Sundance 2022: Cha Cha Real Smooth Review

For a film about a messy Newark non-starter, Cha Cha Real Smooth is full of optimism and integrity

The documentary is interested in one simple question: Does true freedom exist?

It is potentially a landscape-altering piece of work that transcends film festival fame and stands as a stirring nutshell of humanitarian history

Three disparate but distinctly tender films suggest that grief is about losing yourself only until you find yourself

Mimi Cave’s romantic horror satire is a twisted lovechild of Promising Young Woman and Get Out, while Ed Perkins’ documentary untells the Diana story

They say personal is political, but perceptive movies like these interpret it as: love is the legislature of respect

It’s a beguiling snapshot of a country on the brink of both cultural and environmental apocalypse

It is everything and nothing at once, rightfully composed of 12 tonally disparate chapters, a prolog and an epilog
