The Trial (2023) “Somber as these proceedings are, what’s most distinctive about the film’s distillation of the trial is its perhaps inevitable element of theater.” – Artforum Jan 26, 2024 Full Review Beau Is Afraid (2023) 68% “Even Beau Is Afraid’s character portraits—usually a strength in Aster’s work—seem, despite the tumescent running time, strangely underdeveloped, even caricatural...it’s a surprisingly uninspired effort.” – 4Columns Apr 21, 2023 Full Review Riotsville, USA (2022) 91% “This fantasy -- one of prevention, perfectibility, and preparedness -- is Riotsville’s true theme, and its principal irony resides in the way the documentary’s own mechanics are entangled with its construction.” – Artforum Sep 15, 2022 Full Review Ahed's Knee (2021) 74% “It conveys the simplistic sense that the largest issues of the dayof institutionalized violence, oppression, and social stratificationare mere personal pathologies. Isnt the point not to free your mind, but to free Palestine?” – 4Columns Mar 25, 2022 Full Review All Light, Everywhere (2021) 94% “The subject matter at hand demands a degree of toughness that All Light, Everywhere shies away from in favor of a more fluid rumination that doesn't quite land on a point.” – 4Columns Jun 4, 2021 Full Review Just Don't Think I'll Scream (2019) 94% “Just Don't Think plays a game of its own, then, candidly revealing one moment and slyly obscuring the next.” – Reverse Shot Feb 18, 2021 Full Review “The film functions much like their analytical camera -- allowing us to bring the past closer to us, to examine it in detail, to reach out and touch it.” – Hyperallergic Feb 22, 2020 Full Review Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack! (2001) 65% “The monster battles... are among the best in the entire series.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You May 21, 2019 Full Review Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla (1994) 57% “While there is an overall lack of excitement... the film nonetheless delivers on anonymous citizens fleeing in terror, roaring beasts blasting and beating the hell out of each other, and iconic landmarks and urban infrastructure being utterly devastated.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You May 21, 2019 Full Review Terror of Mechagodzilla (1975) 43% “While Terror of Mechagodzilla is not exactly a good film, it at least veers into slightly darker territory than some of the later Showa efforts.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You May 13, 2019 Full Review Son of Godzilla (1967) 63% “This showdown, a father-and-son team up held amid a blizzard orchestrated in a last ditch effort by the experimental meteorologists, is the film's true highlight, a curious denouement to an already odd film.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You May 13, 2019 Full Review Invasion of Astro-Monster (1965) 50% “Invasion has many pleasures, not least of which is its resemblance to Honda's earlier, more purely sci-fi ventures... But perhaps its most remarkable feature is its subtle, but noticeable steps in rehabilitating Godzilla's character.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You May 11, 2019 Full Review Transit (2018) 94% “The shape of Transit becomes close to that of a double helix, in which the convoluted managerial processes of immigration become intertwined in the recursive patterns of desire.” – 4Columns Feb 22, 2019 Full Review Los Reyes (2018) 100% “The documentary is more substantial (and dialectical) than a Facebook dog-spotting video. But it dabbles in the same paradoxes of humanity's peculiar relationship with animals that most animal media share.” – Reverse Shot Feb 15, 2019 Full Review Eyes Wide Shut (1999) 76% “This is, one might argue, what the audience has paid to see and what they've always wanted to see: the then-most famous couple in the world, at home in both the literal and figurative sense, unguarded and au naturel.” – Not Coming to a Theater Near You Oct 27, 2018 Full Review Burning (2018) 95% “It's a pity that a work so precisely constructed as Burning too often devolves into yet another male-insecurity movie...dwelling intently on male pathology at the level of character psychology and signposting its connections to the problems of the day.” – 4Columns Oct 26, 2018 Full Review In the Jungle (2018) “Barber's overabundance of language and logos - her insistence on the artificiality and constructedness of the Scientist's natural environs - positions the jungle as a space of subconscious play rather than a lost paradise.” – Village Voice Feb 20, 2018 Full Review Bitter Money (2016) 89% “We are not, as in so many a contemporary documentary, made to merely identify with the position of cameraperson, but are forced to consider and find our own ethical and political positions.” – Village Voice Jan 16, 2018 Full Review Letters to Max (2014) 86% “In Letters to Max, the cinema itself serves as a time machine: a vehicle for nostalgia, for reconstructing the past(s) and places lost, but also for accessing a time and place that have not yet arrived.” – Cinema Scope Nov 10, 2017 Full Review The Sky Trembles and the Earth Is Afraid and the Two Eyes Are Not Brothers (2015) 63% “Rivers' latest work is a sprawling set of projects whose variety, size, and complexity matches the verbosity of its title.” – Cinema Scope Nov 10, 2017 Full Review The Human Surge (2016) 58% “In Williams' film, this pulse of energy is everywhere, running through and between all of the subjects: human, animal, material, ambient, and machinic.” – Cinema Scope Nov 10, 2017 Full Review The Death of Louis XIV (2016) 88% “The film's brief moments of drama and all of its morbid fascination rely on our willingness to observe, in detail, the slow decay of a treasured body.” – Reverse Shot Oct 14, 2016 Full Review Horse Money (2014) 83% “All plot synopses are necessarily attenuations, but for Horse Money any summary feels especially futile, or even violent, a crude reduction of its complex network of impossible geographies, fuzzy memories, and jumbled chronologies.” – Reverse Shot Dec 7, 2015 Full Review Nobody's Daughter Haewon (2013) 95% “Fleeting though it may be, there is nonetheless a feeling of having completed the routines the film has set out and, perhaps, achieved a sort of understanding.” – Reverse Shot Dec 7, 2015 Full Review Jauja (2014) 88% “With Jauja Alonso follows the ever-widening orbit his films have been tracing even further, nudging his trademark concerns... of his earlier work into something considerably more expansive, playful, even supernatural.” – Reverse Shot Dec 7, 2015 Full Review
