Anselm (2023)

“As this film observes more and more of his compelling oeuvre, the viewer becomes more engrossed in the art than its cinematic presentation and the 3-D effect seems to fade into the background, necessary rather than impressive.” –

Seven Veils (2023)

“A fascinating film about appropriation – not cultural but personal, the morally dubious territory in which the artist takes your trauma and spins it into gold.” –

“Even at the mighty New York Times, journalism is less romantic than it was in the days of All the President’s Men; She Said is not a thrilling movie but rather a satisfying one.” –

The Good House (2021)

“The plot features various tired 온라인카지노추천 formulas but is rescued by a highly observant performance from Sigourney Weaver, who knows this brittle WASP type – well-dressed, sharp-tongued and hard-drinking.” –

Official Competition (2021)

“Cruz plays their aggressively eccentric director with a perfect blend of oddball, hauteur and deadpan. One of the many joys of this send-up of filmmaking is that, for all the director’s looniness, she is so often right.” –
