C.H.U.D. II (1989) “It's a dumb zombie comedy with a gaggle of third rate celebrity cameos.” – Buffalo News May 10, 2025 Full Review Hard-Boiled (1992) 92% “Pyrotechnic excesses aside, Hard-Boiled is pretty astounding, what with the peanut-butter-should-be-so-smooth Chow Yun-Fat, acrobatic stunt work and preposterous gunplay. ” – Buffalo News Jul 27, 2023 Full Review The Take Out Move (2022) 2.5/4 “It’s all very Seinfeld-esque, or like those scenes in Quentin Tarantino movies filled with chatter that has nothing to do with the story. The small cast is certainly committed to the project, which is essential to this kind of humor. ” – The Public (Buffalo) Nov 23, 2022 Full Review The Valet (2022) 76% 2/4 “It’s all as predictable as a bowl of macaroni and cheese, and at over two hours – well, how much macaroni and cheese do you think you can eat?” – The Public (Buffalo) Sep 15, 2022 Full Review Take the Night (2022) 81% “The debut feature of writer-director Seth McTigue is a vividly photographed, intensely scored and sincerely acted caper drama with one problem: it doesn’t make a lot of sense.” – The Public (Buffalo) Aug 19, 2022 Full Review By Night's End (2020) 100% 3/4 “Recalling classic home-based thrillers like Wait Until Dark and Shallow Grave, By Night’s End is the kind of low-budget indie that tends to get lost in the crush of movies looking for an audience in the post-theatrical landscape. ” – The Public (Buffalo) Jul 14, 2022 Full Review A Field in England (2013) 86% B “Touchstones include Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Wicker Man, and Peter Watkins Culloden. The small cast comes from British comedy, which is so much more wide-ranging and serious than American comedy that it's - well, its not even funny. ” – ArtVoice Apr 12, 2022 Full Review Ghost Light (2021) “In the end, its a bit of a disappointment that Ghost Light doesnt wholly deliver on its promise... Still, the story is pleasingly unpredictable and the players never less than fun to watch.” – The Public (Buffalo) Apr 8, 2022 Full Review Vietnam: Fast Forward (2021) 83% 2/5 “Well intended but unsatisfying look at Vietnam's thriving modern economy as seen through the eyes of a variety of entrepreneurs.” – The Public (Buffalo) Dec 14, 2021 Full Review Greed (2019) 50% 6/10 “An "eat the rich" comedy and a docudrama about the fast fashion industry is a lot to cram into one movie, and you can't help but feel that Michael Winterbottom might have found a better vehicle to express his anger (but give it credit for trying).” – The Public (Buffalo) Mar 13, 2020 Full Review The Island of Cats (2019) 100% 6/10 “If you're a viewer who needs dramatic resolution, you're not going to get much from this gentle story. It's as contemplative as an Ozu movie, albeit one which takes regular breaks to watch cats doing whatever it is they do with their time.” – The Public (Buffalo) Mar 3, 2020 Full Review Buffaloed (2019) 80% 8/10 “It's a blue collar movie that isn't going to make anyone want to move here, but I'm fine with that: take us as we are or leave us alone.” – The Public (Buffalo) Feb 14, 2020 Full Review The Aeronauts (2019) 71% “There is visual panache that made me feel at all times as if I was in this gas-powered balloon floating miles above the ground.” – The Public (Buffalo) Dec 12, 2019 Full Review The Irishman (2019) 95% “Veracity aside, The Irishman is Scorsese at the peak of his powers. It's not a minute too long at three hours and 20 minutes...” – The Public (Buffalo) Nov 26, 2019 Full Review The Current War: Director's Cut (2019) 61% “The acting and the cinematic panache are enough to repay your ticket cost, but I was left thinking I would have learned more from a good New Yorker article on the same topic.” – The Public (Buffalo) Nov 1, 2019 Full Review Official Secrets (2019) 82% “Even though the story ends somewhat anticlimactically, it maintains a slow burn of outrage right to the very end.” – The Public (Buffalo) Sep 19, 2019 Full Review Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles (2019) 98% “A Miracle of Miracles examines both the development of the much loved "dark musical" and its enduring popularity for audiences all around the world.” – The Public (Buffalo) Sep 17, 2019 Full Review Piranhas (2019) 58% “Piranhas plays more like a teen drama in which organized crime is a backdrop. Director Claudio Giovannesi uses a fluid camera to track this mini-gang, holding us to their perspective.” – The Public (Buffalo) Sep 17, 2019 Full Review After the Wedding (2019) 45% “It would have gone down better, had the film been honest about what it was up to right from the beginning rather than trying to hide its intentions behind a veneer of social responsibility.” – The Public (Buffalo) Sep 6, 2019 Full Review The Nightingale (2018) 87% “The Nightingale treated me like a moral cretin who could only learn through the harshest distillation of human misery. I have better ways to spend my time.” – The Public (Buffalo) Sep 5, 2019 Full Review Dogman (2018) 84% “Garrone originally wanted Roberto Benigni for this role, for his ability to combine humor with pathos; the unschooled Fonte is able to provide those same qualities without the hysterical mugging Benigni often slips into.” – The Public (Buffalo) Aug 16, 2019 Full Review Tel Aviv on Fire (2018) 89% “It's not big on belly laughs, but its genial illustration of the belief that all of these people are more similar than they are different makes it a most pleasant way to spend 100 minutes.” – The Public (Buffalo) Aug 16, 2019 Full Review The Farewell (2019) 97% “Wang does solid work in providing a range of characters to embody different aspects of the emigrant experience, and looks at the differences between those who left and those who stayed behind in unexpected ways.” – The Public (Buffalo) Aug 8, 2019 Full Review Be Natural: The Untold Story of Alice Guy-Blaché (2018) 96% “Hopefully the flashy result will encourage at least some young cineastes to look at more of Guy-Blaché's work.” – The Public (Buffalo) Jul 26, 2019 Full Review Echo in the Canyon (2018) 89% “As infectiously fun as it is to watch musicians talking about music they love by other bands, you can't help but wish that they would explore that love in a little more depth.” – The Public (Buffalo) Jul 12, 2019 Full Review
