This film is a celebration of the life of Sanson Noe Andrade, and, hopefully, it can somehow garner enough attention leading to him reuniting with his family as a free man, this reviewer hopes.
Review by Conor Sullivan.
“I really enjoyed the continual use of Spanish throughout the film; there is something about hearing and witnessing and experiencing people speaking their mother tongue that even if the audience is not Spanish speaking, audiences can feel comforted by the roundness, warmth, and expressiveness of the language – to be shaken up by the reality of the fragmented and confuse world in which one benevolent action can flip one’s life in a fatefully wrong direction.”

“2023 was an exceptional year with so many women playing major creative roles in high profile projects,” AWFJ President Jennifer Merin was quoted as saying. “AWFJ always focuses on and supports women’s contributions in all aspects of film production, and we are delighted that this year’s AWFJ EDA Awards honor women creatives in six of our 10non-gendered BEST OF categories, as well as in all of our Female Focus categories. We hope this female forward trend will continue in 2024.” (Drew Barrymore, however, was one of three who got a nasty sneer.) – Article by Gregg W. Morris
A trailblazing, avant-garde, horror movie swelling beyond “normal” cinematic horror dimensions – deserving this reviewer’s rarely invoked WWCEA rating: WOW-WOW-CAVEAT-EMPTOR-esque-ALERT.
——It’s a powerful sensory cinematic experience that may be challenging for some viewers as it was for some reviewers because of the filmmakers’ creative us of a werecreature, which is a shapeshifter that can metamorphose from human to a particular animal form.
——Nevertheless, audiences in search of a really, really scary movie should not be deterred nor befuddled by the first appearance ever in a movie of a weremonster that isn’t a werewolf. This horror movie is sublime in so many ways waiting to be discovered by audiences!

“Overall the exhibition was a very enjoyable experience and I feel inspired to draw quick sketches inspired by Matisse, Derain, and the light of Collioure.” – Coco Lin
The the exhibitions “I reviewed were very successful in terms of the way they were curated” and the the stories “they shared,” making one question “what it means to have meaningful relationships and places that become empty when people die or move away. Just looking at the images in this show makes me think about what it means to be alive. I also think about the power of images that represent home, family, and relationships.”
