The Survivor (2021)
86%
“Director Barry Levinson shows he knows his way around the ring in the brutal boxing scenes, but too often the movie feels heavy-handed. Instead of being moved, you're left with a concussion. ” –

Women in Blue (2020)
50%
“The best parts of the "Independent Lens" documentary are when it delves into officers' personal lives, notably when it captures a heart-to-heart talk between a sergeant and her teenage daughter. If only the film had more of those moments.” –

Black Art: In the Absence of Light (2021)
91%
“The next best thing to visiting a museum, with gorgeous examples of works that have too often been overlooked. Director Sam Pollard... crams in a lot of fascinating history, but you'll wish the camera would linger a bit longer on the art.” –

My Psychedelic Love Story (2020)
90%
“Smith isn't the most reliable narrator, but she weaves a great yarn, one that suggests a jaw-dropping conspiracy, sprinkled with cameos from Francis Ford Coppola, Keith Richards and Andy Warhol. It's a trip.” –

Crazy, Not Insane (2020)
94%
“Focusing on Dr. Dorothy Otnow Lewis, a rebel psychiatrist who believed in multiple personality disorder long before her colleagues did. The videos of her interviewing mass murderers are riveting.” –

Mary and Martha (2013)
56%
“It has an important statement to make, but any semblance of a story keeps getting interrupted by the filmmakers' need to remind you that malaria in Africa is really, really bad.” –

“A big-budget, big-hearted adventure aimed directly at minority girls who all too often feel left out of the conversation.” –

Cinema Verite (2011)
61%
“An informative but somewhat plodding re-creation of the 1970s PBS special, An American Family. James Gandolfini steals the show as the producer who persuades the naive parents to invite cameras into their soon-to-be shattered house.” –

Hemingway & Gellhorn (2012)

“Kidman practically swaggers through the role, channeling Lauren Bacall to such a degree that I almost expected her to ask co-star Clive Owen if he knows how to whistle.” –

Togo (2019)

“"Togo" captures the spirit of classic "Wonderful World of Disney" films with more than a little help from director/cinematographer Ericson Core and a scene-stealing pooch.” –
