    Before Tomorrow (2009)

    " Like all great stories, it paradoxically allows us access to the big picture by bringing us gradually, hauntingly close." — Slant Magazine

    The Hand of Fatima (2009)

    " For all its earnestness, however, The Hand of Fatima feels a little too thematically diffuse to leave a distinct impression." — New York Press

    Women in Trouble (2009)

    " At a particularly rundown corner of Almodóvar Boulevard and Tarantino Lane, you'll find Women in Trouble, a limp, forgettable collection of interlocking tales all centering on the eponymous narrative setup." — Slant Magazine

    Endgame (2009)

    " What sparks are felt throughout come largely from Hurt and Ejiofor, who both seem to understand exactly the type of talky, tentative movie they're in and do their best to bring in some glints of humor and uncertainty." — Slant Magazine

    One Fast Move or I'm Gone: Kerouac's Big Sur (2009)

    " There’s nothing inherently bad about the documentary about the real-life events that eventually culminated in the classic; it’s just that there’s little revelatory in it either." — New York Press

    Adventures of Power (2009)

    " For all the cheap shots in Gold’s script, Adventures of Power views air-drumming with a surprising affection." — New York Press

    Good Hair (2010)

    " That many of these hairstyles derive from standards of beauty laid down by white tastemakers is a question that hangs over Good Hair." — Slant Magazine

    More Than a Game (2009)

    " Conforms to the classic three-act story structure of unexpected success followed by hubristic downfall followed by triumphant return." — Slant Magazine

    Fame (2009)

    " Like its gifted if excitable protagonists, Fame would have done well to stay in the classroom a bit more, rather than trolling the New York streets." — Slant Magazine

    The Human Condition (1959)

    " The Human Condition's ambition, empathy, and visual beauty reward those who choose to commit to its formidable length and uncompromising vision." — Slant Magazine

    N/A

    The Human Condition (1959)

    " It all sounds like a downer, and Human Condition is an indisputably solemn film. Yet it also possesses a restless vitality, with hard cuts juxtaposing abject brutality with pastoral tranquility and romantic longing." — Slant Magazine

    Captain Abu Raed (2008)

    " Captain Abu Raed reaches for restrained empathy but cannot hide its bald-faced emotional manipulations and squishy, sentimental core." — Slant Magazine
