Denise Calls Up (1995) 71% “About as cinematic as, well, an 80-minute conference call. There's a cute short somewhere in here, but across a full-length feature, the gimmicky premise is spread very thinly indeed.” – Independent on Sunday Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Rainbow (1996) 13% “Short on ingenuity and verve but oozing undisguised preachiness, this well-meaning fable is unlikely to connect with its target audience.” – Independent on Sunday Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Twister (1996) 67% “While Speed was a lean, self-contained piece, Twister is a lurching succession of awesome set-pieces barely held together by limp characterisation... It's a procession of thrills, but it doesn't add up to any kind of suspense.” – Independent on Sunday Jul 12, 2024 Full Review The Matrix (1999) 83% “The visual effects are impressive, but the movie’s overall style is wearing... The cumulative effect is perversely deflationary: long before it’s over, the film has flushed the paranoia from its system.” – Village Voice Jul 12, 2023 Full Review Love's Labour's Lost (2000) 50% “The result is good-natured enough to withstand both an uneven cast (Alessandro Nivola and Adrian Lester are standouts, while Alicia Silverstone and Matthew Lillard struggle gamely) and its own limited novelty value.” – Out Magazine May 24, 2022 Full Review Set Me Free (1999) 83% “Vanasse gives a performance of unaffected grace, and Pool reveals a keen eye for the formative moments of adolescence.” – Out Magazine May 24, 2022 Full Review Not One Less (1999) 96% “Wei sets off on a rescue odyssey that derives humor from the young heroine's alarmingly steely determination and pathos from the film's stark depiction of life on the street.” – Out Magazine May 24, 2022 Full Review Beau travail (1999) 87% “Ardent and unflinching, Beau Travail looks beyond homoeroticism to the subtle, savage power games of an all-male world.” – Out Magazine May 24, 2022 Full Review Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood (2019) 86% “Its unending California dream is the expression of a palpable, deeply poignant yearning.” – Artforum Jun 3, 2019 Full Review Freedom (2019) 71% “Liberté more than lived up to its title, suggesting that a truly free cinema is one that still believes in the possibility of subversion.” – Artforum Jun 3, 2019 Full Review Pain and Glory (2019) 96% “... an autumnal memory piece that arrives at a state of hard-won grace and serenity.” – Artforum Jun 3, 2019 Full Review Zombi Child (2019) 85% “...functioning equally as a delirious teen-horror reverie, a serious study of the zombie myth, and an open-ended riff on the persistence of the colonial past.” – Artforum Jun 3, 2019 Full Review Parasite (2019) 99% “Parasite puts a wickedly literal spin on the notion that there is always someone lower on the socioeconomic ladder.” – Artforum Jun 3, 2019 Full Review Atlantics (2019) 96% “The potent, hallucinatory moods of Diop's previous work are beautifully assimilated here into an oneiric fable of migration and transmigration-suspended between realism and fantasy, the living and the dead, here and elsewhere.” – Artforum Jun 3, 2019 Full Review Bacurau (2019) 93% “Far from a one-to-one political allegory, Bacurau is a work of powerfully inchoate despair and rage.” – Artforum Jun 3, 2019 Full Review Viola (2012) 92% “If many recent art films have made prominent use of nonactors, typically cast as some version of themselves, Pineiro's beguiling, hyperverbal movies revel in the transportive potential -- and sheer pleasure -- of actors acting.” – Artforum Jun 8, 2017 Full Review The Devil, Probably (1977) 85% “Thirty-five years on, The Devil, Probably can still trigger a shock of recognition.” – Artforum May 22, 2014 Full Review Story of My Death (2013) 75% “Against a backdrop of candlelit conversation and barnyard carnality, Serra sets in motion contrasting ideas about pleasure and desire, alternating between winding philosophical dialogue and wordless passages of savage beauty.” – Los Angeles Times Sep 15, 2013 Full Review Nosferatu (1922) 97% “Less frightening than haunting, Murnau's film conjures a persistent atmosphere of dread and decay, thanks in part to Max Schreck's immortal performance as Orlok.” – Los Angeles Times Aug 21, 2013 Full Review No (2012) 93% “No concludes Larrain's trilogy on the Pinochet years, a series of films that suggest the usefulness of oblique angles when braving the minefields of fictionalizing recent history. The filmmaker comes by this sidelong view naturally.” – Artforum Jul 1, 2013 Full Review Frozen River (2008) 88% 3.5/5 “Courtney Huntâ(TM)s somber film Frozen River ventures deep into the trenches where hard-working Americans struggle to put food on the table.” – New York Times Aug 1, 2008 Full Review The Exiles (1961) 89% “Despite its compact time frame the film conjures a powerful sensation of purgatory: a night like many others.” – New York Times Jul 7, 2008 Full Review The Amateurs (The Moguls) (Dirty Movie) (2005) 19% 1/5 “There are no laughs to be found in writer-director Michael Traeger's would-be comedy The Amateurs, but there is one big mystery: how actors of this caliber could have been convinced to take part.” – Los Angeles Times Dec 7, 2007 Full Review 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2007) 96% 4/5 “Never surrendering its grip on the viewer, 4 Months is the rare film with gravity and speed -- a moral tale in the form of a suspense thriller.” – Los Angeles Times Nov 2, 2007 Full Review No End in Sight (2007) 96% 4/5 “No End in Sight, the latest Iraq documentary, is the first to attempt a detailed historical overview and probably the only one with the potential to reach across partisan lines, a true rarity in the sphere of political filmmaking.” – Los Angeles Times Aug 2, 2007 Full Review
