Titane (2021) 90% “Ducournau is not naïve: nothing in Titane leads me to believe she is unaware of the ease with which her film will click into its place in the discourse machine.” – Cinema Scope Oct 8, 2021 Full Review Freedom (2019) 71% “This relationship between movement and stasis is not transcendent: Serra does not leave the world behind. Rather, his films figure a gut sensation that is, it seems to me, typical of our moment...” – Cinema Scope Sep 5, 2019 Full Review Moonlight (2016) 98% “What is remarkable about Moonlight is that Jenkins and playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney have crafted a film which has this place so deep in its bones that it strikes me as impossible to separate any aspect of its form from the context which produced it.” – Cinema Scope Nov 9, 2017 Full Review The Nothing Factory (2017) 81% “A long, detailed report on the dynamics and tactics involved in the worker response to the impending liquidation of an elevator factory outside of Lisbon, Pinho's film is remarkable for the breadth of its attention.” – Cinema Scope Nov 9, 2017 Full Review Boom for Real: The Late Teenage Years of Jean-Michel Basquiat (2017) 88% “Driver knows cool, and, to borrow from one of New York's current crop of aspirant hipsters, she was there, so the results are thorough, a fine primer for anyone who, like the film's Basquiat, is refining their nose for culture.” – Cinema Scope Nov 9, 2017 Full Review Good Luck (2017) 100% “Russell's subject here is labour; to reflect it so fully is a vital achievement.” – Cinema Scope Nov 8, 2017 Full Review The Color Wheel (2011) 79% “Perry and co-writer/star Carlen Altman are Colin and J.R., the most loathsomely lovable brother-sister duo in the history of cinema.” – L.A. Weekly Jun 7, 2012 Full Review House of Tolerance (2011) 84% 4/4 “A brief history of time and space, according to Bertrand Bonello.” – Slant Magazine Nov 22, 2011 Full Review Hugo (2011) 93% 3/4 “What makes this Scorsese's best film since The Age of Innocence is the curious view he takes of both this boy and the sea of artifice in which he's set adrift.” – Slant Magazine Nov 22, 2011 Full Review This Is Not a Film (2010) 97% 3.5/4 “In its way, this effort is both a forceful assertion of the most stifling brand of auteurism and a radical reconfiguration of its political potential.” – Slant Magazine Oct 13, 2011 Full Review Le Havre (2011) 99% 3.5/4 “Kaurismki's style throughout remains, as ever, resolutely direct in its clean lines and saturated color.” – Slant Magazine Oct 2, 2011 Full Review Miss Bala (2011) 88% 1.5/4 “Unlike Terri, the latest, most commercial venture from his friend and AFI schoolmate Azazel Jacobs, Miss Bala doesn't sublimate Gerardo Naranjo's strengths into a commercially viable package.” – Slant Magazine Sep 30, 2011 Full Review The Deep Blue Sea (2011) 82% “Manages to achieve the rare feat of maintaining an unmistakably theatrical tone without ever playing as stagy in the least.” – House Next Door Sep 18, 2011 Full Review Alps (2011) 75% “Lanthimos has made his most demanding film on every level, and one of the smartest works of the 21st century, in art or theory, on how and why we watch movies.” – House Next Door Sep 18, 2011 Full Review Almayer's Folly (2011) 86% “The opening, a grand coup de cinema, is not only thrillingly seductive, it sets up the film's structural acknowledgement of the presence of a source text that it will deny at every turn” – House Next Door Sep 16, 2011 Full Review Take This Waltz (2011) 79% “Michelle Williams once again proves that, through the sheer force of the honesty her face, she can elevate anything.” – House Next Door Sep 13, 2011 Full Review Bé omid é didar (Goodbye) (2011) 100% “It's a film built of small gestures: The hurried, urgent way that Zare hands a pack of money across a table is a great dramatic event here.” – House Next Door Sep 12, 2011 Full Review Forget Me Not (2010) 69% “Menzies and O'Reilly crackle when the script gets out of their way, and a bad imitation of Before Sunrise is better than most of what passes for a romance film these days.” – L.A. Weekly Mar 3, 2011 Full Review “To director-writer Alessandro Capone, suicide is just a plot device.” – L.A. Weekly Mar 3, 2011 Full Review Destricted (2006) 18% “That it's taken Destricted nearly five years since its debut at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival to turn up in theaters is doubly unsurprising.” – L.A. Weekly Nov 4, 2010 Full Review
