T-Meter Title | Year
9.2/10 92% Elizabeth is Missing (2019) The film is a frustrating work in that it details layers and layers of frustration on every front, but it's also simple, beautiful, and effective. Elizabeth may be missing in a tangible sense, but increasingly in her own life, Maud is too. - Paste Magazine EDIT

80% Patton Oswalt: Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals Time (2014) While Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals Time might not be a watershed hour of stand-up -- one that doesn't challenge audiences, break taboos or illuminate ordinary things in a new light -- "Dad" Patton is a decent guy to spend an hour with. - Hollywood Reporter EDIT

B+ 98% Deadwood: The Movie (2019) Deadwood movie's structure mirrors the events of its own story: it's a celebration, a coming together of old friends, a facing down of the past and personal demons, and an acceptance of a new way forward. - Collider EDIT

4/5 79% The Child in Time (2018) The time motif plays an important and almost supernatural role in the story, but its effects are more poetic than anything. - Collider EDIT

91% Faults (2015) Faults is a taught and charismatic work, and also the latest film to tackle the subject of cults in a quietly earnest way. - Collider EDIT
