The Sales Girl (2022) 100% 3.5/5 “Janchivdorj Sengedorj's 14th feature offers a drily amusing introduction to life in modern Ulaanbaatar with an appealingly off-kilter tone that recalls the work of Finland's Aki Kaurismäki and New Zealand's Taika Waititi.” – Video Librarian Magazine Apr 26, 2025 Full Review Sisi & I (2023) 63% 3.5/5 “The director, who wrote the screenplay with her husband, Swiss author Christian Kracht, avoids period music in favor of 20th-century tracks from female-led acts, like Nico and Portishead, aligning it with Sofia Coppola's anachronistic Marie Antoinette...” – Video Librarian Magazine Apr 24, 2025 Full Review The Shrouds (2024) 74% 3.5/4 “The Shrouds plays like a successor to Crimes of the Future (the second, and not the first film with the same title that appeared a year after Stereo). It isn't just personal, but more overtly biographical. ” – Seattle Film Blog Apr 21, 2025 Full Review Art for Everybody (2023) 100% 3.5/4 “Director Miranda Yousef doesn't just look at the paintings, prints, and ancillary products that made him rich, but behind the pious image to reveal what he really thought and the kind of art he really wanted to make.” – Seattle Film Blog Apr 16, 2025 Full Review 20,000 Species of Bees (2023) 93% 4/5 “All told, 20,000 Species of Bees has been the recipient of over three dozen awards, including three Goyas, the Spanish equivalent of the Oscars, a testament to the sensitivity and skill Estibaliz Urresola Solaguren brought to this touching narrative.” – Video Librarian Magazine Apr 14, 2025 Full Review The Desperate Hours (1955) 88% 4/5 “Though Bogart, March, and Wyler had a string of hits behind them, the film proved more popular with critics than audiences, possibly because the leads were considered past their prime, though Wyler and March had plenty of gas left in the tank.” – Video Librarian Magazine Apr 14, 2025 Full Review The Friend (2024) 83% 3.5/4 “In the end, Iris finds a solution. I cried, and you might, too. This is a film that could easily get lost in the marketplace, but I hope it doesn't.” – Seattle Film Blog Mar 30, 2025 Full Review Hugo (2011) 93% 4/5 “Though it didn't exactly storm the box office, it's truly one of the finest family films ever made.” – Video Librarian Magazine Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Choose Me (1984) 95% 3.5/4 “Choose Me may be a small film relative to the go-big-or-go-home '80s, but all things considered: it's an impressive achievement.” – Seattle Film Blog Mar 24, 2025 Full Review Play It Cool (1970) 3.5/4 “I don't know if Japanese filmmaker Yasuzō Masumura ever saw Fellini's Nights of Cabiria–though he did study film in Italy in the 1950s–but without imitating the Italian master in any way, he proves just as empathetic to sex workers.” – Seattle Film Blog Mar 15, 2025 Full Review In the Rearview (2023) 100% 4/5 “There's nothing overtly political about this or any of the images in the film, but [Maciek] Hamela's stance is clear: these people don't deserve what happened to them. He was just one person doing what he could to help.” – Video Librarian Magazine Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Poetry (2010) 100% 4/5 “Poetry serves as an indictment of a society that sweeps sexual assault under the rug, the better to coddle the perpetrators at the expense of the victims, and to keep the cycle going in perpetuity. Lee wrote the central part for the radiant Yun Jeong-hie.” – Video Librarian Magazine Mar 7, 2025 Full Review The Trans List (2016) 3/4 “Everything is carefully lit and composed, but there's no camera movement, just cutaways to still images. This isn't a liability if the speakers are compelling, and they usually are. ” – Seattle Film Blog Mar 5, 2025 Full Review The Glass Castle (2017) 52% 2.5/4 “The actors, including Ella Anderson as the young Jeannette, give it their all, but they look awkward and uncomfortable, particularly [Brie] Larsen as a tightly-wound Manhattan gossip columnist” – Seattle Film Blog Mar 5, 2025 Full Review Endless (2020) 24% 2.5/4 “Every generation gets the Ghost they deserve, and Scott Speer's supernatural romance puts a YA spin on the benevolent specter trope.” – Seattle Film Blog Mar 5, 2025 Full Review The Rule of Jenny Pen (2024) 71% 3/4 “If anything, The Rule of Jenny Pen flirts with the kind of enjoyably silly menace of Richard Attenborough's 1978 ventriloquist dummy horror Magic whenever Dave and the doll go to town--singing, dancing, the whole bit. ” – Seattle Film Blog Mar 2, 2025 Full Review Anatahan (1953) 100% 4/4 “Josef von Sternberg's sympathies for a proud and sensuous woman make Keiko a worthy successor to the regal angels and empresses Marlene Dietrich once embodied for her favorite director. ” – Seattle Film Blog Feb 22, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 78% 3.5/4 “[Osgood Perkins] retains the bones of King's 42-page story, but changes the tone, condenses the number of characters, invests one of them–and not just the toy monkey itself–with malevolence, and amps everything up to 11. ” – Seattle Film Blog Feb 16, 2025 Full Review Dead Man's Switch (2024) 4/4 “At Cannes 2024, [Adriana] Paz shared the best actress award with the cast of Emilia Pérez, which is ironic, because Jacques Audiard's embattled musical, which was shot in France, also deals with the Missing Persons system, and it's the inferior effort.” – Seattle Film Blog Feb 9, 2025 Full Review Deathdream (1974) 79% 4/4 “[Richard] Backus, an Emmy-winning actor and writer, gets as much use out of his face, and he gives one of the best movie-monster performances I've ever seen. Critically, he never overplays his hand, and it's consistently unnerving. ” – Seattle Film Blog Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Grafted (2024) 77% 3/4 “None of this is as affecting or as humorous as I would have hoped, but the entire human (and animal) cast is up to the task, and I can't say I wasn't entertained--there's also a fun reveal during the end credits.” – Seattle Film Blog Jan 12, 2025 Full Review Warrior Women (2018) 3/4 “Warrior Women is an encouraging look at a necessary and enduring movement. ” – Seattle Film Blog Jan 3, 2025 Full Review The Moment (2016) 3/4 “Though the filmmakers don't provide any details about [Linda] Pence's background, it's clear this isn't just another job, but a case that could have significant repercussions for other women in similar predicaments.” – Seattle Film Blog Jan 3, 2025 Full Review Control - Love Will Tear Us Apart (2007) 88% 4/4 “An impressive debut from a filmmaker who knew the band, the geographic and cultural milieu, and most of all: the man at the center of the maelstrom.” – Seattle Film Blog Dec 29, 2024 Full Review I'm Not There (2007) 76% 3.5/4 “If I'm Not There is less affecting than Anton Corbijn's cool-headed, chronological Ian Curtis biopic Control, the year's other notable musician portrait, it rewards repeat viewing like few previous biographical features.” – Seattle Film Blog Dec 28, 2024 Full Review
