Charm City (2018) 100% EDIT “It's a stark perspective on how money and policies have failed the city's poorest.” – L.A. Weekly Oct 22, 2018 Full Review Fail State (2018) 82% EDIT “[A] well-paced, chock-full documentary...” – L.A. Weekly Oct 22, 2018 Full Review Inventing Tomorrow (2018) 100% EDIT “These are moving stories of nerdy children, kids who are pragmatic about the forward march of industry yet believe societies can, and must, find cleaner ways to advance.” – Village Voice Aug 29, 2018 Full Review Do You Trust This Computer? (2018) 69% EDIT “The doc never goes much deeper than the information and arguments on AI that can currently be found in the Sunday papers.” – Village Voice Aug 15, 2018 Full Review Love Is Tolerance - Tolerance Is Love (2018) EDIT “Love and tolerance are difficult to argue with, yet this effort seems pointless - not just because it will change few minds, but also because it's a mess.” – Village Voice Aug 8, 2018 Full Review Far From the Tree (2017) 90% EDIT “It's a painstaking inspection of parenthood, which is fraught even in less formidable circumstances... But it's also a contemplation of what it means to be human and, ultimately, optimistic.” – Village Voice Jul 19, 2018 Full Review The Doctor From India (2018) 40% EDIT “Sometimes a filmmaker is so taken with a subject that a documentary fizzles into hagiography, a problem of Jeremy Frindel's The Doctor From India...” – Village Voice May 30, 2018 Full Review The Most Unknown (2018) 82% EDIT “The scientists' fascination is contagious, and it seems clear that their curiosity should be sustained.” – Village Voice May 16, 2018 Full Review What Haunts Us (2018) 100% EDIT “Tolmach uncloaks an enabling culture.” – Village Voice May 11, 2018 Full Review Strangers on the Earth (2016) 86% EDIT “Surely, there's meaning in them thar hills, but you'll just have to take this film's many words for it.” – Village Voice May 2, 2018 Full Review The Test and the Art of Thinking (2018) 100% EDIT “It's a brutal takedown of a practice now warping K-12 education and should embarrass every school that still requires them.” – Village Voice Apr 26, 2018 Full Review The Judge (2017) 100% EDIT “The Judge is packed tight; it's enlightening and suspenseful and paced for maximum enjoyment.” – Village Voice Apr 11, 2018 Full Review The Heart of Nuba (2016) 100% EDIT “If Catena has flaws, filmmaker Kenneth Carlson declines to feature them, perhaps because they've been friends since their Brown University days thirty years ago. Still, the doctor has earned the adulation, and a visit to a leper colony shows why.” – Village Voice Apr 4, 2018 Full Review Summer in the Forest (2017) 92% EDIT “It's quite a story, one that, like all good stories, turns out to have meaning for anyone.” – Village Voice Mar 21, 2018 Full Review Breaking Point: The War for Democracy in Ukraine (2017) 100% EDIT “Mark Jonathan Harris and Oles Sanin's film offers haunting, close-up documentation of a fight for democracy.” – Village Voice Mar 3, 2018 Full Review Hondros (2017) 100% EDIT “The result stands as a testament not only to Hondros's journalism, but also his humanity.” – Village Voice Feb 27, 2018 Full Review The Peacemaker (2016) 87% EDIT “An intense, intimate portrait of a visionary capable of sophisticated analysis, abrupt anger, self-deprecating wit, and profound insights - all while existing at considerable remove from his fellow man.” – Village Voice Feb 8, 2018 Full Review In the Land of Pomegranates (2018) 79% EDIT “The film is a jumble, with no sense of meaningful interaction ...” – Village Voice Jan 4, 2018 Full Review The Rape of Recy Taylor (2017) 95% EDIT “The film is a haunting, damning unpacking of history that also reminds us how little progress we've made.” – Village Voice Dec 13, 2017 Full Review The New Radical (2017) 58% EDIT “For all his talk of Friedrich Nietzsche and Michel Foucault, Wilson essentially seems like just another capitalist bro ...” – Village Voice Nov 29, 2017 Full Review What Happened in Vegas (2017) EDIT “The problems Denison uncovers serve as a warning to all Americans.” – Village Voice Nov 22, 2017 Full Review A River Below (2017) 100% EDIT “Daz's sublime cinematography and the way Grieco teases out the knotty narrative make for a haunting exploration of an ethical morass, where vilification is easy, but deconstructing power much more difficult.” – Village Voice Nov 1, 2017 Full Review No Dress Code Required (2017) 100% EDIT “A masterful, layered story of commissar-crossed lovers.” – Village Voice Nov 1, 2017 Full Review Take My Nose... Please! (2017) 92% EDIT “Kron's thesis is mostly persuasive, and it's delicious when she seems to catch a couple of her sources fudging about their own cosmetic histories.” – Village Voice Oct 4, 2017 Full Review Boston (2017) 100% EDIT “Boston, like the city itself, is strong indeed.” – Village Voice Sep 20, 2017 Full Review
