The Mountain (2018) 63% “The Mountain, the mournfully surreal, fitfully arresting fifth feature by Rick Alverson, describes America's postwar "boom" as a spiritual implosion.” – Reverse Shot Aug 2, 2019 Full Review Good Time (2017) 91% “Good Time-with its illicit behavior, its misguided characters, and its aggressively digressive storytelling-too often winds up playing like a comedy of errors rather than a tale of true desperation.” – Reverse Shot Aug 11, 2017 Full Review The Martian (2015) 91% “As pure numbers-game suspense, the movie passes inspection, but the relative absence of soul searching... makes it seem a specious vehicle for the trumpeting of such human values as cooperation, perseverance, and self-sacrifice.” – Brooklyn Magazine Apr 18, 2017 Full Review Raw (2016) 93% “A credible candidate for the midnight-movie canon.” – Brooklyn Magazine Mar 13, 2017 Full Review Dark Night (2017) 61% “A contemporary look at the disaffection and desensitization that have long been native to American suburbia.” – Brooklyn Magazine Feb 3, 2017 Full Review Ma (2015) 92% “Without resorting once to words, Rowlson-Hall develops a cinematic language well suited to exploring the concept of immaculacy -- and how external demands for it can weary the body indeed.” – Brooklyn Magazine Jan 13, 2017 Full Review The Ardennes (2015) 58% “scuzzy style to spare but a setup that couldn't feel creakier” – Brooklyn Magazine Jan 5, 2017 Full Review Silence (2016) 83% “A masterwork set during the confrontational age of discovery, Scorsese's searching Silence speaks volumes about the twin gauntlets of cultural and spiritual discord.” – Brooklyn Magazine Dec 23, 2016 Full Review 20th Century Women (2016) 88% “It is the performances that ultimately ground the film, particularly that by Bening-a marvelous piece of work that deserves all the awards buzz coming to it.” – Brooklyn Magazine Dec 23, 2016 Full Review Patriots Day (2016) 80% B “Patriots Day by and large withstands the inevitable charges of too-soon opportunism, exhibiting some of the very same traits it extols in its local-hero characters-namely, diligence, competence, and a proportional sense of urgency.” – AV Club Dec 20, 2016 Full Review Neruda (2016) 92% “Neruda certainly has its felicities, but throughout Larraín proves all too eager to point out the sheer artifice of his endeavor.” – Brooklyn Magazine Dec 18, 2016 Full Review Things to Come (2016) 99% “Huppert's work is perhaps most notable for its understatement and its offhand precision. She's particularly interesting to watch as she receives bad news.” – Brooklyn Magazine Dec 2, 2016 Full Review Paths of the Soul (2015) 94% “Their devotion is staggering. And so is the film.” – AV Club Dec 1, 2016 Full Review Here Come the Videofreex (2015) 100% “Extraordinary stranger-than-fiction story.” – Brooklyn Magazine Nov 30, 2016 Full Review Embrace of the Serpent (2015) 96% “Shot in Super 35mm black and white well-suited to its lapses into the hallucinatory, Serpent conveys a superbly lucid sense of the jungle's density.” – Brooklyn Magazine Nov 30, 2016 Full Review The Club (2015) 88% “The movie winds up feeling like a kind of cover-up in itself.” – Brooklyn Magazine Nov 30, 2016 Full Review Valley of Love (2015) 73% “It is Depardieu, as a mass of a man facing his own mortality, who anchors the film, baring his huge belly for the camera even when he's not in the vicinity of the motel pool -- he's quite clearly (and quite poignantly) a man lost inside his own body.” – Brooklyn Magazine Nov 29, 2016 Full Review A War (2015) 90% “In human terms, A War's moral calculus might seem a bit off, but the point certainly hits home -- in the age of "precision" remote-controlled weaponry and guerrilla ambushes, war crimes have become all too easy to commit.” – Brooklyn Magazine Nov 29, 2016 Full Review Krisha (2015) 95% “A big old family might gather under a single roof in Krisha, but the intriguing indie nonetheless steers clear of home-for-the-holidays formula -- it's more emotional-spiral suspense film than sentimental drama.” – Brooklyn Magazine Nov 29, 2016 Full Review Marguerite & Julien (2015) 20% “If it's too misbegotten to fall head over heels with, it's also too sensitively wrought to dismiss outright.” – Brooklyn Magazine Nov 29, 2016 Full Review Nocturnal Animals (2016) 74% “As a seductive fiction, Nocturnal Animals itself leaves something to be desired.” – Brooklyn Magazine Nov 18, 2016 Full Review Christine (2016) 88% “It does justice to its subject, who falls victim to a toxic cocktail of major depression, social maladjustment, and the indignities of the emergent infotainment business.” – Brooklyn Magazine Oct 13, 2016 Full Review Voyage of Time: The IMAX Experience (2016) 90% “Voyage of Time constitutes something more audacious than a call to action. First and foremost, it sets out to model an ethic of wonder.” – Brooklyn Magazine Oct 7, 2016 Full Review American Honey (2016) 79% “The audacity of the thing is estimable.” – Brooklyn Magazine Sep 29, 2016 Full Review My Blind Brother (2016) 80% “These are intriguingly damaged individuals who are nonetheless shortly put through the motions of a rather forgettable love-triangle comedy.” – Brooklyn Magazine Sep 21, 2016 Full Review
