Spring Fever (2009) 47% “In his determination to position the film as a universal love story, Lou sacrifices the political engagement and specificity that makes the work of queer auteurs... so valuable” – Film Comment Magazine Mar 5, 2024 Full Review Magic Mike's Last Dance (2023) 48% “To the trilogy’s detriment, Last Dance chooses to regard Mike's booing-up as the ultimate, inevitable pursuit. His male apprentices never become anything more than ciphers; his burgeoning partnership with them is an untapped source of drama and pathos.” – 4Columns Feb 17, 2023 Full Review Center Stage (1992) 100% “Few biopics have so eloquently interrogated the very foundations of the genre: our desire for intimacy with the stars and our sense of being entitled to knowledge of their personal lives.” – 4Columns Mar 5, 2021 Full Review Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993) 19% “A singer's movie for the ages, one with virtually no contemporary rivals. It feels like a film that could have been made only by people who understand on an intuitive level why we sing in the first place.” – 4Columns Feb 5, 2021 Full Review The Clock (1945) 100% “Like all the best melodramas, it shows us how society is set up to keep our hopelessly ambiguous interior worlds in check. But all you have to do is look at Garland to feel that racing pulse beneath the skin...she knew that love is anxiety.” – 4Columns Apr 10, 2020 Full Review Vitalina Varela (2019) 95% “Vitalina Varela, for all the psychic and economic devastation it depicts, is beautiful to the point of being ravishing.” – 4Columns Feb 21, 2020 Full Review Parasite (2019) 99% “At the core of this film is an us-vs-them solidarity that makes even its most contrived narrative payoffs reverberate with emotional authenticity.” – 4Columns Oct 4, 2019 Full Review Hotel by the River (2018) 96% “For all its solemn beauty, Hotel by the River is lax and under-imagined compared to Hong's masterpieces.” – Film Comment Magazine Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Ash Is Purest White (2018) 99% “Ash becomes Jia's most resonant work in at least a decade, a film in which the warring impulses within a single character cut through the noise of big themes and national metaphors.” – 4Columns Mar 15, 2019 Full Review If Beale Street Could Talk (2018) 95% “We're constantly reminded of what so many movies revolving around themes of oppression fail to acknowledge: that even under threat, love can still feel like love-which is to say, like a state of rapture.” – 4Columns Nov 30, 2018 Full Review Daughter of the Nile (1987) 100% “Daughter of the Nile represents something special: the kind of modestly crafted masterpiece a director makes just before he comes into recognition of his own stature.” – Film Comment Magazine Nov 3, 2017 Full Review The Ornithologist (2016) 87% “The Ornithologist, is no less attuned to the shock and awe of corporeal experience, but here the fixation is couched in an almost overpowering serenity.” – Film Comment Magazine May 5, 2017 Full Review Kaili Blues (2015) 97% “Yet the voice resonating behind these familiar motifs is one of such dazzling originality, it's hard to emerge from this waking dream of a film without feeling the shock of the new.” – Film Comment Magazine May 3, 2016 Full Review Miles Ahead (2016) 74% “Don Cheadle's flimsily conceived Miles Davis passion project...never lingers in the mind long enough to do the music much damage...The film is undone not by its interpretation of Davis's legacy but by its caper plot.” – Film Comment Magazine Mar 17, 2016 Full Review Freeheld (2015) 49% “Only a country where marriage equality is a foregone conclusion could produce a film about gay politics bled of all rage and resentment.” – Film Comment Magazine Sep 14, 2015 Full Review What Happened, Miss Simone? (2015) 90% “It's disappointing to watch the film fall into Behind the Music conventionality, employing a perfunctory alternation of talking heads and archival material despite the fact that so much once-rare footage can now be seen on YouTube.” – Film Comment Magazine Jul 1, 2015 Full Review Broken Embraces (2009) 82% “Though the film offers nothing new for the eyes, its wordiness ultimately acts as a complement rather than a drawback to Almodóvar's masterful storytelling.” – Film Comment Magazine Sep 24, 2014 Full Review The Wind Rises (2013) 88% “Apart from its handcrafted visuals, which are as lovely and painstakingly precise as anything in the Ghibli canon, the film feels sapped of conflict and energy” – Film Comment Magazine Feb 25, 2014 Full Review August: Osage County (2013) 67% “Designed as one big, sloppy thesp-a-thon, the film adaptation of August: Osage County interprets one of the past decade's most overly hyped dramas with the conviction usually lavished on top-drawer Eugene O'Neill.” – Film Comment Magazine Jan 14, 2014 Full Review Ondine (2009) 70% “Things start to go awry when we realize that the film's emotional sensitivity doesn't go much deeper than its moody surfaces.” – Film Comment Magazine Nov 13, 2013 Full Review Last Train Home (2009) 100% “Rivaling China's finest documentarians, first-time director Lixin Fan begins his Last Train Home with a handful of unshakable images.” – Film Comment Magazine Nov 12, 2013 Full Review Final Sale (2011) - - “Few films have so vividly re-created the sensation of having known another human being for one's entire life, while simultaneously evoking the suspicion that all along one has loved a stranger.” – Film Comment Magazine Nov 5, 2013 Full Review
