The Cut
- Cast: Orlando Bloom, among others.
- Director: Sean Ellis
- Synopsis: After a career-ending defeat, a former champion seeks redemption, but as he trains, his grip on reality frays. What begins as a story of comeback becomes one of obsession, where the line between personal demons and ambition blurs.
- Critics Say:
“With a powerful, committed performance from Orlando Bloom and great ambition behind the camera, The Cut doesn’t land a knockout punch, but it does go the distance.” Rotten Tomatoes
“While the film may not go about its expected narrative path, it never quite manages to make itself into anything interesting or edifying and winds up wasting an undeniably committed performance from Orlando Bloom in the process.” Rotten Tomatoes

- Director: William Bridges
- Synopsis: Best friends since college, Simon and Laura drift apart. Laura takes a test that claims to find her soulmate, stirring up past feelings neither acted upon. Over the years their lives intersect in different ways—but can they risk everything for a love that perhaps has always been there?
- Critic Review Excerpts:
“Both Goldstein and Poots share enough steamy chemistry to keep their characters’ flame for each other burning throughout the film.” Rotten Tomatoes+1
“Unexpectedly touching and even lovely, a grandly sad benediction to people who don’t need no stinkin’ test to tell them who their soulmate is.” Rotten Tomatoes+1
The Man in My Basement
- Cast: Corey Hawkins (as Charles Blakey), Willem Dafoe (Anniston Bennet), Anna Diop, Jonathan Ajayi, others.
- Director: Nadia Latif
- Synopsis: In Sag Harbor, NY, Charles is strapped by debt and about to lose his ancestral home. A strange businessman offers him a proposition: rent out his basement for the summer and get enough money to clear his debts. Charles accepts—but what starts as a lifeline becomes a twisted psychological puzzle involving his family’s past, racial trauma, and the cost of power.
- Critic Review Excerpts:
“Though The Man In My Basement juggles a few too many ideas, Nadia Latif has crafted an unnerving thriller with dynamite performances from leads Willem Dafoe and Corey Hawkins.”
“It is worth a watch for fans of Dafoe and does prompt the audience to consider bigger questions about race, privilege, and power, even if it’s not quite able to answer them.”
