Death Of A Unicorn Dir: Alex Scharfman (13th Floor Film Review)
Is it comedy, fantasy, horror, satire or drama? Death Of A Unicorn is a mysterious thing, much like an actual unicorn, but, unfortunately, not as interesting.
Novocaine – Dir: Dan Bert & Robert Olsen (13th Floor Film Review)
To say that a film moves at breakneck pace is an overworked trope, but this movie really earns the accolade.
A Working Man – Dir: David Ayer (13th Floor Film Review)
When we last saw Jason Statham, he was a Beekeeper, now he is just A Working Man…a blue collar everyman who just happens to have something close to superhuman powers.

You cannot run or hide from it. You must succumb to the darkness.
Anora – Dir: Sean Baker (13th Floor Film Review)
Sean Baker’s Anora, which won the Palme D’or at Cannes, the first American film to do so since Terrence Malick’s Tree of Life, may remind audiences of Pretty Woman. But it’s more subversive and explicit take on the subject of sex work.
Conclave – Directed by: Edward Berger (13th Floor Film Review)
Conclave is a Devilishly Fun Papal Thriller. Elections in 2024 have been decisive and disappointing. Globally far-right parties have surged in popularity. The last-thing you might want to do is sit through a two hour pulse pounding procedural thriller.
