For those of us who can still appreciate original films with an obvious sense of fun, "Knives Out" is a well-earned break from the barrage of huge, albeit often very well-made, studio franchise releases.

With its near three and a half hour length and technology used to make the actors appear younger, "The Irishman" is a film obsessed with time.

'Age of Dysphoria' is a beautiful, relatable film about vulnerability and the willingness to accept our sins as part of who we are.
