Pavements (2024)
Publish Date: May 1, 2025
"Perry keeps alive ideas of authenticity vs. falsity, of the struggle to stay true to something in a crass commercial world"

The Wall Street Journal
The Wedding Banquet (2025)
Publish Date: April 16, 2025
"It’s urprisingly lachrymose for a film being sold as a rom-com. Weightier emotions are dully meted out for some 100 minutes"

The Wall Street Journal
When Fall Is Coming (2024)
Publish Date: April 3, 2025
"That it is still worthwhile owes largely to the sympathetic, sinuous performance of Hélène Vincent, in the lead role of a grand-mère who may not be as simply sweet as she first appears"

The Wall Street Journal
The Actor (2025)
Publish Date: March 14, 2025
"While Holland is a clear talent with a screen presence at once natural and vivid, his character is passive to the point of emptiness"

The Wall Street Journal
Seven Veils (2023)
Publish Date: March 6, 2025
"Egoyan has done something interesting, weaving a new narrative into and around the opera until the two become a dense, dark thicket of their own"

The Wall Street Journal
Armand (2024)
Publish Date: February 7, 2025
"Ms. Reinsve is a talented actress, yet her performance here evokes a kind of pity: She deserves a director who knows when to yell 'cut!'"

The Wall Street Journal
Dog Man (2025)
Publish Date: January 30, 2025
"A silly, hyperactive, generally sweet kids’ movie that should prove diverting to its intended audience and not totally grueling for the parents who have to go along"

The Wall Street Journal
All We Imagine as Light (2024)
Publish Date: November 6, 2024
"It’s a visually and sociologically rich portrait of a city that also manages to achieve an affecting -- dare I say novelistic -- depth of character"

The Wall Street Journal
Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat (2024)
Publish Date: November 4, 2024
"The film, with its dazzling musical energy, its complex narrative sweep and its dizzying cast of characters, finally emerges as a tragedy"

The Wall Street Journal
Dahomey (2024)
Publish Date: October 29, 2024
"At a time when many documentaries stretch into episode after episode, there’s something refreshing about one that doesn’t aspire to be all-encompassing... 'Dahomey' is at once haunting and humble"

The Wall Street Journal
Exhibiting Forgiveness (2024)
Publish Date: October 16, 2024
"The movie isn’t wanting for dramatic juice. It simply never comes together with the sort of gathering force that we witness in its own scenes of artistic creation"

The Wall Street Journal
Misericordia (2024)
Publish Date: October 10, 2024
"Mr. Guiraudie's mix of mischief-making and straight-faced conviction keeps us continuously unsettled, and continuously curious"

The Wall Street Journal
Oh, Canada (2024)
Publish Date: October 10, 2024
"The movie is variously bewildering, awkward and truly moving, turning on a bitterly unsentimental performance from Mr. Gere"

The Wall Street Journal
Merchant Ivory (2023)
Publish Date: August 28, 2024
"'Merchant Ivory' will almost certainly put you in the mood for a Merchant-Ivory movie, which might turn out to be even better than you remembered"

The Wall Street Journal
Close Your Eyes (2023)
Publish Date: August 22, 2024
"We marvel at Mr. Erice’s sweeping artistry, having found it alive and well"

The Wall Street Journal
Only the River Flows (2023)
Publish Date: July 24, 2024
"The movie seems to lose its grip not merely on the mystery but on its protagonist, becoming less psychologically penetrating and more haphazardly hallucinatory"

The Wall Street Journal
Sing Sing (2023)
Publish Date: July 11, 2024
"The vibrant presence of these performers [is] its most potent force"

The Wall Street Journal
Last Summer (2023)
Publish Date: June 27, 2024
"A provocation and a melodrama, and yet in Ms. Breillat’s hands these characters are precisely rendered humans -in their sensitivities, their wants, their vile follies"

The Wall Street Journal
Babes (2024)
Publish Date: May 15, 2024
"It is never very affecting or, more lethally, very funny"

The Wall Street Journal
Limbo (2023)
Publish Date: March 20, 2024
"The film is spare, sunbleached and serious in its study of people long neglected and abused. Yet the drama is thin, and the mystery halfhearted. Whatever desert sand the movie kicks up soon settles down again"
