Tenet (2020) 70% “The scale of its spectacle suggests innovation; but Nolan's combination of the reverse motion with the cross cut, which he's dressed with trivial exposition, has all been done before.” – MUBI Sep 28, 2020 Full Review Alita: Battle Angel (2019) 61% “Like fireworks, Robert Rodriguez's Alita: Battle Angel, a long-gestating James Cameron production, is bracing, a multi-patterned eruption scattered across a broad sky.” – MUBI Mar 8, 2019 Full Review I Am Not a Witch (2017) 98% “Nyoni teases our assumptions of culpability. She paints portraits of implied mysticism with elegance and precision, slowing time and framing the girl as the center of the film's universe-not a witch, but a force to be reckoned with nevertheless.” – Film Comment Magazine Oct 30, 2018 Full Review Loro (2018) 79% “These orgiastic frenzies do not probe into perversion so much as eagerly plunge headfirst into a pool filled with naked girls and computer-animated MDMA tablets.” – MUBI Sep 20, 2018 Full Review The Quietude (2018) 64% “But the heartlessness of the film's spoiled sisters is not as despicable as it is pitiful, since it speaks to the callous constructions of Trapero himself.” – MUBI Sep 20, 2018 Full Review Mouthpiece (2018) 91% “MOUTHPIECE is belied by its generous interest in milquetoast interpersonal conflict over the internal turmoil of a woman constantly arguing with herself.” – MUBI Sep 20, 2018 Full Review Where Hands Touch (2018) 43% “"Slippery" is the word used in the festival synopsis, but I would rather use the term "haphazard," as it seems more fitting to describe the film's careless political compass.” – MUBI Sep 19, 2018 Full Review Shadow (2018) 94% “Like a painting of broad strokes and few defining details, Shadow is as impressionistic as it is theoretically concise.” – MUBI Sep 19, 2018 Full Review Our Body (2018) 100% “Our Body is a deceptively plain allegory of women's desire to become the best version of themselves-only in body, and not mind or soul.” – MUBI Sep 19, 2018 Full Review High Life (2018) 83% “The multiplicity of High Life is the fruit of her thoughtfulness, even though it progresses so swiftly, as if weightless.” – MUBI Sep 19, 2018 Full Review If Beale Street Could Talk (2018) 95% “Even while withholding violence, Jenkins has constructed an atmosphere of palpable, visceral danger that hovers.” – MUBI Sep 19, 2018 Full Review A Star Is Born (2018) 90% “An uneven work of startling sincerity and disarming beauty.” – MUBI Sep 19, 2018 Full Review Heartbound (2018) 75% “Even when filtered through this abstraction, the film cannot erase an imbalance of power: of Heartbound's ensemble, those most affected by lovesickness are elderly white men; the women are instead homesick.” – Cinema Scope Sep 11, 2018 Full Review Stupid Young Heart (Hölmö nuori sydän) (2018) “Stupid Young Heart sacrifices critical distance for pure subjectivity.” – Cinema Scope Sep 10, 2018 Full Review Float Like a Butterfly (2018) 88% “Filmed with a drifting handheld camera, Float Like a Butterfly softens the reality that, for many women, family itself is a prison.” – Cinema Scope Sep 8, 2018 Full Review Too Late to Die Young (2018) 96% “There is an impenetrable beauty, a troublesome purity to this world-within-a-world: even dirty blankets on the floor glow exquisitely beneath soft sunlight.” – Cinema Scope Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Crazy Rich Asians (2018) 91% “Jon M. Chu's landmark film glosses over questions of wealth and cultural identity for sake of spectacle.” – MUBI Aug 22, 2018 Full Review A Quiet Place (2018) 96% “Krasinski's regressive inclinations in such an ostensibly forward-thinking film are puzzling when held against the works of the genre's masters, including Krasinski's contemporaries.” – Reverse Shot Apr 13, 2018 Full Review A Wrinkle in Time (2018) 43% “A Wrinkle in Time is something even more unfortunate: though stuffed with money and flair, the film is nearly immaterial.” – Reverse Shot Mar 15, 2018 Full Review Okja (2017) 87% “Meanwhile, we as an audience are left with the flat, stinging sensation of hitting a wall. But if any feeling could so aptly reflect love in the time of capitalism, then it is this: to willingly hit a wall until an eventual point of demolition.” – MUBI Dec 19, 2017 Full Review The Handmaiden (2016) 96% “[Park's] position as a filmmaker operating beyond and actively against popular conventions enables him to work without an obligation to anyone but Sook-hee and Hideko, to whom the story truly belongs.” – Reverse Shot Oct 20, 2016 Full Review
