Hard Times (1975) 72% 3.5/5 EDIT “Time passes by slowly in the film, creating a leisurely tone that stands at odds with the action-oriented plot set within the brutal world of underground bare-knuckle boxing.” – Slant Magazine Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Where to Land (2025) EDIT “A shaggy and spellbinding ode to shifting gears despite everyday life’s crippling opposition to change.” – The Film Stage Sep 11, 2025 Full Review High and Low (1963) 97% 3.5/5 EDIT “If High and Low teaches us anything it’s how quickly the tone and perspective of a great story can shift. Kurosawa turns point of view into a boomerang, jumping back and forth between multiple characters depending on the narrative trajectory. ” – Slant Magazine Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Labyrinth of Cinema (2019) 93% A- EDIT “This mammoth final effort by Ôbayashi, an artist who so often destroyed the conventional boundaries of cinematic space in works like 1977's Hausu, is a completely humbling viewing experience.” – The Film Stage Oct 20, 2021 Full Review Cry Macho (2021) 57% A- EDIT “This is a reverie, not a requiem. Clunky and cranky in the most charming of ways, the film always moves in sync with its 91-year-old star, lingering on moments of solitude for long periods while brushing past more traditional plot points with ease.” – The Film Stage Sep 18, 2021 Full Review The Works and Days (of Tayoko Shiojiri in the Shiotani Basin) (2020) A- EDIT “The Works and Days is by no means an easy thing to endure, but doing so brings you closer to understanding what it might mean to finally be at peace.” – The Film Stage Jul 16, 2021 Full Review Gunpowder Milkshake (2021) 60% B- EDIT “When Papushado's film finds the right tonal balance, meshing noir bleakness with pops of art deco color, there are fireworks to behold.” – The Film Stage Jul 13, 2021 Full Review Nashville (1975) 89% 5/5 EDIT “A stunning, epic layering of music and delusion.” – Little White Lies Jun 22, 2021 Full Review The Power of Kangwon Province (1998) 100% B+ EDIT “Even if it lacks the deep melancholy and near-mystical sense of time found in Hong's greatest films, The Power of Kangwon Province impressively foreshadows his interest in situations that devour one's spirit.” – The Film Stage Jun 14, 2021 Full Review The Real Thing (2020) 63% A EDIT “Some of the eccentric charm that made it such a masterpiece of the serial format has vanished. Strangely, though, watching this maddening tale of love found, lost, and found in one fell swoop makes for a more sobering and heartbreaking experience.” – The Film Stage Jun 14, 2021 Full Review Slow Machine (2020) 83% A- EDIT “If American cinema is ever going to transcend the banal and shapeless superhero fantasies that have occupied so much mental and physical space this past decade-plus, more films like Slow Machine will be needed to jar us out of our collective complacency.” – The Film Stage Jun 3, 2021 Full Review Gull (2020) 100% A- EDIT “Jeong's boiling performance is never less than riveting, and a fittingly blunt response to the slippery chauvinism that continues to prop up the worst men as model citizens.” – The Film Stage May 14, 2021 Full Review Wood and Water (2021) 100% B- EDIT “Wood and Water's perfectly circular narrative shape ultimately comes across as quietly sentimental. All of Anke's experiences abroad coincide in a tidy way, offering little in the way of surprise.” – The Film Stage May 13, 2021 Full Review Short Vacation (2020) B EDIT “Watching this film makes one pine to remember all the little digressions of day trips and overnighters that once seemed so important but have since faded from memory.” – The Film Stage May 13, 2021 Full Review Bipolar (2021) B EDIT “Once the hum of the open road transcends any need for narrative coherence or temporal continuity, Bipolar creates an expansive space for reflection that's always bending with the horizon's next curve.” – The Film Stage May 13, 2021 Full Review Rock Bottom Riser (2021) 86% B+ EDIT “Director Fern Silva uses these moments to bookend a fascinating exploration of humanity's curiously self-destructive relationship with nature.” – The Film Stage May 13, 2021 Full Review Madalena (2021) 83% A- EDIT “Formally accomplished and thematically scathing, Madalena confronts the dehumanization caused by cowardice and indifference, allowing its central character to transcend the graveyard of statistics.” – The Film Stage Apr 30, 2021 Full Review Tom Clancy's Without Remorse (2021) 45% B- EDIT “The revenge saga that follows is both logically absurd and cinematically pleasing for those who yearn for the glory days of 1990s action cinema.” – The Film Stage Apr 28, 2021 Full Review Malni - Towards the Ocean, Towards the Shore (2020) 100% B+ EDIT “Nature never feels like the window dressing in these hypnotic images, but intrinsically tied to the reflections contemplated by the subjects themselves.” – The Film Stage Apr 3, 2021 Full Review Godzilla vs. Kong (2021) 75% C EDIT “Every previous film in the franchise has been building toward their inevitable clash, and now it comes to big dumb life thanks to Adam Wingard's massive and massively tedious tent-pole.” – The Film Stage Mar 31, 2021 Full Review The Inheritance (2020) 91% A EDIT “Unquestionably one of this year's great films, The Inheritance seeks to position them both on equal planes of historical and individual experience, one invariably informing the other.” – The Film Stage Mar 11, 2021 Full Review Coming 2 America (2021) 49% C+ EDIT “Coming 2 America is progressive in its themes and ideas, blandly conventional in comedy.” – The Film Stage Mar 4, 2021 Full Review The United States vs. Billie Holiday (2021) 55% B- EDIT “Just because the director's stylistic approach has become more conventional doesn't mean his themes of social justice aren't radical in their pure defiance of compromise.” – The Film Stage Feb 25, 2021 Full Review Demonlover (2002) 53% EDIT “Demonlover blends elements of the thriller, heist film, and porn with revolutionary verve, revealing the incredibly close proximity of high art and lowbrow kinks.” – The Film Stage Feb 20, 2021 Full Review Test Pattern (2021) 96% B+ EDIT “Test Pattern unleashes a lightning round of anger, resentment, and doubt that neither the characters nor audience could have predicted.” – The Film Stage Feb 20, 2021 Full Review
