Saturn Bowling (2022) 67% EDIT “The muscle of this experiment is still commendable enough in and of itself, leaving plenty enough to chew on despite some notable imbalance.” – In Review Online Mar 11, 2023 Full Review Marlowe (2022) 25% EDIT “The jaundiced palette, the influx of disorienting neon in nighttime driving scenes (easily Marlowe’s most immediately pleasurable sequences), do little to restore the air that Neeson sucks out of the film every time his 100th screen role lumbers into view” – In Review Online Feb 17, 2023 Full Review A Couple (2022) 85% EDIT “A Couple is an epistolary recitation, as beholden to the adaptations of Straub-Huillet as it is the landscape films of James Benning, though there is a multifaceted emotiveness here too, one which matches itself to a panoply of pastoral imagery.” – In Review Online Oct 6, 2022 Full Review Showing Up (2022) 89% 3/4 EDIT “The art is both the focus of Kelly Reichardt’s personal new film but also adjacent to the larger exigencies of life.” – Slant Magazine Oct 4, 2022 Full Review Stars at Noon (2022) 63% EDIT “Stars At Noon is reliably protean, Denis reprising her haphazard union of variegated camera styles... and her almost erratic rhythms coalesce into a sublime whole, the perfect externalization of a lovers-on-the-run experience.” – In Review Online Oct 2, 2022 Full Review Petrov's Flu (2021) 84% EDIT “Petrov’s Flu resists categorization, encourages polemical platitudes, and disrupts its otherwise stunning stasis to once again throw in an “impossible” camera move.” – In Review Online Sep 20, 2022 Full Review Master Gardener (2022) 71% EDIT “Master Gardener attaches its loose system of lonely, spiritual reformees, protégées, and exploitative overseers to a newly expressed purview from a director who assumed he wouldn’t live as long as he has.” – In Review Online Sep 8, 2022 Full Review The Most Dangerous Game (2022) EDIT “[The Most Dangerous Game] is a vehicle for bloodshed, and not much else, even if Lee laboriously insists otherwise.” – In Review Online Aug 4, 2022 Full Review We (2021) 80% EDIT “The length is felt, perhaps too much so, but Diop utilizes the time to display a consummate reconciliation of her proclivities as a documentarian, and as an artist.” – In Review Online Jun 27, 2022 Full Review Clytaemnestra (2021) EDIT “Clytaemnestra doesn’t offer much in the way of a visual respite, despite the sun-kissed Greek landscape. ... Still, the ostensibly low-stakes environment ... is compellingly matched both to the adapted text and the defining power dynamics.” – In Review Online Jun 16, 2022 Full Review The Tsugua Diaries (2021) 78% EDIT “[The Tsugua Diaries] maintains its otherwise impressive meditativeness so much so that the film grows nigh-impenetrable, mostly bereft of the sorts of metacinematic gestures that hoisted films prior above potential somnambulism.” – In Review Online May 25, 2022 Full Review Los Conductos (2020) 86% EDIT “Amidst its fiercely indicting undercurrents ... is a profession of friendly cinematic reverence, Restrepo remaining endearingly self-effacing even as his artistry asserts itself.” – In Review Online Apr 28, 2022 Full Review So Cold the River (2022) 58% EDIT “Ultimately, the films setup supersedes its climax; its smooth surfaces are more unnerving when theyre not streaked with blood.” – In Review Online Mar 24, 2022 Full Review Black Crab (2022) 53% EDIT “Bergs film rarely inspires anything beyond a distanced recognition of his shallow pastiche.” – In Review Online Mar 17, 2022 Full Review West Side Story (2021) 91% EDIT “The stage-like 'naturalism' of West Side Story is unerring, but here, for the first time, it truly feels as if life exists beyond the music.” – In Review Online Dec 10, 2021 Full Review The First Wave (2021) 98% EDIT “[The First Wave is] an ornamental object, one that is so pointlessly self-assured in its aesthetic manipulations.” – In Review Online Nov 23, 2021 Full Review The Velvet Underground (2021) 98% EDIT “At its best, The Velvet Underground is a resting place for the detritus of its subject's time. Somehow, the more the band itself is centered, the more disappointing the film is.” – In Review Online Oct 1, 2021 Full Review Ste. Anne (2021) 67% EDIT “All [Ste. Anne's] aesthetic branches and tangents could act as distancing effects, but Vermette instead prioritizes closeness, striving for a new cinematic vernacular to depict intimacy.” – In Review Online Oct 1, 2021 Full Review The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) 93% EDIT “The Tragedy of Macbeth is an old-man film, its reinterpretation of juvenile folly shot through with a visceral fear of aging and bodily disintegration” – In Review Online Sep 29, 2021 Full Review Who You Think I Am (2019) 88% EDIT “Much of what transpires ... plays as merely functional, more content to box Claire in as a jilted, unstable lover rather than liberate her across the Internet.” – In Review Online Sep 2, 2021 Full Review Zeros and Ones (2021) 54% EDIT “The most tangible facets of Zeros and Ones are its violence and, in keeping with its code-referencing title, its digitality.” – In Review Online Aug 13, 2021 Full Review The Viewing Booth (2020) 75% EDIT “Lacking much in the way of an explored thesis, The Viewing Booth only musters the power of a gimmick.” – In Review Online Aug 3, 2021 Full Review The Woman Who Ran (2019) 98% EDIT “The Woman Who Ran is a film of fitful politesse, where potentially discomfiting topics only arise to the surface when they're coaxed by some external, disruptive element.” – In Review Online Jul 13, 2021 Full Review The Real Thing (2020) 63% EDIT “The Real Thing descends into recontextualization more than it does any sort of transcendence. For something so long and still watchable, this is a feat in and of itself.” – In Review Online Jun 7, 2021 Full Review Berlin Alexanderplatz (2020) 47% EDIT “Instead of building to any sort of climax to justify its three-hour runtime, Berlin Alexanderplatz spins out into infinity, confusing circuity for world-building.” – In Review Online Jun 6, 2021 Full Review
