The Rosa Parks Story (2002) 8.4/10 EDIT “This film is beautifully acted and richly scripted and well worth watching.” – Paste Magazine Oct 4, 2020 Full Review Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020) 63% 7.8/10 EDIT “Sometimes the line the film walks between taking the mickey and being genuine is a little fuzzy. But it's fun.” – Paste Magazine Jul 11, 2020 Full Review Unmasking Jihadi John: Anatomy Of A Terrorist (2019) 86% 8.0/10 EDIT “In terms of cinematography and editing, Jihadi John: Anatomy of a Terrorist is well-executed, and it's certainly informative.” – Paste Magazine Jul 26, 2019 Full Review Sea of Shadows (2019) 94% 8.2/10 EDIT “[Richard] Ladkani's camerawork is agile and sleek, and the editing is super-sound, so even with a complicated web of crime, corruption, socioeconomic tension, multiple languages, blurred-out faces and folks who operate in the dark, it's easy to follow.” – Paste Magazine Jul 10, 2019 Full Review Our Godfather (2019) 100% 8.1/10 EDIT “For anyone interested in the workings of organized crime, Our Godfather is a useful look at a subject that is frequently, and in general wrongly, romanticized.” – Paste Magazine Jun 19, 2019 Full Review Ice on Fire (2019) 90% 8.1/10 EDIT “Ice on Fire is a "call to action" documentary. It's an eye-opener for anyone prone to a stultifying "doomsday mentality" and that is unequivocally a good thing.” – Paste Magazine Jun 10, 2019 Full Review For the Birds (2018) 93% 7.5/10 EDIT “For the Birds is admittedly not groundbreaking. But it illuminates something we might not think about very much, which is what is actually going on in the mind of a hoarder, and how the pathology of such a person ramifies on other people.” – Paste Magazine May 21, 2019 Full Review Harvest Season (2018) 7.5/10 EDIT “It's definitely worth watching. There's just something about it that doesn't quite come together.” – Paste Magazine May 15, 2019 Full Review Native Son (2019) 62% 8.4/10 EDIT “Native Son is a highly watchable and frequently discomfiting film in which the violence of one generation melts smoothly and nastily into the violence of another.” – Paste Magazine Apr 4, 2019 Full Review The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley (2019) 78% 6.8/10 EDIT “Like most any Alex Gibney film, this one is sleek, well-produced, focused and journalistic. But The Inventor, given the Gibney-perfect subject, is a little surprising in its softness. As competent as it is, the film just doesn't bite very hard.” – Paste Magazine Mar 18, 2019 Full Review O.G. (2018) 89% 9.0/10 EDIT “O.G. is an even-handed film in which the eruptions of violence in prison are not handled in a macho determination to be "edgy" or "gritty" or sensationalistic, and because of that it feels realistic.” – Paste Magazine Feb 22, 2019 Full Review Song of Parkland (2019) 80% 6/10 EDIT “It's enough to say that Song of Parkland is a disappointing film about a terrible thing that happened, and no more.” – Paste Magazine Feb 7, 2019 Full Review Brexit (2019) 80% 7.5/10 EDIT “Reviewer Me says it's entertaining, Cumberbatch is great, the script is pretty good. Philosopher Me still has a lot of questions.” – Paste Magazine Jan 17, 2019 Full Review Bleed Out (2018) 7.8/10 EDIT “I will say at the outset that, artistically, this film is not a magnificent achievement... Sometimes that's enough for me to gently suggest not burdening your queue with a documentary, but not in this case.” – Paste Magazine Dec 17, 2018 Full Review Into the Okavango (2018) 8.8/10 EDIT “Intimately scaled and slightly rustic in execution, it's both deeply personal and interestingly detached.” – Paste Magazine Dec 14, 2018 Full Review Momentum Generation (2018) 100% 8/10 EDIT “Surfing is a craft (a sport? a lifeway?) that has generated a lot of mediocre film over the years. Momentum Generation is something unusual in all that: It's genuine, and genuinely interesting.” – Paste Magazine Dec 11, 2018 Full Review High Voltage (2018) 33% 1.5/10 EDIT “This film might actually turn you into a brain-nomming zombie, or something you'd find stuck to the bottom of your Smokey Joe. The script alone could fry your circuits.” – Paste Magazine Nov 21, 2018 Full Review 8/10 EDIT “The Okavango Delta is not quite like anywhere else on Earth... And The Flood is a stunning, lovingly photographed visual safari.” – Paste Magazine Nov 20, 2018 Full Review Liyana (2017) 97% 8.5/10 EDIT “It never hurts to be reminded of how powerful storytelling actually is. Not in an airy, abstract way, but: empirically, emphatically and literally.” – Paste Magazine Oct 29, 2018 Full Review My Dinner With HervĂ© (2018) 83% 7.7/10 EDIT “The premise is a good one -- two seemingly opposite yet strikingly similar men meet, and then meet, as in changing one another's perspectives.” – Paste Magazine Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Derren Brown: Sacrifice (2018) 8.8/10 EDIT “The results are honestly kind of staggering. I'm not going to describe it. Just watch. And do watch it, because everyone can and should take an hour to contemplate the questions raised by this oddball program.” – Paste Magazine Oct 19, 2018 Full Review The Sentence (2018) 90% EDIT “This is not that film. It's an intimate, small-scale portrait of how a profoundly unintelligent policy impacted one family.” – Paste Magazine Oct 15, 2018 Full Review Queen of the World (2018) 38% 5/10 EDIT “Personally, I'm scratching my head on this one.” – Paste Magazine Oct 2, 2018 Full Review King Lear (2018) 91% 9/10 EDIT “If somehow you've gone this long without ever being exposed to this dramatic masterwork, this is a thoroughly approachable introduction.” – Paste Magazine Sep 26, 2018 Full Review City of Joy (2016) 100% EDIT “City of Joy is a piercing little film, by turns appalling and uplifting, that manages to go straight to the heart of a complex issue and contend with it eloquently, bravely, and concisely.” – Paste Magazine Sep 7, 2018 Full Review
