Showgirls of Pakistan (2020) EDIT “Showgirls of Pakistan is a really fascinating exposé of a subculture that feels like it exists between two worlds.” – Film Inquiry Apr 20, 2023 Full Review Killing Escobar (2021) 88% EDIT “Killing Escobar will be appreciated because, luckily, there's still plenty of appetite for analysing every pixel of the bigger Pablo Escobar picture. In actuality, this documentary merely feels like a Narcos bonus feature.” – Film Inquiry May 15, 2021 Full Review Raising a School Shooter (2021) EDIT “Raising a School Shooter is a forceful documentary, one that examines the profound trauma of parents whose children committed the unspeakable acts.” – Film Inquiry May 15, 2021 Full Review Money Machine (2020) 56% EDIT “Money Machine is a successful follow-up to What Happened in Vegas that wields its power in the volatile alchemy of Ramsey Denison's commitment to justice and the authority's commitment to injustice.” – Film Inquiry Apr 29, 2021 Full Review Luchadoras (2021) 94% EDIT “Luchadoras is a compelling feminist perspective of a subculture, but what makes this wrestling film stand out is the examination of social issues that envelop the subjects' lives.” – Film Inquiry Apr 3, 2021 Full Review The Return: Life After ISIS (2021) 100% EDIT “Sotorra's film doesn't just succeed as an informational and contextual piece - it's also simply a superb piece of filmmaking. Firstly and foremostly, the level of access is absolutely incredible, speaking to the brilliant ability of the producers.” – Film Inquiry Apr 3, 2021 Full Review Charli XCX: Alone Together (2021) 85% EDIT “With its rich storytelling ambition and boundless creativity in aesthetics, Alone Together might be the most novel music biopic in some time.” – Film Inquiry Mar 27, 2021 Full Review Lily Topples The World (2021) 91% EDIT “As humans, our capacity to be inspired is limitless and Lily Topples the World is an incredibly encouraging film about a wonderful wunderkind.” – Film Inquiry Mar 27, 2021 Full Review Reality Winner (2021) 91% EDIT “Though the filmmakers perhaps could have held on until Winner's forthcoming release from prison to obtain the greatest insight, United States vs. Reality Winner is as compelling as a film can be without access to its subject.” – Film Inquiry Mar 27, 2021 Full Review The Lost Sons (2021) 83% EDIT “Unfolding patiently, sensitively and with a handful of twists, The Lost Sons is intriguing and poignant.” – Film Inquiry Mar 23, 2021 Full Review Kid Candidate (2021) 78% EDIT “In just 68 minutes, Kid Candidate is an effective microcosm of small-town American politics.” – Film Inquiry Mar 23, 2021 Full Review WeWork: Or the Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn (2021) 75% EDIT “WeWork is a fascinating conundrum of a documentary. It's as thorough and straightforward as a documentary can get in regards to storytelling, yet its subject remains an unsolvable mystery by the end.” – Film Inquiry Mar 23, 2021 Full Review The Mole Agent (2020) 95% EDIT “What a wonderfully moving film. Endearing and poignant in equal measure, Chilean director Maite Alberdi takes an outlandish premise and effortlessly extracts plenty of humour out of it, ultimately finding deep meanings when she least expects it.” – Film Inquiry Jan 9, 2021 Full Review Jacinta (2020) 100% EDIT “Jacinta is a powerful film about the seemingly unbreakable cycle of addiction and trauma across three generations.” – Film Inquiry Jan 9, 2021 Full Review She Had a Dream (2020) EDIT “Effortlessly balancing the personal and the political - and the invisible line between them - the filmmaker offers a glimpse into the future of a better Tunisia through Binous's unique odyssey.” – Film Inquiry Jan 9, 2021 Full Review A Thousand Cuts (2020) 100% EDIT “A Thousand Cuts is a terrific film about Filipino journalist Maria Ressa, founder of the website Rappler, which allows for a richer exploration of Ressa's incredible character that we hadn't seen before.” – Film Inquiry Dec 25, 2020 Full Review Radiograph of a Family (2020) 100% EDIT “Radiograph of a Family may be the best family memoir documentary since Sarah Polley's Stories We Tell.” – Film Inquiry Dec 25, 2020 Full Review White Noise (2020) 87% EDIT “White Noise is unnerving viewing but surprisingly offers comfort by revealing the diminishing influence of some dangerous individuals.” – Film Inquiry Dec 12, 2020 Full Review Class of '83 (2020) 17% EDIT “Class of '83 is an agonisingly generic dirty cop thriller that somehow confounded me every step of the way.” – Film Inquiry Sep 12, 2020 Full Review Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl (2020) 100% EDIT “Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl is a pretty straightforward biopic that finds value in its raw observation of women in the military.” – Film Inquiry Sep 12, 2020 Full Review The Viewing Booth (2020) 75% EDIT “The Viewing Booth feels so important in a time where the same video could be watched by many yet everyone will have their own truth attached to it, no matter the starkness of the footage.” – Film Inquiry Sep 10, 2020 Full Review The Social Dilemma (2020) 84% EDIT “The Social Dilemma is a deeply compelling treatise on why we're so addicted to our devices.” – Film Inquiry Sep 8, 2020 Full Review You Cannot Kill David Arquette (2020) 85% EDIT “Through style, humor, and a dash of poignancy, the film does a good job of selling you on joining Arquette in his singular odyssey.” – Film Inquiry Aug 25, 2020 Full Review Dil Bechara (2020) 88% EDIT “The film independently works well to provide humour, poignancy, and catchy music, but much of your enjoyment will depend on if you cared for John Green's story the first time around.” – Film Inquiry Aug 15, 2020 Full Review Shakuntala Devi: Human Computer (2020) 73% EDIT “All-in-all, Shakuntala Devi is very much the epitome of a decent Bollywood biopic. Dramatic moments are inflated and comedic moments are designed to be commercially viable to the masses.” – Film Inquiry Aug 15, 2020 Full Review
