Living (2022) 96% “What separates something like Living from the countless hokey “feel-good” films about men in their twilight years learning to love life again is not just its period setting and remarkable lead performance, but a more complicated structure.” – Nashville Scene Feb 21, 2023 Full Review Decision to Leave (2022) 94% “The context and setting of Decision to Leave are South Korean, with strands of the nation’s history woven in, and there might be familiar notes of Hollywood influence in the visual style — but the outcome is distinctly Park Chan-wook.” – Nashville Scene Oct 28, 2022 Full Review Office Killer (1997) 21% “Carol Kane’s performance deserves praise in particular for pushing the camp icon to her most unhinged.” – them. Oct 27, 2022 Full Review Nadja (1994) 64% “An underseen gem of New York independent cinema, Michael Almereyda’s Nadja fully brings the lesbian vampire film into the 1990s, coating its seedy exploitation heart with an arthouse finish.” – them. Oct 27, 2022 Full Review The Fly (1986) 93% ““Romance” isn’t alway the first word that comes to mind when describing David Cronenberg’s nasty body horror nightmares, but The Fly is nothing if not a deeply loving film.” – them. Oct 27, 2022 Full Review Fright Night (1985) 83% “During the 1980s, as the violence and sexuality in mainstream horror movies became more overt and extreme, so too did the queer subtext.” – them. Oct 27, 2022 Full Review Daughters of Darkness (1971) 83% “Daughters of Darkness has a level of elegance and eroticism that makes it stand on its own.” – them. Oct 27, 2022 Full Review Vampyros Lesbos (1970) 56% “While it’s hard to dispute Vampyros Lesbos as an object produced primarily for the titillation of the male gaze, there’s something thrilling about reclaiming a film so terrified and almost worshipful of the carnal power that queer women possess.” – them. Oct 27, 2022 Full Review Carnival of Souls (1962) 87% “More than just a paranormal haunting, it is conformity itself that drives Mary to madness.” – them. Oct 27, 2022 Full Review Rope (1948) 93% “Though not quite a horror film, Rope is the kind of murder mystery that would pave the way for more explicit psychologically-motivated thrillers, as well as being a technical landmark in its use of Technicolor and extended takes.” – them. Oct 26, 2022 Full Review The Uninvited (1944) 95% “The subtext is louder than ghosts banging at the door, and what’s really haunting Pamela is the truth of an identity she’s too terrified to accept...” – them. Oct 26, 2022 Full Review The Old Dark House (1932) 97% “The Old Dark House is much more explicit than horror films in the years to follow, dripping with provocations and innuendos, with a daring sensibility befitting a director whose own personal life flew in the face of convention.” – them. Oct 26, 2022 Full Review Hellraiser (2022) 67% “Director David Bruckner and writers Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski haven’t just revived Hellraiser, they’ve injected it with new life, offering an interpretation that’s both distinctly 21st-century and more in touch with Barker’s source material.” – them. Oct 7, 2022 Full Review INU-OH (2021) 91% “A film like Inu-oh is at its best when it leaves words and stories behind and treats the animated image as something almost like music, a fully flowing medium for expression that changes like the air.” – Nashville Scene Aug 11, 2022 Full Review Resurrection (2022) 82% “The confidence she displays in her career, joined with the emotional intensity of her acting, makes Hall uniquely suited to the new film Resurrection, a work that requires both incredible strength and intense vulnerability.” – Nashville Scene Aug 8, 2022 Full Review You Won't Be Alone (2022) 93% “You Won't Be Alone does not offer much more to our understanding of gendered violence that hasn't already been said before, aside from supplying us with more images of gendered violence.” – Nashville Scene Apr 5, 2022 Full Review After Yang (2021) 89% “After Yang feels like a closed circuit perhaps even like a perfectly designed robot, with no room for accident or mess. ” – Nashville Scene Mar 3, 2022 Full Review Strawberry Mansion (2021) 87% “Its a warmly bizarre trip down a rabbit hole of Technicolor visions, freakish imaginations and unexpected sentimentality and its all accompanied by an appropriately trippy, noodling soundtrack from electronic musician Dan Deacon.” – Nashville Scene Feb 22, 2022 Full Review Parallel Mothers (2021) 96% “Penélope Cruz and Milena Smit play two new mothers from very different backgrounds in the Spanish director's latest study in female interiority.” – Hyperallergic Jan 22, 2022 Full Review Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy (2021) 99% “Hamaguchi's films similarly remind me that there are endless perspectives to observe from, infinite ways to reframe or interpret a memory, and still undiscovered depths of the human heart to sink into.” – Nashville Scene Dec 10, 2021 Full Review Benedetta (2021) 84% “In fact, you might say that Benedetta is a film made through Old Testament eyes: All flesh is fallen, all the world is filth, and the only way out is fiery suffering.” – Nashville Scene Dec 4, 2021 Full Review El Planeta (2021) 95% “Though El Planeta's short runtime, quiet demeanor and detailed costuming might feel relaxed and unassuming, there's a profound sense of sadness at the film's core.” – Nashville Scene Oct 9, 2021 Full Review Heartworn Highways (1976) 100% “An essential artifact and document of that scene and sound is filmmaker James Szalapski's long-inaccessible documentary Heartworn Highways, a film with as much of a devoted cult as the music itself.” – Nashville Scene Sep 9, 2021 Full Review F.T.A. (1972) 83% “F.T.A. is most powerful when it pulls out to look at the empire the United States has carved out in the Pacific Rim.” – Nashville Scene Sep 9, 2021 Full Review The Fever (2019) 91% “It's esoteric and elusive, but still tethered to a kind of cinematic ethnography; sometimes it's direct, sometimes it's far away, a contrast that can just lead to frustration.” – Nashville Scene Sep 9, 2021 Full Review
