Kernels of Truth
I’m more of a guide than a judge. I review a film because it resonates on some personal level. Many of those reviewed here have earned 4-kernel ratings—not because these films are equal, but because they represent some form of greatness. Even flawed films are worthy of discussion; some may be a better fit for you than for me. My goal is to communicate strengths and weaknesses, from my own biased perspective ... and to help you decide which ones pop for you.
