A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014)
96%
“By the film's conclusion, after many arresting sequences and just as many that drag, emotion hasn't built as effectively as it could if the film had been edited more mercilessly.” –

What We Do in the Shadows (2014)
96%
“Taikia Waititi and Jemaine Clement's rollicking mockumentary "What We Do in the Shadows" shows us that bloodsuckers have banal problems, too -- like getting along with roommates.” –

Frank (2014)
92%
“Now, about Frank. Abrahamson has done something quite brilliant with the casting here, akin to Spike Jonze using Scarlett Johansson's voice in "Her."” –

Nymphomaniac: Volume I (2014)
76%
“The penultimate chapter with Slater is where the film shifts from comedy to tragedy, and von Trier somewhat salvages our emotional interest in Joe, though it does feel like too little too late.” –

White Bird in a Blizzard (2014)
59%
“The truest mark of Araki's success with this very good if flawed film may be that its finale, while completely telegraphed, is still moving -- tear-jerking, even.” –

Obvious Child (2014)

“Hats off to Robespierre and Slate. They've managed to deliver a film with actual edge, which somehow retains the characteristics that any successful romantic comedy should have.” –

Abuse of Weakness (2013)
86%
“The title of the film may be "Abuse of Weakness," but Isabelle Huppert's performance as a filmmaker who suffers a stroke and then gets willingly conned by an ex-con is nothing but strong and steely-nerved.” –

The German Doctor (2013)
75%
“"The German Doctor" -- based on Puenzo's own novel which speculates on a murky six-month period Mengele spent in Argentina before escaping to Paraguay -- is a smart and many-layered film.” –

Locke (2013)
91%
“If you're going to make a film about a guy taking calls from his car -- and if half of those calls are about concrete -- then you sure as hell better cast a lead actor with command of the screen.” –

The Galapagos Affair: Satan Came to Eden (2014)
83%
“Constructing a true-crime film where all of the first-hand subjects are long gone is a tricky thing. Yet Geller and Goldfine rise to the challenge.” –

It Felt Like Love (2013)
85%
“First-time feature filmmaker Hittman, working with the talented DP Sean Porter, has a natural way with visuals that communicates the curiosity running rabid through the blood of summer-idle teenagers.” –

Blue Jasmine (2013)
90%
“The film itself doesn't match Blanchett's stunning commitment -- which is a pity, because in various ways it is one of Allen's more unusual works in years.” –

Breathe In (2013)
56%
“The film boasts a solid visual style and strong performances to at first ignore the inevitable - and boring - other plot contrivances clearly at work. But they set in, alas.” –
