Creede U.S.A. (2025) B “Creede U.S.A. is best enjoyed as a reminder of the various things that we’re liable to forget as this country tears itself apart at the seams, most of all the fact that civility still exist in America, there’s no big secret to accomplishing it. ” – IndieWire Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Cutting Through Rocks (2025) 100% B “A deftly shaped work of cinematic nonfiction.” – IndieWire Jan 29, 2025 Full Review My Undesirable Friends: Part I - Last Air in Moscow (2024) A- “While five-plus hours of mostly hanging out in strangers’ apartments might seem like an increasingly tedious invitation, Loktev ends up justifying the running time as her “undesirable friends” soon become ours as well.” – IndieWire Oct 2, 2024 Full Review Viktor (2024) A “What makes the film so extraordinary is that the ongoing invasion is not the focus but merely backdrop for a window into a truly unique POV on the Russian assault.” – IndieWire Sep 10, 2024 Full Review A Sisters' Tale (2024) B+ “A Sisters’ Tale is as timeless and universal as it is specific.” – IndieWire Sep 10, 2024 Full Review TWST - Things We Said Today (2024) A “By using O’Brien’s contemporary journals, Ujica is able to craft a compelling, true-to-life fictional narrative of the lead-up to that legendary night in Queens.” – IndieWire Sep 5, 2024 Full Review Adrianne & the Castle (2024) 64% A- “Adrianne & the Castle is not just about an eccentric couple who unapologetically pursued their grandiose dreams to the fullest, but also about the profound grief those pursuits left behind in their wake. ” – IndieWire Mar 12, 2024 Full Review Will & Harper (2024) 99% B- “While Will & Harper has moments both poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, Greenbaum's filmmaking is often far too reticent, as he tends to play things "straight" and take pains not to offend. ” – IndieWire Jan 23, 2024 Full Review Gaucho Gaucho (2024) 95% B “Gaucho Gaucho is exquisitely crafted, with sumptuous black-and-white cinematography, camera angles framed askew, and eye-catching slo-mo sequences. Not to mention an operatic -- at times literally -- score.” – IndieWire Jan 20, 2024 Full Review A Still Small Voice (2023) 92% “While on its surface "A Still Small Voice" follows selfless caregivers drawn to a higher cause, dig a tad deeper and that stubborn White savior complex begins to bubble up. ” – Hyperallergic Jun 26, 2023 Full Review Last Flight Home (2022) 98% “"Last Flight Home" is a warts-and-all account of assisted death best viewed by the terminally ill and their loved ones. ” – Hyperallergic Mar 27, 2023 Full Review Be Like Others (2008) 100% 4/5 “It's rare when a documentary comes along that truly shines a light on a virtually unexplored issue, and Iranian-American director Tanaz Eshaghian's Be Like Others is gripping drama because it does exactly that.” – Slant Magazine May 18, 2020 Full Review Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll (2010) 72% “A cringe-worthy script chock-full of clichés.” – Slant Magazine Apr 28, 2020 Full Review Suited (2016) 100% “Suited is an eye-opening journey into the niche subject of dressing for success when you're a gender nonconforming individual.” – The Rumpus Sep 18, 2017 Full Review The Wrong Light (2016) 80% “The Wrong Light is disturbing on several levels.” – The Rumpus Sep 18, 2017 Full Review The Green Wave (2011) 91% 2/4 “Unlike Waltz with Bashir, it only seems to be using animation in an effort to make blog diaries by twentysomethings appear cinematic.” – Slant Magazine Aug 7, 2012 Full Review Khodorkovsky (2011) 90% “By the time the director delves into the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko, the doc's gone off the subject and off the rails.” – Slant Magazine Nov 28, 2011 Full Review Barbershop Punk (2010) 67% 1.5/4 “An impotent exploration of the fight to take the Internet out of the hands of the Man.” – Slant Magazine Nov 9, 2011 Full Review Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone (2010) 100% 2.5/4 “Like their subjects, the directors themselves have attempted an all-over-the-place style--and surprisingly succeeded.” – Slant Magazine Oct 2, 2011 Full Review Hell and Back Again (2011) 100% 2.5/4 “Danfung Dennis's documentary isn't content to merely capture warriors in combat.” – Slant Magazine Oct 2, 2011 Full Review The Mill and the Cross (2011) 77% 3/4 “Lech Majewski succeeds so well in saturating his images with meaning that when the barebones dialogue is heard it seems frustratingly stale and superfluous.” – Slant Magazine Sep 11, 2011 Full Review Where Soldiers Come From (2011) 81% 2/4 “It's not Heather Courtney's fault that PBS dishes out comfort food for the liberal elite.” – Slant Magazine Sep 4, 2011 Full Review The Interrupters (2011) 99% 3.5/4 “A tour de force of editing that's similar in novelistic scale to Steve James's high school basketball epic Hoop Dreams.” – Slant Magazine Jul 24, 2011 Full Review If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front (2011) 88% 2.5/4 “The doc manages to drive home the notion that, however much one might disagree with ELF's tactics, their point of view holds a lot of truth.” – Slant Magazine Jun 18, 2011 Full Review Sotalapset (War Children) (2003) “Manages to shed light on the psychological consequences of being ripped from one's biological family while being denied the opportunity for closure.” – House Next Door Jun 7, 2011 Full Review
