Celebration (2018)
100%
“Though a document of an ostensible celebration, Celebration is never celebratory, and maybe that's the point.” –

Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan (2019)
71%
“What makes this familiar vision of the apocalypse work now is composer Caitlin Yeo, whose burbling score gives Danger Close a sense of mid-70s Peter Weir-ish mysticism the film itself almost doesn't deserve.” –

Greener Grass (2019)
83%
“Jill is the ostensible protagonist because she has something resembling an emotional arc, yet she's so often a part of the random weirdness that it's difficult to identify with her.” –

The Current War: Director's Cut (2019)
61%
“[Alfonso] Gomez-Rejon shoots this infrastructure origin story like an action movie, complete with heart-pounding closeups of old-timey technology, and plenty of wide vistas and dramatically stormy nighttime skies.” –

The Kill Team (2019)
69%
“Even if Nat [Wolff] never uttered a single phoneme in The Kill Team you'd know where Briggman is emotionally at any moment. Most actors would kill for that talent.” –

The Day Shall Come (2019)
65%
“One of the best films of 2019, The Day Shall Come is fast-paced and features far wittier dialog than most domestic comedies.” –

The Dead Center (2018)
94%
“[Billy] Senese... makes great use of the sound design, and glitchy visuals which are unnerving without resorting to cheap jump scares. But most importantly, The Dead Center gives us more [Shane] Carruth, and he brings the film to life.” –

The Ground Beneath My Feet (2019)
90%
“[Marie] Kreutzer paints a... nuanced portrait of the dehumanizing effects of the aesthetically-sterile, male-dominated business world.” –

Britt-Marie Was Here (2019)
71%
“Nearly every element in Britt-Marie Was Here feels familiar, down to the subplot of the evil rich person wanting to close down a youth center... but... the elements work.” –

Desolation Center (2018)
100%
“It's not fair to hold isolated events responsible for the things they inspire, which is why it's okay to revel in Stuart Swezey's documentary Desolation Center even knowing the events it relates led to Burning Man, and Burners ruin everything.” –

Ms. Purple (2019)
86%
“Filmmaking is all about the right visual tool for the right job, and Justin Chon's Ms. Purple makes use of lush colors to tell its contemplative story.” –

Raise Hell: The Life & Times of Molly Ivins (2019)
95%
“Molly Ivins fanned flames constantly throughout her life. Her fearlessness was matched only by her sense of humor, and both are ably honored in Janice Engel's inspiring documentary... which comes down on the side of freedom of expression.” –

Haunt (2019)
71%
“Haunt strives for some emotional resonance by establishing that Harper's father was abusive, hence she grew up in a "real" haunted house, geddit? But it comes across as tasteless-in-a-bad-way.” –

Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool (2019)
91%
“It's a warts-and-all 101 of Davis's life and career until his 1991 death, in which those warts get more or less shrugged off because he geniuses like him are often problematic, so what are you gonna do?” –

Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles (2018)
98%
“Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles is most interesting when it questions the exploitation of poverty and Luis staging events for supposedly non-fiction films.” –

After the Wedding (2019)

“Though heavy-handed at times-you'd best believe a nest with broken eggs symbolizes what you think it does-the picture moves along at a breakneck pace.” –

Love, Antosha (2019)
97%
“The often-ribald anecdotes related by people like Yelchin's Star Trek co-stars Chris Pine and Simon Pegg don't feel like violating his privacy so much as honoring his memory in the most celebratory way possible.” –

The Mountain (2018)
63%
“If [Jeff] Goldblum's signature performance tics are largely dialed back, then [Tye] Sheridan barely registers, all slouches with hands jammed in pockets. He's also ideal for the part in a way a more dynamic performer wouldn't be.” –

Tel Aviv on Fire (2018)
89%
“In addition to being fast-paced and very funny, Sameh Zoabi's Tel Aviv on Fire is as timely a parable on the dangers of fan entitlement as you could hope for.” –

The Queen (1968)
96%
“There is some backstage drama in The Queen - mostly involving the lithe, almost frustratingly pretty Harlow - but what comes across is not competition or catfights, but camaraderie.” –

Mike Wallace Is Here (2019)
94%
“[Avi] Belkin looks back through Wallace's broadcast career, including Wallace's early rent-paying days as a chain-smoking commercial pitchman up through his prominence as a journalist who asked the tough questions nobody else was asking.” –
