Underground Inc.: The Rise & Fall of Alternative Rock (2019) 6/10 EDIT “What was great to see was that out of the rubble of 1990s alternative rock, many of these artists went on to have moderately successful careers as musicians and producers, influencing the direction of rock music to this day.” – Film Threat Mar 8, 2022 Full Review Breaking Ice (2020) 7/10 EDIT “Breaking Ice runs briskly, building up the emotional stakes without getting bogged down by technical or tangential details.” – Film Threat Jul 14, 2021 Full Review Good Funk (2016) 7/10 EDIT “Due to its realism and beauty, Good Funk has captured an experience that will remain a powerful microcosm of the American immigrant experience. But it is not always as smooth as one might hope for.” – Film Threat Jun 29, 2021 Full Review Ascension (2021) 98% 7/10 EDIT “In humanizing Chinese people and bringing light to the most pressing issues facing Chinese society, Kingdon has also drawn a connection between the American experience and the Chinese one.” – Film Threat Jun 14, 2021 Full Review Through the Night (2020) 100% 7/10 EDIT “Through The Night shines a light on the unsustainable work that people must do to survive in an untenable society...working non-stop, never seeing their children, just to tread water.” – Film Threat May 26, 2021 Full Review MLK/FBI (2020) 98% 7/10 EDIT “It is a thorough examination of over a decade of conflict and strife, packaged into a feature film, which is no small feat. But its failure to focus on the FBI investigation and muddying its portrayal of King hurts the overall production.” – Film Threat May 25, 2021 Full Review Knots: A Forced Marriage Story (2020) 100% 7/10 EDIT “The film's plot is strong, powerfully weaving together these three unique stories of suffering, struggle, and hard-fought liberation.” – Film Threat May 11, 2021 Full Review Coming From Insanity (2019) 4/10 EDIT “Akinropo tackled a hugely complex and difficult story for his debut feature. Unfortunately, his lack of experience comes forth in the writing and directing of Coming From Insanity.” – Film Threat Apr 5, 2021 Full Review Everybody Flies (2019) 8/10 EDIT “Everybody Flies doesn't spare a second of its lean 90-minute runtime.” – Film Threat Mar 15, 2021 Full Review The House That Rob Built (2020) 88% 7/10 EDIT “The House That Rob Built is a shining example of bringing people together and empowering them through sports.” – Film Threat Mar 7, 2021 Full Review I Wrote This for You (2018) 3/10 EDIT “A frustrating slog that occasionally shows faint glimmers of a better movie.” – Film Threat Feb 11, 2021 Full Review I Am Greta (2020) 77% 7/10 EDIT “A humanistic examination of this young activist.” – Film Threat Jan 4, 2021 Full Review The Honeymoon Phase (2019) 75% 5/10 EDIT “The Honeymoon Phase never rose above being a bargain bin Black Mirror.” – Film Threat Dec 21, 2020 Full Review The Test and the Art of Thinking (2018) 100% 7/10 EDIT “I think that the filmmaker included many interesting details in the final product, but I also feel that a more streamlined narrative, alongside the tangential explorations, would have made for a more emotionally effective and impactful movie.” – Film Threat Dec 15, 2020 Full Review The Mole Agent (2020) 95% 6/10 EDIT “Through a unique premise and an engrossing style, The Mole Agent shines a light on a part of our society that we don't talk or think about enough.” – Film Threat Dec 4, 2020 Full Review Music Got Me Here (2020) EDIT “This was Susan Koch's story, but I could not grasp what she was saying while watching this film.” – Film Threat Dec 2, 2020 Full Review Landfall (2020) 92% 7/10 EDIT “While it served as a good introduction to the current economic, political, and cultural crisis of Puerto Rico for me, it was clear that the filmmakers either didn't have or lost sight of a clear message with this film.” – Film Threat Nov 19, 2020 Full Review Martin Eden (2019) 88% 6/10 EDIT “It suffers from a lack of clear direction, leading to its many excellent pieces never quite fitting together. Despite that, as a love letter to Italy's past and a unique historical drama, Martin Eden does have something to offer audiences.” – Film Threat Nov 9, 2020 Full Review The Hole (1998) 84% 5/10 EDIT “Despite a strong premise, powerful visuals, and excellent performances, I could not even grasp what it was trying to say by the end.” – Film Threat Oct 12, 2020 Full Review Pool Boy Nightmare (2020) 3/10 EDIT “Muddled execution leaves Pool Boy Nightmare both uncomfortable and uninteresting to experience.” – Film Threat Oct 8, 2020 Full Review Nightcrawlers (2019) 8/10 EDIT “The absolute destruction of McCoy is on full display by the end, revealing the movie to be both a cautionary tale and piece of art determined to save its creator from being just another statistic.” – Film Threat Sep 25, 2020 Full Review The Parrot (2016) 4/10 EDIT “Papagajka starts with the mystery of an intriguing and beautiful world but, unfortunately, doesn't go beyond a surface level exploration of its world and characters.” – Film Threat Sep 12, 2020 Full Review
