Tuya's Marriage (2006) 95% EDIT “Funny, tender, and vividly shot, this delightful comedy is far more satisfying as story and cinema than other features recently shot in Mongolia.” – Screen International Sep 23, 2020 Full Review Shadows and Lies (2010) 0% EDIT “Anania's rudimentary script, written for Franco, is a weak shell that's awkward for any actor to inhabit.” – Screen International Jun 29, 2020 Full Review What Richard Did (2012) 91% B+ EDIT “DP David Grennan and [Lenny] Abrahamson have a fine touch with the volatile ensemble dynamics of kids with high energy, quick tempers and the fragile vulnerability of youth.” – IndieWire Apr 30, 2020 Full Review Framing John DeLorean (2019) 92% EDIT “The film rarely gives us the private DeLorean, but Framing John DeLorean resonates with American rise-and-fall archetypes - though the parallels are inexact if still illuminating.” – Arts Fuse Jun 14, 2019 Full Review Amazing Grace (2018) 99% EDIT “It's raw religion, and it's a treasure.” – Screen International Nov 13, 2018 Full Review The Biggest Little Farm (2018) 91% EDIT “Audiences won't watch it and go back to the land. But they might come back and see it again.” – Screen International Sep 10, 2018 Full Review Angels Are Made of Light (2018) 100% EDIT “For viewers who adjust to its deliberately slow rhythms, the reward is a vivid portrait of daily life in Kabul and a rich look into childhood from the perspective of children who have every reason to expect the worst.” – Screen International Sep 5, 2018 Full Review Carmine Street Guitars (2018) 97% EDIT “Tender without sentimentality, the doc by Ron Mann is as absorbing as it is understated.” – Screen International Sep 4, 2018 Full Review Zoe (2018) 35% EDIT “While the end result is more tender than tech, twists in the script by Richard Greenberg could rope in a young crowd which is drawn to "can-you-top-this" cyber tales.” – Screen International Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) 47% EDIT “This latest dutiful and earnest installment... [is] like a roller coaster that you've ridden many times.” – Screen International Jun 5, 2018 Full Review State Like Sleep (2018) 38% EDIT “There is not enough in the performances or the script to set it apart from the constant flow of indie crime dramas.” – Screen International Apr 26, 2018 Full Review To Dust (2018) 89% EDIT “Shawn Snyder's film about a cantor grieving for his wife and pondering her body's decomposition is earnest to the point of piety. It's also bawdy, and at moments, very funny.” – Screen International Apr 25, 2018 Full Review Mapplethorpe (2018) 34% EDIT “Smith gives us a credible, flawed, gifted Mapplethorpe over two decades, an unlikeable man who hires his brother as an assistant and then torments him.” – Screen International Apr 24, 2018 Full Review Little Woods (2018) 95% EDIT “Nia DaCosta's heartland tale, rough around some edges, is a promising feature debut.” – Screen International Apr 24, 2018 Full Review Diane (2018) 93% EDIT “If the intimacy of small town existence is cherished here, there's also an ominous sense of that same life being eroded and undermined.” – Screen International Apr 23, 2018 Full Review The Seagull (2018) 68% EDIT “The Seagull, Anton Chekhov's classic play about failed hopes and tangled attractions, is solid and satisfying in Michael Mayer's intimate retelling for the screen.” – Screen International Apr 23, 2018 Full Review Ghostbox Cowboy (2018) 100% EDIT “Stylish, comic and shameless, with a gonzo, midnight movie tone...” – Screen International Apr 20, 2018 Full Review Here and Now (Blue Night) (2018) 23% EDIT “In Blue Night, Sarah Jessica Parker pivots to take on a huge challenge, playing a singer in a dark dramatic role. It's ambitious, and she hits some of the right notes, but much of it ends up off-key.” – Screen International Apr 20, 2018 Full Review Pacific Rim Uprising (2018) 42% EDIT “Face-offs in Siberia and finally on the slopes of Mt. Fuji provide some welcome relief from the sameness of modern cities, the snow and ice adding an appealing new degree of difficulty to the same old fight.” – Screen International Mar 20, 2018 Full Review 1985 (2018) 96% EDIT “1985 gets the notes right, and its foreboding look takes us back to a dark age. It's a lesson worth remembering. Yet with all the prejudice and pain, the film still feels a lot like a sermon.” – Screen International Mar 12, 2018 Full Review Tully (2018) 87% EDIT “Theron will put to rest any doubts about her feel for comedy; the darker the better.” – Screen International Jan 26, 2018 Full Review For Ahkeem (2017) 96% EDIT “There's a strong dose of anthropology in this documentary, as the filmmakers construct the small world in which Daje lives and interacts with young people like herself - all black, all poor, mostly fatherless.” – Screen International Dec 15, 2017 Full Review Green Green (2012) 80% EDIT “Green White Green is satire, and satire can't be expected to be definitive, yet this is still a satire whose teeth aren't terribly sharp. But it's a film that puts a political conversation in a Nollywood frame.” – Screen International Nov 13, 2017 Full Review Guilty (2015) 91% EDIT “Guilty is an epic look at two gruesome killings, made worse by a series of wild miscarriages of justice.” – Screen International Oct 20, 2017 Full Review Veleno (2017) EDIT “While Veleno draws from a familiar organised crime template, it offers moments of brutality that are all its own.” – Screen International Oct 16, 2017 Full Review
