Traffic (2000) 93% “While the film does well at imagining a world cut loose from moral quadrants, where right and wrong are not clear choices and all decisions seem tainted by compromise, its imagination is confined to a US model.” – The Nation Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Mulholland Dr. (2001) 84% “If, in the end, Mulholland Drive is too clever by half, no matter. Lynch's superb command of mise en scène makes his images and situations their own reward, rendering even the simplest gesture creepy and imbuing any innocence with evil.” – The Nation Jul 11, 2023 Full Review Confessions of a Congressman (1978) 67% “[A] shrewdly provocative thriller.” – Village Voice Aug 17, 2022 Full Review Monsoon Wedding (2001) 95% “Deliriously joyous.” – The Nation Feb 28, 2020 Full Review The Son's Room (2001) 85% “Nanni Moretti has made a career's worth of film grounded in humor, but here he has turned serious.” – The Nation Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Time Out (2001) 95% “Here, [Cantet] seems to tell us, nothing can compare with the violence experienced by any human caught up in mindless white-collar management, whether working or laid off.” – The Nation Feb 28, 2020 Full Review La ciénaga (2001) 87% “La Ciénaga does what cinema at its best can do: It reveals a universe we've never even imagined and then gets us to look differently at both the society and medium we'd underestimated.” – The Nation Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Fat Girl (2001) 73% “From its tranquil beginning to its shocking finish, Fat Girl shows Breillat to be a world-class artist working at the top of her form -- even when the lessons of gender, sexuality and social custom may be hard to swallow.” – The Nation Feb 28, 2020 Full Review “The confused editing might boggle the mind, but Dear Fidel's central subject never fails to fascinate.” – The Nation Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Old Cats (2010) 86% “A masterful cast, patient camera, narrative immediacy, and tremendous compassion all combine to make Old Cats an utter jewel of a drama. I haven't been able to get it out of my mind.” – Film Quarterly Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Crime After Crime (2011) 91% “The documentary and the case became entangled in fascinating ways and suggest that filmmakers may have more power than they usually think they do.” – Film Quarterly Feb 28, 2020 Full Review The Interrupters (2011) 99% “A one-woman peace squad, [Ameena Matthews] burns up the screen whenever she's on it.” – Film Quarterly Feb 28, 2020 Full Review The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975 (2011) 92% “The result is astonishing, for stereotypes have long since replaced the vivid realities of that moment; now, revivified, its actors spin back into action, misconceptions corrected, history set straight.” – Film Quarterly Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Another Earth (2011) 66% “All believably rendered with great economy.” – Film Quarterly Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Perfect Sense (2011) 57% “Scottish director David Mackenzie's Perfect Sense, play with the best kind of futurism: just like today, except for one crucial difference.” – Film Quarterly Feb 28, 2020 Full Review The Future (2011) 73% “Despite the brilliant July touches... the tone became too winsome, the narrative too forced, the performances too twee.” – Film Quarterly Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same (2011) 93% “Pointed jokes and sweetheart ending mark Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same as a modern-day lesbian fairy tale.” – Film Quarterly Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Pariah (2011) 95% “The tone is tragicomic, the genre is coming-of-age, and the execution is impeccable.” – Film Quarterly Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Circumstance (2011) 86% “With an eye for detail and atmosphere reminiscent of Mira Nair and Deepa Mehta, [Maryam] Keshavarz nimbly reworks the diaspora narrative with a fresh, stylish, sexy style.” – Film Quarterly Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Keep the Lights On (2012) 90% “This gay domestic drama is a fascinating turn for Sachs.” – Film Quarterly Feb 28, 2020 Full Review 5 Broken Cameras (2011) 96% “A documentary that needs to be seen in the U.S. and around the world: its evidence of the campaign of terror waged on Palestinian villages in Gaza by the Israeli military is incontrovertible.” – Film Quarterly Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Young & Wild (2011) “Young and Wild is an impressive artistic achievement that etches a lineage back to Lucrecia Martel's The Holy Girl and Catherine Breillat's A Real Young Girl.” – Film Quarterly Feb 28, 2020 Full Review The House I Live In (2012) 94% “Elegantly edited [and] thoroughly researched... Deservedly took the jury award for best U.S. documentary.” – Film Quarterly Feb 28, 2020 Full Review We're Not Broke (2011) “The history is shocking, the data stunning.” – Film Quarterly Feb 28, 2020 Full Review How to Survive a Plague (2012) 98% “For anybody who doubts that individuals can combat giant governmental and corporate forces and win, this is a great how-to manual.” – Film Quarterly Feb 28, 2020 Full Review
