Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 (2024)

Publish Date: May 20, 2024
"There is no arc to what happens, just the seemingly unending introduction of characters"

The Daily Beast
Emilia Pérez (2024)

Publish Date: May 19, 2024
"'Emilia Perez' is a parade of big swings that shouldn’t work. Its Cannes Film Festival premiere proved it’s not for everyone, but those who give into it are loving the wild ride."

The Daily Beast
Kinds of Kindness (2024)

Publish Date: May 17, 2024
"The message of 'Kinds of Kindness' is that to win the affection of their desires, humans will do the unspeakable and therefore are selfish and unredeemable. It’s great"

The Daily Beast
Everybody Loves Touda (2024)

Publish Date: May 17, 2024
"I left immersed in Touda's story, but still itching to learn more about the Sheikhat. A film has no duty to cater to outsiders, but 'Everybody Loves Touda' keeps them at an arm's length"

IndieWire
Oh Canada (2024)

Publish Date: May 17, 2024
"[It] is unwieldy and sometimes hamfisted, including a closing music cue that will have you rolling your eyes. And yet it’s hard to look away from how Schrader has taken his most beautiful troubled hero in Gere and forced him to wither away"

The Daily Beast
Megalopolis (2024)

Publish Date: May 16, 2024
"Many will find it uproarious, others may locate some profundity, most will have to shake their heads. Whatever it is, it's a lot"

The Daily Beast
Wild Diamond (2024)

Publish Date: May 15, 2024
"Director Agathe Riedinger’s debut feature has little new to say about the pursuit of fame and the toll it takes despite a truly unique heroine in Liane, played with a strange and alluring distance by Malou Khebizi"

IndieWire
In the Summers (2024)

Publish Date: January 26, 2024
"A delicate portrait of how fraught relationships can change over time"

IndieWire
Little Death (2024)

Publish Date: January 25, 2024
"In many ways, it feels like an heir to Aronofsky’s 'Requiem for a Dream,' in the way it zigzags between its pill-poppers. Only it doesn’t have Aronofsky’s trademark intensity. "

IndieWire
Skywalkers: A Love Story (2024)

Publish Date: January 25, 2024
"By the time it’s all over, audiences will only be left with trite lessons about how couples need to balance each other out and support one another. For a movie about two people who do such an unusual thing, it’s an awfully basic note to end on"

IndieWire
Suncoast (2024)

Publish Date: January 22, 2024
"It’s a lot to capture in under two hours, and while there are some lovely beats in Chinn’s film, it’s ultimately too unfocused in the way it approaches its many themes"

IndieWire
Sugarcane (2024)

Publish Date: January 20, 2024
"'Sugarcane' is something more meaningful than a mere history lesson. It's a portrait of what remains when injustice occurs"

IndieWire
Knox Goes Away (2023)

Publish Date: September 11, 2023
"It’s is undercut by stilted dialogue and a stultified pace that turns what could have been a fun thriller into an experience that’s sometimes laughably plodding."

IndieWire
Wicked Little Letters (2023)

Publish Date: September 11, 2023
"There is a glorious gusto to their very funny performances"

Vanity Fair
His Three Daughters (2023)

Publish Date: September 10, 2023
"There’s a special kind of thrill that comes when a perfect, yet somehow unexpected, combination of performers come together in a project. That’s the case in 'His Three Daughters'"

The Daily Beast
The Royal Hotel (2023)

Publish Date: September 9, 2023
"Laughter and wails are almost interchangeable. That tension makes the film excruciating but exciting"

Vanity Fair
Janet Planet (2023)

Publish Date: September 1, 2023
"Luminous debut (...) rich coming-of-age tale"

IndieWire
Janet Planet (2023)

Publish Date: September 1, 2023
"There’s also magic here — in the environment, in Janet’s allure, and in Baker herself, a talent defining herself in a new arena"

The Daily Beast
The Zone of Interest (2023)

Publish Date: May 22, 2023
"A disturbing and brilliant film that challenges what it means to make a Holocaust movie"

The Daily Beast
The Sweet East (2023)

Publish Date: May 19, 2023
"It can also be very funny in its outrageousness, even if it ends on a moment that ups the provocation"
