As June turns to July, we once again set our eyes on reviewing various films that have entered the Criterion Collection over the course of what we like to refer to as Criterion Month. Call it our own little corner of the Criterion Closet filled with films we’ve never seen, some potentially aligning with our tastes and some that we’ve put off seeing since they inherently might not. Once again, some of us go for themes and some of us don’t, but the one constant is that while picking which movies to review, we only have a vague sense of what we’re in for. The fun begins in just one day!
