The Wild Robot (2024) 97% EDIT “{The] heartwarming story... is amplified by the film’s truly stunning animation. Almost every scene is as painterly and impressionistic as the messy, unguarded emotions its characters (and the audience) will come to feel. ” – In Review Online Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Off Ramp (2023) 100% EDIT “When the film ends at the Gathering, Silas about to get on stage with his chosen family at his side, more than a few audience members might find themselves newly down with the clown.” – In Review Online Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Kneecap (2024) 96% EDIT “Thanks to Kneecap, Irish people can now hear some self-professed “low-life scum” tell their stories in their own tongue, and maybe inspire others to do the same.” – In Review Online Aug 1, 2024 Full Review Eno (2024) 97% EDIT “The result is as ingenious as the person Eno celebrates, and as beautifully ephemeral as the music for which he’s known.” – In Review Online Aug 1, 2024 Full Review Babes (2024) 87% EDIT “Babes is a celebration of their resilience as individuals and the time, effort, and love each has poured into their shared life” – In Review Online May 16, 2024 Full Review The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (2023) 95% EDIT “A children’s tale and a trifle, but Anderson has found a way to deliver a sophisticated, self-assured, and endlessly charming adaptation that would make Imdad Khan proud — even if he was blindfolded in the back row.” – In Review Online Sep 27, 2023 Full Review A Haunting in Venice (2023) 76% EDIT “[Poignant moments are] liable to get lost between the film's catalog of jump scares and other predictable devices. But with spooky season just around the corner... A Haunting in Venice might be just what the (shell-shocked) doctor ordered.” – In Review Online Sep 11, 2023 Full Review The Pod Generation (2023) 43% EDIT “Barthes raises questions around feminism, gender, and the role of technology without feeling compelled to execute a checklist of answers.” – In Review Online Aug 7, 2023 Full Review The Beanie Bubble (2023) 46% EDIT “Despite its unimpeachable cast, [the film] is too aware of its own moral standing to ever find any interesting footing, though it will likely prove an entertaining enough diversion for plenty of viewers as a nostalgia vehicle... ” – In Review Online Jul 24, 2023 Full Review The Jewel Thief (2023) 86% EDIT “Audiences hankering for a new James Bond film can tide themselves over with Landon Van Soest’s The Jewel Thief, an engaging true crime documentary and character study of the criminal prodigy Gerald Daniel Blanchard. ” – In Review Online Jul 15, 2023 Full Review Happy Clothes: A Film About Patricia Field (2023) EDIT “Given the current obsession with “quiet luxury” and prestige labels’ insistence on peddling endless swathes of five-figure beige, what’s more flattering than exuberant colors, riotous patterns, and unabashed joy?” – In Review Online Jun 17, 2023 Full Review Blue Jean (2022) 96% EDIT “Given the current state of being queer in America, in which record-breaking visibility seems inversely proportional to having actual rights, the inner reserve of courage Jean eventually taps into resonates all the more powerfully.” – In Review Online Jun 9, 2023 Full Review Renfield (2023) 58% EDIT “This tension between competing tonalities makes Renfield consistently entertaining but undeniably uneven... But Cage and company are so clearly having the time of their (undead) lives with the material that it feels petty to quibble too much.” – In Review Online Apr 17, 2023 Full Review The Other Fellow (2022) 93% EDIT “At a brisk 80 minutes, Bauer and co-writer Rene van Pannevis let the Bonds speak for themselves, and even return to Fleming and his unwitting collaborator, the ornithologist who started it all.” – In Review Online Feb 17, 2023 Full Review Eileen (2023) 81% EDIT “Eileen’s narrative beats thrum with a current of dark, unflinching sensuality... This, combined with Richard Reed Parry’s menacing and dissonant score, imbues that otherwise jolly time of year with a pure menace.” – In Review Online Feb 4, 2023 Full Review Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis) (2022) 92% EDIT “For those who’ve ever lit a doobie and stared at Pink Floyd’s cover art with glazed eyes, wondering what it all means, man, rejoice: Anton Corbijn’s documentary... will engulf classic rock fans and design junkies alike in a haze of cheerful nostalgia. ” – In Review Online Jan 28, 2023 Full Review Bad Axe (2022) 96% EDIT “Bad Axe, David Siev’s feature-length documentary debut, avoids contrived melodrama by focusing on his family’s struggles in real-time, leading to a deeply intimate and heartfelt portrait of resilience and principled struggle.” – In Review Online Nov 17, 2022 Full Review Nothing Lasts Forever (2022) 100% EDIT “Jason Kohn’s zippy new documentary Nothing Lasts Forever is a playful and thought-provoking exposé on the multibillion-dollar industry, populated with entertaining interview subjects and an inquisitive score.” – In Review Online Nov 11, 2022 Full Review Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams (2020) 78% EDIT “The cumulative effect [of the interviews and narration] is pleasant and informative, but perhaps less balanced than Ferragamo himself would have liked.” – In Review Online Nov 9, 2022 Full Review The School for Good and Evil (2022) 38% EDIT “This bland, reductive slog is such a bore that even casual fantasy fans are better off whisking themselves back to Hogwarts for the millionth time.” – In Review Online Oct 21, 2022 Full Review Summit Fever (2022) 33% EDIT “Summit Fever dabbles in adventure, disaster, and romance but is entirely lacking in emotional depth or nuance, resulting in a cheesy, overlong mess that indulges in exactly the cheap climbing clichés better directors have taken pains to avoid. ” – In Review Online Oct 11, 2022 Full Review See How They Run (2022) 75% EDIT “[See How They Run is] a winding exercise in controlled chaos, where the most direct route to the center might require skirting the periphery rather than plunging in headfirst.” – In Review Online Sep 13, 2022 Full Review Claydream (2021) 93% EDIT “With their dreamlike imaginative flourishes and stunning fluidity, these clips showcase Vinton’s artistic vision more accurately than anything a talking head could possibly put into words.” – In Review Online Sep 1, 2022 Full Review Thirteen Lives (2022) 85% EDIT “Maybe the producers know that viewers looking for a more contemplative retelling can find that version elsewhere. For whatever reason, Howard lets his film’s leads remain as murky as the rising floodwaters. ” – In Review Online Jul 29, 2022 Full Review Queen of Glory (2021) 91% EDIT “Actress and first-time director Nana Mensah is entirely believable as an overwhelmed young woman who’s a fish out of water in her own culture” – In Review Online Jul 14, 2022 Full Review
