América (2018) 100% “A solid portrait of the twilight of life, and all its attendant concerns.” – Hyperallergic Feb 28, 2020 Full Review The Booksellers (2019) 90% “While it's fun to see a wide range of dealers and collectors, some of the portraits feel perfunctory, as does the quick but necessary discussion of the field's lack of diversity.” – Hyperallergic Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project (2019) 95% “Stokes remains something of an enigma, but watching Recorder, one thing becomes clear: We can learn a lot from the ability to rewind.” – Hyperallergic Feb 25, 2020 Full Review The Edge of Seventeen (2016) 94% “The Edge of Seventeen is the kind of modest, funny teen movie that we don't see enough of these days.” – Brooklyn Magazine Jan 18, 2019 Full Review In Fabric (2018) 92% 5 “In Fabric's approach to its victims, combined with its aesthetic, renders everything a bit frigid.” – Sight & Sound Jan 3, 2019 Full Review Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018) 98% “Heller does do a fine job of showing the physicality of Israel's morally dubious work.” – Sight & Sound Jan 2, 2019 Full Review Second Act (2018) 44% 2/5 “If only the world saw street smarts as equal to book smarts, Maya wishes on her birthday. It's a nice idea, but Second Act doesn't possess smarts in either category.” – Time Out Dec 20, 2018 Full Review The Image Book (2018) 90% 4/5 “A compelling collage that refuses to fit into any predetermined pigeonhole.” – Little White Lies Dec 3, 2018 Full Review An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn (2018) 52% “In practice, unfortunately, the film is so intent on creating a WTF universe that the characters register as little more than crude outlines.” – L.A. Weekly Oct 22, 2018 Full Review Hale County This Morning, This Evening (2018) 97% “Ross has given us something valuable: a portrait of a small, overlooked section of America, presented without judgment.” – MUBI Sep 18, 2018 Full Review Nico, 1988 (2017) 94% 3/5 “While the film deserves praise for its unglamorous approach to a sad-girl icon, the narrow focus can be tiring, and Nico's relationships with the other characters, including her estranged son, are frustratingly enigmatic.” – Time Out Aug 2, 2018 Full Review Never Goin' Back (2018) 76% “Frizzell, making her feature directorial debut, is attuned to the giddy intimacies of female friendship, and Mitchell and Morrone are a charismatic pair.” – Village Voice Aug 1, 2018 Full Review Applecart (2017) 60% “Dead Night ends up being muddled, never committing to either solemn supernatural horror or its elements of camp.” – Village Voice Jul 25, 2018 Full Review Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018) 80% 2/5 “The sparkling blue waters are pretty, and the songs are catchy, but you may well wind up feeling smothered by the non-stop corniness of it all.” – Time Out Jul 18, 2018 Full Review Love, Cecil (2017) 83% “Beaton's more-is-more approach makes for a feast for the eyes.” – Village Voice Jun 28, 2018 Full Review Amateur (1994) 79% “As its characters run through downtown New York it feels like the platonic ideal of a playful 90s indie film.” – Brooklyn Magazine Jun 26, 2018 Full Review Manchester by the Sea (2016) 96% “Kenneth Lonergan's Manchester by the Sea is a poignant, evocative portrait of grief.” – Brooklyn Magazine Jun 26, 2018 Full Review Always Shine (2016) 91% “While female friendship can be a source of joy, it can also be uniquely cruel, and Always Shine understands this truth well.” – Brooklyn Magazine Jun 26, 2018 Full Review Nocturnal Animals (2016) 74% “Nocturnal Animals wants to be provocative but its scattered parts all add up to something a bit silly.” – Brooklyn Magazine Jun 26, 2018 Full Review Everything, Everything (2017) 45% “Those looking for a funny or provocative teen film will likely be disappointed, but Everything, Everything possesses enough moments of charm to make the manipulation somewhat forgivable.” – Uproxx Jun 26, 2018 Full Review Unexpected (2015) 64% “Unexpected deserves credit for featuring a relationship between two women that is not often shown. At the same time, though, that relationship, fraught with race and class tension as it is, never really challenges us in a believable way.” – The L Magazine Jun 26, 2018 Full Review Certain Women (2016) 92% “The film is admirable in how it presents rural lives without any sort of condescension or melodrama. There's a kind of Zen quality to the leisurely pace with which Reichardt lets her onscreen lives unfold.” – Brooklyn Magazine Jun 26, 2018 Full Review The Love Witch (2016) 95% “Elaine speaks of love magic and seduction, and Biller's film has the same enchanting effect on the audience.” – Brooklyn Magazine Jun 26, 2018 Full Review Toni Erdmann (2016) 93% “In less capable hands, it could easily become a saccharine family fable or a gross-out comedy, but Ade manages to find her own strange niche, bolstered by some memorable set pieces.” – Brooklyn Magazine Jun 26, 2018 Full Review Elle (2016) 91% “Elle makes a strong case for the actress as auteur.” – Brooklyn Magazine Jun 26, 2018 Full Review
