SLY LIVES! (aka The Burden of Black Genius) (2025) 92% “It goes harder than a typical biography.” – Chicago Reader Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Love to Love You, Donna Summer (2023) 82% “This is a daughter’s exploration of who her mother was at her core, and why she lived her life and made her choices the way she did.” – Chicago Reader May 24, 2023 Full Review Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) (2021) 99% 4/4 “The documentary is a window into the Harlem Culture Festival and discussions of Black history, community and identity in the 60s.” – Chicago Reader Jul 3, 2021 Full Review Uncorked (2020) 94% “A charming and thoughtful film.” – Chicago Reader Mar 27, 2020 Full Review Being Frank (2018) 34% “Sure there are some laughs in this dark comedy, but frankly it's a story about an ordinary man who lies to the people he loves and teaches his son to do the same.” – Chicago Reader Mar 20, 2020 Full Review Tel Aviv on Fire (2018) 89% “A lightweight but smart combination of satire, drama, and rom-com.” – Chicago Reader Mar 13, 2020 Full Review Heavy Trip (2018) 94% “One of the funniest buddy films of the year.” – Chicago Reader Mar 12, 2020 Full Review Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice (2019) 89% “The film successfully paints Ronstadt as a whip-smart, boundary-breaking artist... But it shys away from critically evaluating her accomplishments while portraying her as somewhat forgotten in today's music scene, which seems a tad unfair.” – Chicago Reader Mar 9, 2020 Full Review The Coldest Game (2019) 0% “You'd expect a film that involves espionage and a high-stakes chess tournament during the height of the Cold War to leave you on the edge of your seat. But then there's The Coldest Game.” – Chicago Reader Mar 6, 2020 Full Review The Banker (2020) 78% “With its look into 20th-century discrimination that still casts a shadow on communities today, and stellar performances from Mackie and Jackson, The Banker is worth watching with the whole family.” – Chicago Reader Mar 6, 2020 Full Review Foosballers (2019) 100% “Like any great subculture documentary, Foosballers is at its best while opening a window into the passion, dedication, and personal stories of its subjects.” – Chicago Reader Mar 5, 2020 Full Review Pick of the Litter (2018) 97% “Though it could benefit from more context and history of guide dogs and a little less walk footage, the film offers compelling insight into a process most know little about-and whether they make the cut or not, there's a happy ending for every dog.” – Chicago Reader Mar 4, 2020 Full Review The Dirt (2019) 38% “Even Airheads, the 1994 comedy that spoofed Sunset Strip hard-rock culture, had a more gripping storyline and emotional arc (and certainly more laughs) than this tale of a real band that helped define that scene.” – Chicago Reader Feb 21, 2020 Full Review Misty Button (2019) “Brimming with witty dialogue and colorful characters.” – Chicago Reader Feb 21, 2020 Full Review “More than just a touching family story.” – Chicago Reader Feb 21, 2020 Full Review “What it lacks in plot twists and character development, it makes up for in messaging.” – Chicago Reader Feb 21, 2020 Full Review Brainiac: Transmissions After Zero (2019) “Sheds light on what it's like to move on following tragedy, while beautifully telling the story of creative weirdos who developed their own musical language and whose influence continues to pulse through independent music culture today.” – Chicago Reader Feb 21, 2020 Full Review The Great Escape (1963) 94% “For all its missteps, when it comes to escapism, intrigue, and indulgence, you could do a whole lot worse than The Great Escape. Just watch it with an open eye.” – Chicago Reader Feb 21, 2019 Full Review Hard Paint (2018) 92% “Hard Paint explores what makes a true human connection in an era when emotional and sexual gratification can be obtained with a click.” – Chicago Reader Oct 10, 2018 Full Review Scream for Me Sarajevo (2017) 100% “Though the concert was the catalyst for the film, it provides a portal into a broader and even more compelling story.” – Chicago Reader Nov 9, 2017 Full Review
