L'amour fou (2010) “Directed with rigorous tact, L'Amour fou is unconcerned with speaking through any historical framework. It is devoted, rather, to the calm, thoughtful, and ultimately elusive reflections of M. Berg on the dismantling of a legacy.” – Film Comment Magazine Feb 2, 2024 Full Review The Last House on the Left (2009) 42% “Director Dennis Iliadis polishes up Craven's template to a lethal shine.” – NPR Apr 24, 2020 Full Review The Nightingale (2018) 87% “Writer/director Jennifer Kent is a genuine filmmaker of ideas, but The Nightingale is clipped by problems of form. There's something cheap in the way its acts of brutality bid for our attention.” – Film Comment Magazine Aug 5, 2019 Full Review Wet Hot American Summer (2001) 39% “Structured only by its time frame (the last day of camp) and total commitment to casualness, the movie feels tossed off in the most appealing way,” – Village Voice Mar 31, 2019 Full Review Milk (2008) 93% “Milk is fortuitously, if inevitably, a movie of its moment.” – Film Comment Magazine Mar 20, 2018 Full Review Tetro (2009) 71% “Watching Tetro, Coppola's first original screenplay in some 30 years, is like eavesdropping on someone's dream.” – Film Comment Magazine Mar 19, 2018 Full Review The Assignment (2016) 33% “The Assignment is not so nave as to presume that "moral and political considerations" are irrelevant to its effect, but once you wrap your head around the premise the effect is more or less played out.” – Film Comment Magazine Mar 7, 2017 Full Review The September Issue (2009) 83% “The September Issue is a misshapen, mix-and-match affair, an ill-fitting ensemble of individually compelling pieces.” – Film Comment Magazine Oct 20, 2014 Full Review Julia (2008) 72% “Complications pile up, confrontations are manufactured, and numerous Mexican baddies materialize as the runtime needlessly heads past the two-hour mark.” – Film Comment Magazine Oct 20, 2014 Full Review The Woman in the Window (1944) 83% “A clockwork noir of diabolical determinism.” – Village Voice Oct 15, 2014 Full Review Maps to the Stars (2014) 62% “A "map to the stars" can be two different things: a tacky accessory of celebrity culture, or a diagram of cosmic energy.” – Film Comment Magazine Sep 15, 2014 Full Review Scanners (1981) 67% “Scanners consolidates the ruling problematic of the Cronenberg project from the sex slugs of Shivers to the financial abstractions of Cosmopolis: what are the effects of signals on an organism?” – Film Comment Magazine Jul 7, 2014 Full Review Interior. Leather Bar. (2013) 59% “A movie that continually puzzles over what it is and why it is being made.” – Film Comment Magazine Apr 21, 2014 Full Review Keep the Lights On (2012) 90% “Keep the Lights On acknowledges (without belaboring) the performative nature of identity; how each of our claims to selfhood, be it sexual, romantic, or professional, are staged on a shifting terrain of habit, fantasy, and desire.” – Film Comment Magazine Aug 22, 2013 Full Review Anatomy of Hell (2003) 26% “Her latest, Anatomy of Hell, doesn't so much straddle the fine line between art and porn as balance, bleeding, on the knife's edge between trenchant and pretentious.” – Film Comment Magazine Jun 28, 2013 Full Review Yves Saint Laurent 5, Avenue Marceau 75116 Paris (2002) 62% “It is devoted, rather, to the calm, thoughtful, and ultimately elusive reflections of M. Berg on the dismantling of a legacy” – Film Comment Magazine Jun 28, 2013 Full Review She Hate Me (2004) 20% “She Hate Me isn't subversive, it's insipid.” – Film Comment Magazine Jun 28, 2013 Full Review Pootie Tang (2001) 27% “Pootie Tang works, in part, because it doesn't. Which is to say the movie's special success is inextricable from the moments where it blatantly fails. The movie exerts a beguiling charm that can only be explained as the je ne sais quoi of sa da tay.” – Village Voice Nov 1, 2011 Full Review I Don't Hear the Guitar Anymore (1991) 100% “Raw, rueful, and piercingly alert, a film of tremendous formal instinct and cogent human truth, J'entends is an oblique memoir of the filmmaker's relationship to Nico (Steege) -- and a testament to the elusive genius of a postwar French master.” – Village Voice Apr 4, 2011 Full Review Orphan (2009) 60% “The movie is, as these things go, enjoyably trashy.” – NPR.org Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Knowing (2009) 35% “A slog through lazy writing, indifferent acting and blase direction with no hope of anything but chaotic violence as reward.” – NPR.org Jul 6, 2010 Full Review The Cremaster Cycle (2003) 63% “Matthew Barney's humongous riff on struggle, reproduction, conceptual drag, and several dozen strands of narrative gobbledygook is undeniably something to be reckoned with--if only as a relic of the boom years in contemporary art.” – Village Voice May 19, 2010 Full Review Ghosted (2009) 7% 2.5/5 “An elegant but unsatisfying drama of cross-cultural lesbian love triangles.” – New York Times Jul 31, 2009 Full Review Loren Cass (2006) 75% 4.5/5 “This sharp, gutsy indie is one of the year's great discoveries.” – New York Times Jul 24, 2009 Full Review Died Young Stayed Pretty (2008) 63% 2/5 “Unstructured and free-associative, cutting among interviews and images at breakneck speed to no discernible narrative or thematic purpose, the documentary is mercurial to the point of incoherence.” – New York Times Jul 17, 2009 Full Review
