The Shrouds (2024)
74%
“Cronenberg’s genius here lies in focusing in on those moments that would normally evoke a simple sadness and twisting them ever so slightly in the wrong direction, like he’s done to many a body throughout his work.” –

Young Werther (2024)

“Its faults are mostly misjudgments... Even this stripped-down, sorrowless Werther can recall the radical origins — and radical potential — of the coming-of-age story, and that’s a good first step.” –

Afternoons of Solitude (2024)

“In Afternoons of Solitude, there are no singular grand moments... Any competition among matadors is akin to that of directors at a film festival where skill may matter, but beauty matters more.” –

Pepe (2024)
71%
“Though the film’s visual formats don’t always coalesce into great moments or meaningful observations, Pepe demands that we, like the river-horse of its title, merely follow along with its currents.” –

“It’s as frustrating as it is interesting, as fun as it is trite, and it’s ultimately not that gross.” –

“Recalling Roberto Minervini’s past docufiction work, the film is a show of impressionistic portraiture.” –

Oh Canada (2024)

“While Schrader tinkers well with his inverted Liberty Valance story, the lengths he goes to formally display this complicated narration border on the absurd. ” –

The Human Surge 3 (2023)
94%
“There’s something more mysterious at work here [than in the first Human Surge], as none of the sequences relate to each other in any literal sense. But Williams is comfortable with that degree of mystery. He, like Georges Méliès, delivers a magic show. ” –

Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)

“With Killers of the Flower Moon, Scorsese has taken his journey’s final step by circling back, telling the story of the snakes and coyotes and wolves that stole a nation and its spirit.” –

“With Richard Linklater’s Hitman, the charismatic Glen Powell has been offered a plum opportunity to shape his image into something more complicated and often poignant.” –

The Zone of Interest (2023)

3.5/4
“The soundtrack of the Hösses’ daily lives is a reminder of the nightmare taking place just beyond the wall outside their home, and this relentless evocativeness gives an extra layer of the uncanny to Rudolf Höss’s already unsettling character.” –

The Palace (2023)

“The worst film of [Polanski's] career... Each scene is an enclosed vignette, where every character proffers proof of their cretinous nature, only to jolt over to the next room before, God forbid, anything interesting happens.” –

The Elephant 6 Recording Co. (2022)

“Though Stockfleth’s documentary acts mostly as a primer for the Elephant 6 collective, it separates itself from the legions of other musical history docs by staking out new territory and demanding Elephant 6’s rightful place in the mix.” –

Circus Maximus (2023)
“It’s a hastily put-together jumble of music videos, tethered by a vague overarching narrative, and a concert film; not a woven patchwork of disparate elements, but rather a product of indecision and shoddy curation.” –

Oppenheimer (2023)

“Opts for a cartoonish gravitas... [the film is] supposed to spell out the tragedy of Oppenheimer’s career, but it does so loudly and literally... Any potential cleverness in Oppenheimer is ruined by the sophomoric instinct to announce and explain itself.” –

Umberto Eco: A Library of the World (2022)

“Although the documentary shies away from a paint-by-numbers talking head format, the filmmaking instincts here are still all-too-familiar. That said, Eco’s words are indeed easy to follow, and his various lectures... are entrancing.” –

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)

“Dial of Destiny subsequently hits all the notes — it’s an Indy film through and through. It’s enjoyable in that way. But this self-seriousness casts a gloomy veil over the project, as a purposeless Indiana Jones waddles from adventure to adventure.” –
