Nothing Compares (2022) 99% “The greatness of Ferguson’s film isn’t so much in the craft of the film, although it is engaging, but instead it’s in the choice to focus not on the moments that made her famous and instead focus on the lead up to these moments. ” – The CriterionCast Dec 15, 2022 Full Review After Blue (2021) 76% “Mandico's latest film is inarguably his most accomplished and is a thrilling, engrossingly surreal answer to the question of what may just happen to us as we near end times. A thrilling, captivating piece of filmmaking. ” – The CriterionCast Sep 14, 2022 Full Review Please Baby Please (2022) 77% “Please Baby Please is a gleefully campy thriller that is maybe too ambitious for its own good but examines gender norms and dynamics in a way that’s both thrilling and thought-provoking” – The CriterionCast Aug 12, 2022 Full Review Out in the Ring (2022) 100% “The film is a powerful, if maybe simply told, meditation on a much too overlooked aspect of pro-wrestling history. Must watch for anyone who even has the most passing of interest in pro-wrestling.” – The CriterionCast Aug 12, 2022 Full Review Flux Gourmet (2022) 85% “Flux Gourmet is a gloriously over-the-top rumination on creativity and authorship that emphasizes all of Strickland's kinks, culminating in a one-of-a-kind piece of gastro-baroque filmmaking.” – The CriterionCast Jul 5, 2022 Full Review Riotsville, USA (2022) 91% “The film is an endlessly captivating time capsule of a moment this country is repeating as we speak. An essential piece of modern political art.” – The CriterionCast Feb 3, 2022 Full Review The Cathedral (2022) 96% “ Something of an elevated photobook of sorts, DAmbroses second feature is a deft, deeply felt family study that feels as personal as it does dream-like.” – The CriterionCast Feb 3, 2022 Full Review After Yang (2021) 89% “After Yang is a meditative, tranquil and melancholic rumination on life, loss, grief and family thats truly one of a kind” – The CriterionCast Feb 3, 2022 Full Review Isabella (2020) 85% “Exploding themes Pineiro has himself been riffing on for much of his career, the experimenting with tone and narrative make the director's latest film feel utterly essential.” – The CriterionCast Sep 2, 2021 Full Review Test Pattern (2021) 96% “Test Pattern is an incredibly taut narrative despite a non-linear structure, with jumps in time feeling natural because Ford has complete control over their story.” – The CriterionCast Mar 20, 2021 Full Review Yung Lean: In My Head (2020) “This new documentary shines a light on one of modern rap music's more influential, and controversial, figures, chronicling the rise and all of a troubled young artist.” – The CriterionCast Jan 17, 2021 Full Review Somebody's Hero (2012) “Featuring a handful of great performances, it may not be the most rewarding watch ever, but I'll be damned if this one doesn't win you over by the time the credits roll.” – The CriterionCast Dec 5, 2020 Full Review Proxima (2019) 86% “It's a muted film, a mature and intimate film that doesn't lean into histrionics, instead finds beauty in the bonds of a mother and a child...” – The CriterionCast Nov 14, 2020 Full Review Epicentro (2020) 89% “A brazenly experimental feature, Epicentro is a textured and provocative look at the trail left by a history of colonialism, both literal and more figuratively.” – The CriterionCast Sep 10, 2020 Full Review She Dies Tomorrow (2020) 84% “She Dies Tomorrow is at points a film about the way one deals with mortality, collective trauma and mass psychosis, making it an essential work of 2020 pop culture.” – The CriterionCast Sep 10, 2020 Full Review My name is Margiela (2019) 78% “The direct involvement of Margiela may have forced the director's hand in tone and structure, but this type of almost hagiography feels fitting of a designer with less energy.” – The CriterionCast Sep 10, 2020 Full Review Rebuilding Paradise (2020) 93% “Equal parts tender and terrifying, Rebuilding Paradise is a gorgeously rendered documentary, playing as a tense, engrossing and crisply shot study of a community torn apart.” – The CriterionCast Sep 10, 2020 Full Review Shine Your Eyes (2020) 100% “A shockingly considered and mature film...” – The CriterionCast Sep 10, 2020 Full Review The Rental (2020) 73% “This is a lean and mean slasher film, an engaging deconstruction of a time-worn genre that's been rebuilt for an aspect of everyday life that rightly deserves a good skewering” – The CriterionCast Sep 10, 2020 Full Review Guest of Honour (2019) 41% “While it may not ultimately amount to much on a thematic level, Egoyan's latest is a fascinating experiment from a director who has seemingly found the spark once again.” – The CriterionCast Sep 10, 2020 Full Review Relic (2020) 91% “Driven by a whip-smart script from James and co-writer Christian White, Relic is a rich and layered text that's both harrowing and emotionally nuanced and textured.” – The CriterionCast Sep 10, 2020 Full Review Fourteen (2019) 98% “Fourteen feels almost like a collection of journal or diary entries, devastating moments in these lives that will flash forward at the drop of a hat” – The CriterionCast Sep 10, 2020 Full Review The Vast of Night (2019) 92% “Very clearly an atmosphere piece, the film does have an oddly rigid narrative, owing more to things like War of the Worlds than just the radio station's WOTW call sign.” – The CriterionCast Sep 10, 2020 Full Review Shirley (2020) 88% “Decker and DP Sturla Brandth Grovlen turn this fictional recounting of a moment in the life of Shirley Jackson into and expressionist rumination on truth, storytelling” – The CriterionCast Sep 10, 2020 Full Review The Trip to Greece (2020) 88% “It's a road film, a buddy comedy and a rumination on age and mortality, all rolled into a quaint and gorgeously crafted piece of food porn that's endlessly watchable.” – The CriterionCast Sep 10, 2020 Full Review
