The Damned (2024) 90% 2/4 “Had we been allowed to truly sit with the characters’ prejudices, then The Damned might have earned the desperation with which it strains for contemporary resonance.” – Slant Magazine Dec 27, 2024 Full Review Kill, Baby... Kill! (1966) 100% 4/4 “This conflict between modern medicine and superstition lends Kill, Baby...Kill! a moral volatility that's noticeably absent from other films in Bava's canon.” – Slant Magazine Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Happy Campers (2023) 100% 2.5/4 “Amy Nicholson’s empathy for her subjects is undeniable.” – Slant Magazine Jul 27, 2024 Full Review Asphalt City (2023) 47% 1.5/4 “Shove everything into the meat grinder of cynicism and, in the end, your insights come to feel purely incidental.” – Slant Magazine Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Problemista (2023) 86% 1.5/4 “The film doesn’t lock on a target long enough for it to work up a head of steam as satire about the art world and how it thrives on nepotism, let alone one about the frustrations of the immigration process.” – Slant Magazine Feb 25, 2024 Full Review Iron Butterflies (2023) 88% 2/4 “Roman Liubyi’s documentary is nothing if not self-consciously obsessed with its own making.” – Slant Magazine Jan 23, 2023 Full Review When It Melts (2023) 78% 1.5/4 “When It Melts is a film that lives and dies on the games that it plays with audiences. ” – Slant Magazine Jan 22, 2023 Full Review Space: The Longest Goodbye (2023) 79% 3/4 “Ido Mizrahy’s film turns an impressively restrained and detailed lens on all the work that’s being done to provide more than just support to astronauts on a mission to Mars.” – Slant Magazine Jan 20, 2023 Full Review Jurassic World Dominion (2022) 29% .5/4 “When Dominion isn’t suffocating itself with world-building, much of it frustratingly untapped, it’s wholly given over to corny fan service.” – Slant Magazine Jun 8, 2022 Full Review R.M.N. (2022) 97% 2.5/4 “R.M.N. is a film almost perversely pregnant with sinister possibility, but it also reveals an unforgiving cynicism about the world as its social-realist strains become increasingly apparent. ” – Slant Magazine May 21, 2022 Full Review Downton Abbey: A New Era (2022) 86% 2.5/4 “A New Era’s acknowledgement that some things must die for new things to be born works to justify the film’s title by quietly linking its themes of entitlement and survival.” – Slant Magazine May 13, 2022 Full Review Firebird (2021) 57% 1.5/4 “There are clichés and then there are only clichés, and Firebird is suffocated by them.” – Slant Magazine Apr 22, 2022 Full Review Eternals (2021) 47% “Zhao ultimately robs the artist’s comic of its sweep by constantly turning a space opera into a repetitive character drama.” – Slant Magazine Feb 16, 2022 Full Review In the Same Breath (2021) 96% 3.5/4 “Wang Nanfu's extraordinary documentary sees contemporary political structures are as much of a disease as Covid-19, and, in the long run, the deadlier foes.” – Slant Magazine Aug 10, 2021 Full Review Beckett (2021) 49% 3/4 “It's thanks to a kind of tug of war between background and foreground that Beckett succeeds as a piece of entertainment.” – Slant Magazine Aug 5, 2021 Full Review Never Gonna Snow Again (2020) 95% 3.5/4 “With Never Gonna Snow Again, Malgorzata Szumowska presents a charm against apocalyptic despair but also willful ignorance, insisting that, with sufficient imagination, we can face a climate crisis of our own making.” – Slant Magazine Jul 27, 2021 Full Review No Man's Land (2021) 40% 1.5/4 “No Man's Land mostly suggests a performance of allyship on the filmmakers' part.” – Slant Magazine Jan 18, 2021 Full Review 12 Hour Shift (2020) 78% 2.5/4 “The plot, geared as much for comedy as horror, is wound with efficient build-up, and its revolving-door atmosphere is consistent enough to paper over some iffy acting, baggy dialogue, and more than a few minutes of wasted real estate.” – Slant Magazine Sep 27, 2020 Full Review Transsiberian (2008) 91% “Though not one for literal smoke and mirrors, master of horror Brad Anderson, with his panache for arousing fear from harried reality and rotted atmosphere, is still a shaman.” – Village Voice May 1, 2020 Full Review True History of the Kelly Gang (2019) 80% 2.5/4 “In more than one sense, Justin Kurzel's aggressively strange film queers the myth of the oft-lionized Ned Kelly.” – Slant Magazine Apr 20, 2020 Full Review Sea Fever (2019) 87% 2/4 “Writer-director Neasa Hardiman's film is undone by earnestness.” – Slant Magazine Apr 6, 2020 Full Review The Invisible Man (2020) 91% 1.5/4 “Like its style, The Invisible Man's cruelty is the point.” – Slant Magazine Feb 25, 2020 Full Review The Cordillera of Dreams (2019) 94% 3.5/4 “For Patricio Guzmán, to gaze at the Cordillera is to comprehend the range of history and the possibility of its distortion.” – Slant Magazine Feb 8, 2020 Full Review Three Christs (2017) 41% 1.5/4 “By the end, it's as if a good doctor's god complex has been taken up by the film itself.” – Slant Magazine Jan 5, 2020 Full Review Downton Abbey (2019) 84% 2.5/4 “Every scene here feels as if it begins with a grenade being thrown into a room, leaving one to wonder how it will be diffused, and after a while, all you see are the gears of various sublots turning separately until they mesh together and move in unison.” – Slant Magazine Sep 9, 2019 Full Review
