Daniel Reville: Really good film about learning to live in the moment, even when staring down an unknown future that’s already in motion, in spite of all of your best intensions.
It really packs a punch at the end, and it earns every right to do so. Just a really great film all around.

INFO
The 4:30 Movie (Kevin Smith, 2024)
A group of teens in the 1980s spend the day theatre-hopping.
The Mass Is Ended (1985, Italy, Nanni Maretti)
"A young priest, Don Giulio, struggles to maintain his faith. Having been a radical college student in the 1960s, Don Giulio has now rejected his long hair and liberal ideals in favor of the church. He has himself transferred to his home parish, only to discover the church empty and the town indifferent. Meanwhile, Don Giulio’s friends from his radical days begin popping up with their lives in serious disarray. Don Giulio seeks solace with his beloved family, but his family too is in chaos. The director's follow-up, The Son's Room, was a stunner." VIFF
The Promised Land
an old-fashioned epic, a settler Western unfolding on the barren heaths of Denmark rather than the American frontier. Mads Mikkelsen is a longtime soldier seeking the favor of the Danish crown by cultivating a harsh landscape. Kahlen cobbles together a ragtag crew of waifs and cast-offs, and goes to bitter battle with a preening local lord.
The Settlers
In 1893, Segundo, a Chilean mestizo, an English army captain, and an American mercenary embark on an expedition on horseback to reclaim the lands that the State has granted to José Menéndez. What appears to be an administrative expedition turns into a violent hunt for Onas, the natives of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago.
The Shadowless Tower
This quiet but sweeping drama, a winsome tribute to the old quarters of Beijing, their narrow streets and hole-in-the-wall eateries. a rumpled, middle-aged food critic, is the soulful center of the film, while Huang Yao gamely plays the young photographer who coaxes him out of his stasis.
