Film Critic

After Hours (1985)

Publish Date: July 16, 2023
"[It] remains a peculiar whirlwind that will not just keep you guessing, it’ll keep you answering incorrectly"

Screen Anarchy
Head Over Heels (1979)

Publish Date: May 7, 2023
"[An] exceptionally modest film"

Screen Anarchy
A Woman Kills (1968)

Publish Date: March 28, 2023
"Armed with this understanding and an appetite for discovery of the past, this living relic of May '68 pulses anew with uneasy vigor"

Screen Anarchy
The Adventures of Baron Münchausen (1988)

Publish Date: February 16, 2023
"It is visual treat for anyone who might pay attention to its story of the Baron’s grand last hurrah"

Screen Anarchy
Women Talking (2022)

Publish Date: December 1, 2022
"It stands tall as a bold, deep dive into the raw emotional grappling inside a communal fight or flight decision (...) it’s never less than a visual feast"

Screen Anarchy
White Noise (2022)

Publish Date: November 23, 2022
"One may emerge from this film feeling as though they’ve seen stranger things, but nothing much is as gloriously, jocularly confounding as whatever this is"

Screen Anarchy
The Worst Person in the World (2021)

Publish Date: August 8, 2022
"'The Worst Person in the World' harbors a particularly warm, absorbing graininess and tactility"

Screen Anarchy
Devil in a Blue Dress (1995)

Publish Date: July 21, 2022
"Whether you’re a fan of the leading man, of Film Noir, of African American genre stories, of stories that get their hooks into bigger things, you’ll want to put Criterion’s 'Devil in a Blue Dress' on"

Screen Anarchy
Citizen Kane (1941)

Publish Date: January 19, 2022
"If the purpose of great art is to ask questions, the 'Citizen Kane' leaves us, even eighty-plus years later, with plenty to think about. The film causes us, to strive towards betterment"

Screen Anarchy
The Tender Bar (2021)

Publish Date: January 6, 2022
"Like a visit to the neighborhood tavern, 'The Tender Bar' is kinda cozy, a little loud, a little reserved, and entirely familiar (...) Watch it or don't; tip your bartender on the way out"

Screen Anarchy
Red Rocket (2021)

Publish Date: December 9, 2021
"Sticky-sweet seduction (...) 'Red Rocket' blasts audiences with a thoroughly magnetic romp with a ridiculously unshakable main character"

Screen Anarchy
Licorice Pizza (2021)

Publish Date: November 25, 2021
"There's nothing wrong with 'Licorice Pizza' (...) This is Anderson's most approachable movie; also his most rewatchable. There are big laughs in this custom dish. It altogether leans in to audience-friendly territory"

Screen Anarchy
The Damned (1969)

Publish Date: November 11, 2021
"While the filmmaker's take on what passes for decadent and amoral have culturally shifted somewhat, much of what's depicted continues to resonate as such (...) The cast, all tremendously game and wholly trusting of Visconti"

Screen Anarchy
Man Push Cart (2005)

Publish Date: October 10, 2021
"Directed with understated precision by Bahrani, 'Man Push Cart' proves to be an ideal (if very hard won) roll-out of a career that’s made good on its debut’s promises"

Screen Anarchy
Forty Guns (1957)

Publish Date: January 6, 2019
"This is Stanwyck in all her glory (...) Fuller’s dialogue, like the stories they’re masterfully woven into, isn’t intended to be 'historical'. It is, however, rooted firmly in emotional truth"

Screen Anarchy
True Stories (1986)

Publish Date: December 31, 2018
"Mr. Byrne, I hope you're happy with what you've made (...) There are so many stories in Virgil, Texas (...) And who can say it isn't beautiful?"

Screen Anarchy
The Naked Prey (1966)

Publish Date: December 30, 2018
"It is, by today’s standards, just another go-go-go action-every-few-minutes/dialogue lite spectacle (...) But there are indeed deeper layers of appreciation and observation"

Screen Anarchy
Searching for Ingmar Bergman (2018)

Publish Date: September 26, 2018
"Though not the first documentary about Ingmar Bergman, this is the best (...) A proper look into the man and his methods"

Screen Anarchy
The Color of Pomegranates (1969)

Publish Date: May 15, 2018
"[It] remind us that art, its artists, and the lands from which they hail, are all of a piece."
