blur: To The End (2024)
87%
“Director Toby L takes a straightforward fly-on-the-wall approach – candid, handheld footage, with no cosy talking-head input from collaborators or commentators... There is the feeling of a group willing to let the director test their boundaries. ” –

Chevalier (2022)
76%
“Unfortunately, despite the extraordinary details of the chevalier’s life – and beyond splashy set pieces like its opening scene – Chevalier struggles to find a story.” –

Junun (2015)
100%
“Junun treats each piece with the respect it's due: takes are shown from start to finish, and their closing cadences allowed to hang for a moment in the air.” –

83%

Finding Fela (2014)
60%
“Finding Fela fully earns its two-hour running time, and could easily have sustained more, such is the wealth of material and music, and such is the brisk momentum maintained by Gibney and editor Lindy Jankura.” –

Berberian Sound Studio (2012)
85%
“Berberian Sound Studio refuses such a climax: it at once celebrates giallo and takes it apart, disassembling it like Derren Brown explaining an illusion.” –

GasLand (2010)
98%
“With a remorselessness all the more powerful for its quiet unfussiness, Fox builds up a riveting portrait of near-apocalyptic environmental damage and a corporate mindset willing to ruin water sources irrevocably for the sake of a few years' profit.” –
