How to Make Money Selling Drugs (2012) 76% B- EDIT “The film is often compelling, clever and entertaining, but oddly enough, these strongest moments are revealed in an awkward third act tonal and structural shift to be nothing more than filler.” – IndieWire Nov 3, 2020 Full Review Without (2011) 90% B+ EDIT “Watch this film closely, and you will be rewarded.” – The Playlist May 22, 2020 Full Review Roar (1981) 72% B- EDIT “Whether you find that hilarious or just plain sad is up to you, but there almost certainly will never be anything like "Roar" again, and that's reason enough to check it out.” – The Playlist May 29, 2015 Full Review Sunshine Superman (2014) 93% 2.5/4 EDIT “A pretty straightforward account of Boenish's life and tragic death, but man... all those skydiving, cliff-jumping and parachuting shots are really something to behold.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 9, 2015 Full Review Nuoc 2030 (2014) 3/4 EDIT “The sentiment and narrative are solid if not a little boilerplate, but the greatest accomplishment is its totally convincing world-building.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 9, 2015 Full Review The Look of Silence (2014) 96% 3.5/4 EDIT “While not as mind-blowing or surprising as "Killing," "The Look of Silence" is perhaps the more necessary film.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 9, 2015 Full Review Cheatin' (2013) 84% 2/4 EDIT “At times it comes to life, but for the most part it's a bit one-note and repetitive.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 9, 2015 Full Review Corn Island (2014) 80% 2/4 EDIT “It feels unfinished, and unnecessarily padded by melodramatic plot developments and some strange, creepy exploitation of its young actress.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 9, 2015 Full Review Clouds of Sils Maria (2014) 91% 2.5/4 EDIT “It's slight and enjoyable, but falters a bit as it strains for profundity.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 9, 2015 Full Review Spring (2014) 85% C+ EDIT “There are strong elements and ideas at work in "Spring," and the filmmakers certainly have our attention moving forward. It seems, though, that they're still finding their voice and how to best communicate their good ideas.” – The Playlist Mar 20, 2015 Full Review AllĂ©luia (2014) 83% B+ EDIT “"Alleluia" works best late at night, where the spindly tendrils of its bizarro narrative can seep into a less lucid, exhausted brain, one that's far more susceptible to its (anti) charms.” – The Playlist Oct 14, 2014 Full Review Red Army (2014) 92% B+ EDIT “"Red Army" deserves a wide audience and should even play better for those who don't care one iota about hockey, mostly because it's so entertaining and character-driven.” – The Playlist Oct 13, 2014 Full Review Young & Beautiful (2013) 73% 3/4 EDIT “It's a balanced and honest look at young sexuality, and thankfully never didactic in its approach.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Mar 31, 2014 Full Review The Rocket (2013) 95% 3/4 EDIT “In some ways, it feels like a throwback to many '80s teen movies, where everything comes down to a competition at the end, and the hero will finally get the chance to prove his worth.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Mar 31, 2014 Full Review Proxy (2013) 64% 3/4 EDIT “Genre mashups are tough to pull off, but "Proxy" mostly does it.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Mar 31, 2014 Full Review Heli (2013) 58% 3/4 EDIT “The imagery is equal parts ugly and beautiful as the tale descends into a nightmare most could never conceive.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Mar 31, 2014 Full Review For No Good Reason (2012) 63% 2.5/4 EDIT “Nothing special, but enjoyable nonetheless.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Mar 31, 2014 Full Review Borgman (2013) 87% 3.5/4 EDIT “For those who get on its wavelength, the rewards are ample and the desire to re-watch will take over.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Mar 31, 2014 Full Review Love Is All You Need (2012) 75% C- EDIT “Overstuffed Love Is All You Need an unsatisfying, predictable rom-com from Susanne Bier” – The Playlist May 3, 2013 Full Review Mud (2013) 97% A EDIT “Every scene, moment and shot of Mud is spot-on, necessary, and adds to the whole, making for a satisfying film experience that will please many a varied filmgoer's taste.” – The Playlist Apr 25, 2013 Full Review
