A decade is a strange amount of time for nostalgia. Long enough for a child to become a teenager, and...

Eleni does not need Douglas to touch her; she needs him to need her. That distinction gives Night Nurse its peculiar charge. Georgia Bernstein’s feature debut takes place inside an upscale retirement community, yet its real setting is the unstable border between care and appetite. A nurse may help someone bathe, swallow medication, remember a name, or make it safely across a room. Each task requires trust. Each task can also become a little theatre of dependence. Cemre Paksoy plays Eleni as a young woman whose stillness is difficult to classify. She arrives at the facility watchful and eager to...

A Buddhist monk jokes that shaved heads belong to monks or conmen while A Wen carefully runs a razor across his scalp. The remark suits a man who has spent years moving between roles: immigrant child, street seller, gangster, prisoner, restaurant owner, father and spiritual seeker. Xisi Sofia Ye Chen builds From Dawn to Dawn around those identities without pretending they fit into a clean progression. The director’s older brother has returned to China from Barcelona, staying near his birthplace and testing a quieter existence at a monastery. Yet the calm setting does little to settle him. In a lonely...

Five disappearances between 1945 and 1950 give Glastenbury Mountain a gravity that no phantom light or Bigfoot story can match. Those cases form the firmest ground beneath From the Beyond: High Strangeness in the Bennington Triangle, yet director Seth Breedlove keeps stepping outward, from documented absence into a wilderness of UFOs, haunted homes, impossible stone formations, and distorted time. The setting carries enough history before the paranormal material arrives. Glastenbury began as a logging town, briefly attempted to survive as a tourist destination, then became an unincorporated ghost settlement in 1937. Its abandonment gives the film a physical foundation for...

Sixty seconds is enough time to turn a familiar Capture the Flag match into a bluff. One player chooses a hiding place somewhere inside the team’s territory, opponents attempt to read that decision, and a mode built around fixed bases suddenly becomes a game of misdirection. Last Flag, developed by Night Street Games, builds its five-versus-five matches around that adjustment. Each team hides a flag near its pyramid before searching for the opposing one, carrying it home, and defending the captured objective for one minute. The basic structure remains recognizable to anyone who played Capture the Flag in Team Fortress...

Arinzo’s survival should destabilize every room before she enters it. Instead, The Return of Arinzo spends much of its running time hiding her behind political maneuvering, family quarrels, kidnapping, church sermons, and a warning left at a graveyard. Iyabo Ojo’s sequel to the 2013 film expands its story across Nigeria, Ghana, and Tanzania, yet the scale works against the simple pressure promised by its title. Aisha Williams has built a life upon silence. Her husband, Marcus, is pursuing his party’s presidential nomination, placing their family beneath cameras, crowds, and public scrutiny. Years earlier, Aisha belonged to a violent gang led...

Parker returns home because her sister is dead, yet the town receives her with the indifference of a place that had already begun forgetting them both. Los Angeles had given her distance, auditions, acting classes, and a life built from borrowed lines. Arizona gives her Indiana’s voicemail, an empty house, and a final warning she ignored. Zeshaan Younus shapes I’ve Seen All I Need to See around that refusal of comfort. Indiana had been involved in some kind of dangerous transaction before her death, and a biker, a bearded stranger, and a threat delivered beside Parker’s bed suggest a criminal...
