Broken Heart Land (2014) “...this is an important film with a lot to say. There are moments of real power, particularly those involving Nancy and her gradual transformation.” – Nonfics (Substack) Jun 30, 2020 Full Review Bovines (2011) “This small French documentary blends beautifully with the open air and erases the boundaries between cinema and the natural world.” – The Brooklyn Rail Sep 26, 2017 Full Review Kékszakállú (2016) 93% “[The end of Kkszakll is] a cinematic abyss beyond Balzs's dreams.” – The Brooklyn Rail Sep 26, 2017 Full Review Risk (2016) 80% “Unlike Citizenfour, Risk creates a much more complex ecosystem of psychological power and its abuse. This is not a prequel or sequel. It is a photonegative, even a rebuttal.” – Nonfics (Substack) May 8, 2017 Full Review Uncertain (2015) 100% “The result is a truly engrossing film, one of the year's best nonfiction portraits of the natural world.” – Nonfics (Substack) Mar 6, 2017 Full Review The Human Surge (2016) 58% 4/5 “This conundrum that can be found all over the Internet, to be sure, but rarely with such enigmatic eroticism or breathtaking technique. Like the best nonfiction work of the past few years, it encourages us to look differently at every moving image we see.” – Nonfics (Substack) Mar 3, 2017 Full Review Kedi (2016) 98% 4/5 “Torun's approach lends itself to the contemplation of feline souls, glinting in the eyes of her subjects.” – Nonfics (Substack) Feb 10, 2017 Full Review The Seasons in Quincy: Four Portraits of John Berger (2016) 71% 3/5 “Avoids the usual troubles of anthology film by keeping things focused on Berger's relaxed character and indelible optimism.” – Nonfics (Substack) Aug 31, 2016 Full Review Don't Blink -- Robert Frank (2015) 84% 4/5 “Israel's frenetic use of his photos many not capture the deep essence of any individual image, but it does approach the experience of the photographer and the irreverent speed of his art.” – Nonfics (Substack) Aug 3, 2016 Full Review Hieronymus Bosch: Touched by the Devil (2016) 62% 4/5 “The film doesn't simply relay the images, but shows the process behind them and encourages newly enlightened interpretations of our own.” – Nonfics (Substack) Aug 3, 2016 Full Review Unlocking the Cage (2016) 80% 4/5 “"a fascinating exploration of the definition of personhood and an intriguing portrait of the way activism works its way through the legal system."” – Nonfics (Substack) May 25, 2016 Full Review My Love, Don't Cross That River (2014) 79% “Its subjects are remarkably charming, their love a model of both tranquil compatibility and resilient playfulness.” – Nonfics (Substack) May 12, 2016 Full Review Keep Quiet (2016) 100% 3/5 “This powerful narrative of repentance is rendered honestly and bluntly by directors Joseph Martin and Sam Blair, who overcome some of the stylistic cliches of political biography by confronting their subject with the darkest of historical truths.” – Nonfics (Substack) Apr 29, 2016 Full Review Hockney (2014) 85% 4/5 “The film is a thorough, 112-minute overview of its subject's life and work.” – Nonfics (Substack) Apr 26, 2016 Full Review All This Panic (2016) 94% 4/5 “Its structural looseness and its intuitive images are its greatest attribute, making it the most accomplished American portrait of youth since at least 'Rich Hill.'” – Nonfics (Substack) Apr 20, 2016 Full Review Life, Animated (2016) 94% 2/5 “Unfortunately, Roger Ross Williams's documentary about Owen and his family underuses the inherent dramatic potential of the story. Life, Animated, while not short on feeling, lacks confidence.” – Nonfics (Substack) Apr 15, 2016 Full Review Thank You for Playing (2015) 90% 4/5 “Thank You for Playing also takes the experience of Ryan, Amy and their family and artistically expands it out to a universal audience.” – Nonfics (Substack) Mar 15, 2016 Full Review Here Come the Videofreex (2015) 100% 3/5 “"a charming work of both political and personal history, a well-edited and joyful document of the life and work of a video collective that encapsulates the mood of the early 1970s."” – Nonfics (Substack) Mar 9, 2016 Full Review Jim: The James Foley Story (2016) 91% 2/5 “An effectively emotional film that asks very few questions, deals in simple dichotomies of light and dark, and undermines its own potential.” – Nonfics (Substack) Feb 5, 2016 Full Review Kiki (2016) 83% 4/5 “A smart, confident debut and a real credit to its polyphonic subject.” – Nonfics (Substack) Feb 2, 2016 Full Review Cameraperson (2016) 99% 4/5 “This is what nonfiction cinema should be, a living dialog that complicates the position of the camera person in invigorating, sometimes emotionally taxing ways. This mediation, for lack of a better term, is art.” – Nonfics (Substack) Feb 2, 2016 Full Review In Jackson Heights (2015) 96% 5/5 “An epic of prosaic detail and a masterpiece of human intersection.” – Nonfics (Substack) Nov 6, 2015 Full Review Where to Invade Next (2015) 79% 1/5 “More concerned with gimmicky jokes and facile comparisons than either artful filmmaking or reasoned analysis, Michael Moore has made an adulatory travelogue of Europe's best policies that offers little nuance and even less insight.” – Nonfics (Substack) Oct 9, 2015 Full Review (T)ERROR (2015) 91% 4/5 “It's that rare nonfiction feature with a significant twist, a narrative surprise that changes everything.” – Nonfics (Substack) Sep 30, 2015 Full Review Misunderstood (2014) 81% A- “A thrilling and brutally charming experience in spite of its dark perspective.” – Film School Rejects Sep 22, 2015 Full Review
