Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
3.5/4 —— Shuga (Chouga) (2007) " Perhaps no director since Hitchcock has been quite this obsessed with glimpses and gazes." — Slant Magazine
Posted Oct 9, 2008
3/4 96% Tulpan (2009) " A folk tale disguised as a documentary, Sergei Dvortsevoy's Tulpan appears something like actual reality, half-planned and half-found." — Slant Magazine
Posted Oct 5, 2008
1.5/4 —— Northern Land () " Something like a bad Oliveira forgery." — Slant Magazine
Posted Sep 29, 2008
2/4 97% Entre les Murs (The Class) (2008) " At best, The Class is great reality TV." — Slant Magazine
Posted Sep 23, 2008
.5/4 86% Wonderful Town (2007) " Contemplative cinema with nothing to contemplate." — Slant Magazine
Posted Jul 13, 2008
3.5/4 91% Momma's Man (2008) " Momma's Man, completely unshakeable, is implicitly nostalgic, about a nostalgic man, but only because it has such an unsentimental commitment to the gap between past and present." — Slant Magazine
Posted Mar 22, 2008
2/4 —— Eat, for This is My Body (Mange, ceci est mon corps) (2007) " Eat stupidly elides Fleischer's rationalist approach to the most fervently unreasonable impulses." — Slant Magazine
Posted Mar 20, 2008
3.5/4 30% Boarding Gate (2008) " Boarding Gate, B-movie heir to Phil Karlson and Ingmar Bergman, screws any pretence of naturalism for hallucinatory confrontations." — Slant Magazine
Posted Mar 19, 2008
3/4 —— Foster Child (2007) " Like Cristian Mungiu did in 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, Brillante Mendoza attempts to take the camera from the opening shot of Touch of Evil to quotidian life in the slums." — Slant Magazine
Posted Mar 13, 2008
2/4 82% The Silence Before Bach (Die Stille vor Bach) (2007) " Twaddle pitched somewhere between a music appreciation class and a modernist experiment attesting to art's ability to ennoble the quotidian." — Slant Magazine
Posted Jan 23, 2008
1/4 64% Arranged (2007) " At least Arranged understands that its message is directed at naïve children." — Slant Magazine
