Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (1964) 93% “A strong candidate for one of the greatest films of all time.” – Stop Smiling Feb 28, 2022 Full Review The Call of the Wild (2020) 63% 3/4 “The film's avoidance of cruel Gold Rush realities is more than made up for by its spirited kineticism and by its deepening of the man-dog bond that forms the heart of London's story.” – Slant Magazine Feb 17, 2020 Full Review Underwater (2020) 48% 1.5/4 “The film is neither a too-big-to-fail event film nor a relatively low-budget genre sleeper.” – Slant Magazine Jan 8, 2020 Full Review The Song of Names (2019) 39% 2/4 “In the end, the film is unable to bridge the gap between the emotions it elicits and the messages it imparts.” – Slant Magazine Dec 20, 2019 Full Review Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) 51% 1.5/4 “The film struggles to both honor and redeem the past before everything comes to a close.” – Slant Magazine Dec 18, 2019 Full Review Little Women (2019) 95% 2.5/4 “Whenever Little Women slows down, viewers receive a glimpse of how the film might have flowed as a whole.” – Slant Magazine Nov 25, 2019 Full Review Dark Waters (2019) 89% 2.5/4 “Haynes's film intermittently hits upon a few original ways of representing its ripped-from-the-headlines mandate.” – Slant Magazine Nov 14, 2019 Full Review Charlie's Angels (2019) 52% 1.5/4 “All the feminist virtue-signaling in the world can't conceal the film's creative conservatism.” – Slant Magazine Nov 12, 2019 Full Review Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) 70% 2/4 “The film is good enough to redeem the bad taste that lingered from its predecessors but too uninspired to make one want more.” – Slant Magazine Oct 23, 2019 Full Review Downtown 81 (2000) 79% 3/4 “This time capsule of bohemian New York distorts its representation of the city for reasons more loving than lazy.” – Slant Magazine Oct 21, 2019 Full Review The Big Sick (2017) 98% “Unfortunately The Big Sick remains fairly standard due to its avoidance of difficult material.” – Reverse Shot Oct 12, 2017 Full Review Be Kind Rewind (2008) 64% “Be Kind Rewind, while erring just this side of too adorable for its own good - it's nothing if not enjoyable for once again showcasing Gondry's ingenious guerilla filmmaking tactics - is still a bit of a setback.” – Stop Smiling Aug 24, 2017 Full Review Blade Runner: The Final Cut (1982) 94% “The final cut seems to simply be an enhanced version of the 1992 director's cut, a technically perfected (Dolby remastered, special effects streamlined) fulfillment of the project Ridley oversaw but admits to rushing.” – Stop Smiling Aug 24, 2017 Full Review Sunshine (2007) 76% “[Sunshine] delivers the visually incarnate truth of the universe's mysticism.” – Stop Smiling Aug 24, 2017 Full Review The Boss of It All (2006) 74% “If The Boss of It All is forgettable, it's not for its airiness, but for its failed artiness, and for von Trier's failure to be true to his art.” – Stop Smiling Aug 24, 2017 Full Review Funny Games (2007) 53% “Defenders of Funny Games repeatedly point out that it shouldn't be fun. But if it isn't, then it should at least be subversive.” – Stop Smiling Aug 24, 2017 Full Review Shine a Light (2008) 85% “In many ways [Shine a Light is] an unintentional funeral dance commemorating the vanished vitality and subversive potential of mainstream rock 'n' roll and celebrating its current utility as a nostalgic anodyne.” – Stop Smiling Aug 24, 2017 Full Review Dawson City: Frozen Time (2016) 100% “Working in documentary mode, Morrison occasionally reaches for cinematic poetry with Frozen Time, but the results are as dry as his ostensibly more lyrical work.” – Reverse Shot Jun 9, 2017 Full Review Song to Song (2017) 43% “The greatest artistic provocation of all is that of surprising, strange, and innovative art that dares the ridiculous in the pursuit of beauty.” – Brooklyn Magazine Mar 17, 2017 Full Review The Last Laugh (2016) 98% “Ultimately, what I came away with from The Last Laugh is that Holocaust humor, or any humor centered on mass death and suffering, is rarely successful.” – Brooklyn Magazine Mar 3, 2017 Full Review The Son of Joseph (2016) 93% “There's a lightness to Green's touch, and a gentle beauty to many of his images, that redeems its flaws and even courts the sublime.” – Brooklyn Magazine Jan 17, 2017 Full Review Land of Mine (2015) 92% “Yet such lack of character development wouldn't be so significant if it didn't converge with the sidestepping of larger issues.” – Film Comment Magazine Jan 3, 2017 Full Review I, Daniel Blake (2016) 92% “Once I, Daniel Blake got underway I found it difficult to pretend that I didn't know exactly where it was headed, even as I choked back tears.” – Brooklyn Magazine Dec 18, 2016 Full Review Videophilia (and Other Viral Syndromes) (2015) 56% “Enjoy Videofilia however you can.” – Brooklyn Magazine Dec 2, 2016 Full Review The Eyes of My Mother (2016) 78% “Put aside the photography and Eyes of My Mother is little more than the caboose on the torture-porn train, with Psycho-esque Freudian pretensions.” – Brooklyn Magazine Dec 2, 2016 Full Review
