100% | Junun (2015) |
Junun treats each piece with the respect it's due: takes are shown from start to finish, and their closing cadences allowed to hang for a moment in the air. - Sight and Sound

83% | The Walk (2015) |
It's hard in the end to think of a single aspect of Petit's feat that is better served by Zemeckis's treatment than Marsh's [in Man on Wire]. - Sight and Sound

76% | Bjork: Biophilia Live (2014) |
To adapt a very old quotation, Biophilia Live asserts that nothing human is foreign to nature. - Sight and Sound

59% | Finding Fela! (2014) |
Finding Fela fully earns its two-hour running time, and could easily have sustained more, such is the wealth of material and music, and such is the brisk momentum maintained by Gibney and editor Lindy Jankura. - Sight and Sound

85% | Berberian Sound Studio (2013) |
Berberian Sound Studio refuses such a climax: it at once celebrates giallo and takes it apart, disassembling it like Derren Brown explaining an illusion. - Sight and Sound

98% | GasLand (2010) |
With a remorselessness all the more powerful for its quiet unfussiness, Fox builds up a riveting portrait of near-apocalyptic environmental damage and a corporate mindset willing to ruin water sources irrevocably for the sake of a few years' profit. - Sight and Sound
