Film Critic

Soul on a String (2016)

Publish Date: September 13, 2016
"The landscape of Tibet; has rarely looked so striking (...) The ensemble brings variety and personalities"

Screendaily
I Am Not Madame Bovary (2016)

Publish Date: September 10, 2016
"Fan Bingbing is a tempest (...) [It] has a sublime visual elegance, telling its story much of the time with wondrous pictorial effects"

Screendaily
Tickling Giants (2016)

Publish Date: April 21, 2016
"The length and the film’s extended observation of events metamorphosing into gags shows the vitality of independent media."

Screendaily
The Book of Love (2016)

Publish Date: April 15, 2016
"This well-meaning debut feature about following your dreams just treads water."

Screendaily
Everybody Wants Some (2016)

Publish Date: March 12, 2016
"Linklater does connect you with the fun that he must have had in those days. If you can take the testosterone, you'll have a good time."

Screendaily
Tempestad (2016)

Publish Date: March 1, 2016
"Cerebral and emotional, 'Tempestad' is a road movie fuelled by the memories of unjust punishment. It’s a bumpy but illuminating ride."

Screendaily
Who's Gonna Love Me Now? (2016)

Publish Date: February 14, 2016
"This film distills a personal journey with the breadth of a reality series down to feature length."

Screendaily
Sleight (2016)

Publish Date: January 24, 2016
"The element of magic is enough of a novelty and an expansion of the gangbanger playbook to give 'Sleight' some legs"

Screendaily
Sparrows (2015)

Publish Date: September 13, 2015
"A father-son conflict in a remote Icelandic village (...) lifted well above the teen drama genre by its solid directing and spectacular surroundings. With (...) carefully calibrated performances."

Screendaily
Land of Mine (2015)

Publish Date: September 10, 2015
"'Land Of Mine' achieves moments of chilling suspense in scenes of untrained soldiers defusing mines by hand and in the bloody bodies that leap into the air when the boys fail."

Screendaily
Afterwards (2008)

Publish Date: September 10, 2008
"Malkovich is 'Afterwards' chief asset there, but audiences are unlikely to warm to the film’s cold palette, its heavy doses of didacticism and its breathy urgency"

Screendaily
Adam Resurrected (2008)

Publish Date: September 8, 2008
"Adam Stein is consumed by grueling inner turmoil (...) Shrader navigates this emotional territory effectively."

Screendaily
The Pervert's Guide to Ideology (2012)

"Fiennes wisely stays out of his way here. Zizek is the star, edited down to digestible elements, with archival footage used adroitly to drive his arguments home."
