Drop Dead City (2024) “The crisis may have unfolded 50 years ago, but our interdependence is as important to remember now as it was then.” – New York Times Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Blue Sun Palace (2024) 100% “Instead of leaning into trauma or misery, the filmmaker gives us complex characters who nonetheless speak very little — everything happens in their expressions, the quick flash of a twitch across a cheek when the other isn’t looking. ” – New York Times Apr 24, 2025 Full Review On Swift Horses (2024) 51% “It doesn’t always work, but you won’t mind that much, because it’s so beautiful to look at.” – New York Times Apr 24, 2025 Full Review 1-800-ON-HER-OWN (2024) “This is the kind of relatively pedestrian musician documentary that’s intended mostly for fans, who will encounter plenty of nostalgia.” – New York Times Apr 18, 2025 Full Review The Legend of Ochi (2025) 80% “The Legend of Ochi is light on story -- you kind of know what’s going to happen all the time -- and that, coupled with occasionally garbled dialogue, makes it easy to zone out at times. But in its place it serves up a nourishing banquet for the senses.” – New York Times Apr 17, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (2025) 88% ““The Wedding Banquet” is so charming, and then so unexpectedly moving, that its strengths eventually outweigh the bits of mess. ” – New York Times Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Pets (2025) ““Pets” is engineered to make a child not just want a pet if they don’t have one, but also want to find one that needs a home and some love. And in that way, “Pets” serves up both entertainment and something for its young audience to consider.” – New York Times Apr 11, 2025 Full Review The King of Kings (2025) 65% “It’s just the same story: every beat expected, every moment predetermined.” – New York Times Apr 10, 2025 Full Review The Amateur (2025) 60% “Charlie is both too savvy (when it comes to tech stuff) and too hapless (when it comes to spycraft) to fit the bill, and the film ends with more of a shrug than a revelation, or even a gut punch.” – New York Times Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Thank You Very Much (2023) 90% “Braverman wisely does not try to imitate Kaufman’s style in the film, instead opting to explore his career through old footage and conversations with people who knew him.” – New York Times Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Eric LaRue (2023) 71% “As “Eric LaRue” starts barreling toward an upsetting conclusion, you start to wonder about everything that’s happened earlier in the movie, about what went unsaid and now refuses to stay quiet.” – New York Times Apr 3, 2025 Full Review Secret Mall Apartment (2024) 100% ““Secret Mall Apartment” makes a compelling case that the project reverberates through the lives of the artists, and maybe even the city, to this day. ” – New York Times Mar 31, 2025 Full Review Art for Everybody (2023) 100% “Well structured, meticulously researched and revealing, even for a Kinkade-jaded viewer like me.” – New York Times Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Meanwhile (2025) “A provocation and a request to consider what flourishing looks like in this chaotic moment — for Black Americans, and for anyone who finds themselves drowning, struggling to breathe.” – New York Times Mar 14, 2025 Full Review An Unfinished Film (2024) 73% “Life gets in the way of art all the time, and art can be made out of life. What matters, the movie suggests, is hanging onto one another for dear life.” – New York Times Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Housewife of the Year (2024) “The resulting movie is fascinating precisely because we’re hearing their voices. More important, there’s a kind of dignity afforded the subjects through this approach. ” – New York Times Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Chaos: The Manson Murders (2025) 56% “Morris has clout that exceeds most documentary directors, and this is mostly his movie: curious, skeptical, dependent on interviews conducted by the director.” – New York Times Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Eephus (2024) 100% “Something about “Eephus” reminds me of Wiseman’s long, slow, methodical probing of institutions and of human behavior more broadly. ” – New York Times Mar 6, 2025 Full Review My Dead Friend Zoe (2024) 95% “ Audiences expecting [a dark comedy drama] will likely be disappointed; it’s ultimately a sad film, if also a moving one. ” – New York Times Feb 28, 2025 Full Review We Beat the Dream Team (2025) “The results are delightful: It’s rare to see a documentary airing out a long-running beef as beautifully, good-naturedly and enjoyably as this one.” – New York Times Feb 21, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 78% “Te farce props up the nihilism, and gives “The Monkey” a strangely hopeful refrain.” – New York Times Feb 20, 2025 Full Review The Strike (2024) “Among the remarkable stories told in “The Strike” is how incarcerated people in isolation could organize a strike in the first place, as well as the men’s’ stories of life inside, and later outside, the walls of Pelican Bay. O” – New York Times Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Universal Language (2024) 96% “A gently funny, gently moving, slightly surrealist little comedy that’s aimed at two groups of people: Canadians, specifically but not exclusively those who know Winnipeg, and aficionados of Iranian cinema.” – New York Times Feb 13, 2025 Full Review La Dolce Villa (2025) 75% “It’s a glossy fairy tale about Americans having lighthearted adventures in Europe, getting into scrapes and falling in love and charming the pants off all the locals.” – New York Times Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Paint Me a Road Out of Here (2024) “The film has bigger aspirations, connecting art, prisons, activism and an expansive life. ” – New York Times Feb 7, 2025 Full Review
