	Yi Yi (2000)	Joshua Polanski	It’s an impossible task to summarize human life in three hours. And that’s why Yi Yi is often considered one of the greatest films ever made: because Edward Yang tests the impossible. Posted Nov 03, 2025 Edit critic review
	Sacrifice (2025)	Joshua Polanski	Unlike the best political films, Sacrifice ironically finds itself on the wrong side of the status quo. Posted Sep 17, 2025 Edit critic review
	A Useful Ghost (2025)	Joshua Polanski	Nat’s possession of a vacuum—a symbol of “traditional” domestic gender roles—projects her caregiving intentions, although [Ratchapoom] Boonbunchachoke chooses to simply replicate rather than interrogate these roles. Posted Sep 17, 2025 Edit critic review
