The Assistant (2019) 93% “The Assistant quietly exposes the complicity that protects powerful predators.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Pain and Glory (2019) 96% “We are seeing the world - in all its sadness and beauty - through his eyes. Banderas brings it all to life.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Feb 6, 2020 Full Review Just Mercy (2019) 85% “Foxx's performance as McMillian continues to haunt me. He transforms from the easygoing lumberjack to a stifled, cautious prisoner, who, after so many disappointments and losses, can barely let himself hope for any measure of justice.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Jan 24, 2020 Full Review Queen & Slim (2019) 82% “As a work of social commentary, Queen & Slim is powerful and surprisingly subtle. As a romance, it is utterly devastating.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Dec 13, 2019 Full Review “It's an intimate look at village life that leaves you with hope for the elephants and the humans.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Dec 5, 2019 Full Review Neither Wolf Nor Dog (2016) 82% “The presence of [David William Beautiful] Bald Eagle, sadly, isn't enough to save this movie. It's just enough to make me sad that I wasn't seeing a documentary about his life.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Nov 22, 2019 Full Review Leave No Trace (2018) 100% “The simple story touches on themes of trauma and loss, belonging and technology. But it does so effortlessly by focusing on a relationship between a father and daughter.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Nov 22, 2019 Full Review Amazing Grace (2018) 99% “It serves as a testament to one of the greatest singers our country has produced. It also honors the black churches that launched her -- and created the foundations of funk, soul and jazz.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Nov 22, 2019 Full Review Sorry to Bother You (2018) 93% “You never stop rooting for Cassius, even when he's lured into making poor choices. And just when you think it can't get any weirder, it does.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Nov 22, 2019 Full Review Hannah Gadsby: Nanette (2018) 100% “Gadsby grabs your attention with jokes and then slowly and expertly peels back layers to reveal a deep well of shame and anger.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Nov 22, 2019 Full Review Knock Down the House (2019) 99% “The inspiring documentary Knock Down the House shows the rise of AOC and three other progressive women who emerged after the 2016 elections.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Nov 22, 2019 Full Review Disobedience (2017) 84% “If you're up for a slow burn, and some magnificent acting, you'll want to see it.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Nov 22, 2019 Full Review Won't You Be My Neighbor? (2018) 97% “My heart was warmed to near exploding by seeing the great man on screen.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Nov 22, 2019 Full Review Love, Gilda (2018) 89% “For those of us who stayed up past our bedtimes in the '70s watching the very first cast of Saturday Night Live, the film will serve as a flashback.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Nov 22, 2019 Full Review Welcome to Marwen (2018) 33% “The biggest asset is Carell, whose heartbreaking portrayal of the lonely, traumatized artist is just what fans of Marwencol would hope for.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Nov 22, 2019 Full Review American Factory (2019) 95% “American Factory is the finest kind of documentary, one that is able to focus on people's individual lives and struggles while also illuminating global issues.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Nov 22, 2019 Full Review Tully (2018) 87% “You don't have to be a parent to enjoy Tully. We've all been a parent or a child -- and this film is really about how we take care of ourselves, and each other.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Nov 22, 2019 Full Review The Favourite (2018) 93% “It features a sharp, farcical screenplay (by Tony McNamara and Deborah Davies), along with Lanthimos' signature weirdness and Oscar-worthy performances by three strong women.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Nov 22, 2019 Full Review RBG (2018) 93% “It's a superhero movie with a twist.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Nov 22, 2019 Full Review Miss Sharon Jones!

But it does so much more than that.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Nov 22, 2019 Full Review The War at Home (1979) 100% “The War at Home is engrossing and essential viewing for anyone curious about the role of ordinary people in making change.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Nov 22, 2019 Full Review Cave of Forgotten Dreams (2010) 96% “Cave of Forgotten Dreams transports its audience into another world, on an intimate visit to France's Chauvet Cave, where only a handful of modern humans have ever been. It's one of the most significant 3-D films to ever hit the screen.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Nov 22, 2019 Full Review Spotlight (2015) 97% “Spotlight is a taut, pulse-pounding thriller. The all-star cast delivers realistic and transformative performances.” – Isthmus (Madison, WI) Nov 22, 2019 Full Review
