WTO/99 (2025) 83% EDIT “Despite being composed entirely of news/found/archival footage (no talking heads, no voice over), the documentary WTO/99 nevertheless has the aspect of a dream. ” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Arco (2025) 91% EDIT “Ugo Bienvenu directs this film in such a way that this unusual robot/human relationship is so well established as to be uninteresting, it’s a part of the background.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Nov 10, 2025 Full Review All That's Left of You (2025) 100% EDIT “The film has a lot of sorrow and several poetic moments.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Oct 22, 2025 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 97% EDIT “This film, which provides no easy answers, is certainly one of Panahi’s greatest works.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Orwell: 2 + 2 = 5 (2025) 84% EDIT “A humanizing portrait of a mythologically large 20th-century social commentator.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Drowning Dry (2024) 80% EDIT “To intensify the experience of the modes (the casual-gradual and the intense-gradual), Dry Drowning, which is masterfully directed and performed, employs only diegetic music and naturalistic lighting and shot positions.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 16, 2025 Full Review It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley (2025) 98% EDIT “It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley offers those who study human memory an excellent examination of what's called a "reminiscence bump." ” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Dancing Queen in Hollywood (2025) EDIT “The filming is ugly, and the acting is barely above what we find in Kenan & Kel.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Micro Budget (2024) EDIT “We have been there and seen all of that. And yet, Micro Budget, is actually funny and, once in a while, reaches a region that can be called brilliant.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Nov 25, 2024 Full Review Wings of Desire (1987) 95% EDIT “...utterly beautiful and provides a document for West Berlin just before the fall of the wall...” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) May 11, 2024 Full Review The Neverending Story (1984) 84% EDIT “Though not as wonderfully bizarre as Jim Henson's Labyrinth, it does have an existential monster called the Nothing—it's something like a black hole that sucks the life out of a fantastic world.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) May 10, 2024 Full Review July Rhapsody (2002) 94% EDIT “Don't miss this bittersweet movie.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) May 10, 2024 Full Review The Kitchen (2023) 89% EDIT “The Kitchen is something like the dub mix of Mike Davis's Planet of Slums and William Gibson's All Tomorrow's Parties.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Leave the World Behind (2023) 73% EDIT “Yet one more film that confuses the Apocalypse with Dystopia...” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Dec 16, 2023 Full Review Fantasy A Gets a Mattress (2023) EDIT “This no-placeness explains the film’s incoherence and powers its feverish plot and acting. Fantasy A is all over the city.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Sep 14, 2023 Full Review Oppenheimer (2023) 93% EDIT “Oppenheimer should have been called Oppie. And the shorting of the film's name should have been accompanied by an equally dramatic shorting of the film itself.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jul 29, 2023 Full Review Users (2021) 56% EDIT “It becomes clear that the deepest meaning of this documentary, Users, is the terrifying future that capitalism is presently preparing for our one and only planet...” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jun 23, 2023 Full Review They Live (1988) 86% EDIT “The sunglasses in They Live are ideological. Meaning, they reveal the real message. When you don't wear them, a couch is a couch; when you do, a couch is just the same old boss.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jun 9, 2023 Full Review Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983) 86% EDIT “Nothing but electric...” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jun 2, 2023 Full Review Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy (2022) 91% EDIT “This documentary, which is worth your time (it is, after all, about one of the iconic works of American cinema), only complicates our picture of Voight. He is one strange dude.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) May 15, 2023 Full Review Art for Everybody (2023) 100% EDIT “The subject of this excellent documentary mesmerized me.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) May 15, 2023 Full Review A Disturbance in The Force (2023) 100% EDIT “This documentary, which must be seen if you are a true fan of all that takes place in that faraway galaxy, is about what led to this very special mess and flop.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) May 15, 2023 Full Review Funky Forest: The First Contact (2005) 40% EDIT “The whole film is off the register, off the rails, mind-bending.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Apr 21, 2023 Full Review Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) 84% EDIT “A history lesson lurks below the explosions, clashing swords and other Superhero Spectacles.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Nov 17, 2022 Full Review Flight / Risk (2022) 86% EDIT “In short, avoid Flight/Risk and watch instead Downfall, another 737 Max doc. It at least mentions the stock buybacks...” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Oct 5, 2022 Full Review
