The Sun Rises on Us All (2025) 79% B- EDIT “Shangjun’s China is not a happy or a healthy place. Nor are his characters. But good people rarely make for good movies.” – IndieWire Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Scarlet (2025) 71% C+ EDIT “Despite bloody violence throughout, “Scarlet” lacks the edge that would make this culture clash of seminal western tale and Japanese art form as memorable or significant as it ought to be.” – IndieWire Sep 4, 2025 Full Review In the Hand of Dante (2025) 43% D+ EDIT “It’s not clear how seriously we’re supposed to take Tosches’ loose-change takes, but they’re tedious to hear and tediously presented.” – AwardsWatch Sep 3, 2025 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% B+ EDIT “[The film] feels like a quintessentially Korean movie: nervous about what happens when the family structure breaks down, skeptical about American hegemony, still haunted by its damaging wars with the North and a failure to reach a common understanding.” – AwardsWatch Aug 29, 2025 Full Review Orphan (2025) 63% B+ EDIT “As with “Son of Saul” and “Sunset,” this is a sophisticated endeavor and, in craft terms, a level above the norm.” – IndieWire Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Ghost Elephants (2025) 100% B EDIT “Ghost Elephants is a consistently entertaining and thought-provoking look at a quest for the elusive, and why we bother.” – AwardsWatch Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Sleepless City (2025) 86% B+ EDIT “The bulldozers will continue to rid Europe’s great cities of the little-known Roma neighborhoods on their outskirts, but films like “Sleepless City” will help them be remembered for years to come.” – IndieWire May 20, 2025 Full Review Late Shift (2025) 97% C+ EDIT “If only Late Shift had more of a story and was eager to spend longer with its characters, it might make use of its solid lead performance and claustrophobic setting. But its attempt to preach runs cold and only shines a light on what might’ve been.” – IndieWire Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Sukkwan Island (2025) 46% C EDIT “De Fontenay has undoubtedly chosen a good story to tell. And it’s good that more readers may now discover Vann’s wonderful book. But “Sukkwan Island” feels most like an opportunity missed.” – IndieWire Jan 26, 2025 Full Review Mistress Dispeller (2024) 95% B EDIT “Wang’s challenge in navigating this particular affair that make Mistress Dispeller compelling in the latter stages, and give it the air of a Poirot novel in which he inevitably learns about “the way we treat each other” in the process of solving a case.” – AwardsWatch Sep 8, 2024 Full Review Pavements (2024) 95% B+ EDIT “It’s a reminder that the fourth (and fifth and sixth) wall can be smashed, that the rock doc can be reinvented. And that when the message is meta for meta’s sake, why not make the medium that way, too?” – IndieWire Sep 5, 2024 Full Review The Other Way Around (2024) 91% B EDIT “In posing substantive questions about the nature of romance and relationships, it’s smarter than virtually any American studio romantic comedy of recent years.” – IndieWire May 20, 2024 Full Review When The Light Breaks (2024) 97% B EDIT “All involved are doing good, meaningful work with a simple script and a story that explains little.” – IndieWire May 16, 2024 Full Review Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger (2024) 99% B- EDIT “It ends up a stellar example of what in Britain would play on BBC Four: polite, rarely profound, and packed with facts. It’s unable to channel the essence of what made Powell and Pressburger’s films unforgettable. Sadly, it’s not really trying.” – IndieWire Mar 7, 2024 Full Review Dahomey (2024) 97% B EDIT “For those who know little about the subject matter, “Dahomey” is a bold and memorable history lesson. But with Diop’s expressive talents as they are, it’s fair to hope that she returns to the world of fiction next time.” – IndieWire Feb 19, 2024 Full Review Suspended Time (2024) 66% C+ EDIT “Its over-reliance on pandemic rituals stops it from being able to explore its deeper feelings in a full way, and places it in a genre that no one seems able to crack. Maybe it’s time to stop trying.” – IndieWire Feb 18, 2024 Full Review Cuckoo (2024) 79% C- EDIT “It’s easier to laugh at... than it is to enjoy.” – IndieWire Feb 16, 2024 Full Review Kneecap (2024) 96% B EDIT “A sharp and well-made comedy with a better drama glued on the side.” – IndieWire Jan 19, 2024 Full Review Green Border (2023) 94% B EDIT “Its three narratives never fully work together, even as they begin to interlink. Its moments of true emotional poignancy work well, but are all too rare in a film that otherwise has plenty to say.” – IndieWire Sep 5, 2023 Full Review The Universal Theory (2023) 71% B+ EDIT “The first act of The Theory of Everything is straightforward enough, but as its story becomes less and less grounded in the laws of physics we know, Kroeger does an excellent job to keep us onboard. ” – AwardsWatch Sep 4, 2023 Full Review The Killer (2023) 85% B+ EDIT “The Killer is almost a B-movie, committing to the trappings of its genre and embracing schlockiness like previous Fincher films Panic Room and The Game. Nothing wrong with that. ” – AwardsWatch Sep 3, 2023 Full Review The Featherweight (2023) 81% B+ EDIT “It’s as nifty as its warts-and-all protagonist, with an inventive verité storytelling style inspired by John Cassavettes that also evokes the era’s filmmaking.” – IndieWire Sep 3, 2023 Full Review One From the Heart (1982) 50% B EDIT “It’s the sheer commitment to artificiality that makes One from the Heart an important inspiration for the modern musical, even while it stares backward.” – IndieWire Sep 1, 2023 Full Review The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (2023) 95% B+ EDIT “[Richard] Ayoade is probably the strongest of the new entrants to Anderson’s ensemble, hiding seamlessly behind disguises in multiple roles and grasping the silent-era style of Anderson’s favored physical comedy.” – AwardsWatch Sep 1, 2023 Full Review Ferrari (2023) 73% A- EDIT “Mann’s craft on Ferrari is, overall, a seamless update of his usual quirks after almost a decade away. ” – AwardsWatch Aug 31, 2023 Full Review
