Scarlet Street (1945) 100% “In his images and his storytelling, Lang drew together masses of intersecting lines, steel cables that pulled his characters to their doom or their reward.” – Slant Magazine Feb 6, 2024 Full Review 1900 (1976) 52% 3.5/4 “Bertolucci's concept of the epic is to fashion a living, fluid organism that spans the distances between several poles of extremity: ancient and modern, agony and ecstasy, life and theater, rich and poor.” – Slant Magazine Feb 17, 2019 Full Review Too Big to Fail (2011) 77% 0.5/4 “You know you're in trouble when you're watching a film and, in real time, in your mind's eye, you're watching some alternate film that's much better - more daring, more fun, more something, but most importantly, a different film.” – Slant Magazine Jun 25, 2018 Full Review Ismael's Ghosts (2017) 51% 4/5 “To nobody's surprise, Desplechin keeps a lot of plates spinning effortlessly.” – Little White Lies Jun 1, 2018 Full Review Sansho the Bailiff (1954) 100% “Every cut threatens to swallow a galaxy.” – Village Voice Apr 5, 2018 Full Review Chikamatsu Monogatari (1954) 100% “This truly is a story from Chikamatsu, within which the ballad of Mohei and Osan exerts a pitiless mechanical force, like a trebuchet, that forever alters the lives of those around them.” – Village Voice Apr 5, 2018 Full Review Daguerrotype (2016) 55% “What a sad film, devouring even deservedly hopeful youth.” – Village Voice Mar 20, 2018 Full Review Homicide (1991) 88% 83/100 “The experience of spending time with the 'Homicide' team is so pleasurable that it's disappointing to be reminded of the stringent requirements of "plot" and "resolution."” – Apollo Guide Dec 13, 2017 Full Review The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928) 98% “This is neither a hopeful nor a hopeless film, but one of feeling so colossal and resplendent, it can't be constrained by prison or consumed by fire.” – Village Voice Nov 22, 2017 Full Review Clash (2016) 93% “A horror film where the beast is the chaos, hopelessness, and mistrust that's been harvested in the wake of the 2013 coup; think Cloverfield if the monster is us.” – Slant Magazine Dec 11, 2016 Full Review Certain Women (2016) 92% 3/4 “The threat of feeling slighted links every small and large ripple of drama in Kelly Reichardt's film.” – Slant Magazine Sep 28, 2016 Full Review The Hateful Eight (2015) 74% 3/4 “The premise of the film is simple, but it's a simplicity that can only attract complications, as simple plans are apt to do, in an atmosphere of foreboding and the macabre.” – Slant Magazine Dec 15, 2015 Full Review Joy (2015) 61% 2.5/4 “David O. Russell proposes that there may be no real barrier between the caustic worldview he wears and the sense of childlike wonder he sells.” – Slant Magazine Dec 7, 2015 Full Review The Revenant (2015) 78% 1.5/4 “What pushes the film, at long last, into the icy river, is its very design, as a monument to slick, mercenary grandeur.” – Slant Magazine Dec 4, 2015 Full Review In Jackson Heights (2015) 96% 4/4 “The lightning in the film's bottle isn't some generic feel-good humanism, but a complicated one, fighting for its own existence, sometimes angry, sometimes despondent.” – Slant Magazine Nov 2, 2015 Full Review The Walk (2015) 83% 3/4 “In order to make the walk, Philippe Petit has to comprehend it as real and impossible. Zemeckis teaches us the same lesson.” – Slant Magazine Sep 27, 2015 Full Review The Martian (2015) 91% 2/4 “The film goes in for the idea of texture and tics and human behavior, but there's no conviction, and no real push for eccentricity.” – Slant Magazine Sep 23, 2015 Full Review Metropolitan (1990) 93% 3.5/4 “Whit Stillman's "urban haute bourgeoisie" are redeemed because the filmmaker takes custody of them, their idiosyncrasies, their flaws.” – Slant Magazine Aug 2, 2015 Full Review Something, Anything (2014) 93% 3.5/4 “The film turns what at first seemingly appears as Kodak moments into a study of a soul in transition.” – Slant Magazine Jan 7, 2015 Full Review The Shop Around the Corner (1940) 99% 4/4 “The charm of the gimmick in Lubitsch's take is passed over quickly in favor of studying both its effects on those involved, as well as the dynamics of the workplace at large.” – Slant Magazine Dec 22, 2014 Full Review Calvary (2014) 89% 2/4 “One may feel dissatisfied by the 11th-hour turn toward lyrical fatalism, and mildly insulted by the presumptuous attitude it seems to choose as it sends us on our way.” – Slant Magazine Jul 29, 2014 Full Review 22 Jump Street (2014) 84% 2/4 “As funny and batshit insane as the movie often is, the fact that the film knows it's a tiresome sequel doesn't save it from being a tiresome sequel.” – Slant Magazine Jun 9, 2014 Full Review Escape From New York (1981) 86% 3.5/4 “Most of the images are elaborate confections of urban blight, etched against a nearly unlit soundstage, and the sound mix, until the finale, is rarely louder than Snake's elbow busting out an old windowpane.” – Slant Magazine Jul 17, 2013 Full Review Supporting Characters (2012) 86% 3/4 “Glides from a mildly off-putting opening across several scenes that waver between sitcom superficiality and sudden, unexpected gusts of feeling.” – Slant Magazine Jan 19, 2013 Full Review Nothing But a Man (1964) 98% 3.5/4 “It can't be overstated just how Nothing But a Man is militantly tone-deaf to the Hollywood muzak of race relations.” – Slant Magazine Nov 9, 2012 Full Review
