The Great Hip Hop Hoax (2013) 88% 2/5 EDIT “As the story progresses and Jackass moments proliferate, these deplorable characters and their elaborate and unrelatable egos become increasingly tiring.” – The Skinny Sep 2, 2013 Full Review Indie Game: The Movie (2011) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Aptly demonstrates just how much they are willing to sacrifice to that end, bearing hardship and putting lives on pause to reach that final product of a completed game.” – The Skinny Feb 20, 2013 Full Review This Is 40 (2012) 52% 2/5 EDIT “A family drama that lacks structure and salvages only a little heart.” – The Skinny Feb 14, 2013 Full Review Finisterrae (2010) 4/5 EDIT “In many ways, an excellent introduction to experimental filmmaking, blending stunning vistas with an unusual, almost farcical storyline of two ghosts in limbo.” – The Skinny Feb 23, 2012 Full Review Bombay Beach (2011) 77% 4/5 EDIT “The story tells itself, making plenty of room for an artistic flair and injection of sound that elevate the film from a simple documentary to an artistic exploration.” – The Skinny Feb 1, 2012 Full Review Page One: Inside The New York Times (2011) 78% 3/5 EDIT “In a culture where information is perceived to be free, we may be closer to learning the cost of losing the New York Times.” – The Skinny Nov 9, 2011 Full Review Heartbeats (2010) 74% 4/5 EDIT “Opening with a recurring set of interviews with love scorned young people, Heartbeats lays down a tonne of 20-something sarcasm communicated through tongue-clicks, snide smirks and eye-rolls galore.” – The Skinny May 25, 2011 Full Review Monsters (2010) 75% 4/5 EDIT “Unique, adventurous and hard-to-define, Monsters is guerilla filmmaking at its best.” – The Skinny Nov 29, 2010 Full Review
