Drop Dead City (2024) “The film tells an enormously complex story of financial fine points and political maneuvering, along with the underlying social and personal backstories, with a deft touch and a brisk sense of wonder. ” – The New Yorker Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Killer of Sheep (1978) 98% “A sharply observed, lyrically romantic drama of a young paterfamilias in Watts named Stan, whose harsh job in a slaughterhouse leaves him embittered and depressed. ” – The New Yorker Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 98% “Although Coogler’s film encompasses legend and mysticism, his manner is rationally extravagant; the action, even at its most fantastical, is underpinned by audacious ideas. ” – The New Yorker Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Broken Rage (2024) 86% “A conceptual gem realized with effervescent flair. ” – The New Yorker Apr 11, 2025 Full Review A Minecraft Movie (2025) 48% “It’s got enough personality to make me wish that Hess had had a still freer hand... Don’t mistake my curiosity for enthusiasm. I can’t recommend that anyone see A Minecraft Movie, not even a child.” – The New Yorker Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Born to Win (1971) 43% “It’s the first American movie by the Czech director Ivan Passer, who films the city’s street life with fascination while grimly observing the law’s oppressive authority -- and J’s moral degradation through lies and betrayals.” – The New Yorker Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Invention (2024) 94% “With startling views of unspoiled nature, Stephens evokes vestiges of the philosophies of Emerson and Thoreau surviving the din of modern media.” – The New Yorker Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Lost Chapters (2024) “Alvarado and José Ostos did the cinematography, and their keen sense of light, color, and tempo invests Adela’s tender observations and enigmatic digressions with drama and passion.” – The New Yorker Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Fiume o morte! (2025) “The film’s self-deprecatingly comedic artifice nonetheless captures chilling details of an adventure that starts with a demagogue’s cult-like following and ends with bloody corpses. ” – The New Yorker Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Thank You Very Much (2023) 90% “Examining Kaufman’s childhood and his distinctive range of pop-cultural touchstones, Braverman celebrates the comedian’s uproarious art while probing the anguish that fuelled it.” – The New Yorker Mar 22, 2025 Full Review Being Maria (2024) 62% “As a creative work, it’s mild, but it’s audacious nonetheless, and its audacity lies in its very existence.” – The New Yorker Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Misericordia (2024) 95% “For sheer suspense, few recent thrillers match Alain Guiraudie’s low-key but high-anxiety mystery Misericordia.” – The New Yorker Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% “The cast of luminaries lend the thinly sketched characters distinctive personalities, but the real star is the technology of spycraft: Soderbergh grimly delights in exposing its eerie powers and potentially devastating uses.” – The New Yorker Mar 17, 2025 Full Review An Unfinished Film (2024) 73% “The vertiginous condensing of fiction and nonfiction, of past and present, has a radically destabilizing effect that’s inseparable from the audacity of Lou’s political vision.” – The New Yorker Mar 15, 2025 Full Review The Empire (2024) 57% “Its oddity, evident in the barest descriptions, is so extreme as to threaten to overshadow its distinctive artistry and ferocious substance.” – The New Yorker Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Eephus (2024) 100% “Baseball is the star, the game is the story, and the only conflicts that matter are the ones that the athletes resolve in play. Nonetheless, in Lund’s keenly discerning view, the game is inseparable from the human element.” – The New Yorker Mar 7, 2025 Full Review This Life of Mine (2024) 85% “The movie’s dialogue could be published to be savored at leisure, but its brilliant pace and tone owe a huge amount to Jaoui, whose Barbie is one of the greatest, most inspired and imaginative performances I’ve seen onscreen in a while.” – The New Yorker Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Compensation (1999) 92% “The great power of the movie, beyond the passionate specifics of its romantic dramas, is in the distillation of an enormous vision of historical unity. ” – The New Yorker Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Breakfast of Champions (1999) 28% “Rudolph lets his directorial vision loose here, a giddy cinematic id that displays more imagination and more daring in every cathode tube and every street sign, every growl and every rant, than most Hollywood movies have in their whole run time. ” – The New Yorker Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Toute une nuit (1982) “The intimacy in Akerman’s film is a matter of structural poetry, of analytic rapture. The many performers are physically precise yet free, and they do most of their work with their bodies.” – The New Yorker Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Life After (2025) 100% “Life After, made with a personal fervor that never loses sight of reportorial specifics, outlines a horrific vision of merciless mercy killings in which disabled people would gain the right to die because society hardly recognizes their right to live. ” – The New Yorker Feb 11, 2025 Full Review OBEX (2025) 100% “Though OBEX, too, is a fantasy, it’s also a work of meticulous realism -- but the realities that it dramatizes are so unusual and so finely observed that they outshine the imaginative speculations to which they give rise. ” – The New Yorker Feb 11, 2025 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 93% “Bronstein’s relentless direction keeps the camera provocatively close to the character throughout, as if merely looking at her is testing her limits. Byrne’s performance has a hair-trigger impulsiveness to match. ” – The New Yorker Feb 11, 2025 Full Review The Fishing Place (2024) 73% “Working on a relatively low budget, in isolation from Hollywood, Tregenza displays a virtuosity that is fully integrated into his comprehensive cinematic vision, his finely imagined re-creation of history, and his long-gestating complex of ideas. ” – The New Yorker Feb 6, 2025 Full Review This Woman (2023) “The mere fact of its existence, at a time of stringent control, is remarkable, which makes Zhang’s directorial achievement all the more impressive. ” – The New Yorker Jan 31, 2025 Full Review
