Prototype (2017) 100% EDIT “The stereoscope pictures are incredibly sharp, the 3D granting the post-apocalyptic landscapes a frightening immediacy.” – Hyperallergic Feb 8, 2020 Full Review Brillo Box (3 Cents Off) (2016) 88% EDIT “It feels slightly superficial, not delving especially deeply into any of its subjects and presenting a version of the (art) world scrubbed clean as if with a Brillo soap pad.” – Hyperallergic Feb 7, 2020 Full Review The B-Side: Elsa Dorfman's Portrait Photography (2016) 97% EDIT “A sweet film that, like an unshaken Polaroid, feels slightly underdeveloped.” – Hyperallergic Feb 7, 2020 Full Review Tom of Finland (2017) 83% EDIT “Karukoski's sensitive direction, which only occasionally gives way to cloying melodrama, offers a perfect platform for actor Pekka Strang to showcase his impressive range in the lead role.” – Hyperallergic Feb 6, 2020 Full Review Maurizio Cattelan: Be Right Back (2016) 86% EDIT “Here, the bait-and-switch keeps the informed viewer on high alert and adds a shade of suspicion to every legitimately insightful comment Gioni-as-Cattelan makes. It must also be noted that Gioni's performance is superb.” – Hyperallergic Feb 6, 2020 Full Review David Lynch: The Art Life (2016) 90% EDIT “This film... with its vivid biographical details, characteristically offbeat humor, and ponderous sequences of studio activity, seems destined to become an essential piece of Lynchelia.” – Hyperallergic Feb 5, 2020 Full Review Kedi (2016) 98% EDIT “It doesn't seem unjustly catty to expect that a film so much about a city recently rocked by protests, mass demonstrations, systemic crackdowns on basic human rights... should reflect rather than ignore those realities.” – Hyperallergic Feb 5, 2020 Full Review Eva Hesse (2016) 81% EDIT “The documentary immerses us in Hesse's inner monologue, lending great emotional depth and complexity to someone who was both very sensitive and very thoughtful.” – Hyperallergic Feb 4, 2020 Full Review Jellyfish Eyes (2013) 29% EDIT “The fantastical creatures Murakami designed for the film are its real stars. And in spite of the superflat format, he manages to address some deep-seated fears and traumas in what might otherwise feel like a by-the-numbers kids' movie.” – Hyperallergic Feb 3, 2020 Full Review Big Eyes (2014) 72% EDIT “Big Eyes remains watchable thanks to Adams and Waltz, its few moments of Burtonesque flair, and the fascinating story it tells about art in the last half-century.” – Hyperallergic Feb 1, 2020 Full Review Viva (2007) 60% EDIT “Better for an art gallery than a movie theater, Viva restores honest sexual politics to a genre that frequently masqueraded misogynist blackmailing as sexual liberation.” – The L Magazine May 8, 2008 Full Review Ezra (2007) 71% EDIT “A taut film detailing the psychological warfare used to control child soldiers who fill the ranks of rebel armies in Africa.” – New York Press Feb 14, 2008 Full Review Woman on the Beach (2006) 88% EDIT “Korean director Hong Sang-soo's Woman on the Beach offers flavors of quarterlife angst and romantic insecurity for which American audiences clearly have an insatiable appetite.” – New York Press Jan 9, 2008 Full Review Monika (1952) 100% EDIT “A fully realized Bergman psychodrama, rather than an early model for his later work.” – New York Press Nov 14, 2007 Full Review Diva (1981) 97% EDIT “It flows between its romance, drama and thriller plots more smoothly than today's best genre-blenders.” – New York Press Oct 31, 2007 Full Review
