Indian Burial Ground by Nick Medina: Emotional Story
A man lunges in front of a car. An elderly woman silently drowns herself. A corpse sits up in its coffin and speaks.

The Breakup Lists by Adib Khorram: Multilayered and Complex
Jackson Ghasnavi is a lot of things—a techie, a smoothie afficionado, a totally not obsessive list-maker—but one thing he’s not is a romantic. And why would he be?

The movie expounds…

Not only was Paul Giamatti exceptional but so too were the other performers and this film has a brilliant evolution of character and…
“The Persian Version”: Strong Mother Daughter Story
