Spontaneous (2020) 96% B- EDIT “Spontaneous is a refreshing success (even when it stumbles) because it is full to the brim with heart, insight, and best of all, some genuine laughs that we all need right now.” – Collider Oct 13, 2020 Full Review Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016) 47% 1/5 EDIT “An excruciatingly long and tepid 107 minutes, a hollow pastiche of both the costume drama and the zombie movie.” – CineVue Apr 8, 2019 Full Review The Survivalist (2015) 96% 3/5 EDIT “Every frame is a loaded gun and its dead fun waiting for it all to go off.” – CineVue Apr 8, 2019 Full Review Backtrack (2015) 28% 3/5 EDIT “Backtrack plays as a tightly-wound drama working through themes of redemption and forgiveness. While it follows familiar genre beats, the work being done here is thoroughly engaging.” – CineVue Apr 8, 2019 Full Review Grandma (2015) 92% 3/5 EDIT “Grandma is utterly charming and Lily Tomlin proves that she is still the comic whipper-snapper we have always loved.” – CineVue Apr 8, 2019 Full Review Magic Mike XXL (2015) 66% 3/5 EDIT “Pure fun, plain and simple. A buddy road film for the ages, there's enough sexual innuendo to tide you over until next year, enough nervous giggles elicited to keep your mind wandering and plenty of good feelings that leave you wanting more.” – CineVue Apr 8, 2019 Full Review The Visit (2015) 67% 4/5 EDIT “For a film built completely on the discussion of hypothetical situations, this documentary is impressive and engrossing to a fault.” – CineVue Apr 8, 2019 Full Review Dan y Wenallt (2014) 35% 1/5 EDIT “In short: Under Milk Wood is a mess. At length: It is tone-deaf, sputtering on the fumes of Thomas's renown, hoping to make a proud entry into the author's canon.” – CineVue Apr 8, 2019 Full Review Miss Julie (2014) 54% 2/5 EDIT “Rife with mawkish histrionics and a thoroughly overwrought script, it's hard to maintain interest in what should be an intriguing watch.” – CineVue Apr 6, 2019 Full Review 45 Years (2015) 96% 4/5 EDIT “45 Years is arguably the most heartbreaking drama of the year, but it is worth every moment of sadness.” – CineVue Apr 6, 2019 Full Review Elephant Song (2014) 60% 3/5 EDIT “Elephant Song may be small in scope but it is big in its vision. It is a film that will keep your curiosity piqued, delivering on it premise to complete satisfaction.” – CineVue Apr 5, 2019 Full Review Ivy (2015) 67% 4/5 EDIT “This is a brilliant piece of filmmaking: quiet in tone but deeply unsettling and entirely engrossing.” – CineVue Apr 5, 2019 Full Review Boychoir (2014) 46% 3/5 EDIT “A lovely, hollow thing. Hoping to reap the rewards of otherwise fallow land in the arena of adolescent drama, this film is be best considered as a safe, warm family film.” – CineVue Apr 5, 2019 Full Review Astraea (2015) 100% 3/5 EDIT “A seriously intriguing piece of independent filmmaking that succeeds on this alchemy of catastrophe and renewal.” – CineVue Apr 5, 2019 Full Review Lee Scratch Perry's Vision of Paradise (2015) 40% 2/5 EDIT “It's a shame, but Vision of Paradise isn't really a vision of paradise at all. Rather, its a mish-mash of ideas, cobbled together by a filmmaker who is so enthralled with his subject that he failed to find coherence among the unbridled creativity.” – CineVue Apr 5, 2019 Full Review One Crazy Thing (2014) 3/5 EDIT “It's a nice slice of boilerplate rom-com that delivers on a simple plot and strong performances from its lead actors.” – CineVue Apr 5, 2019 Full Review Age of Kill (2015) 0% 1/5 EDIT “A film that fancies itself smarter than it is, but ultimately comes up short in all areas.” – CineVue Apr 5, 2019 Full Review The New Girlfriend (2014) 79% 4/5 EDIT “In The New Girlfriend, viewers are given a piece that walks the tightrope between drama and comedy, thriller and thinkpiece. This is a film that artfully ponders the process of grief while also finding rebirth from within.” – CineVue Apr 5, 2019 Full Review We Are Many (2014) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Powerful in its goals, complete in its presentation, this is a film that serves as a call to remembrance and a call for future action.” – CineVue Apr 5, 2019 Full Review The Supreme Price (2013) 100% 4/5 EDIT “The Supreme Price is a near perfect documentary. Meaty in its matter, deftly weaving together a number of complex issues that are distilled into perfectly digestible bites, this documentary is necessary viewing.” – CineVue Apr 5, 2019 Full Review Return to Sender (2015) 14% 1/5 EDIT “There is nothing that can save it, not even the star quality of Rosamund Pike herself. If only Return to Sender could itself be sent right back to the studio from whence it came.” – CineVue Apr 5, 2019 Full Review The Man Who Saved the World (2014) 68% 3/5 EDIT “The Man Who Saved the World's oddly conflicting styles creates a strange uncertainty -- making it hard to gauge precisely whether the narration is reliable, despite the fact that these are true events.” – CineVue Apr 5, 2019 Full Review The Emperor's New Clothes (2015) 60% 3/5 EDIT “Brand infuses dry wit into every moment. His non sequiturs are never non grata. Cutting together a thorough portrait of all those affected, this is a documentary that is hard to look away from.” – CineVue Apr 5, 2019 Full Review Kidnapping Mr. Heineken (2015) 19% 2/5 EDIT “It fails in the basic requirements of a heist movie: there's no planning, no camaraderie, no competency and worst of all, no thrills.” – CineVue Apr 4, 2019 Full Review Drone (2014) 94% 3/5 EDIT “Clinically-minded, touching on all the landmines of technicality embedded within its subject, this is a film that seeks to punch above its weight.” – CineVue Apr 4, 2019 Full Review
