Nashville (1975)

5/5
“Nashville is an undisputed masterpiece. Add to that the biting comedy and knockout musical sequences and it's certainly tempting to make the claim for Altman's all-star gem being the best American film of the 1970s.” –

Ricki and the Flash (2015)

3/5
“Demme plods through the familial tangles, but he tears through the music scenes with real verve. The film comes alive when Ricki is onstage; it's throwback barroom rock, euphorically delivered.” –

The Salvation (2014)

“Though it talks loftily of Westward expansion and the pioneer spirit, it is in essence a picture in thrall to the masters of pulp; from the combustible Spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone to the unfussy American grit of Walter Hill.” –

The Duke of Burgundy (2014)

4/5
“Like the nocturnal reveries of Jean Cocteau, The Duke of Burgundy feels out of time, embalmed like a dream; perhaps it's a self-contained prism though which we detect our own part in the games of love.” –

Blackhat (2015)

“It's ugly, but purposefully so. Mann shoots his characters like they're a ragtag band of warriors... It's both dizzying and disorienting; creating an urgency that's maintained throughout the lengthy run time.” –
