Body and Soul: The State of the Jewish Nation (2014) EDIT “A concise, skillful recounting of the story of the Jewish people and their connection to the land of Israel.” – New York Times Jan 16, 2018 Full Review No Dress Code Required (2017) 100% EDIT “"No Dress Code Required" chronicles the grudging advance of cultural change.” – New York Times Nov 2, 2017 Full Review Aida's Secrets (2016) 100% EDIT “The remarkable tale it tells - of a family split up and dispersed to different continents, and the detective work required to figure out what had happened - turns this documentary into a fascinating mystery of reshuffled identities.” – New York Times Oct 19, 2017 Full Review Pearl Jam: Let's Play Two (2017) 80% EDIT “It shares a side of Mr. Vedder his fans will enjoy: the baseball aficionado who fills out a scorecard and treats Wrigley sod as holy ground.” – New York Times Sep 28, 2017 Full Review Unrest (2017) 100% EDIT “It powerfully insists on giving a voice to victims whose greatest challenge, apart from their symptoms, is surmounting a world of indifference.” – New York Times Sep 21, 2017 Full Review The Wrong Light (2016) 80% EDIT “In the end, "The Wrong Light" is an engrossing cautionary tale teaching one of philanthropy's oldest lessons: Caveat emptor.” – New York Times Jul 13, 2017 Full Review I Am the Blues (2015) 100% EDIT “Mr. Rush is amiable company, quick with stories about playing for next to nothing in the 1950s and '60s.” – New York Times Jul 12, 2017 Full Review Food Evolution (2016) 100% EDIT “With a soft tone, respectful to opponents but insistent on the data, "Food Evolution" posits an inconvenient truth for organic boosters to swallow: In a world desperate for safe, sustainable food, G.M.O.s may well be a force for good.” – New York Times Jun 22, 2017 Full Review Long Strange Trip (2017) 100% EDIT “A bountiful trove of archival images and rare footage sketches their communal life offstage and the counterculture in which they played so formative a part. Crew members, family and fans share memories and lore.” – New York Times May 25, 2017 Full Review Mr. Chibbs (2016) 43% EDIT “The film, like its subject, frustrates in its inability to focus; there is no deep inquiry into what makes Anderson tick. It's like skimming a stone across a lake.” – New York Times May 2, 2017 Full Review The Ataxian (2015) EDIT “"The Ataxian" has moments of inspiration, beauty, even euphoria. But its lasting contribution is in making the world a little more familiar with this disease, and a little less lonely for the families struggling against it.” – New York Times Dec 15, 2016 Full Review The Rolling Stones Olé, Olé, Olé!: A Trip Across Latin America (2016) 100% EDIT “Directed slickly by Paul Dugdale, "Ol" is less a concert film or travelogue than a historical account - swiftly, smartly assembled, reflecting events only six months old.” – New York Times Sep 29, 2016 Full Review Never Surrender: The Ed Ramsey Story (2016) EDIT “"Never Surrender" frustrates with its lack of focus.” – New York Times Sep 29, 2016 Full Review The Ruins of Lifta (2016) 100% EDIT “Achingly poignant ...” – New York Times Sep 22, 2016 Full Review Starving the Beast (2016) 94% EDIT “Academics used to joke that campus politics were so vicious because the stakes were so small. That's no longer the case, at least where the stakes are concerned, as "Starving the Beast" makes clear.” – New York Times Sep 8, 2016 Full Review Other People (2016) 88% EDIT “Inherently melodramatic, the film belongs to Ms. Shannon, who vividly etches Joanne in a full end-of-life range: funny, loving, angry, regretful, exhausted, resigned.” – New York Times Sep 8, 2016 Full Review I Am Not a Serial Killer (2016) 93% EDIT “A well-filmed indie that doesn't let its low budget get in the way of some true chills.” – New York Times Aug 25, 2016 Full Review Operation Chromite (2016) 40% EDIT “The wooden dialogue gives Liam Neeson little to do beyond bite on his corncob pipe and berate subordinates who dare question him.” – New York Times Aug 11, 2016 Full Review The Brooklyn Banker (2016) 20% EDIT “So much pedigree, so little payoff.” – New York Times Aug 4, 2016 Full Review Ants on a Shrimp (2016) 78% EDIT “Mr. Redzepi is a restless soul, and Maurice Dekkers's engaging "Ants on a Shrimp" follows him on an adventure that seems almost recklessly impulsive.” – New York Times Jul 28, 2016 Full Review Outlaws and Angels (2016) 30% EDIT “Virtually every character has a dark side, and every victim has it coming. That gets old, too.” – New York Times Jul 14, 2016 Full Review Free to Run (2016) 57% EDIT “"Free to Run" prefers nothing more than an easy jog down memory lane.” – New York Times Jul 14, 2016 Full Review Last Cab to Darwin (2015) 88% EDIT “Smartly directed by Jeremy Sims, this sweet-hearted film mostly manages to avoid triteness even as it casually packs an emotional punch.” – New York Times Jun 9, 2016 Full Review Phantom of the Theatre (2016) 50% EDIT “Like one of its unfortunate acrobats, the movie spins out of control.” – New York Times May 5, 2016 Full Review Class Divide (2015) 100% EDIT “What "Class Divide" does exceptionally well is capture the sense of change at warp speed. In their bones, the public-housing kids know that it's only a matter of time before they're forced to leave.” – New York Times Apr 13, 2016 Full Review
