Como me da la gana II (2016) EDIT “A playful, entangled follow-up. It treads some of the same ground as the original, but Agüero just can't seem to help himself from zigging and zagging into memory and daydreams, circling around the future of cinema and Chile as well as its past.” – Hyperallergic Feb 6, 2020 Full Review Notes on Blindness (2016) 95% EDIT “Adventurous and intimate and unworried by the wall dividing fiction and nonfiction, Peter Middleton's and James Spinney's debut, Notes on Blindness, is a wondrous film, a thing of magic and a deeply human document.” – Hyperallergic Feb 4, 2020 Full Review Out 1, Noli Me Tangere (1971) 96% EDIT “Rivette's achievement: the epochal moment when words cohere out of a bundle of characters, meaning forms, and a new way to view and define the world opens up.” – Hyperallergic Feb 3, 2020 Full Review Don't Blink -- Robert Frank (2015) 84% EDIT “Ultimately, Don't Blink's gracious approach brings Frank out, casting a welcome impression of him. Where others pushed, Israel waited and invited and talked throughout three years of filming.” – Hyperallergic Feb 1, 2020 Full Review 20,000 Days on Earth (2014) 97% EDIT “The performances and behind-the-scenes practices are rocking and revealing. Conversations are generous and surprising; Cave's monologuing inspiring, a celebration of a creativity and action.” – Hyperallergic Feb 1, 2020 Full Review On Tour With Pina Bausch (1983) EDIT “Dreamy, searching, and almost paradoxically decisive, One Day Pina Asked... evokes the spirit of a diary -- a web of brief, tinged, focused moments of interviews, performances, rehearsals, and backstage preparation.” – Hyperallergic Feb 1, 2020 Full Review Closed Curtain (2013) 91% EDIT “Still bold, still thoughtful, still witty, still confined, Panahi has made a film on the blessing and curse of creative vision.” – Hyperallergic Feb 1, 2020 Full Review The Pervert's Guide to Ideology (2012) 93% EDIT “Unfortunately, Pervert's Guide to Ideology runs past its ideal point, but like college, you still remember it fondly, even if it went on a little too long or was a bit too expensive.” – Hyperallergic Jan 31, 2020 Full Review Computer Chess (2013) 86% EDIT “While relations between actors are delightful, what Bujalski does to link man and computer is clever and singular -- slyly masterful.” – Hyperallergic Jan 31, 2020 Full Review A Space Program (2015) 87% EDIT “A Space Program: The Movie, and Sachs's work in general, is resourceful, cheeky, and fun.” – Brooklyn Magazine Nov 30, 2016 Full Review Gored (2015) 80% EDIT “Fascinating and oddly inspiring, Gored is too focused on Barrera the myth to ever really focus on Barrera the man.” – Slant Magazine Mar 1, 2016 Full Review The Taking of Tiger Mountain (2014) 71% 1.5/4 EDIT “Cheery and happily empty-headed, the present-day subplot adds little but sentiment to a film shot through with clich characters, a predictable plot, and undisguised reverence.” – Slant Magazine Jan 6, 2015 Full Review
