Louisa Moore

Tomatometer-approved critic
Biography:

Ever since she was a child, Louisa has loved cinema. While other kids would sneak downstairs to watch cartoons on weekend mornings, she was the kid who would secretly watch "At the Movies with Siskel and Ebert." Subscriptions to film magazines were here favorite gifts, and movie posters her favorite decor. Louisa has continued her love affair with the movies by founding the review site Screen Zealots, where she reviews both wide releases, indies, and short films. She is President of the Online Association of Female Film Critics, member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association and the Las Vegas Film Critics Society, and serves on the Board of the Critics Groups for Equality in Media (CGEM).

No Other Choice (2025) 97% EDIT “With its sharp social commentary and dark subject matter, this film is a devilish critique of capitalism and the violence it can breed. ” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% EDIT “Thoughtful, tense, politically sharp, and consistently engaging, how refreshing to see a film that not only respects its audience, but delivers tenfold.” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Nuisance Bear  (2026) 100% EDIT “This elegant and thought-provoking meditation on resilience, coexistence, and responsibility is gorgeous, powerful, and heartbreaking all at once. ” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Sentient (2026) EDIT “One of the most emotionally distressing documentaries I’ve ever seen. It’s given me nightmares for days, and I can’t shake the film's stories or images. I truly wish I’d never watched it, but I also know it was important to.” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Everybody To Kenmure Street (2026) 100% EDIT “The refusal to stay silent is the backbone of resistance, showing what can be achieved when we stand together. This creative, bird's eye view documentary screams "Power to the People!" ” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Closure (2026) EDIT “A beautifully made documentary about the painful truth of what it means to keep searching when closure may never come.” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Silenced (2026) 100% EDIT “An emotionally exhausting documentary with a message that’s timely and necessary, this film doesn’t hold back with its blazing critique of an issue that seems to be getting increasingly worse for women around the world.” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review The Musical (2026) 56% EDIT “An ugly, mean-spirited film that is unpleasant in a way that feels deliberate but not especially rewarding.” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review H Is for Hawk (2025) 80% EDIT “Leans too heavily into the familiar, but the film is a thoughtful, quietly profound meditation on grief and the fragile process of learning how to live again.” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 92% EDIT “Enchanting, pretentious, and mildly irritating, this is absolute catnip for lovers of French New Wave cinema.” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review The Choral (2025) 68% EDIT “An earnest and comforting period piece about the healing power of music and the way creating something together can offer a glimmer of hope in the darkest of times.” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review If I Go Will They Miss Me (2026) 96% EDIT “What a beautifully realized film about the fragile, complicated bonds between parents and their children. ” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Union County (2026) 97% EDIT “Doesn’t quite rise above being just another quietly competent indie drama, but it will certainly resonate with viewers who personally know someone who’s been through the system.” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% EDIT “Leans hard into philosophical territory, contrasting spirituality and scientific reasoning while exploring themes of fascism, survival, and the erosion of identity. This is intellectual horror functioning at its highest level.” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review A Private Life (2025) 81% EDIT “A great example of thoughtful, modern noir that values psychological depth over straightforward plot devices.” – Screen Zealots Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 63% EDIT “A dime a dozen story elevated slightly by its performances, but lacks the excitement and tension needed to make it stand out as a fun action flick. If you’re a Statham fan, you’ll get through it just fine. ” – Screen Zealots Jan 29, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 79% EDIT “A mediocre entry in the already overcrowded dirty cop genre.” – Screen Zealots Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 24% EDIT “Though it barely scratches the surface of its big ideas, the movie’s sheer entertainment value smooths over the missed opportunities.” – Screen Zealots Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 93% EDIT “Though its meandering structure and minimal plot can test patience, the film’s shocking turns and immersive atmosphere make it a haunting, if imperfect, experience.” – Screen Zealots Jan 22, 2026 Full Review To the Victory! (2025) EDIT “Part comedy, part tragedy, and part heartbreak, the film honestly addresses the messy, painful aftermath of war.” – Screen Zealots Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Cover-Up (2025) 98% EDIT “A sharp, unflinching look at the constant tug-of-war between truth and power, showing how systemic secrecy and self-preservation can rot the foundations of democracy. ” – Screen Zealots Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Goodbye June (2025) 65% EDIT “This depressing holiday drama is predictable, emotionally draining, and ultimately forgettable.” – Screen Zealots Jan 21, 2026 Full Review One More Shot (2025) 67% EDIT “A fresh take on the time loop genre, the film blends comedy, drama, and romance with a bit of cheeky science fiction fantasy. ” – Screen Zealots Jan 10, 2026 Full Review The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) 95% EDIT “This testament to courage, humanity, and lives lost is unforgettable, if you can handle the heartbreak.” – Screen Zealots Jan 10, 2026 Full Review The Plague (2025) 97% EDIT “A dark meditation on adolescence, cruelty, and the cost of belonging.” – Screen Zealots Jan 10, 2026 Full Review
