Time (2020) 98% “... [Garrett Bradley is] a new empathetic and caring voice that comes at a time when American cinema is sorely lacking in one.” – Kinoscope Dec 7, 2021 Full Review A Quiet Passion (2016) 92% “To consider A Quiet Passion as simply a biopic is to reduce its virtues.” – Hyperallergic Feb 6, 2020 Full Review White Sun (2016) 100% “...has a no-frills aesthetic. Its plain look puts the center of attention on its characters, all of whom are not drawn, but sketched out as strictly functional in this kind of social, and de-centered drama unfolding among many players.” – Kinoscope Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Correspondences (2016) “Correspondences is Gomes' long and loving film about a friendship that spans, years, decades, continents.” – Kinoscope Oct 30, 2019 Full Review TINY: The Life of Erin Blackwell (2016) 100% “Although it uses a similar style as Street Wise - voices heard over footage - Tiny is more straightforward and streamlined.” – Hyperallergic Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Rat Film (2016) 90% “...provides the evidence that the problems of Baltimore's past are in fact the problems of its present.” – Hyperallergic Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Streetscapes (Dialogue) (2017) “...a major departure for Emigholz...” – Hyperallergic Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Quay (2015) 83% “[Feels like] a featurette you'd find on a Blu-ray, filler.” – Hyperallergic Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Faces Places (2017) 99% “...a palatable, easily digestible film that is as ephemeral as the murals showcased in it.” – Hyperallergic Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Maska (2009) “...one of the Quays' more narrative-oriented works, but it's still as baroque as ever...” – Hyperallergic Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Starless Dreams (2016) 100% “...Oskouei's finest work yet.” – MUBI Oct 30, 2019 Full Review “...a crushing look at oppressive patriarchal society in which Oskouei offers a portrait of women and the different ways they're restricted financially, physically, mentally, and ethically.” – MUBI Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Hale County This Morning, This Evening (2018) 97% “...a transcendental and immersive documentary assembled by RaMell Ross...” – Hyperallergic Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Winter Brothers (2017) 91% “Pálmason seems to work intuitively, and what he creates with Winter Brothers is a shaggy film that alternates between being invigorating and tedious.” – Hyperallergic Oct 30, 2019 Full Review The Chinese Lives of Uli Sigg (2016) “...the documentary is a good, albeit slanted, starting point to familiarize oneself with contemporary Chinese art and the man who helped expose it to the world.” – Hyperallergic Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Victory Day (2018) 75% “Victory Day reflects Loznitsa's enduring preoccupation with communities engaging with, or enmeshed in the creation of history.” – Hyperallergic Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Donna Haraway: Story Telling for Earthly Survival (2016) “The documentary...is at once a glimpse into Haraway's life and a casual credo exuding her way of thinking.” – Hyperallergic Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Hard to Be a God (2013) 95% “Hard to Be a God, to say the least, can be seen as a flexible metaphor for the unchanging state of both Soviet and post-Soviet Russia.” – Vague Visages Oct 30, 2019 Full Review My Joy (2010) 90% “Necessarily bleak, My Joy shows [Russia] caught in the kind of circuitous violence that ultimately corrupts man.” – Vague Visages Oct 30, 2019 Full Review The Queen of Sheba Meets the Atom Man (1963) “With The Queen of Sheba Meets the Atom Man, Rice returns to the rowdy improvisational approach of The Flower Thief, this time on the East Coast in a cramped apartment and on the streets of Manhattan.” – Hyperallergic Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Bully (2001) 54% “What Clark does suggest in this confrontational work is a cultural condition in American suburbia by which relations between parents and children are strained or even nonexistent.” – Village Voice Oct 30, 2019 Full Review The Flower Thief (1960) “Not only is this a freeform film shapeshifting with every scene, but it is also a document of the thriving Beat movement...” – Hyperallergic Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Another Day in Paradise (1999) 57% “Another Day in Paradise, Clark's sophomore effort, represents the closest he's ever gotten to making a mainstream film. The movie is Clark's vision of the outlaw lifestyle...” – Village Voice Oct 30, 2019 Full Review The Image Book (2018) 90% “...a work, both surprising and confounding, that indicates the lyrical and poetic potential of montage-based cinema.” – Hyperallergic Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Donbass (2018) 88% “[Donbass] is an angry film casting a light on 'Europe's forgotten war' - a war with more than 10,000 casualties so far.” – Hyperallergic Oct 29, 2019 Full Review
