Misery (1990) 87% EDIT “It’s a Fatal Attraction without the attraction, as flat in its thrills and fitful comedy as it is sour in its point of view,” – Boston Phoenix Jan 21, 2026 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 85% EDIT “A Few Good Men is as generic as its title, a standard, predictable courtroom drama sparked by a few clever bits, showy, mediocre performances by big stars, a resourceful sense of humor, and a fuzzy semblance of being meaningful.” – Boston Phoenix Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Hook (1991) 37% EDIT “The shabby, spiritless, lumbering hulk of this movie should be proof enough that childhood has ended for Spielberg, if not for his audience. Only the sham of innocence remains.” – Boston Phoenix Dec 19, 2025 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% EDIT “True Lies has no pretensions; it's a blithe, superbly crafted piece of trash, a consumable adolescent male fantasy that has not a single dull moment for its entire two-and-a-half hour length. ” – Boston Phoenix Dec 10, 2025 Full Review The Abyss (1989) 76% EDIT “Special effects and movie conventions replace the untidy ambiguities of the human drama.” – Boston Phoenix Dec 9, 2025 Full Review I'm Not Everything I Want to Be (2024) 100% EDIT “[The photos] that she has chosen presumably are those that compose the movie, artfully edited together into a narrative with voice-over, music, and sound effects not unlike Chris Marker’s masterful short La Jetée. The show is a triumph, as is her life.” – Arts Fuse Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% EDIT “I suspect Hamlet would not have approved of the acting in Hamnet.” – Arts Fuse Nov 24, 2025 Full Review A Body to Live In (2025) EDIT “These interviews are intermixed in a nonchronological, collage-like structure, with images backed by disembodied voices and an incantatory soundtrack evocative of a Kenneth Anger film.” – Arts Fuse Nov 22, 2025 Full Review Brigitte's Planet B (2025) EDIT “Posada intercuts these candid observational sequences and archival footage with disorienting imagery of sprouting mushrooms, colorful animal mating behavior, and swarming sea and avian life. The imagery astonishes and delights. ” – Arts Fuse Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 95% EDIT “The narrative is marked by nuanced, heart-wrenching performances, notably by Joel Edgerton as Granier.” – Arts Fuse Nov 18, 2025 Full Review The Stamp Thief (2025) EDIT “At its best, the documentary shows how cinematic make-believe can be enlisted in the cause of righting the wrongs of history.” – Arts Fuse Nov 6, 2025 Full Review All God's Children (2024) EDIT “Timoner combines candid observations with dynamic montages and a compelling soundtrack to compress complex issues, decades of civil rights history, and the traumatic events of several years into a cogent appeal for understanding and action. ” – Arts Fuse Nov 3, 2025 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 90% EDIT “Wordy and well-acted, often entertaining and occasionally enlightening.” – Arts Fuse Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% EDIT “It is, like some other realizations of longtime cinema dreams, alternately magnificent, stunning, provocative, over-produced, exhausting, and fatuous.” – Arts Fuse Oct 28, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% EDIT “A House of Dynamite wants to tantalize us with a nightmare from which there is no escape in order to distract us, briefly, from the ongoing disasters that we are compelled to face and overcome” – Arts Fuse Oct 14, 2025 Full Review Tiananmen Tonight (2025) EDIT “Cram and Streissguth combine riveting archival footage and illuminating interviews with those involved, including Rather and other CBS personnel as well as student participants in the struggle. ” – Arts Fuse Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Budapest Diaries (2024) EDIT “This is essential viewing at a time when such a nightmare, supposedly relegated to the past, has become all too plausible.” – Arts Fuse Oct 6, 2025 Full Review B.F. Skinner Plays Himself (2025) EDIT “Drawing on archival footage and outtakes and clips from an unreleased 1975 documentary profile, Kennedy not only critiques Skinner’s ideas but also deconstructs the documentary genre itself and its capacity for presenting objective truth.” – Arts Fuse Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Democracy Noir (2024) EDIT “Infuriating and inspiring.” – Arts Fuse Sep 29, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% EDIT “Anderson seems to be taking on some of the most divisive issues of our time but only to exploit them.” – Arts Fuse Sep 29, 2025 Full Review To Sleep With Anger (1990) 93% EDIT “Subtly structured, metaphorically elegant, shrewdly balanced, and richly performed, To Sleep with Anger is [Charles Burnett's] masterpiece.” – Boston Phoenix Sep 25, 2025 Full Review I Am Night at Noonday (2025) EDIT “Uneven but at times inspired.” – Arts Fuse Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Shifting Baselines (2025) EDIT “Absurd and nightmarish.” – Arts Fuse Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Remaining Native (2025) 100% EDIT “Compelling and inspiring.” – Arts Fuse Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Always (2025) EDIT “Chen’s style is luminously dreamlike. ” – Arts Fuse Sep 10, 2025 Full Review
