Downhill Racer (1969) 85% 7/10 EDIT “[Downhill Racer] features lots of abrupt cuts spanning big jumps in time and place, with a minimum of connecting material, while interactions among characters are stripped down to their shortest possible length...” – TheArtsStl Jan 24, 2026 Full Review This Is Spinal Tap (1984) 98% 8/10 EDIT “"Treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry," as one reviewer within the film puts it, pretty much sums up the band. The real joke is that they don’t get it.” – TheArtsStl Jan 17, 2026 Full Review Mississippi Masala (1991) 92% 7/10 EDIT “[Cinematographer Ed] Lachman distinguished the two worlds of Mississippi Masala—Uganda and Mississippi—through his choice of lenses and film stock...” – TheArtsStl Jan 3, 2026 Full Review The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) 95% 9/10 EDIT “Prepare to have your heart broken in Kaouther Ben Hania’s drama, a marvel of minimalist filmmaking shot with handheld cameras...” – TheArtsStl Dec 29, 2025 Full Review The River (1951) 92% 7/10 EDIT “The Technicolor cinematography by Claude Renoir (son of actor Pierre, nephew of director Jean, grandson of painter Pierre-August) is a big part of what makes this film work... ” – TheArtsStl Dec 27, 2025 Full Review Spellbound (1945) 86% 6/10 EDIT “You can feel the conflict between producer David O. Selznick and director Alfred Hitchcock from the opening credits...” – TheArtsStl Dec 20, 2025 Full Review The Seventh Victim (1943) 96% 8/10 EDIT “The great strength of The Seventh Victim lies in its ability to create a mood, from the oily elegance of the Satanists to a terrifying trip on the New York subway and an equally terrifying night walk through Greenwich Village.” – TheArtsStl Dec 13, 2025 Full Review La llorona (2019) 96% 8/10 EDIT “Jayro Bustamente’s La Llorona draws on [the] folk tale but infuses it with political meaning (which is made explicit in the song played over the final credits).” – TheArtsStl Dec 6, 2025 Full Review The Uninvited (1944) 95% 7/10 EDIT “The Uninvited is the kind of film that offers something for everyone: a tense ghost story, a mystery to be solved, melodramatic action sequences, a lesbian subplot that requires a bit of interpretation to recognize, goofy comic interludes...” – TheArtsStl Nov 29, 2025 Full Review Carl Th. Dreyer: My Metier (1995) 6/10 EDIT “...Carl Th. Dreyer: My Metier doesn’t offer a deep analysis of Dreyer’s films or his method, but it can serve as a useful introduction to the man and his work. ” – TheArtsStl Nov 22, 2025 Full Review The Tales of Hoffmann (1951) 86% 8/10 EDIT “There’s nothing naturalistic about The Tales of Hoffmann—instead, everything is as theatrical and fantastic as it can be, and each section is introduced by turning the pages of a program naming the setting, characters and cast...” – TheArtsStl Nov 15, 2025 Full Review She Runs the World (2025) 6/10 EDIT “For the first part of her career, Felix was a professional athlete sponsored by Nike. All her success meant nothing when she tried to renegotiate her contract to include pregnancy protections, however...” – TheArtsStl Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Spare My Bones, Coyote! (2025) 7/10 EDIT “...follows the efforts of Marisela and Ely Ortiz [who work] with the volunteer organization Las Aguilas del Desierto (The Eagles of the Desert) whose specialty is finding the bodies of those who perish in the desert and returning them to their families.” – TheArtsStl Nov 14, 2025 Full Review The Track (2025) 7/10 EDIT “The young men are engaging and their coach is a model of determination, but you know they’re going up against long odds. ” – TheArtsStl Nov 13, 2025 Full Review The Gas Station Attendant (2025) 7/10 EDIT “Despite the intensely personal nature of The Gas Station Attendant, Murthy maintains a sense of calm while exploring her past...” – TheArtsStl Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Underland (2025) 100% 6/10 EDIT “Underland weaves folk beliefs around its present-day stories, creating a narrative that’s bigger than just the conscious and straightforward human world. ” – TheArtsStl Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Notorious (1946) 96% 8/10 EDIT “Notorious is a technical marvel, as is the case for many of Hitchcock’s films, but the special effects are the kind meant to remain hidden rather than call attention to themselves...” – TheArtsStl Nov 8, 2025 Full Review Remaining Native (2025) 100% 8/10 EDIT “Remaining Native succeeds at two different goals: it’s a sensitive appreciation of Native American culture including the continuing impact of the residential schools on that culture. It’s also a great sports movie.” – TheArtsStl Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Tow (2025) 100% 8/10 EDIT “The hair and makeup department, led by Sarit Klein and Pamela May, also deserve a shoutout for how realistically the shifts in Amanda’s fortunes can be read on her face.” – TheArtsStl Nov 7, 2025 Full Review WTO/99 (2025) 83% 7/10 EDIT “The uneven quality of the source material gives the documentary a handmade feel, and that feels true to the protests: there’s no central authority running things...” – TheArtsStl Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Fiend Without a Face (1958) 69% 6/10 EDIT “Fiend Without a Face is an enjoyable B-picture and interesting as a window into what was on people’s minds in 1958. ” – TheArtsStl Nov 1, 2025 Full Review Ballad of a Soldier (1959) 94% 7/10 EDIT “Ballad of a Soldier is less a war film and more a film set in wartime. ” – TheArtsStl Oct 25, 2025 Full Review The Summer Book (2024) 83% 6/10 EDIT “The pace is unhurried, matching the feel of reading the novel The Summer Book, but the film feels talkier and more heavy-handed, as if it feels the need to deliver life lessons directly to the audience rather than letting them emerge.” – TheArtsStl Oct 21, 2025 Full Review The Hit (1984) 89% 6/10 EDIT “Stamp’s performance is the best thing in this film: he’s hilarious as an informer giving testimony, brutal in the flashbacks to his earlier days, and projects nothing but serenity in the present day...” – TheArtsStl Oct 18, 2025 Full Review The Third Man (1949) 99% 9/10 EDIT “...The Third Man is a banquet that offers so much of everything that you will never run out of things to enjoy within it, even as you may have already had too much of some other things it offers. ” – TheArtsStl Oct 11, 2025 Full Review
