Middleburg Review: “Rebuilding”
By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
October 16, 2025
Rebuilding (Max Walker-Silverman, 2025) 4½ out of 5 stars In his 2022 feature debut, A Love Song, writer/director Max Walker-Silverman demonstrated a gentle, but assured, confidence behind the camera that made of the movie a poignant study of late-in-life romance. Lead performers Dale Dickey and Wes Studi brought their A games to the project, as did cinematographer Alfonso Herrera Salcedo, the sincere performances and breathtaking imagery ... >>
Screamfest Review: “Big Baby”
By Billy Ray Brewton
October 14, 2025
Big Baby (Spider One, 2025) 3 out of 5 stars As a writer myself, I am always interested in and drawn to films about the process, as it were: the use of imagination to create ideas and the ability to take those ideas and turn them into a cohesive, engaging, and authentic story.

New/Next Review: “OBEX”
By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
October 5, 2025
OBEX (Albert Birney, 2025) 4 out of 5 stars The films of director Albert Birney—be they of the live action variety (Strawberry Mansion) or animated (Tux and Fanny)—are always loving tributes to the meticulous process of artistic creation. Each shot within each scene is composed with great consideration, the visual components beautifully coming together while also advancing the story. Such is very much the case with his latest, OBEX, in which ... >>
Heartfelt Spirit Elevates “Good Boy”
By Adam Vaughn
October 3, 2025
Good Boy (Ben Leonberg, 2025) 3 out of 5 stars October launches with a unique horror film centered around one of the most original and adorable lead characters of the genre: a dog! Good Boy (not to be confused with the TIFF 2025-premiering Good Boy reviewed recently by FFT Editor Chris Reed) follows Indy (playing himself), a loving pup who follows human Todd (Shane Jensen) to his grandfather’s secluded—and somewhat ... >>
