Manakamana (2013) 96% A EDIT “It's hard to describe the passions and joys that Manakamana manages to cohere while celebrating its world.” – The Film Stage Jun 28, 2016 Full Review The Strange Little Cat (2013) 80% B+ EDIT “A feature that will require multiple viewings, but ones which will pass by briskly and pleasurably so.” – The Film Stage Jun 27, 2016 Full Review After Tiller (2013) 92% B EDIT “Engaging and thoughtful, After Tiller's examination of its main subjects forms a documentary that wisely treats its subject with more curiosity than dogma.” – The Film Stage Jun 23, 2016 Full Review Grace of Monaco (2014) 10% C- EDIT “A mostly harmless and occasionally offensive affair that purports a "fictional account" of a true story.” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review Timbuktu (2014) 98% B+ EDIT “Abderrahmane Sissako can no longer be called one of the greatest African directors of our time; he has become, simply, one of the greatest directors of our time.” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review Mr. Turner (2014) 96% B EDIT “Leigh's camera searches this world through slow and ponderous movements, every gesture by an actor as carefully calculated as the forceful actions Turner throws onto his canvases.” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review The Captive (2014) 28% D+ EDIT “Aggressively stupid when it's not downright illogical, it is hard to imagine a film less deserving for a competition slot at this year's Cannes than The Captive, a subpar Law & Order episode at best.” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review Winter Sleep (2014) 87% B+ EDIT “Winter Sleep progresses Ceylan's ever-evolving narrative and aesthetic strategy into what proves his most emotional and dramatic work.” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review The Homesman (2014) 81% C EDIT “If Jones wants to become a great director of a dying genre, he cannot simply hope to mimic what the masters did. He must instead explore the meaning of each image he creates.” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review Welcome to New York (2014) 77% B+ EDIT “Welcome to New York is a bold, sometimes absurdly funny, and often-horrifying look into the Dominique Strauss-Kahn affair.” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review National Gallery (2014) 95% B EDIT “As National Gallery/ will show, paintings can communicate many things to many different people, and this latest institution makes for a unique look at the role of art in public life.” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review Saint Laurent (2014) 63% C+ EDIT “A flashy and intermittently unique biopic.” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review Foxcatcher (2014) 88% B+ EDIT “There is an unspoken emptiness that hangs boldly over Foxcatcher, which is sure to be one of the subtly darkest films made by a major Hollywood studio this year.” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review Maps to the Stars (2014) 63% B- EDIT “Something of a fascinating misfire, still shot and edited with the precise authority that has defined Cronenberg's recent period, but jumbled in the search for narrative control and originality.” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review Jauja (2014) 88% B EDIT “[A] strange, beguiling, and excitedly didactic film.” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review Amour fou (2014) 88% A EDIT “The Austrian director's sixth film is ecstatically original: a work of film-history-philosophy with a digital-cinema palette of acutely crafted compositions.” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review Two Days One Night (2014) 96% A- EDIT “What separates Two Days, One Night from just another tale of a poor woman in desperate need is that the Dardennes have also, rather subtly, rendered a stunning portrait of marriage on the brink.” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review Lost River (2014) 30% D EDIT “Lost River is little more than "cool shots, bro."” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review The Search (2014) 20% C- EDIT “The Search has a lot of passion behind it, but little in terms of craft.” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review Goodbye to Language (2014) 88% EDIT “Language is gone. The new cinema has arrived.” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review Hard to Be a God (2013) 95% A- EDIT “Hard to Be a God is the perfection of the director's long-take approach, likely to remain unmatched for years to come.” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review The Tale of the Princess Kaguya (2013) 100% B- EDIT “In an era where anime films seem to blend into each other aesthetically, Takahata's impressions seems marvelously alive - its modesty in images makes them feel as if they're being created before our very eyes.” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review Clouds of Sils Maria (2014) 91% B- EDIT “Clouds of Sils Maria shows how it is not the movies that change, but how perception of art itself changes.” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review Leviathan (2014) 97% B EDIT “Zvyagintsev has craftedLeviathan with the most sublimated of directing, letting each scene play out with a quiet, methodic use of pace and performance.” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review Mommy (2014) 89% C- EDIT “In Mommy, Dolan has essentially stunted his work, speaking both figuratively and literally.” – The Film Stage Jun 6, 2016 Full Review
