ALL REVIEWS ARE SPOILER FREE
The purpose of this site is to entice people to watch inventive filmmakers. The micro-write-ups found here playfully skirt around plot points, but will never reveal them. Welcome to a mini hype train, were every film featured is appreciated for its narrative victories.
FILMS ARE RATED ON A FOUR STAR SCALE
Ratings are arbitrary, but they're also fun. 4's aren't handed out like candy. All films with 3 stars or above are highly recommended, while the majority of theatrical releases camp out in the 1.5 to 2.5 range. That is, in the eyes of 35S.
REVIEWS FOCUS ON READINGS OF FILMS
Technical achievements and performative genius are things to be viewed fresh. Too often, film critics spoil movies by putting giant spotlights on films, and as a viewer you go into the movie with bias eyes. Story is king here. 35S sticks to the story because audiences will make up their own minds concerning a film's narrative, this is just a helpful page to start on.
