When the Light Breaks (2024)

Publish Date: May 14, 2024
"A taut, affecting coming-of-age film set over a few traumatic days (...) All involved are doing good, meaningful work with a simple script and a story that explains little"

IndieWire
Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger (2024)

Publish Date: February 20, 2024
"Combining scripted, video essay-style analysis next to Powell and Pressburger’s films with Scorsese’s random observations, 'Made in England' is chronological and very watchable"

IndieWire
Dahomey (2024)

Publish Date: February 17, 2024
"Strange, sensitive doc (...) For those who know little about the subject matter, 'Dahomey' is a bold and memorable history lesson"

IndieWire
Suspended Time (2024)

Publish Date: February 16, 2024
"An honest expression of doubt and vulnerability (...) Maybe it's time to stop trying to find cinematic value in pandemic rituals"

IndieWire
Cuckoo (2024)

Publish Date: February 15, 2024
"Hunter Schafer can’t save a nonsensical horror movie that drives itself insane (...) [It] takes itself too seriously, even as it pokes fun at its own silliness"

IndieWire
Kneecap (2024)

Publish Date: January 18, 2024
"'Kneecap' is the delightfully spiky story of an Irish-language hip hop act’s unlikely rise to fame. But it would be a lot better if it knew what to do with Michael Fassbender."

IndieWire
The Green Border (2023)

Publish Date: September 4, 2023
"Its three narratives never fully work together, even as they begin to interlink (...) a film that otherwise has plenty to say"

IndieWire
The Featherweight (2023)

Publish Date: September 2, 2023
"Robert Kolodny’s debut film is as agile as its irrepressible protagonist (...) This film won't be brushed aside"

IndieWire
Tiger Stripes (2023)

Publish Date: May 16, 2023
"Amanda Nell Eu's feature takes an original approach to a classic story, but by bucking its B-movie tropes, it loses what makes it special."

IndieWire
Scrapper (2023)

Publish Date: January 22, 2023
"A smart, sensitive debut and a promising arrival for its talented director."

IndieWire
20 Days in Mariupol (2023)

Publish Date: January 20, 2023
"An unflinching look at the true price of Russia’s War on Ukraine (...) Mystylav Chernov captures a horrifying portrait of destruction"

IndieWire
The Damned Don't Cry (2022)

Publish Date: September 7, 2022
“[It] is excellent, asking tough questions about society and morality without easy answers or neat conclusions. Non-actors populate the cast, performing terrifically"

IndieWire
Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy (2022)

Publish Date: August 31, 2022
"[It] serves as a pretty good explanation for why “Midnight Cowboy” became such a phenomenon, and why we’re still so fixated by it.

IndieWire
The March on Rome (2022)

Publish Date: August 30, 2022
"Cousins entertainingly brings history, cinema, and the manipulative power of the movies together in the way we've come to expect from him. If you're intrigued by a movie called 'The March on Rome', you won't be disappointed"

IndieWire
The Silent Twins (2022)

Publish Date: May 25, 2022
"The truth is so appalling that you’re left asking why the previous two hours have been so inert."

IndieWire
Corsage (2022)

Publish Date: May 19, 2022
"Although 'Corsage' makes a worthy attempt to recast Elisabeth as independent of her constraints, its final note leaves it feeling a little too much like its own sort of requiem"

IndieWire
EO (2022)

Publish Date: May 19, 2022
"In Bresson's version, it's the humans around the donkey who are the true center of the story. Not so in 'EO' .This is Donkeyvision, and we're better off for it"
