The Grand Seduction (2013) 60% 1.5/4 EDIT “Like many films that contrast the simplicity of a rural community against the confusion of city life, The Grand Seduction exhibits a patriarchal, xenophobic attitude.” – Slant Magazine May 23, 2014 Full Review Bad Johnson (2014) 28% .5/4 EDIT “Huck Botko's film asks us to laugh at, even revel in, the misadventures of womanizing men, even as it condemns them for their behavior.” – Slant Magazine Apr 28, 2014 Full Review Youth (2013) 100% 3/4 EDIT “Tom Shoval, who eschews stylistic flourishes in order to focus on character, leaves the film's heavy lifting to the actors and his own screenplay.” – Slant Magazine Mar 16, 2014 Full Review Big Men (2013) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “Rachel Boynton remarkably reveals just how much influence corporate interests have on public wellbeing, and how rarely Ghanaians are part of any debate.” – Slant Magazine Mar 8, 2014 Full Review 3 Days to Kill (2014) 27% 2.5/4 EDIT “McG may strip down his approach and serve up a variety of slick, well-paced shoot-outs and car chases, but his technical skill can't quite overcome the story's lazy sense of humor and incomprehensible account of international espionage.” – Slant Magazine Feb 20, 2014 Full Review Manila in the Claws of Neon (1975) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “For Brocka and his characters, Manila is a libertarian dystopia, where poverty breeds its own predators and victims as the city's poor grasp for the little wealth that hasn't yet been distributed.” – Slant Magazine Feb 1, 2014 Full Review When I Saw You (2012) 83% 3/4 EDIT “Like Antoine Doinel in The 400 Blows, Tarek has a way of using defiance and sarcasm to make himself seem smarter than any ostensible authority figure.” – Slant Magazine Jan 17, 2014 Full Review Detour (2013) 53% 2/4 EDIT “In comparison to its superior predecessors, Detour's redemption plot feels banal and slight.” – Slant Magazine Mar 25, 2013 Full Review
