Fort Tilden is all the hipster satire you can handle, and maybe more.

Full Review | Nov 10, 2015

Tucked in among the longueurs are moments of savage satirical virtuosity that pinion the zeitgeist.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 21, 2015

A story with a distinctive New York sensibility, filled with all kinds of strange urban creatures who are variously self-involved, superficial, rude and/or downright nasty.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 20, 2015

With "Fort Tilden," writer-directors Sarah-Violet Bliss and Charles Rogers have created two women who are drawn so vividly and so viciously, they're hard to dismiss.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 14, 2015

"Fort Tilden" is cringe-worthy but true. Maybe that's why it's so uncomfortable to watch.

Rarely has a movie so humorously illustrated the meaning of "frenemy."

It's a solid first effort, but it will be even more interesting to see what these two can do next.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 13, 2015

The near-miracle that 2014 SXSW prize-winner "Fort Tilden" pulls off is eventually making [its central] familiar and easily hateable pair into nuanced, melancholic and disastrously overcompensating individuals worth getting to know.

| Original Score: 65/100 | Aug 13, 2015

Allie and Harper are basically unlikable, but played with a light touch and just enough distance from their own unthinking cruelty to remain funny.

| Aug 12, 2015

For all its exquisite theater-of-cruelty viciousness, Fort Tilden is finally a work of empathy about people whose own supplies are running on empty.

| Original Score: A- | Aug 10, 2015

It elegantly evolves from an absurdist comedy into a remarkably wounded and uprooted story of friends who're beginning to tire of their shared social cocoons.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 8, 2015

The movie is broad and mean and for a while very funny, but even when it goes sour - when the world slaps them in the face for their sins - it doesn't lose its momentum.

Fort Tilden, the debut feature co-written and directed by Sarah-Violet Bliss and Charles Rogers, showcases a satirical voice so dyspeptic it's almost endearing.

| Jul 30, 2015

Unfortunately, it fails to find much humor in them, and its potent sense of place and underlying ideas never compensate for the tiresome millennial musings that constitute most of its runtime.

| Jul 30, 2015

Cruel dialogue in youngster hip-speak and a terrific soundtrack keep this light, while cinematography by Brian Lannin takes us right into that hot, hassled summer day.

| Jul 30, 2015

Watching Fort Tilden, one can feel trapped in the redundant cycle of their lives even while laughing at its crass extremes.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 30, 2015
