C+
“It’s worth mentioning that Sayles has commendably produced the sort of project Hollywood rarely churns out but otherwise the ideas here lack inspiration. The movie illustrates that talented craftsmanship isn’t necessarily equatable to great art.” –

Jerrod Carmichael: Rothaniel (2022)
100%
“Carmichael bobs and weaves through personal history with an imaginative form of exhibitionism that has more in common with the climax of All That Jazz than any conventional standup routine. The stage isn’t a veil -- it’s a magnifying glass.” –

The Truffle Hunters (2020)

B+
“The movie falls short of creating a singular argument, and the effect of its poetic visuals drifts off by the end. Still, it excels at diving into the essence of a business that's antithetical to modern-day supply and demand.” –

B
“Though it takes a peculiar turn into thriller territory in its third act, the movie gains propulsion as it moves along, aided by Devi's stone-faced determination to survive changing circumstances on her own terms.” –

Cow (2021)

A-
“"Cow" doesn't interrogate the motives behind that process - leave that to "Fast Food Nation" and its ilk - but it does a fine job of generating empathy from one scene to the next, and using that power to craft a hypnotic spell rife with significance.” –
