Tickling Giants (2016) 100% 3/4 EDIT “The man now known as the Jon Stewart of Egypt has graced us with satirical humor that sends a loud and clear message against repression.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 23, 2017 Full Review My Bakery in Brooklyn (2016) 43% EDIT “Entertaining fluff more suitable for the Lifetime or Hallmark channels than theaters.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 18, 2017 Full Review Danny Says (2015) 74% 4/4 EDIT “Fields tells most of his recollections in a dry and wry way with indignation, irreverance, cynicism and bemusement.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 28, 2016 Full Review Silicon Cowboys (2016) 100% 3/4 EDIT “Although we know the outcome, "Silicon Cowboys" feels like a suspense thriller.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 14, 2016 Full Review For the Love of Spock (2016) 100% 3/4 EDIT “The movie is entertaining, although true Trekkies will probably find out nothing new about the man with the pointed ears.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 7, 2016 Full Review The People vs. Fritz Bauer (2015) 85% 3/4 EDIT “Klaussner's fine performance keeps us on edge through most of the film, even though we know the result.” – San Francisco Chronicle Aug 24, 2016 Full Review What Our Fathers Did: A Nazi Legacy (2015) 87% 4/4 EDIT “What starts out as a genial documentary about two sons of high officials of the Nazi Party soon turns chilling in the gripping and compelling "What Our Fathers Did: A Nazi Legacy."” – San Francisco Chronicle Nov 12, 2015 Full Review Hunting Elephants (2013) 38% 4/4 EDIT “A little gem.” – San Francisco Chronicle May 14, 2015 Full Review Felix and Meira (2014) 78% 3/4 EDIT “"Flix and Meira" appears to be a simple movie about fitting in, acceptance and sacrifice. Yet it's so elegant and poses many different sides that it's actually a very complex film with very complex characters.” – San Francisco Chronicle Apr 30, 2015 Full Review Seymour: An Introduction (2014) 100% 3/4 EDIT “Bernstein in action is a study of what a teacher should be: kind but with a steely resolve. He analyzes the music and figures how to overcome its obstacles.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 19, 2015 Full Review Diplomacy (2014) 94% 4/4 EDIT “Although we know what happens, Diplomacy keeps up the suspense and pulls off surprises as Choltitz's decision reaches its inevitable ending.” – San Francisco Chronicle Nov 26, 2014 Full Review Rudderless (2014) 65% 3/4 EDIT “It's not easy making an uplifting film about the aftermath of the death of a son. But director and co-writer William H. Macy and actor Billy Crudup as the bereaved father pull it off in "Rudderless," a movie more about redemption than the causes of evil.” – San Francisco Chronicle Oct 16, 2014 Full Review No No: A Dockumentary (2014) 97% 3/4 EDIT “The documentary does a good job on his career and life, using interviews with Ellis, former teammates, family members, friends and former wives.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 4, 2014 Full Review The Chef (2012) 47% 4/4 EDIT “It's definitely not love at first sight for this odd couple, which makes for good laughs, but their love of food and life enables them to find the right mix of ingredients for a very funny movie.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jul 7, 2014 Full Review Ivory Tower (2014) 84% 3/4 EDIT “Though the filmmakers take on too much in 90 minutes, they pass the test by convincing us that something needs to be done to end this financial nightmare, which can cost $60,000 per year per student.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 19, 2014 Full Review Cuban Fury (2014) 54% 3/4 EDIT “There's nothing groundbreaking in "Cuban Fury," but it's a pleasant diversion starring the always amiable Nick Frost, with Chris O'Dowd relishing his role as a slimeball.” – San Francisco Chronicle Apr 10, 2014 Full Review Breathe In (2013) 56% 2/4 EDIT “Although Jones and Pearce are interesting when onscreen alone, their chemistry is slightly off.” – San Francisco Chronicle Apr 3, 2014 Full Review Afternoon of a Faun: Tanaquil Le Clercq (2013) 90% 4/4 EDIT “Director Nancy Buirski not only is able to give rare insights into the dance world but a compelling tale of love, friendship and perseverance.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 20, 2014 Full Review Lenny Cooke (2013) 78% 3/4 EDIT “Filmmakers Benny and Josh Safdie use real-time footage to follow this hopeful, affable young man as he becomes a bitter has-been over the course of a decade.” – San Francisco Chronicle Dec 19, 2013 Full Review American Jerusalem: Jews and the Making of San Francisco (2013) 4/4 EDIT “An illuminating documentary about how Jews were front and center in building the city, both intellectually and physically.” – San Francisco Chronicle Oct 10, 2013 Full Review Mademoiselle C (2013) 47% 2/4 EDIT “There are just so many ways Carine Roitfeld can say she loves fashion in "Mademoiselle C," a somewhat interesting documentary that brings us into the inner workings of a magazine, but harps a bit too much on her ideas of fashion and style.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 19, 2013 Full Review Museum Hours (2012) 94% 2/4 EDIT “It has its tedium, but it's not bad. At times, it's actually quite good.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 19, 2013 Full Review Good Ol' Freda (2013) 85% 3/4 EDIT “We love her, yeah, yeah, yeah.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 12, 2013 Full Review I Give It a Year (2013) 53% 3/4 EDIT “"I Give It a Year" is a smart farce that would make Hugh Grant and his fans proud.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 5, 2013 Full Review Afternoon Delight (2013) 66% 3/4 EDIT “It's refreshing to hear dialogue that's natural and modern and doesn't try to pontificate. And the rewards are many.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 5, 2013 Full Review
