My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 (2023) 31% EDIT “I might be swimming against the tide here: I enjoyed this movie a lot.” – Breakfast All Day Sep 15, 2023 Full Review You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah (2023) 91% EDIT “Sweet-natured and thoughtful.” – Breakfast All Day Aug 31, 2023 Full Review A Couple (2022) 85% EDIT “Boutefou’s performance in this delicate but wild environment is coiled and tense, but one that balances interior pain with a graceful delivery. ” – TheWrap Nov 11, 2022 Full Review Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams (2020) 78% EDIT “Guadagnino’s carefully and lovingly detailed history lesson, free of stylistic flourishes, is as satisfying and methodical as that red shoe–making.” – TheWrap Nov 4, 2022 Full Review Hellraiser (2022) 68% EDIT “Embodying Clive Barker’s original intention of “repulsive glamour,” these Cenobites silently glide on hell’s runway. The assignment was “red flesh and raw meat, but make it fashion,” and their work is an elegant slam dunk.” – TheWrap Oct 5, 2022 Full Review My Donkey, My Lover & I (2020) 89% EDIT “Antoinette’s self-absorption exists in the context of a summer holiday film, a staple of French cinema, one that allows chatty characters with the means to get away the opportunity to stretch out and wait for the world to spin them toward happy endings.” – TheWrap Jul 22, 2022 Full Review Flux Gourmet (2022) 85% EDIT “Thick with visual humor and not above florid, absurdist critique of its subject matter, but it never lands with a thud on the trite side of satire aimed at art-world excess. That isn’t the point.” – TheWrap Jun 23, 2022 Full Review AKA (2002) 58% EDIT “Ambitious but messy.” – The Advocate Jun 1, 2022 Full Review Tying the Knot (2004) 89% EDIT “Traditional in form, peppered with commentary from academics, lawmakers, and religious conservatives, Knot makes up in sincerity what it lacks in style.” – The Advocate May 27, 2022 Full Review In Front of Your Face (2021) 95% EDIT “One of Hong’s most emotionally generous films. In a career full of small triumphs, it’s a beautiful gesture of family love, of non-specific spiritual awakening, and self-possession meant to create outward waves of goodness.” – TheWrap May 7, 2022 Full Review Hit the Road (2021) 95% EDIT “Panahi and cinematographer Amin Jafari take familiar tropes of contemporary Iranian cinema and rework them with refreshing twists.” – TheWrap Apr 22, 2022 Full Review You I Love (2004) 39% EDIT “You I Love is worth a look. It's a chance to watch the first steps of gay Russian filmmaking. Hopefully, there'll be more -- and more assured ones -- to come.” – The Advocate Apr 20, 2022 Full Review Întregalde (2021) 88% EDIT “A satisfying and prickly low-key hum of discontent and moral exploration. In Muntean's exhausted landscape, the world wont listen even when its stuck in frozen mud.” – TheWrap Mar 18, 2022 Full Review Air Doll (2009) 66% EDIT “Thanks to Kore-edas characteristic practice of thoughtful scripting and gentle direction, the metaphors, though too numerous, land gently and effectively.” – TheWrap Feb 3, 2022 Full Review Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn (2021) 91% EDIT “Among Romania's contemporary filmmakers, Jude is among the least likely to package his bleakly comic anger in the form of blank-stare realism. Digressions are the story. Blunt is the way.” – TheWrap Nov 19, 2021 Full Review Labyrinth of Cinema (2019) 93% EDIT “If this sounds like too much for one filmmaker to tackle tonally - as "Duck Amuck" meets the most horrifying of historical tragedies - it would be for almost anyone who wasn't Obayashi.” – TheWrap Oct 20, 2021 Full Review The Jesus Music (2021) 67% EDIT “Content with dipping its toe into a social issue without risking much, what's most revealing in The Jesus Music is what's left out.” – TheWrap Sep 27, 2021 Full Review Days (2020) 96% EDIT “As the action recedes, Tsai's empathy for his lost characters emerges.” – TheWrap Aug 12, 2021 Full Review Mandibles (2020) 91% EDIT “Every frame encourages letting one's guard down, just so the story can roll into a ball of sloppy chaos and make an appropriately goofy mess.” – TheWrap Jul 22, 2021 Full Review Undine (2020) 89% EDIT “Petzold carries Berlin's darkness into the current moment, inventing new ways to tie his characters to the foundational struggle of the past.” – TheWrap Jun 4, 2021 Full Review Vitalina Varela (2019) 95% EDIT “Costa rejects voyeurism and condescension in favor of a form of storytelling solidarity with his actors, one where there's no buffer of irony, no distancing effects.” – TheWrap Feb 21, 2020 Full Review In Fabric (2018) 92% EDIT “Strickland and his cast play it (sort of) straight, aiming for the difficult target of horror-comedy. Comedy wins, but not without some truly gruesome set pieces that take a shrieking delight in the dress wreaking bloody havoc.” – TheWrap Dec 6, 2019 Full Review The Current War: Director's Cut (2019) 61% EDIT “It all leaves a weirdly bitter taste, one that suggests it's less cool to want to leave a legacy of good deeds than it is to be famous for being first.” – TheWrap Oct 22, 2019 Full Review Downton Abbey (2019) 84% EDIT “This is Julian Fellowes' Avengers; they can assemble over and over, and there will always be enough tea cakes go around.” – TheWrap Sep 10, 2019 Full Review Ray & Liz (2018) 94% EDIT “Billingham's famous photos are tough-minded and emotionally painful, silent by virtue of their medium. And his live-action version offers a similar experience.” – TheWrap Jul 19, 2019 Full Review
