Wisdom of Happiness (2024) 4/4 EDIT “He says all respond to “warmheartedness”and love. The time is right given the stressors of the world which he acknowledges but does not name. Highly recommended.” – What She Said Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Christy (2025) 68% 4/4 EDIT “Sweeney is exceptional, heavy and muscular for the part, boxes like a champ and takes multiple hits. A bracing, terrifying cautionary tale, a stark true story of a major celebrity living a lie and in fear that may resonate with some women.” – What She Said Oct 10, 2025 Full Review John Candy: I Like Me (2025) 88% 4/4 EDIT “John Candy was a giant of his generation. Physically big, yes, but in spirit, personality and comedy gifts, a behemoth. An outstanding, deeply moving documentary on a one-of-a-kind individual.” – What She Said Oct 10, 2025 Full Review Dead of Winter (2025) 78% 3/4 EDIT “Thompson leaves her signature humourous, romantic, period films for something brutally intense, a thriller. A shocking turn in Thompon’s repertoire, a change of pace and one helluva frosty, ugly ride. ” – What She Said Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Eleanor the Great (2025) 66% 4/4 EDIT “a celebration of life, a stinging reminder of the pain of the deaths of people we love. Frailty, whims, corrections, surviving and connection are beautifully expressed in his lovely human story. ” – What She Said Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Swiped (2025) 43% 3/4 EDIT “A deflating portrait of a women in tech, an industry that needs to improve, of sexism and of being strong when you feel your weakest. She carries on, a warrior.” – What She Said Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror (2025) 100% 4/4 EDIT “The musical’s about being one’s true self - sexuality, dressing ,believing and living your truth – who you really are – and celebrating with like minded individuals. Linus O’Brien’s wonderful doc Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror reminds us.” – What She Said Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Megadoc (2025) 98% 3/4 EDIT “extremely “inside” – endless hours waiting for things to happen,waiting for all the departments to do what they need to do. Dull, long, unremarkable – not the doc, life on the set. ” – What She Said Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Triumph of the Heart (2025) 4/4 EDIT “The film isn’t aiming for an horrific effect, there’s no need. The miracle is that the prisoners’ spirit, power and the hope rise up. Really uplifting stuff especially for these bruising times. ” – What She Said Sep 12, 2025 Full Review The Antique (2024) 3/4 EDIT “moves at its own pace, which may be slow for some, but its depiction of Russian life in 2006 is reason to watch. In a film that is heavier on images than words, Valdimir Vadimich is astounding; his quiet performance is sheer beauty.” – What She Said Aug 29, 2025 Full Review Checkpoint Zoo (2024) 100% 4/4 EDIT “The unprovoked Russian war on Ukraine’s heartbreaking toll, cruel and unforgivable, has upended its people and zoo animals ..As the bombardment begins, zoo employees flee. …without a doubt on of the most moving docs in a while. ” – What She Said Aug 29, 2025 Full Review Loathe Thy Neighbor (2025) 2/4 EDIT “Ok so we have all had bad neighbours. That uncomfortable truth drives Lauren Holly’s darkly funny, sarcastic, absurd comedy. … amusingly “out there” and worth a look ” – What She Said Aug 29, 2025 Full Review The Girls Are Alright (2023) 100% 4/4 EDIT “a breath of fresh air in the realm of storytelling around women’s friendships. ” – What She Said Aug 8, 2025 Full Review Kerouac's Road: The Beat of a Nation (2025) 70% 4/4 EDIT “Kerouac’s legacy roars back to life in this well-made collage of reminiscences as to how his road novel changed the US. The opposite of the way things are now as Americans chase careers, jobs, wealth, status ” – What She Said Aug 8, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun (2025) 88% 4 EDIT “You can’t make noise laughing or you’ll miss the next thing, and the next. You’ll find yourself grinning at the screen, frozen, waiting, and leaving satisfied. ” – What She Said Aug 1, 2025 Full Review Goddess of Slide: The Forgotten Story of Ellen McIlwaine (2024) 3 EDIT “Her complicated guitar patterns and vocals were never rehearsed, and seemed somehow out of body, screeches, snarls, sweet melodies, whatever came out of her and her instrument. ” – What She Said Aug 1, 2025 Full Review Sunday Best (2023) 100% 4 EDIT “Not only is this an important docu its also highly entertaining as we stroll down memory lane, one great song and performance at a time. ” – What She Said Aug 1, 2025 Full Review Angela's Shadow (2024) 3/4 EDIT “It is the second in a film trilogy from Koostachin, exploring trauma induced by colonialism and the possibility of healing. ” – What She Said Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Four Letters of Love (2024) 42% 2/4 EDIT “The film's tuneful and very pretty but never really gels, its messy and could use a hard edit. ” – What She Said Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Oh, Hi! (2025) 63% 2/4 EDIT “ Can’t remember the last time a film made me feel queasy and then Oh, Hi! an unflinching look at love and cruelty ... you may never know the truth about people until its too late. Whew. ” – What She Said Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight (2024) 91% 4/4 EDIT “A sad reminder of the evils of colonialism and how racists are created; its plain and out in the open and 7-year-old Bobo may become one of them. ” – What She Said Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Operation: Aunties (2025) 2/4 EDIT “Lots of Dark Web, assumed identities and action, but the heart of the series is the friendship between the three, and the ways they are able to put strategies in place to keep women safe. ” – What She Said Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Portraits of Dangerous Women (2024) 67% 3/4 EDIT “Odds of the fateful accident seem low but we buy it because the story's carefully constructed and embraces life’s ironies, chances and nuances. ” – What She Said Jul 11, 2025 Full Review We Are Guardians (2023) 100% 4/4 EDIT “Its unbearable watching majestic trees fall, knocking down others and erasing wildlife habitats and species. All hail the women who turned the tables on Big Money.” – What She Said Jul 11, 2025 Full Review 40 Acres (2024) 89% 4/4 EDIT “R.T. Thorne’s empathy comes through. Spellbinding, balletic, its a fully realised, striking and challenging creation and one of the best films around.” – What She Said Jul 3, 2025 Full Review
