Beyond the Aggressives: 25 Years Later (2023) 100% EDIT “In each of these updates, Peddle hews close to his original film’s style: he asks his subjects to define themselves and then he keeps watching, letting their actions color in the lines of their self-definition.” – New York Times Nov 17, 2023 Full Review Plan C (2023) 96% EDIT “The risks involved are bracingly apparent, and the documentary benefits from its attempts to capture Plan C’s high-stakes operation in progress.” – New York Times Oct 12, 2023 Full Review Nowhere (2023) 71% EDIT “It’s hard to care about Mía’s efforts to survive when coincidence drives the plot, and the production looks and feels cheap.” – New York Times Sep 28, 2023 Full Review Invisible Beauty (2023) 100% EDIT “At times, the film is hampered by the sheer amount of information there is to condense from across a 50-year career, but Hardison is never less than a fascinating subject — an artist whose medium is industrial disruption.” – New York Times Sep 14, 2023 Full Review You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah (2023) 91% EDIT “The young cast proves deft with the film’s clever script, by Alison Peck (based on the 2005 novel by Fiona Rosenbloom), and the director Sammi Cohen indulges the virgin-mojito passions of preteens while avoiding nostalgia, thankfully.” – New York Times Aug 25, 2023 Full Review Mutt (2023) 89% EDIT “Features of city life feed a sense of realism, as does the film’s warmly-lit and intimately framed cinematography. But that realism here is exhausting, even if it is well-intentioned...” – New York Times Aug 17, 2023 Full Review Aurora's Sunrise (2022) 100% EDIT “The film’s coherence is a reflection of both the skill of the filmmaker, and the heroic efforts of Aurora herself to ensure that her view of history would not be forgotten.” – New York Times Aug 10, 2023 Full Review KOKOMO CITY (2023) 99% EDIT “This is not a maudlin film; instead it is a movie with heroines who fight tooth and nail for their lives and their self-worth.” – New York Times Jul 27, 2023 Full Review Every Body (2023) 98% EDIT “The film benefits from its choice of subjects, as Wall, Gallo and Weigel are all endearing and deeply informed. Their candor animates the unimaginative talking head interview footage from the director Julie Cohen.” – New York Times Jun 29, 2023 Full Review Blue Jean (2022) 96% EDIT “The film’s writer and director, Georgia Oakley, has made an accomplished movie in many ways.” – New York Times Jun 8, 2023 Full Review We Might as Well Be Dead (2022) 88% EDIT “The images are artfully crafted, but the narrative lacks momentum.” – New York Times May 25, 2023 Full Review Monica (2022) 84% EDIT “Director Andrea Pallaoro doesn’t burden this delicate tale of reconciliation with long monologues or extensive back stories, and the performances are compelling in their restraint.” – New York Times May 11, 2023 Full Review Chile '76 (2022) 91% EDIT “Martelli’s film demonstrates remarkable skill in reconstructing he time period, giving consideration both to recreating the appearance of the era and its emotional tenor.” – New York Times May 4, 2023 Full Review T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets (2022) 91% EDIT “Fiennes brings the fire, yet the air around him remains unmoved, even by his embers.” – New York Times Apr 27, 2023 Full Review Twilight (1990) 93% EDIT “It’s a style so minimalist, it approaches maximalism — and this combination of pulp and precision creates an arresting and unique work of film noir.” – New York Times Apr 20, 2023 Full Review On a Wing and a Prayer (2023) 16% EDIT “It’s a cynical view of faith, one which removes the mystery and terror from life’s unforeseen calamities, and instead frames survival as a matter of calling into the correct belief system.” – New York Times Apr 6, 2023 Full Review I'm an Electric Lampshade (2021) 57% EDIT “The documentary hides the financial costs, physical tolls and even artistic philosophy, leaving only an exercise in ego.” – New York Times Mar 29, 2023 Full Review Wildflower (2022) 60% EDIT ““Wildflower” is a nervy sit, a movie that eventually makes its way toward acceptance, but only after putting its disabled characters through the trial of dehumanizing questions.” – New York Times Mar 16, 2023 Full Review The Year Between (2022) 75% EDIT “This lived-in quality to the filmmaking supports equally relaxed performances from both veteran and emerging actors, making for an even-keeled and easy viewing experience.” – New York Times Mar 2, 2023 Full Review Lonesome (2022) 94% EDIT ““Lonesome” demonstrates a mature use of sex in cinema, a treatment that communicates narrative purpose without diminishing sex’s animalistic, physical side.” – New York Times Feb 16, 2023 Full Review Sweetheart (2021) 100% EDIT “If “Sweetheart” shows its share of evergreen teenage turmoil, the writer and director Marley Morrison also cannily observes details that feel specific to young people today.” – New York Times Feb 9, 2023 Full Review Body Parts (2022) 87% EDIT “Ironically, the film mirrors the callow cinematic dynamics it critiques: It titillates, even as it scolds.” – New York Times Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Kompromat (2022) 73% EDIT “The politics confound the film’s sense of action; the camera sticks to the diplomats even after the protagonist has escaped from a back door.” – New York Times Jan 26, 2023 Full Review Nostalgia (2022) 89% EDIT “Martone’s depiction of crime is at once expressive and economic, a world of danger boiled down to pregnant pauses and minute gestures.” – New York Times Jan 26, 2023 Full Review The Seven Faces of Jane (2022) 36% EDIT “A movie that feels narratively scattered and stylistically inhibited.” – New York Times Jan 12, 2023 Full Review
