Bernie (2012) |
"
Linklater, admirably unconcerned about how his film can be categorized, has made a comedy, a drama and most certainly a character study."

Elles (2012) |
"
This is not an entirely new idea. Nor does "Elles" offer any new insights into either domestic slavery or sex work. But it does offer a lot of sex, which for some will be just fine."

Portrait of Wally (2012) |
"
Turning over rocks in and around the New York art world, helmer Andrew Shea finds a lot of ugly stuff while chronicling what amounts to a 60-year hostage drama centered around the Egon Schiele oil painting that gives the film its title."
