CAROLINA CAROLINE: Mostly predictable Bonnie/Clyde number, only with a couple who lose their charm to too many montages set to country standards. Some pop, little fizz. #pfsspringfest
#pfsspringfest
NINO: A young Parisian gets a bad diagnosis and spends a dark weekend of the soul locked out of his apartment. A quiet film filled with notes of grace, light, and humor. Pellerin is like a mixture of young Hoffman and Clive Owen, transfixing. #pfsspringfest
JANE ELLIOT AGAINST THE WORLD: Small, white firebrand from Iowa kicks everyone’s ass en route to teaching them about systemic racism. The doc portrays her larger-than-life, but with a strong sense of the sacrifices she and her children had to make for her to do “what’s right.” #pfsspringfest
HOKUM: A briny horror caper set in a creep-ass hotel in Ireland. Witches, dour novelists, drunken loons, it’s got quite the array. Best use of cherubs since Botticelli. #pfsspringfest

MJ's Andrea Schmidt shares thoughts on a trio of films she caught at this year's @phillyfilmsociety.bsky.social spring fest. #Middletown #TheBaltimorons #Predators #PFSSpringFest
#Predators dives into the morality of To Catch a Predator in a reconstructive manner tracing the show’s history and lingering impact, leaving you feeling conflicted and icky as a viewer. When does entertainment go too far and at what costs? Solid all around. #PFSSpringFest

MovieJawn's @phillyfilmsociety.bsky.social Spring Fest coverage starts now! Find all our latest #PFSSpringFest disptaches here: www.moviejawn.com/home/tag/pfs...
I SAW THE TV GLOW (2024) This is a fascinating film that looks at two high schoolers and their relationship with a TV show that has some similarities to Buffy (Amber Benson plays a mom in this). It goes to places that I was not expecting—very unique. #365Movies 148 #PFSSpringfest
GOOD ONE (2024) This is a really subtle film but, if you're patient with it, I think it's incisive. There's a lot that's left unsaid. #365Movies 147 #PFSSpringfest
WE GROWN NOW (2023) You can really tell that this nostalgic look at 1992 Cabrini-Green is a deeply personal film. It captures the innocence of childhood coming into conflict with the harsh realities of life. #365Movies 146 #PFSSpringfest
ODDITY (2024) This Irish horror film begins with an amazing conundrum: A stranger knocks on a woman's door and tells her that he just saw a man enter her house when she went to grab something from her car and left her front door open. What to do? #365Movies 144 #PFSSpringfest
GHOSTLIGHT (2024) I was really moved by this film about a construction worker dealing with the fallout of a family tragedy who, rather reluctantly, gets roped into community theater. #365Movies 142 #PFSSpringfest
BILLY & MOLLY: AN OTTER LOVE STORY (2024) Very adorable and very sincere documentary about a Scottish man and his friendship with a wild river otter. #365Movies 141 #PFSSpringfest
THE IDEA OF YOU (2024) I just love Anne Hathaway, I could watch her do anything! This bittersweet romance between a mom and a younger pop star has some emotions. #365Movies 140 #PFSSpringfest
IN A VIOLENT NATURE (2024) I'm really torn because I half love this slasher that gives us the killer's point of view. There are some great parts but the pacing feels really off. There are sections that drag on forever, just killing the momentum. #365Movies 139 #PFSSpringfest
THELMA (2024) June Squibb gets scammed out of $10k but after a quick trip to a senior home to pickup Richard Roundtree the pair are on their way to track the criminals down. Very fun and loosely inspired by a true story. #365Movies 138 #PFSSpringfest
