Bikram: Yogi, Guru, Predator (2019) 96% 2.5/5 EDIT “As a gesture toward justice, Bikram: Yogi, Guru, Predator succeeds. As a film, it is mediocre.” – The Daily Dot Nov 21, 2019 Full Review The Man Without Gravity (2019) 4/5 EDIT “As with all effective magical realism, The Man Without Gravity strikes a fine balance between fairy-tale whimsy and thematic depth.” – The Daily Dot Nov 1, 2019 Full Review The Elephant Queen (2018) 91% 3/5 EDIT “The powerful images are somewhat undermined by the narrative decision to protect the audience, creating a false image of a pocket of the world that humanity hasn't touched.” – The Daily Dot Oct 31, 2019 Full Review Little Miss Sumo (2018) 4/5 EDIT “The perfect documentary short leaves you simultaneously wishing for more and appreciating the brevity of what has been placed in front of you. Such is the case with Netflix's Little Miss Sumo.” – The Daily Dot Oct 31, 2019 Full Review Arsenio Hall: Smart & Classy (2019) 2/5 EDIT “Arsenio Hall: Smart and Classy offers little more than a mixture of easy observations and pop culture references.” – The Daily Dot Oct 31, 2019 Full Review Wolkenbruchs wunderliche Reise in die Arme einer Schickse (2018) 71% 2/5 EDIT “While The Awakening of Motti Wolkenbruch is fairly well-plotted and visually competent, it fails to transcend its familiar structure.” – The Daily Dot Oct 31, 2019 Full Review Upstarts (2019) 2/5 EDIT “A tech-savvy viewer will find it nearly unwatchable and terribly naive.” – The Daily Dot Oct 23, 2019 Full Review Ghosts of Sugar Land (2019) 100% 4/5 EDIT “There are many social, cultural, and spiritual strands in the 20-minute Ghosts of Sugar Land, and any of them could be pulled out into a feature-length project.” – The Daily Dot Oct 16, 2019 Full Review Bachelorettes (Solteras) (2018) 50% 3.5/5 EDIT “Ready to Mingle pulls off the admirable feat of making a marriage rom-com for a generation that isn't so sure about marriage, and it remains just as skeptical as we do.” – The Daily Dot Oct 2, 2019 Full Review Jeff Dunham: Beside Himself (2019) 2/5 EDIT “By indulging bigotry that appeals to portions of his audience, Dunham shows that he understands his fans, perhaps too well.” – The Daily Dot Oct 1, 2019 Full Review 4/5 EDIT “By paying tribute to the late Johnny Cash's iconic concert at Folsom State Prison... Los Tigres del Norte assert their claim to the legacy of American country music.” – The Daily Dot Sep 17, 2019 Full Review Tall Girl (2019) 42% 3.5/5 EDIT “Tall Girl doesn't attempt to conflate tallness with marginalized groups, but instead points out the absurdity of how teenage life makes everyone feel less than.” – The Daily Dot Sep 13, 2019 Full Review Evelyn (2018) 100% 4/5 EDIT “It is powerful and raw, capable of producing deep, painful reactions. But if you are in a place to watch Evelyn, you will find the beauty amid the pain.” – The Daily Dot Sep 10, 2019 Full Review Jawline (2019) 97% 4/5 EDIT “If you've ever had a dream, no matter where you're from, this film is worth your attention.” – The Daily Dot Aug 26, 2019 Full Review Ramy Youssef: Feelings (2019) 100% 3/5 EDIT “As was the case with his series, Ramy, Youssef's comedy is at its best when he shies away from casual commentary on larger socio-political issues and simply reflects on his personal experience.” – The Daily Dot Aug 1, 2019 Full Review The Great Hack (2019) 85% 3.5/5 EDIT “Where the documentary succeeds, however-and what makes it essential viewing for anyone over the age of 40-is in explaining exactly how Cambridge Analytica works.” – The Daily Dot Jul 26, 2019 Full Review Peterloo (2018) 67% 3/5 EDIT “Peterloo has moments of beauty... But without conflict between characters and in the minds of viewers, Peterloo fails to rise above a shiny piece of propaganda.” – The Daily Dot Jul 9, 2019 Full Review The Wolf's Call (2019) 92% 3/5 EDIT “A naval submarine thriller that shows, for better or worse, that French cinema is capable of much more than what is contained within art house walls.” – The Daily Dot Jun 27, 2019 Full Review Wild Rose (2018) 92% 4/5 EDIT “These are notes we've heard before, but they are played with such heart and such care that Wild Rose feels like a whole new song.” – The Daily Dot Jun 25, 2019 Full Review Life Overtakes Me (2019) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Life Overtakes Me calls attention to an awful and easily preventable situation with calm and grace. It's hard to ask much more of a documentary.” – The Daily Dot Jun 12, 2019 Full Review Elisa & Marcela (2019) 47% 2/5 EDIT “Unfortunately, the film's visual mastery can't make up for its lazy storytelling and groan-inducing attempts at intimacy.” – The Daily Dot Jun 10, 2019 Full Review A Fortunate Man (2018) 86% 3/5 EDIT “While there is much to admire about A Fortunate Man, the shortcomings of the script and the emptiness of the lead character are too much to overcome.” – The Daily Dot Apr 23, 2019 Full Review Fahrenheit 11/9 (2018) 82% EDIT “With Fahrenheit 11/9, Moore once again demonstrates that American cinema without Moore would be similar to American politics with Trump: a tragic loss.” – The Daily Dot Sep 24, 2018 Full Review The Most Assassinated Woman in the World (2018) 86% EDIT “Unfortunately, the story that the film tells is far less exciting than the art form to which it pays tribute.” – The Daily Dot Sep 17, 2018 Full Review Slender Man (2018) 8% EDIT “It turns out that the same things that make the myth of Slender Man so attractive to the internet render the story unadaptable on film.” – The Daily Dot Aug 21, 2018 Full Review
