Dreams (2024) 90% EDIT “Dreams (Sex Love) is a film that can be read and argued about in many ways, and it’s even better with its shifting experimental voiceover and its three-generation voices of fascinating, articulate women.” – Arts Fuse Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Creede U.S.A. (2025) EDIT “Cooperman succeeded admirably in her ambition: to locate common ground and humanity in a rough and right-wing American community.” – Arts Fuse Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Cactus Pears (2025) 97% EDIT “The character of Anand is too passive to really get behind and root for, and Kanawade’s direction is somewhat languid, even sluggish. ” – Arts Fuse Jun 23, 2025 Full Review The Baltimorons (2025) 95% EDIT “ The Baltimorons is fairly funny, a bit slim.” – Arts Fuse Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Folktales (2025) 85% EDIT “We don’t learn enough about any of the teeners to make their journeys psychologically or spiritually meaningful.” – Arts Fuse Jun 23, 2025 Full Review The Librarians (2025) 94% EDIT “Hooray for this weighty and necessary film! Hooray for mighty librarians!” – Arts Fuse Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Marcella (2024) 91% EDIT “Several of the most delightful scenes in Marcella feature young chefs, Hazan acolytes, making her most iconic dishes. Baked chicken done with salt and two lemons sewn inside. That’s all. ” – Arts Fuse May 15, 2025 Full Review Bonjour Tristesse (2024) 68% EDIT “The movie capsizes and never recovers when Anne arrives at the Riviera. She’s played by Chloë Sevigny. A disastrous miscasting.” – Arts Fuse May 8, 2025 Full Review Ex-Husbands (2023) 76% EDIT “Despite the melancholia in the air, Ex-Husbands is still fun to watch for the atmospheric use of scenic Tulum on the Yucatan Peninsula. ” – Arts Fuse Mar 10, 2025 Full Review 1-800-ON-HER-OWN (2024) EDIT “DeFranco's didactic female-empowerment music doesn't register for me. But she's a complicated, absorbing person who held my attention completely in 1-800-On-Her-Own. ” – Arts Fuse Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story (2024) 93% EDIT “A far too worshipful saga of Liza Minnelli, which title, like its hero, is way over the top: Liza: a Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story.” – Arts Fuse Jun 25, 2024 Full Review Merchant Ivory (2023) 96% EDIT “[An] affectionate portrait of the directing-producing team behind Room With a View (1985), Howard’s End (1992), Remains of the Day (1993), and many other classy, intelligent costume pictures. ” – Arts Fuse Jun 25, 2024 Full Review Luther: Never Too Much (2024) 98% EDIT “Good, not great, better on showcasing Vandross’s lovely singing than telling his life.” – Arts Fuse Jun 25, 2024 Full Review Mad About the Boy: The Noël Coward Story (2023) 86% EDIT “I saw documentaries, the majority of them excellent, about gay men, a maybe gay man, a bi woman, and a wobbly straight woman who is the ultimate gay icon. My very favorite of the bunch was Mad About the Boy: the Noel Coward Story” – Arts Fuse Jun 25, 2024 Full Review We Strangers (2024) 89% EDIT “It’s far and away the Best Film of 2024, superior to anything that has come out of Hollywood. ” – Arts Fuse Jun 25, 2024 Full Review Evil Does Not Exist (2023) 91% EDIT “Despite the artsy style, the narrative is missing the ambiguities and complexities of a high-level art-house movie.” – Arts Fuse May 15, 2024 Full Review The Beast (2023) 86% EDIT “Who would predict that this perfectly calibrated tale would be yanked out of its early 20th century setting and become dystopian science-fiction?” – Arts Fuse Apr 12, 2024 Full Review Mad Props (2024) 100% EDIT “[A] sweet, amusing documentary.” – Arts Fuse Mar 27, 2024 Full Review How to Have Sex (2023) 97% EDIT “Has there ever been a better or more accurate film about young girls on the edge of adulthood?” – Arts Fuse Feb 16, 2024 Full Review American Fiction (2023) 93% EDIT “All is OK with Jeffrey Wright. The protean actor, balding with a beard and glasses, is properly fussy and abrasive and perennially dissatisfied as “Monk” Ellison.” – Arts Fuse Dec 14, 2023 Full Review Menus-Plaisirs Les Troisgros (2023) 100% EDIT “The greatest fun of this documentary is, of course, hanging out in the kitchen -- a large, expansive one with long windows that open onto country greenery -- and being round about for all the amazing cooking.” – Arts Fuse Dec 6, 2023 Full Review White Line Fever (1975) 29% EDIT “This is what the movie is finally about: bodies leaping upon each other, kicking and kneeing, trucks pushing other vehicles off the road, and nothing motivated.” – Cineaste Magazine Oct 3, 2023 Full Review Passages (2023) 94% EDIT “An unpleasant saga...with the most dubious scene of 2023...” – Arts Fuse Jul 14, 2023 Full Review Theater Camp (2023) 86% EDIT “A woefully thin and unfunny comedy...” – Arts Fuse Jul 14, 2023 Full Review Indigo Girls: It's Only Life After All (2023) 93% EDIT “A frank, up-close portrait...” – Arts Fuse Jul 14, 2023 Full Review
