Danzon (1991) 67% “The soundtrack lends the film a feeling of joy and celebration. And although this is a tragic story, not a dance movie, the danzón as a theme feels like Julia reclaiming her joy.” – FF2 Media Feb 25, 2021 Full Review Smithereens (1982) 100% “A punk classic, with a soundtrack that includes the Feelies and Richard Hell & the Voidoids. If anything, Wren's failures make it even more punk: she's following a city, a scene, and a dream -- no matter how desperate she becomes.” – FF2 Media Feb 25, 2021 Full Review Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles (2019) 98% “Funny and clever, and it makes me want to go and watch the musical again, which I'd say is the best thing such a documentary can do.” – FF2 Media Feb 25, 2021 Full Review The Day I Became a Woman (2000) 88% “Makhmalbaf's skill as a storyteller shines in her ability to condense meaning into an image or snippet of dialogue.” – FF2 Media Feb 25, 2021 Full Review The Decline of Western Civilization (1981) 100% “It's a treasure trove of interviews with influential bands and footage from performances, featuring Alice Bag Band, Black Flag, the Germs, Catholic Discipline, the Circle Jerks, and more.” – FF2 Media Feb 25, 2021 Full Review 27 Missing Kisses (2000) “I love Sybilla. I wish she weren't so sexualized, by men and by the camera (she's fourteen, let's remember). But she's spirited and candid and an entertaining heroine to watch.” – FF2 Media Feb 25, 2021 Full Review The Day I Will Never Forget (2002) “It's filled with kind, resilient people fighting for themselves and others; I highly recommend it.” – FF2 Media Feb 25, 2021 Full Review The Connection (1961) 95% “Director Shirley Clarke's performance background strongly influences this carefully paced, masterfully acted, beautifully scored drama.” – FF2 Media Feb 25, 2021 Full Review Meek's Cutoff (2010) 86% “Slowly, our own exhaustion and concern grow with the travelers' weariness. With deft acting and skillful pacing, you can feel the heat and dryness in their throats.” – FF2 Media Feb 25, 2021 Full Review The Company of Strangers (1990) 100% “Strangers in Good Company is a beautifully unique work, both in its topic and its docufiction execution.” – FF2 Media Feb 25, 2021 Full Review Antonia's Line (1995) 69% “Gorris's work is impressive throughout, both in how she handles tonal shifts and builds a large cast of characters and weaves the story around them.” – FF2 Media Feb 25, 2021 Full Review Harlan County, U.S.A. (1976) 100% “Despite all this exhaustion, desperation, and anger, I'm struck by the joy and hope in this documentary.” – FF2 Media Feb 25, 2021 Full Review Girlfriends (1978) 93% “Its warm sense of humor and its images of a New York fantasy -- the stoops, the galleries, the spacious, well-lit apartments even for people without much money -- make it feel like a classic.” – FF2 Media Feb 25, 2021 Full Review XXY (2007) 83% “Lucía Puenzo explores all of this sensitively and beautifully. She portrays these teenagers joyfully. The camera doesn't shy away from heartbreaking and difficult scenes, either.” – FF2 Media Feb 25, 2021 Full Review The House is Black (2008) 100% “Brea's film explores the emotional effects of experiencing chronic illness, and at the same time, it sheds light on a wide, warm world of people connecting over their experience of the same illness.” – FF2 Media Feb 25, 2021 Full Review Seven Beauties (1976) 67% “A masterclass in shifting tone. It manages to mingle humor in with the atrocities without trivializing what the Nazis are doing.” – FF2 Media Feb 25, 2021 Full Review Stuffed (2019) 100% “This movie is bearable, even for sensitive viewers. The filmmaker is definitely interested in making a case for taxidermy as an art, demonstrating its beauty, and how it is valued and refined.” – FF2 Media Feb 25, 2021 Full Review Vitalina Varela (2019) 95% “The movie's production design and cinematography work well with this story of mystery and grief. Often, we feel as if we are in a mine, or maybe moving through spotlighted dollhouse rooms, everything too delicate and dim to be real.” – FF2 Media Feb 25, 2021 Full Review First Cow (2019) 96% “Most of the interactions we see onscreen in this movie are tenderly funny. It makes for a wonderful story that highlights the strength of friendship in tenuous and even dangerous circumstances.” – FF2 Media Feb 25, 2021 Full Review The Addams Family (2019) 46% “The wisdom comes from the children, and the story that emerges feels pure and sweet.” – FF2 Media Feb 25, 2021 Full Review Born in Flames (1983) 88% “All these perspectives on revolution and post-revolution political discourse come together, asking nuanced questions that still preoccupy us in the current decade: how can we make feminism inclusive?” – FF2 Media Dec 28, 2020 Full Review Wanda (1970) 92% “It's delicious to see this kind of character taking up so much space on screen: unkempt, dazed, and aimless, with occasional moments of alertness to take pleasure in something tiny, just because she wants to.” – FF2 Media Dec 28, 2020 Full Review Olivia (1951) 100% “Olivia is a particularly beautiful watch. Within lavish costumes, bedrooms, and ballrooms, the story is surprisingly intimate.” – FF2 Media Dec 28, 2020 Full Review Flannery (2019) 74% “Flannery is more about the person than the work. It reminds me a lot in tone of Brad Gooch's biography of O'Connor: playful, intimate, and appreciative of the unique challenges and joys of O'Connor's life.” – FF2 Media Aug 5, 2020 Full Review The Most Dangerous Year (2018) 91% 3.5/5 “Through her daughter's story, Knowlton illustrates why it's so important that lawmakers protect transgender children's rights.” – FF2 Media Apr 25, 2019 Full Review
