You Were Never Really Here
(2017)
|
Felicia Feaster
|
[Lynne] Ramsay finds poetry in the abject to her detriment but to her credit too.

Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood
(2017)
|
Felicia Feaster
|
[Director Matt Tyrnauer] seems to have surrendered all control to the chaos machine that is Scotty Bowers.

|
Felicia Feaster

A Dangerous Method crafts a fascinating, tragic heroine from a woman history has overlooked.

A Separation
(2011)
|
Felicia Feaster
|
For fans of the sort of world cinema that plunges you into the essence of life in another reality, A Separation is an intense, immersive dip into contemporary Iranian life.

Carnage
(2011)
|
Felicia Feaster
|
The linchpin of the drama is fairly one-note: beneath civility lies cruelty. And there is perhaps a bit too much New Yorker-style, upper-middle self-satisfaction in that rather thin insight.

Crazy Horse
(2011)
|
Felicia Feaster
|
As with nearly all of Wiseman's films, Crazy Horse is a narcotic, fly-on-the-wall immersion in the rhythms and predilections of a peculiar industry.

The Glass Castle
(2017)
|
Felicia Feaster
|
[D]espite its flaws, The Glass Castle... connects powerfully to what it feels like to be a child when adults make all the rules.

mother!
(2017)
|
Felicia Feaster
|
The film can at times feel like a short story Botoxed into existence with an infusion of Hollywood money and special effects.

Human Flow
(2017)
|
Felicia Feaster
|
Ai's film, like his art, moves in contrapuntal stanzas between showing the scale of the immigration crisis and its individual victims.

BPM (Beats Per Minute)
(2017)
|
Felicia Feaster
|
Far from simply an "issue" film, BPM is an incisive, moving portrait of what it feels like to occupy its subjects' skin, to feel a sense of both acute sexual ecstasy and love and also a powerful, encroaching doom.

Tom of Finland
(2017)
|
Felicia Feaster
|
For Tom of Finland, sex is freedom and the artist's empowered gay superheroes perpetually young, never encumbered by performance anxiety or condemnation, frolicking in a dream world expression of a longed-for reality.

Leaning Into the Wind: Andy Goldsworthy
(2017)
|
Felicia Feaster
|
It is clear from watching Leaning Into the Wind that, for Goldsworthy, the labor, the action is as much a pleasure as the concept or the end result.

Generation Wealth
(2018)
|
Felicia Feaster
|
Generation Wealth is an unsatisfyingly superficial crash course in that enduring idea, a kind of omnibus of the photographer's fixations coalesced into one top-heavy, meandering production.

Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot
(2018)
|
Felicia Feaster
|
Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot fits squarely into Van Sant's Good Will Hunting mode of mainstream feel good entertainments with a whiff of wackiness. It's like rainbow jimmies sprinkled on white bread.

Westwood: Punk, Icon, Activist
(2018)
|
Felicia Feaster
|
Westwood may be intriguing for fashion types, punk-rockers and fans of septuagenarian women with potty mouths and trophy husbands, but it may be a harder sell for cinephiles who like their docs with a little more revelation.

BlacKkKlansman
(2018)
|
Felicia Feaster
|
There's the sense that Lee is seeing our present reality not as a reason to give up hope but to remind Americans of the stakes, to rally them to take back their country from those who would make it 1953 again.

Velvet Buzzsaw
(2019)
|
Felicia Feaster
|
But Velvet Buzzsaw's fatal flaw may be that it quickly shifts from satire... into an R.L. Stine Goosebumps plot.

Garry Winogrand: All Things Are Photographable
(2018)
|
Felicia Feaster
|
A tour through Winogrand's unique sensibility and a changing America, the film charts a career now enshrined in the canon of photography but which was, like most artists' lives, more difficult in the living.

Boom for Real: The Late Teenage Years of Jean-Michel Basquiat
(2017)
|
Felicia Feaster
|
This potent love letter to Basquiat is also a Proustian remembrance of things past and a pre-gentrification New York City, where anything seemed possible.
