The Order (2024) 92% “The film takes the threat of groups like the Order seriously, but not the conditions that give rise to them.” – The Forward Dec 4, 2024 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% “An easy read of The Brutalist would have Tóth building a new life as his project grows. But Corbet is suggesting that the past will always have a death grip on the artist’s work.” – The Forward Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Getting Away With Murder(s) (2021) 86% “A fiery indictment of a historic injustice too little heeded and too often rationalized.” – The Forward Jul 12, 2024 Full Review The Zone of Interest (2023) 93% “Hedwig and Rudolf are hardly the haunted Macbeths. The only damned spots that concern them are those on the poorly trimmed lilac bushes on the camp’s perimeter.” – The Forward May 14, 2024 Full Review Occupied City (2023) 72% “One thing Occupied City won’t do, even with the cool, prestige imprimatur of A24, is win over today’s distracted youth. Too much context can be tedious.” – The Forward May 14, 2024 Full Review Vishniac (2023) 100% “Bialis’ slick dramatizations of Vishniac’s life, while tastefully done, are underwhelming when paired with the immediacy of the photographer’s own images.” – The Forward May 14, 2024 Full Review All We Carry / Lo Que Llevamos (2024) “As a portrait of a family, Voge’s film is a jarring reminder of the need for a more humane system. ” – The Forward May 14, 2024 Full Review Unfrosted (2024) 40% “Everything is tossed at the wall and, like Pop-Tarts’ gooey filling, much of it sticks. ” – The Forward May 14, 2024 Full Review Kidnapped: The Abduction of Edgardo Mortara (2023) 86% “The film is at its most unsettling, and damning, when the violence of Edgardo’s abduction gives way to the quieter trauma to his soul in the pristine halls of papal Rome.” – The Forward Oct 3, 2023 Full Review Golda (2023) 54% “The force of Mirren’s performance as Israel’s fourth prime minister, imbued with anguished empathy and fierce composure under pressure, elevates an otherwise overbusy film.” – The Forward Aug 24, 2023 Full Review Stan Lee (2023) 80% “The film is so eager to flatter Lee by presenting him as he saw himself that it misses the distinctly ethnic discomfort and context that birthed the World of Marvel.” – The Forward Jul 26, 2023 Full Review The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020) 89% “Sorkin strains to abbreviate that long arc of the moral universe, flexing it toward justice through the sheer force of sophistry and righteous indignation. ” – The Forward Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Uncut Gems (2019) 91% “While we shake our heads over Ratner’s judgment, it’s hard not to relate to his ambition to bet everything on some malformed vision of the American dream.” – The Forward Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (2020) 85% “Unlike its predecessor, this “Borat” leans less on shock value and succeeds in storytelling, solid gags and a more arresting character arc for Borat and his charge in their “Paper Moon”-like tour of the country.” – The Forward Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Pieces of a Woman (2020) 76% ““Pieces of a Woman” doesn’t forsake memory, but questions its proper place in the lives of the second generation. ” – The Forward Jul 26, 2023 Full Review
