A Ghost Story (2017) 91% 8.9/10 EDIT “A Ghost Story rewards viewers who are willing to engage with it, to accept its evolving premise and experience the expressionless specter's afterlife as it reveals itself.” – Paste Magazine Jul 27, 2017 Full Review Weiner (2016) 96% 8.1/10 EDIT “If the filmmakers had an agenda besides studying Weiner's character, they did a great job of hiding it. Weiner shows many facets of his personality: He can be charming and funny, but he can also be a petulant, entitled jerk.” – Paste Magazine May 19, 2016 Full Review The Wonders (2014) 96% 8.4/10 EDIT “The most impressive aspect of The Wonders is that it manages to explore so many different themes without seeming disjointed.” – Paste Magazine Oct 29, 2015 Full Review The Russian Woodpecker (2015) 96% 6.9/10 EDIT “As far as unconvincing arguments go, The Russian Woodpecker is as sleek as they come.” – Paste Magazine Oct 22, 2015 Full Review The Bronze (2015) 37% 5.4/10 EDIT “[Buckley's] visuals are both predictably bright and colorful, and his production design nails small-town charm as well as the odd world of Olympic gymnastics. Yet nothing ever really adds up.” – Paste Magazine Jul 9, 2015 Full Review Güeros (2014) 93% 7.8/10 EDIT “It touches on real issues like student strikes and class disparity, but does so with whimsical flexibility and self-aware humor.” – Paste Magazine May 29, 2015 Full Review The D Train (2015) 55% 4.9/10 EDIT “The D Train introduces the most aggravating character imaginable, then forces you to spend 97 minutes with him.” – Paste Magazine May 7, 2015 Full Review Merchants of Doubt (2014) 86% 7.3/10 EDIT “When your objective is to get nothing done, you have a serious advantage. If honesty isn't a priority, things get even easier. This is the most impactful -- and the most depressing -- takeaway of Robert Kenner's documentary.” – Paste Magazine Mar 5, 2015 Full Review Hard to Be a God (2013) 95% 6.1/10 EDIT “As breathtaking as Hard to Be a God often can be, it's a monotonous slog.” – Paste Magazine Jan 29, 2015 Full Review Timbuktu (2014) 98% 8.8/10 EDIT “Sissako captures his story with poetic precision rather than gritty realism. Each shot is deliberately composed, and the transitions to new scenes follow a unique rhythm.” – Paste Magazine Jan 29, 2015 Full Review Inherent Vice (2014) 73% 8.7/10 EDIT “This film [is] one that must be seen again, if not to better understand it, then to remember the sweet feeling of reveling in its haze.” – Paste Magazine Dec 11, 2014 Full Review Camp X-Ray (2014) 74% 7.3/10 EDIT “Payman Moaadi's performance in Camp X-Ray shines with enough humanity to illuminate the whole movie.” – Paste Magazine Oct 30, 2014 Full Review Listen Up Philip (2014) 82% 8.4/10 EDIT “The creative elite of New York are always a prime target for satire -- so much money, yet so much malaise -- but they're rarely hit as mercilessly as in Alex Ross Perry's Listen Up Philip.” – Paste Magazine Oct 30, 2014 Full Review The Zero Theorem (2013) 49% 6.9/10 EDIT “The Zero Theorem is at its best when it's slyly comedic, mixing clever visual gags with its mysterious plot. When it pushes things, the tone becomes unstable, and the philosophical content falls short.” – Paste Magazine Sep 18, 2014 Full Review God Help the Girl (2014) 67% 7.6/10 EDIT “God Help the Girl is like a pop song that is a bit unshapely and a little silly, but you can't get it out of your head.” – Paste Magazine Sep 8, 2014 Full Review Memphis (2013) 74% 7.1/10 EDIT “Tim Sutton's movie is a relaxed, contemplative meander through the city with this man and the people in his life.” – Paste Magazine Sep 4, 2014 Full Review Frank (2014) 92% 7.1/10 EDIT “Director Lenny Abrahamson finds plenty of humor in his band of misfit characters, but the movie doesn't treat their odd behavior as mere fodder for slapstick. The movie's heart lies in its understanding of their fragility.” – Paste Magazine Aug 21, 2014 Full Review Life Itself (2014) 98% 8.5/10 EDIT “Life Itself may tell the story of a remarkable life, but it's at its most enlightening when dealing with death.” – Paste Magazine Jul 7, 2014 Full Review The Last Sentence (2012) 74% 5.7/10 EDIT “The screenplay's exposition clunks along quite awkwardly, as characters find convenient reasons to spout out background information.” – Paste Magazine Jun 19, 2014 Full Review Chinese Puzzle (2013) 78% 7.4/10 EDIT “At it's best, this movie is pure fun. Those ignorant or forgetful of its predecessors might miss some references, but they won't have a problem enjoying its warmth, energy and humor.” – Paste Magazine May 16, 2014 Full Review God's Pocket (2014) 36% 5.7/10 EDIT “God's Pocket has all the ingredients of a mischievous black comedy, but is neither sly nor merciless enough to embrace the absurdity of its tragedy.” – Paste Magazine May 14, 2014 Full Review Noah (2014) 75% 7.9/10 EDIT “It's these uneasy shades of gray that make Noah such a compelling movie.” – Paste Magazine Mar 28, 2014 Full Review Blackfish (2013) 98% 7.5/10 EDIT “Blackfish delivers ominous chills not because it documents orca whale attacks, but because it makes a clear, strong case that the attacks are of humankind's making. It's more Frankenstein than Jaws.” – Paste Magazine Jan 1, 2014 Full Review Camille Claudel, 1915 (2013) 80% 8.1/10 EDIT “Art and madness have always coexisted, but Camille Claudel, 1915 is about what happens when you take away the art and stifle a troubled, extraordinary mind.” – Paste Magazine Oct 24, 2013 Full Review 99 Percent: The Occupy Wall Street Collaborative Film (2013) 67% 6.3/10 EDIT “It's not definitive, tidy or entirely cohesive, but hey, neither was the movement.” – Paste Magazine Sep 19, 2013 Full Review
