CINEMATIC SORCERESS: THE FILMS OF NINA MENKES

Nina Menkes is an incredibly intimate and brutally honest filmmaker. With a career spanning three decades, she has continually looked inward to reflect on the world around her. Her films have a journal-like quality, focusing on quiet moments of contemplation through characters who never feel like they are performing. Voyeurism without a male gaze.

As a long-time fan, I couldn't be more thrilled with this new movie, which picks up right where season 7 finale left off. Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment has delivered a truly special piece of animation that had me from start to finish. While the plot for the film is about what you'd expect from a direct to home video feature based on an animated series, there is something in the way all the pieces come together that is utterly compelling, making it impossible to look away.
