Neptune Frost (2021) 96% “Saul Williams and Anisia Uzeyman’s new film performs a radical intervention upon the science fiction genre.” – Hyperallergic Jun 28, 2022 Full Review Transit (2018) 94% 3.5/4 “Christian Petzold's white-hot existentialist noir Transit is perhaps the best World War II film since Paul Verhoeven's Black Book, even if it hinges on a suspension of disbelief that'll be too far a stretch for some.” – Slant Magazine Dec 20, 2019 Full Review This Is Not a Movie (2019) 100% “Even if This is Not a Movie appears to be yet another magazine profile-style hagiography in doc form, it also uses Fisk as a litmus test for the last quarter-century's crisis of journalistic integrity.” – Cinema Scope Sep 9, 2019 Full Review Long Day's Journey Into Night (2018) 95% 3/4 “Somehow, Bi Gan's film is self-aware and fluid as its own viewing experience, yet inextricable from its loud-and-clear influences.” – Slant Magazine Sep 24, 2018 Full Review The Land of Steady Habits (2018) 83% “While Nicole Holofcener (adapting a 2014 novel by Ted Thompson) uses sometimes pat templates to explore the heart of bourgeois darkness, it must be said the end product is far less neutered than one would expect.” – Cinema Scope Sep 20, 2018 Full Review Killing (2018) 100% “Killing becomes a bloody rumination on the inevitability of its namesake, whether as cruel punishment or as necessary self-defense.” – Cinema Scope Sep 11, 2018 Full Review Anthropocene: The Human Epoch (2018) 89% “There's no denying the images are stunning.” – Cinema Scope Sep 11, 2018 Full Review The Chambermaid (2018) 99% “[A] deft, insinuating film.” – Cinema Scope Sep 11, 2018 Full Review High Life (2018) 83% 3.5/4 “The film asks down-and-dirty questions about what really resides beneath thousands of years of human progress, a savage and haunting antidote to the high-minded idealism of movies like Christopher Nolan's Interstellar and Ridley Scott's The Martian.” – Slant Magazine Sep 11, 2018 Full Review Two Plains & A Fancy (2018) 67% 3.5/4 “No verbal or written description can do justice to the film's best moments, which seamlessly render the absurd and sublime one and the same.” – Slant Magazine Jul 3, 2018 Full Review The Big Blue (1988) 62% “Besson's deep-diving melodrama stresses its own depth-emotional, artistic, oceanic-while ping-ponging between its two lead frenemies.” – Slant Magazine May 30, 2018 Full Review Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) 69% 2/4 “The imprint of Star Wars on everyday American life now feels so despotic that it's too much to ask a film like Solo to be moving or thrilling as a piece of cinema.” – Slant Magazine May 15, 2018 Full Review Infinite Football (2018) 96% 3.5/4 “Corneliu Porumboiu resists spelling anything out but the bare essentials, instead continuing his project of inviting viewers to closely parse the acerbic day-to-day banalities of post-Ceausescu Romania.” – Slant Magazine Mar 1, 2018 Full Review 7 Days in Entebbe (2018) 24% 1.5/4 “The conflation of historical complexities makes for cheap pathos throughout, complete with weeping mothers and the seemingly endless dredging up of the terrorists' obvious moral equivalence.” – Slant Magazine Feb 23, 2018 Full Review Unsane (2018) 80% 3/4 “Even Unsane's most ridiculous moments coast on the sheer energy of Steven Soderbergh's aesthetic gamesmanship.” – Slant Magazine Feb 21, 2018 Full Review Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot (2018) 77% 3/4 “The film is disarming for its sincerity, unalloyed in its positive thinking but unafraid of showing the gruesome details of alcoholism and denial to back up its bromides.” – Slant Magazine Feb 20, 2018 Full Review Damsel (2018) 67% 1.5/4 “Damsel ends up feeling like a festival-land breakout comedy short dragged out for two interminable hours.” – Slant Magazine Feb 20, 2018 Full Review Isle of Dogs (2018) 90% 2.5/4 “Isle of Dogs's invocations of corruption and militarism should leave a sour taste in the mouth of anyone unable to abandon the thought of the world outside of the film's perimeters.” – Slant Magazine Feb 16, 2018 Full Review I Am Not a Witch (2017) 98% “It's arguable that Nyoni is stretching a thin premise, but this film is one of the obvious breakouts of the year: exactly the kind of young work-brash, committed, and narratively unpredictable-that film festivals are supposed to champion.” – Slant Magazine Jan 10, 2018 Full Review In the Last Days of the City (2016) 80% 2.5/4 “But the din that erupts from the logjam-creative, psychic, historical, national-is nothing if not honest.” – Slant Magazine Dec 18, 2017 Full Review Our Brand Is Crisis (2015) 36% “Our Brand is Crisis would have an uphill battle on its hands even if it were a masterpiece, which it most certainly is not.” – Cinema Scope Oct 17, 2017 Full Review Lace Crater (2015) 79% “A queasy demise is the best-case scenario on the other side of a one-night stand in Harrison Atkins' Lace Crater, a s-s-s-s-s-s-spooky and inventive indie debut that's best seen, if possible, in a packed theatre.” – Cinema Scope Oct 17, 2017 Full Review Sunset Song (2015) 81% “There is no such thing as a minor Terence Davies.” – Cinema Scope Oct 17, 2017 Full Review It All Started at the End (2015) “While a number of Ospina's filmmaking decisions are kooky as all get out, highbrow formal considerations take a backseat to the urgency, the personality, and the sheer richness of the filmmaker's excavations.” – Cinema Scope Oct 17, 2017 Full Review Sand Storm (2016) 93% “Despite a startlingly barbed send-off, the film's strongest virtues simply evaporate; as ever, it's hard to escape the sense that the more radical filmmaking is happening elsewhere.” – Cinema Scope Oct 17, 2017 Full Review
