No Other Land (2024)
100%
“It moves with the crackling energy of an action film. And even the framing of shots is expertly done. The result is a visual and emotional powerhouse.” –

A Complete Unknown (2024)
82%
“More a platform to present the music than a deep dive into solving the mystery of who Dylan is. But the character and the period are so charismatic and cinematic, the result is a great looking, great sounding, colorful historical document.” –

“Holland reveals just how deep this web of fascism goes, how it takes root, how it spreads, and how it plays out.” –

Perfect Days (2023)
96%
“Pared down to the basics and simplified to almost a parable, the film pauses to observe and savor the everyday pleasures of a life well lived. The beauty of the movie is that ordinary things may very well look different to you after seeing it.” –

Godzilla Minus One (2023)
99%
“It’s a cautionary tale and social commentary on nuclear weapons and other natural disasters threatening the future of the world. At the same time, this iteration of Godzilla is a masterful popcorn movie with heart.” –

Past Lives (2023)
95%
“Too often characters in movies are who they are; they don’t change. It’s a tribute to Song’s crisp and literate script that these are people alive in the moment and in the act of becoming based on where they’ve come from.” –

Empire of Light (2022)

“Mendes attempts to juggle a lot of big themes and bring the threads together. It doesn’t always work but enough does to make the film poignant and glorious to look at.” –

Women Talking (2022)
90%
“There is little doubt the film will resonant for women, but it could have an even bigger impact on men who get closer to the horrors of being a woman then they may have ever wanted to go.” –

Tár (2022)

“Tár runs headlong into the gauntlet of political correctness. She is charged and convicted in the court of public opinion, even if some of the evidence is conveniently falsified...” –

The Power of the Dog (2021)

“It's a sad world dominated by a distorted patriarchy. Champion probes the roots of this with surgical precision and psychological acuity as if she were picking the scab off of a long festering wound.” –

The Velvet Underground (2021)
98%
“The scene was well documented and the seemingly unlimited access Haynes and editors Alfonso Gonçalves and Adam Kurnitz had to the Warhol Foundation archives help paint a picture of an amphetamine-fuelled era.” –

The Many Saints of Newark (2021)
72%
“Saints, even more than The Sopranos, plays like a Bruce Springsteen song, populated by small-time Jersey crooks looking for a big score and people just trying to get a handle on their lives and navigate the roadblocks at every turn.” –

Little Women (2019)

“Gerwig modernizes the material and gives it momentum by chopping up the narrative so it moves back and forth in time rather than telling a linear story.” –

“To see Rob Garver's affectionate documentary about Kael's career is to be once again swept away by the excitement of cinema as she experienced it.” –

The Irishman (2019)

The Post (2017)
