Nomadland (2020) 93% 8.5/10 EDIT “Chloé Zhao and Frances McDormand combine for a heartfelt adventure through the American West in a tale brimming with life and empathy.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 16, 2020 Full Review One Night in Miami (2020) 98% 6.5/10 EDIT “One Night In Miami is a fascinating evocation of time and place that should've done more to tease out its contradictions through action.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 15, 2020 Full Review Cicada (2020) 95% 8/10 EDIT “Cicada is an affecting depiction of an interracial gay relationship that effectively navigates themes of trauma and intersectionality.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 14, 2020 Full Review Wolfwalkers (2020) 99% 8/10 EDIT “Wolfwalkers is a must-watch for fans of hand-drawn animation and a beautiful labour of love from start to finish.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 13, 2020 Full Review Irradiated (2020) 100% 8/10 EDIT “The only documentary in the Berlinale Competition, the devastating Irradiés more than deserves its inclusionc” – Cultured Vultures Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Berlin Alexanderplatz (2020) 47% 8/10 EDIT “Burhan Qurbani's Berlin Alexanderplatz breathes fresh air into the classic tale with his diverse, topically relevant remake.” – Cultured Vultures Feb 28, 2020 Full Review DAU. Natasha (2020) 85% 9.5/10 EDIT “DAU. Natasha is one of the best Russian-language films in years.” – Cultured Vultures Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020) 99% 7.5/10 EDIT “Never Rarely Sometimes Always is likely to provoke necessary debate across the USA and perhaps the rest of the world.” – Cultured Vultures Feb 27, 2020 Full Review Welcome to Chechnya (2020) 100% 9/10 EDIT “Welcome To Chechnya is a harrowing experience, but also an invigorating one, keenly capturing the amazing work of LGBT activists in Chechnya.” – Cultured Vultures Feb 27, 2020 Full Review Saudi Runaway (2020) 83% 7/10 EDIT “While dragging a little in the middle, it is a fascinating portrayal of survival, and hopefully a precursor of a female-led revolution against all places still stuck in the stone age when it comes to women's rights.” – Cultured Vultures Feb 26, 2020 Full Review Servants (2020) 96% 7/10 EDIT “Servants offers both a fascinating insight into the conflicts of the era while managing to bring out the universal struggle between doing what's right and what's comfortable.” – Cultured Vultures Feb 26, 2020 Full Review Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets (2020) 93% 5/10 EDIT “Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets does a great job of evoking a classic American bar atmosphere, but it cannot successfully add up to anything truly significant.” – Cultured Vultures Feb 25, 2020 Full Review Exile (2020) 91% 6/10 EDIT “It's one thing to gaslight your characters, but there's no need to gaslight your audience, too.” – Cultured Vultures Feb 24, 2020 Full Review The Assistant (2019) 93% 8/10 EDIT “A harrowing look at sexual misconduct at the workplace, The Assistant is sure to start a lot of conversations about how abuse can be normalised.” – Cultured Vultures Feb 24, 2020 Full Review Father (2020) 100% 8/10 EDIT “A methodical analysis of corruption in Serbia, as well as a touching portrait of fatherhood, Otac is a supremely confident outing from director Srdan Golubovic.” – Cultured Vultures Feb 24, 2020 Full Review Swimming Out Till the Sea Turns Blue (2021) 73% 7/10 EDIT “Jia Zhang-ke offers a powerful, pastoral vision in Swimming Out Till The Sea Turns Blue, a fascinating look at his hometown of Fenyang.” – Cultured Vultures Feb 21, 2020 Full Review Long Day's Journey Into Night (2018) 95% EDIT “The camera movement feels purposeful and imbued with meaning, even when it's not obviously apparent. Credit has to go to Huang Jue, who anchors the film in real emotions of love and loss, doing some great acting with merely body movement alone.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Ray & Liz (2018) 94% EDIT “If the subject all sounds like doom and gloom, Ray & Liz offsets its depressing subject matter through empathy and humour.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 30, 2019 Full Review High Life (2018) 83% EDIT “It's so refreshing to see a medium budget movie that doesn't fix itself to just one meaning, but functions as a kind of blank template to pin one's own feelings on.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Blue My Mind (2017) 81% EDIT “As Brühlmann's first feature, there's a sense she's trying to lay on some things too thick (drugs! sex!) while being too relaxed with regards to narrative urgency. Nonetheless, Blue My Mind is a noble debut from the Zurich-born director.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Outlaw King (2018) 63% EDIT “It's a frustrating watch as there's probably a good movie in there somewhere. Perhaps Mackenzie should go back to the drawing board and cut another twenty minutes.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Roma (2018) 96% EDIT “The surround system is equally sublime, simulating action not seen on the screen, giving the film a transportive, immersive feel.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 29, 2019 Full Review Happy as Lazzaro (2018) 91% EDIT “Aided by excellent, incantational sound-mixing and wonderful unforced performances, Rorhwacher creates a recognisable and authentic vision of Italy miles apart, yet equally as fantastical, as that in Call Me By Your Name.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 29, 2019 Full Review To All the Boys I've Loved Before (2018) 96% EDIT “The resultant plot follows a style reminiscent of the Shakespeare-inspired Ten Things I Hate About You and She's All That, making To All The Boys I've Loved an enjoyable trip down the comedy-of-deception genre.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 29, 2019 Full Review 7/10 EDIT “Psychosia is a strong debut from Danish director Marie Grahtø Sørensen that cleverly blurs the lines between what is real and what is imagined.” – Cultured Vultures Sep 6, 2019 Full Review
