River Runs Red (2018)

Publish Date: November 6, 2018
"The acting is stiff, the pacing sluggish, the framing uncertain, the music an intrusive mush and the scenario schematic."

LA Weekly
London Fields (2018)

Publish Date: October 24, 2018
"Cullen’s calamitous film adaptation of Martin Amis’ 'London Fields' plays like the hazy recollection of someone who hated the book"

LA Weekly
Maison du bonheur (2017)

Publish Date: August 20, 2018
"For both the filmmaker and her audience, making Sellam’s acquaintance proves a rare pleasure"

Village Voice
Summer of 84 (2018)

Publish Date: August 6, 2018
"By the end, the craziest shit has happened, persuasively, with both memorable style and some emotional power"

Village Voice
Gavagai (2016)

Publish Date: July 30, 2018
"'Gavagai' offers moments of sublimity unlike anything you’ll see in most contemporary movies. It also tests the patience."

Village Voice
Milla (2017)

Publish Date: July 30, 2018
"We observe moments of living rather than the beats of a story"

Village Voice
Puzzle (2018)

Publish Date: July 23, 2018
"[It] is likely to charm and move audiences (...) Since it’s hard to buy the character, it’s hard to buy the story"

Village Voice
Generation Wealth (2018)

Publish Date: July 16, 2018
"Greenfield’s survey is alarming, hilarious, and indulgent, sometimes strained and a little dull, prone to overstatement and an abuse of synecdoche."

Village Voice
Shock and Awe (2017)

Publish Date: July 10, 2018
"'Shock and Awe' is jittery at first, uneven in its rhythms, overawed by its history (...) Reiner’s film is too Reiner to pass for history, but it’s awfully gratifying."

Village Voice
Moss (2017)

Publish Date: July 2, 2018
"'Moss' is a lovely, drifting trip of a movie"

Village Voice
The Citizen (2016)

Publish Date: July 1, 2018
"A devastatingly good drama about refugees and immigration (...) Vranik’s film couldn’t be more timely in its moral inquiry, but it’s timeless in form and technique"

Village Voice
Under the Tree (2017)

Publish Date: July 1, 2018
"The first scenes are hilarious (...) Sigurðsson maintains exquisite control of our expectations"

Village Voice
Izzy Gets the F*ck Across Town (2016)

Publish Date: June 18, 2018
"Holding it all together (...) is Davis (...) The performer wields exquisite control over the character’s recklessness (...) Davis suggests depths that the woman-spurned scenario lacks"

Village Voice
The King (2017)

Publish Date: June 18, 2018
"Scattered and disorienting (...) There are moments of clarity and insight"

Village Voice
Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts (2017)

Publish Date: June 18, 2018
"Surya establishes Marlina’s position with quiet power (...) The result is a film of uneasy grandeur, at once offhand and gently mythic"

Village Voice
Eating Animals (2017)

Publish Date: June 11, 2018
"'Eating Animals' isn’t bringing us news; it’s urging us to face what we already suspect (...) Its approach, though, is too scattershot, its arguments too dependent on what footage was acquired"

Village Voice
The Year of Spectacular Men (2017)

Publish Date: June 11, 2018
"A brisk, breezy, sharp-elbowed, sexually frank, occasionally shout-y, often hilarious comedy (...) 'The Year of Spectacular Men' is like a party with the funniest sisters you know."

Village Voice
Bernard and Huey (2017)

Publish Date: June 4, 2018
"'Bernard and Huey' bristles with anxious, circuitous, hilarious talk (...) [The story] isn’t as inspired as the best speeches or Rash’s performance"

Village Voice
Upgrade (2018)

Publish Date: May 29, 2018
"'Upgrade' offers memorable, legible fights, a compelling bombed-out retro-apocalyptic look and a mystery that seems obvious at the start but then keeps twisting."

Village Voice
That Summer (2017)

Publish Date: May 15, 2018
"This footage is more incidental, less mysterious and revelatory than in 'Grey Gardens'. But, still, it’s more of the Edies, which makes it priceless."
