Rotting in the Sun (2023)
82%
“So lost in Silva’s solipsistic and wishy-washy negativity that nothing gets shaped. If you’re going to be as negative as Silva is being in this movie, then you need to go all the way with it and be extremely negative and specific. ” –

Cassandro (2023)
91%
“A triumph for Bernal and for Williams and all his collaborators, a film that takes on very fresh territory and suffuses all of its frames with love for all of the people in it.” –

Indigo Girls: It's Only Life After All (2023)
93%
“The most serious flaw of “It’s Only Life After All” is that Bombach has us spend so much time with these women, yet we learn so little about them.” –

In from the Side (2022)
54%
“So padded out at 134 minutes with both rugby games and sex scenes that the final effect is numbing, and writer-director Matt Carter doesn’t bother much with either plot or character to fill out his narrative.” –

Beautiful Beings (2022)
82%
“Guðmundsson shows us Addi embracing Konni and stroking his hair without a trace of self-consciousness. But where the film eventually goes with this strand of the narrative feels evasive and confusing, as if Guðmundsson doesn’t want to deal with it fully.” –

The Quiet Girl (2022)
97%
“Marks the first narrative feature from director Colm Bairéad, who concentrates for long stretches on visual effects with light that soon start to feel repetitive and pictorial rather than illuminating of character or story.” –

Spoiler Alert (2022)
87%
“Many of the scenes here seem to have been shot in a spirit of tense desperation; the comedy doesn’t land, the romance takes too long to get going, and the tearjerking scenes are spoiled by a meta framework that makes Showalter’s job even more difficult.” –

“Parter's basic structure is fairly solid and his characters are well chosen, but all of his dialogue consists of the sort of hyperbolized declarations of plot exposition that only gets by on guilty-pleasure 온라인카지노추천 shows.” –

Sidney (2022)

“It leans far more towards one-dimensional inspiration than insight. Important questions are sometimes raised here by the interview subjects, but they are almost always evasively dropped.” –

Catherine Called Birdy (2022)

“This film adaptation of the book retains the setting but filters everything through Dunham’s very narrow modern sensibility. The result is listless, plodding and self-congratulatory.” –

Peter von Kant (2022)

“But filmmaking for Fassbinder was always a matter of life and death; there was a sense that he would kill himself to finish a movie. Ozon too often treats moviemaking like a hastily planned party he’s giving with a starry guest list.” –
