatest opponent is their family drama. The must deal with bigger challengers that they face in the ring such as motherhood and Femicide in the City of Juarez. The film follows […]
SxSW 2021 Review – SOUND OF VIOLENCE
SOUND OF VIOLENCE is an amazing movie from director Alex Noyer, which is his feature film debut. This is like a comic book story. I think you should see it as something as more fun and not to be taken seriously. Just suspend your disbelief when you watch this film. This is a comic book […]

SxSW 2021 Review – PAUL DOOD’S DEADLY LUNCH BREAK
PAUL DOOD’S DEADLY LUNCH BREAK is a hilarious dark comedy from director Nick Gillespie. In his directorial debut. He has worked as cinematographer with Ben Wheatley, a director known for the likes of DOWN TERRACE and FREE FIRE. This works like a parody of horror comedy that Vincent Price used to make in the 70s […]
SxSW 2021 Review – RECOVERY
Recovery (United States, dir. Mallory Everton, Stephen Meek) *** out of **** With a lot of documentaries at SxSW this year that mention the Coronavirus pandemic, less has been mentioned in the narrative feature films, either because production already started before last March in 2020 or, I am guessing, many filmmakers want to stay away […]
SxSW 2021 Review – CLERK
Part of the SxSW Film programming this year is offering a handful of titles that were supposed to play in the 2020 edition. When the event was cancelled last March, many of the titles went into limbo. CLERK was a movie originally on my 2020 schedule and I’m happy it is included on this year’s […]
SxSW 2021 Review: POLY STYRENE: I AM A CLICHE
A very quick review on a doc I enjoyed while in the midst of SxSW screenings! Poly Styrene was a name I forgot about but as soon as POLY STYRENE: I AM A CLICHE started up I was immediately reminded of my teenage punk phase and searching out alternative British Rock when I wasn’t constantly […]
