The Servant (1963) 90% EDIT “The viewer is left with not only a portrait of the haves and the have-nots, but a glimpse of what such social stratification provokes -- an all-consuming madness as powerful as it is hidden.” – Village Voice Apr 8, 2020 Full Review A Christmas Tale (2008) 86% EDIT “A Christmas Tale has bountiful charm in the first leg of the film, mainly because it is able to take a lovely, dry wit to its characters' bitterness.” – MUBI Dec 13, 2017 Full Review 1001 Grams (2014) 82% EDIT “This portrait of an introverted soul brought out of her shell is not without its charms.” – Village Voice May 5, 2015 Full Review In the Courtyard (2014) 71% EDIT “Thoroughly nonjudgmental in its observations, Pierre Salvadori's In the Courtyard ranks as one of the funnier films about victims of depression and mental illness.” – Village Voice Apr 7, 2015 Full Review Ned Rifle (2015) 78% EDIT “Hartley's humor and intellectual musings are, as always, fully present, but by anchoring them to a genuinely compelling story of familial retribution, he's made his best film in years.” – Village Voice Mar 31, 2015 Full Review Boychoir (2014) 46% EDIT “Hoffman, naturally, makes his character interesting in the way that genius actors always do. Yet the film's storytelling struggles to match his level of skill.” – Village Voice Mar 31, 2015 Full Review La Sapienza (2014) 88% EDIT “A picture that balances heart and mind with nuance.” – Village Voice Mar 17, 2015 Full Review Ballet 422 (2014) 91% EDIT “Ballet 422 is more visually sumptuous than most narratives you're likely to see this year, featuring careful compositions that make watching the film an aesthetic experience as much as an intellectual one.” – Village Voice Feb 3, 2015 Full Review Something, Anything (2014) 93% EDIT “A perspicacious examining of intimate moments, Paul Harrill's Something, Anything artfully circumnavigates narrative expectations in the manner of only the most thoughtful stories.” – Village Voice Jan 7, 2015 Full Review If You Don't, I Will (2014) 74% EDIT “Perceptive and subtle almost to a fault, Sophie Fillires's If You Don't, I Will gingerly metes out insights against their dramatic payoffs.” – Village Voice Dec 16, 2014 Full Review The Passionate Thief (1960) 100% EDIT “While the madcap adventures provide plenty of entertainment, it's Monicelli's sympathetic portrait of complex individuals ... that wins viewers over.” – Village Voice Dec 2, 2014 Full Review Late Phases (2014) 60% EDIT “The narrative ends up working in a smaller scope than one might expect given the premise of a beast plaguing a community, but the journey getting to the finish is exhilarating all the same.” – Village Voice Nov 18, 2014 Full Review 4 Moons (2014) 86% EDIT “Overlook [its] distracting formal missteps ... and you may find a film that engenders resonant empathy.” – Village Voice Nov 18, 2014 Full Review Plastic (2014) 14% EDIT “For a film with shootouts, heists, and high-speed chases, Julian Gilbey's Plastic is a strangely lifeless affair.” – Village Voice Sep 23, 2014 Full Review This Is Where I Leave You (2014) 45% EDIT “The most charitable thing you can say about This Is Where I Leave You is that it is resolutely innocuous - a nothing of a movie, neutered and sanitary.” – Village Voice Sep 16, 2014 Full Review Tracks (2013) 83% EDIT “Primarily a striking sensory relation of the sounds, smells, and feel of dragging oneself through an endless stretch of terrain not designed for human comfort.” – Village Voice Sep 16, 2014 Full Review Honeymoon (2014) 76% EDIT “Achieves emotional resonance due to how effectively it joins its source of horror with the stuff of everyday human anxieties.” – Village Voice Sep 9, 2014 Full Review Abuse of Weakness (2013) 86% EDIT “Breillat's impressive film is a study of bodies and how we carry them, and it explores the manner in which weakness seeks out strength on an almost primal level, bypassing the higher modes of human thought.” – Village Voice Aug 12, 2014 Full Review 4 Minute Mile (2014) 23% EDIT “4 Minute Mile is cobbled together with every sports underdog clich imaginable.” – Village Voice Jul 29, 2014 Full Review The Kill Team (2013) 91% EDIT “Finds drama in evenhanded storytelling that is the inverse of its characters' emotional shakiness.” – Village Voice Jul 22, 2014 Full Review The Empty Hours (2013) 86% EDIT “A studied, coming-of-age narrative that makes a familiar tale sing.” – Village Voice Jul 8, 2014 Full Review The Grand Seduction (2013) 60% EDIT “The Grand Seduction feels made for Netflix's Watch Instantly feature - pleasant enough, but mostly forgotten with your next selection.” – Village Voice May 27, 2014 Full Review Ai Weiwei: The Fake Case (2013) 93% EDIT “In spite of the intermittent frustrations ... Weiwei remains a captivating figure.” – Village Voice May 13, 2014 Full Review Beneath the Harvest Sky (2013) 62% EDIT “Gaudet and Pullapilly have a background in documentaries, and there's a convincing naturalism to their storytelling.” – Village Voice Apr 29, 2014 Full Review Last Passenger (2013) 86% EDIT “While Last Passenger is a campy B-movie, it possesses greater aesthetic aspirations, and the film's stylistic ambition is ultimately what makes it an entertaining ride.” – Village Voice Apr 22, 2014 Full Review
