A Working Man (2025)

“It’s understandable that A Working Man wants to be Taken. But it really, really wants to be Taken, and it reeks of it.” –

Bring Them Down (2024)
90%
“Christopher Abbott has been putting in reliably good work while flying relatively under the radar for almost two decades. Bring Them Down is the opposite of a showy performance, but it deserves to bring him to a wider audience.” –

The Electric State (2025)

“The bewildering disconnect between the project’s budget and what we see on the screen is by far the most (read: only) compelling part of The Electric State.” –

Red Rooms (2023)

“Red Rooms might not show the audience Nietzsche’s abyss, but it does have others stare into it, with us glimpsing its reflection in their pupils.” –

The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (2024)
48%
“The trouble is that Kamiyama seems oddly reticent to utilise the possibilities of his medium. Sir, you are doing a Lord of the Rings film in anime -- let loose some bonkers camerawork and gonzo imagery! ” –

Hundreds of Beavers (2022)
97%
“It never quite reaches the heights of that peerless example of the joke avalanche approach -- there are moments where the rhythm falters, and things can get a bit overwhelming -- but this is a project to be applauded nevertheless.” –

The Union (2024)
38%
“The Union is a bad film. It’s not good. It’s awful, as a matter of fact. Devoid of any craft, heart, humor, or point of view other than that of, ‘America good. Military good. Enemies bad’.” –

Gasoline Rainbow (2023)
93%
“The scale of possibilities, the sense of a future yet unwritten -- it’s powerful stuff! Gasoline Rainbow captures this with an epic sweep that’s an almost natural byproduct of road movies.” –

The Last Stop in Yuma County (2023)

“Clocking in at exactly ninety minutes with a rhythm that is thrilling and full of twists and turns, this is a film that is also unafraid to slow things to a crawl and to build tension with craft and patience.” –

The Greatest Hits (2024)

“Unfortunately, the film -- while serviceably acted -- lacks any sense of fun or inspiration, refusing or unable to expand on its premise in a way that would justify being a feature film rather than a ten or fifteen-minute short. ” –

The Settlers (2023)

“Its relatively brief running time and patient pace combined with spare, subtle character work give it the feel of a parable or folk tale, even as it confronts the horrors of imperial subjugation with, at times, nearly unbearably frank realism.” –

Spaceman (2024)

“Unfortunately, after a relatively promising opening five or ten minutes, Spaceman proceeds to fail to live up to any of that potential, delivering a cosmic voyage that might not be an outright disaster but which is nothing to write home about either.” –

Miller's Girl (2024)

“Miller’s Girl makes the critical mistake of taking bad sex writing and then layering it on top of the attempts it makes at cinematic eroticism, stopping dead in its tracks any visceral engagement the audience could otherwise feel from the latter.” –

Players (2024)
