The Little Fugitive (1953) 93% 5/5 “Like childhood itself, it's over before you're ready to let it go.” – Time Out Sep 16, 2021 Full Review Mother (2019) 92% “As with many resonant works of narrative art, its extreme particularity has universal echoes.” – Film Comment Magazine Jan 21, 2021 Full Review Dick Johnson Is Dead (2020) 99% “It's in the film's non-dioramic elements, the observational and candid moments, that life is most urgently asserted. Yes, time is short.” – Film Comment Magazine Sep 15, 2020 Full Review The Mole Agent (2020) 95% “The deadening/enlivening line that Alberdi walks here is something like that between surface twee and bone-deep pathos...but it's elevated through the buy-in of its subjects.” – Film Comment Magazine Sep 15, 2020 Full Review Some Kind of Heaven (2020) 93% “I hazard to think that the film's mutual curiosity gives Some Kind of Heaven its vivifying spirit, that transforms what might have been familiarly charming and smirkily knowing into something more troubling, elusive, and enduring.” – Film Comment Magazine Sep 15, 2020 Full Review Rollerball (1975) 69% “Jewison's extreme-sports future shock bundles together a paranoid political thriller, a McLuhan-drunk media satire, ultraviolent exploitation, reverent respect for faddish athletic pursuits and enough zoom shots to make Robert Altman blush.” – Rolling Stone May 30, 2018 Full Review Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) 91% “Tasked with the pivot film in a trilogy, Johnson chose the right time to reinvigorate the narrative with irreconcilable forces, doubts, and conflicts. Suspension is a middle chapter's best asset. And best in that it's truest.” – Reverse Shot Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Loveless (2017) 94% “Loveless's most crucial images are either captured from the ground up, trees spinning against the sky, or left in rooms and cars recently abandoned, attentive to the sudden quiet and pushing through windows for a closer look.” – Film Comment Magazine Jan 3, 2018 Full Review The Work (2017) 100% “The theatricality of The Work is neither incidental nor detrimental-it's native to the process being documented. Every space is, or at least can be, a theatrical one.” – Reverse Shot Nov 2, 2017 Full Review Che Guevara (2005) “Problematic as portrait, the film fascinates as a mess of artistic choices - some bold, some easy, many good in theory if not in effect.” – Stop Smiling Aug 24, 2017 Full Review Summer Hours (2008) 94% “Avoiding easy conflict and histrionics, Summer Hours instead shows loving siblings, relatives and friends negotiating differences the best that they can.” – Stop Smiling Aug 24, 2017 Full Review Shuga (Chouga) (2007) 60% “An adaptation of Tolstoy's Anna Karenina transposed to contemporary Kazakhstan, Chouga is a masterful distillation of the great novel's characterizations and themes.” – Stop Smiling Aug 23, 2017 Full Review Tulpan (2008) 96% “From beginning to end, horizon to horizon, Dvortsevoy's film is simply a privilege to watch.” – Stop Smiling Aug 23, 2017 Full Review The Battle of Algiers (1966) 99% “It uses realism as an effect, documentary as a style. You feel that you're really there, and you can't help but be moved.” – Village Voice Oct 5, 2016 Full Review The Lost Arcade (2015) 67% “The fate of Chinatown Fair makes for a reasonably compelling, if familiar, story... [Yet] it's when the film wanders offsite that its true subject emerges.” – Village Voice Aug 12, 2016 Full Review Under the Sun (2015) 94% “Though there's something inherently satisfying about seeing propaganda de-pantsed, Mansky has something greater to offer than easy irony.” – Village Voice Jul 8, 2016 Full Review W. (2008) 58% “Not only does W. fail as both drama and comedy, it's unclear which sequences are meant to be which.” – Stop Smiling Jun 14, 2016 Full Review Allegiance (2012) 29% “A genre-savvy, ethically entangled military thriller by first-timer Michael Connors.” – Film Comment Magazine Jun 7, 2016 Full Review Maggie's Plan (2015) 86% “It's clear that Maggie's plan was ill-conceived from the start, and unfortunately Maggie's Plan proves ill-conceived through to the end.” – Reverse Shot May 25, 2016 Full Review Weiner (2016) 96% “The problem is that Weiner tells a fully expected story, leveraging laughs out of the politician's pre-mocked predicament, and shaping near-silent appearances by Abedin into a sympathy-courting foil.” – Film Comment Magazine May 3, 2016 Full Review Slumdog Millionaire (2008) 91% “A goofy picaresque to rival Forrest Gump, Slumdog Millionaire has a similar power to please, shell-gaming the audience into emotionally investing in and celebrating its protagonist's dumb romanticism.” – Reverse Shot Feb 23, 2016 Full Review The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) 72% “There are worse films than The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and those 15 masterful minutes may well justify the price of admission. But there's a lot of movie before and after Swinton's cameo.” – Stop Smiling Dec 12, 2015 Full Review In Jackson Heights (2015) 96% 5/5 “Whether we're digging in, driving by, spending time with or merely glimpsing, going long or going short, there's not a frame of In Jackson Heights that isn't completely, fully, fascinatingly there.” – Film Comment Magazine Nov 4, 2015 Full Review Queen of Earth (2015) 93% “The film would be nothing but a hollow exercise if its hollowness weren't so hauntingly precise.” – Film Comment Magazine Sep 14, 2015 Full Review The Tribe (2014) 88% “Slaboshpytskiy's gambit is to thrust us into the domain of the deaf by eliminating the spoken word and withholding subtitled translation for the flurried sign language, making this a truly and pointedly silent movie.” – Film Comment Magazine May 7, 2015 Full Review
