Showing Up (2022) 89% “Shades of Portlandia infuse the world of Showing Up, which is not just Reichardt’s funniest film but also game in a way that rescues its players from caricature, risking silliness to propose the serious imperatives of any dedicated pursuit.” – 4Columns Apr 14, 2023 Full Review Aftersun (2022) 95% “In a mood-forward film, the prevailing sense is one of girlhood taking its last untroubled breath. Among other things this means agreeing, for a little longer, to overlook all the things about your dad he would prefer that you not see.” – 4Columns Oct 21, 2022 Full Review Petite Maman (2021) 97% “The film builds a riddle into its fable of grieving, loss, and return: If a mother and daughter could meet at the same age, how would they relate? The magic is the ease with which it depicts their convergence, its solace a feat of willing imagination.” – 4Columns Apr 22, 2022 Full Review The Worst Person in the World (2021) 96% “That Reinsve must make Julies blurriness particular is a task impeded by Triers tendency toward the broadJulies mess is strictly meta, a matter of poor existential hygieneand never less than pleasing to the eye.” – 4Columns Feb 4, 2022 Full Review A Tale of Springtime (1989) 88% “The film's aesthetic is one of private interiors, the spaces that serve as vessels for our lives, if not for time itself...Rohmer extracts from what amounts to chronic human dithering a story of transience and possibility.” – 4Columns Apr 2, 2021 Full Review Liar's Dice (2014) 67% 2.5/5 “Both Thapa and Siddiqui glower very well, I believed every dark flicker, but the tension between their characters barely moves past its original, obvious form.” – sbs.com.au Mar 19, 2021 Full Review Honeyland (2019) 100% “Merging a vérité ethos with hyperpolished execution, the intimacy of the filmmakers' access and a painterly, chiaroscuro aesthetic invite a particular type of wonder.” – Virginia Quarterly Review Dec 4, 2020 Full Review Smooth Talk (1985) 94% “With its unlikely note of resolution, the coda in particular belies the adaptation's larger insistence on nuance, ambiguity, what even a young girl knows, without knowing, to be irresolvable.” – 4Columns Nov 6, 2020 Full Review Cabaret (1972) 91% “I was an instant convert to Fosse's Cabaret: it was and is nothing but the movie for me. It concentrates Fosse's interest in stories about style-its power to define and transform, to dominate and subdue.” – 4Columns Sep 18, 2020 Full Review Little Women (2019) 95% “Vital, bodied performances further the sense of characters who will exercise their will not on the hidden hills to which "independent" women are typically consigned but in the world, who will pass into womanhood not just still living but alive.” – 4Columns Jan 13, 2020 Full Review What Is Democracy? (2018) 96% “One could imagine the place of Taylor's film in the classroom, though one would first have to imagine the kind of classroom this country appears bent on destroying.” – Virginia Quarterly Review Aug 29, 2019 Full Review Gloria Bell (2018) 90% “For "Gloria" fans, "Gloria Bell" is a confounding watch, a bit like that dream where your dad is your dad but also Brad Pitt.” – 4Columns Mar 8, 2019 Full Review The Tale (2018) 99% “The framing of what happened to Jenny is flexible, expansive, interested in complication; the perspective is enigmatic, deeply personal, at once singular and manifold, insular and diffuse.” – Virginia Quarterly Review Dec 7, 2018 Full Review Voyeur (2017) 79% “Voyeur makes apt use of a storytelling device more commonly associated with fiction: the unreliable narrator.” – Virginia Quarterly Review Aug 28, 2018 Full Review Risk (2016) 80% “Poitras lacked either the nerve or the time to make of herself a truly unreliable narrator, and so a film with the potential for two unreliable narrators falters for having none.” – Virginia Quarterly Review Aug 21, 2018 Full Review Tully (2018) 87% “Despite Theron's bold, aching performance, Marlo remains an avatar of some more general experience. The richness of her ambivalence and the humanity of her predicament are just apparent enough to frustrate the vast appetite for their fuller expression.” – 4Columns May 4, 2018 Full Review A Wrinkle in Time (2018) 43% “A movie well-positioned to blow the culture's inspire-o-meter right off its mooring.” – 4Columns Mar 27, 2018 Full Review I Love You, Daddy (2017) 37% “A lazy work, quickly made, ugly to sit through, and baffling, at best, to consider.” – 4Columns Nov 10, 2017 Full Review Cosmopolis (2012) 67% “... Cronenberg's Cosmopolis expresses something new and necessary about the book, which is to say about limits, the gaps in what can be known, both within and between us.” – Capital New York Sep 11, 2017 Full Review Zero Dark Thirty (2012) 91% “... even good stories don't tell themselves, especially not if they aim to be great.” – Capital New York Sep 11, 2017 Full Review Take This Waltz (2011) 79% “Polley is a detail-oriented director who can get a little lost dazzling us with the little things.” – Capital New York Sep 11, 2017 Full Review Ruby Sparks (2012) 79% “It doesn't not work-there's too much genuinely great stuff going on.” – Capital New York Sep 11, 2017 Full Review Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel (2011) 95% “The limits placed on Immordino Vreeland by a presumed family obligation and her subject's superstructure persona create a fascinating narrative tension in an otherwise admirably executed but boilerplate personality piece.” – Capital New York Sep 11, 2017 Full Review Django Unchained (2012) 87% “Where other movie histories might seek to teach, rewrite, or gild the stories of our collective past, Tarantino prefers to demonstrate how the movies can help us detonate history's legacies...” – Capital New York Sep 11, 2017 Full Review 56 Up (2012) 98% “Here as always [Director Michael] Apted jumps between his subjects' variously aged selves with hypnotic, occasionally ruthless dexterity, mapping new narrative sequences and creating damning or salubrious conversations.” – Capital New York Sep 11, 2017 Full Review
