    Little Ashes (2009)

    " With a melodramatic score that alternates between sad violin and romantic guitar, and repetitive reaction shots of Lorca and Dalí in all their dreamy-eyed longing, Little Ashes is broadstroked filmmaking at its most tedious." — Slant Magazine

    Eden (2008)

    The Soviet Story (2008)

    " Soviet Story does a thorough job of laying out what happened, but its dull, educational-style format doesn't guide us to the next step of why we should care." — Slant Magazine
