2.5/4 67% Philip Roth: Unmasked (2013) " In spite of the film's exhaustive chronology, those who deduce from its title that they're in for an unveiling, or an unraveling, of a major literary figure may come out empty-handed." — Slant Magazine

56% Aus dem Leben der Marionetten (From the Life of the Marionettes) (1980) " It's in those fully imagined marital fights that the film sheds it straightjacket of alternating plot twists, and lets the richer, more mournful emotions creep in." — House Next Door

2.5/4 59% La Rafle (2012) " Sentimentality may make the movie's agony more digestible, but its darkness resists any glossing over of what isn't only France's, but Europe's painful legacy." — Slant Magazine

3.5/4 94% Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters (2012) " Ben Shapiro's goal isn't so much a comprehensive biopic as an in-the-moment snapshot of creative fervent." — Slant Magazine

4/4 78% Die Blechtrommel (The Tin Drum) (1979) " In Volker Schlöndorff's restored version of his 1979 classic, Oskar Matzerath emerges as a tragic anti-hero, whose lustful imagination and prodigious magical gifts can't shield him from the juggernaut of war." — Slant Magazine

4/4 80% Daisies (2012) " The film's daisies are young girls who have reached pubescence, and are fully aware of their sexual power, but aren't ready to embrace it, so they test it first." — Slant Magazine
Posted Jul 3, 2012
2/4 50% A Burning Hot Summer (2012) " The Louis Garrel character's mixture of self-containment and alleged possessiveness over his wife fails to convince, if not to irritate." — Slant Magazine
Posted Jun 25, 2012
100% The Invisible War (2012) " Kirby Dick shows a great commitment to the stories of individual women" — House Next Door

3.5/4 98% Oslo, August 31st (2012) " The evocation of things ending suffuses the film with melancholy, as Anders increasingly becomes an observant rather than a participant in his own life." — Slant Magazine
Posted Mar 19, 2012
2.5/4 94% Neighbouring Sounds (2012) " Kleber Mendonça Filho's Neighboring Sounds is a film one would love to like. " — Slant Magazine
