Cusp (2021) 86% EDIT “[Cusp's] conclusions are neither arrived at through such restrictive channels as libertine abandon and awareness ex nihilo, nor telescoped toward eventual wholeness, for that matter.” – In Review Online Nov 23, 2021 Full Review Whirlybird (2020) 82% EDIT “Whirlybird disappoints with its bland journalism, ironically, making for an event-heavy, informational pamphlet and little else.” – In Review Online Aug 26, 2021 Full Review Hero Mode (2021) 50% EDIT “Teamwork makes the dream work, but Hero Mode suggests it's the latter that decides the bounds within which the former is allowed to intervene.” – In Review Online Jun 23, 2021 Full Review Gully (2019) 25% EDIT “Clearly, Gully wishes for a serious audience and enough cultural currency accorded by its talented line-up and narrative fare ... it hasn't thus far succeeded.” – In Review Online Jun 9, 2021 Full Review Honeydew (2020) 65% EDIT “Honeydew is the latest effort to angle toward the elevated horror label without providing much substance to this framework.” – In Review Online Jun 6, 2021 Full Review Nina Wu (2019) 81% EDIT “As its final shot glazes over into incoherence, it's evident that even the best of intentions don't correspond to an incisive, empathetic voice.” – In Review Online Jun 6, 2021 Full Review What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? (2021) 90% EDIT “The film posits an alternative discursive mechanism, one that rejects the rigorously-apportioned, atomized systems of characterization and narratology.” – In Review Online Jun 6, 2021 Full Review Ailey (2021) 90% EDIT “[Wignot's] camera keeps dancer and director alike on an even keel, each continually effaced as a minor component in a major constitution.” – In Review Online Jun 6, 2021 Full Review Searchers (2021) 70% EDIT “For all the images of first-discovery summoned by its title, Searchers feels divorced from the visceral.” – In Review Online Jun 6, 2021 Full Review I Was a Simple Man (2021) 89% EDIT “The result is a wildly contradictory affair whose unresolved ideas find as little purchase as it sojourns across time.” – In Review Online Jun 5, 2021 Full Review Film About a Father Who (2020) 100% EDIT “Film About A Father Who lurches forwards slowly but surely, a study of those who wander, wounded and lost, finding solace in the company of other stragglers.” – In Review Online Jun 5, 2021 Full Review Minor Premise (2020) 88% EDIT “Minor Premise's gestures towards impenetrable design, too, end up blunted, as its structuring goes from outwardly rhizomatic ... to unambiguously linear.” – In Review Online Jun 5, 2021 Full Review Farewell Amor (2020) 97% EDIT “Farewell Amor resembles, in shape, less accomplished recent indie efforts, but it eschews much of their patness in creating something altogether more complex and affecting.” – In Review Online Jun 5, 2021 Full Review
