Abby Olcese The Pitch 4 days ago Hope starts great, plays itself into a corner, and then reveals it has no creative way to get out of that corner.

Abby Olcese The Pitch Aug 8, 2026 One Night Only is going for neither profound nor spectacular. It’s going for warm and fun. It mostly achieves that, even if it is under really bizarre circumstances. Go to Full Review One Night Only (2026) 44% - -

Abby Olcese Sojourners Jul 31, 2026 With The Love That Remains, Pálmason creates a world and characters that he knows completely. He loves and delights in his creations, even when they’re at odds with each other. Go to Full Review The Love That Remains (2025) 95% - -

Abby Olcese The Pitch Jul 31, 2026 It’s a respectable film, but feels like a staid enterprise that feels dismissive of the bits that would have separated this from the rest of the filmmaker’s work. Go to Full Review The Odyssey (2026) 94% - -
