Carving a Life (2017) 1/5 EDIT “For all the nonsense she's forced to recite, LeGear gives a solid performance as Lauren...would be interested in seeing her in something else. Everything else in this movie is best treated like a wild night out and erased from your memory.” – Film Threat Oct 19, 2021 Full Review Spell (2018) 6/10 EDIT “...what remains is something made with love and talent, but not enough vision to make a lasting impression.” – Film Threat Nov 1, 2019 Full Review Is That You? (2018) EDIT “It's like a cubist painting that shows us all the angles of this miserable household, putting each character's pain into relief. It does this with more emotional force than most "prestige" films that deal with similar issues.” – Film Threat Sep 23, 2019 Full Review Clownado (2019) 1/10 EDIT “It's a limit experience that nobody should have to endure. Please don't watch it out of curiosity. I guarantee you will regret it.” – Film Threat Sep 19, 2019 Full Review Jirga (2018) 78% 7/10 EDIT “Gilmour's hypnotic landscape shots hammer home the vastness, beauty, and cruelty of nature.” – Film Threat Jul 26, 2019 Full Review Scary Stories (2018) 77% 5/10 EDIT “Less than the sum of its parts, it doesn't have enough of a distance from its subject to appeal to non-fans.” – Film Threat May 8, 2019 Full Review Mary Magdalene (2018) 44% 4/10 EDIT “My sense is that there was a vision for Mary Magdalene that got lost somewhere along the way, in editing or rewrites...” – Film Threat Apr 11, 2019 Full Review Smaller and Smaller Circles (2017) 40% 6/10 EDIT “The broad shape of the ending is predictable; by the time you get to it, you could probably write the final confrontation yourself. This a likable, well-intentioned movie, but those qualities don't take it far enough.” – Film Threat Mar 6, 2019 Full Review West of Sunshine (2017) 79% 7/10 EDIT “All of the performances are at least solid, and for an indie, the production value is impressive. It won't reduce you to a weeping mess, but at 78 minutes it's a trim, satisfying drama that does justice to its inspirations.” – Film Threat Feb 7, 2019 Full Review Maki (2018) 5/10 EDIT “Maki is too threadbare to add to the list; like its main characters, it's plagued by indecision.” – Film Threat Dec 18, 2018 Full Review Cargo (2018) EDIT “This movie could be shot by Roger Deakins and come with Smell-O-Vision, and the audience would still be trapped with Anthony Peterson in a one-man show from hell.” – Film Threat Nov 28, 2018 Full Review Full Circle: The Birth, Death & Rebirth of Circle of Dust (2018) 4/10 EDIT “Klayton's fastidious image control means that nothing interesting or personal really comes up. Full Circle is a music documentary with nothing to say about art or the creative process.” – Film Threat Oct 23, 2018 Full Review Charm City (2018) 100% 7/10 EDIT “[Charm City] helps the viewer imagine a future that doesn't require a massive armed police presence to make neighborhoods like Rose Street safer.” – Film Threat Oct 22, 2018 Full Review Tower. A Bright Day. (2018) 5/10 EDIT “Tower. A Bright Day brims with potential. But as the runtime goes on, the two sides of the film-tense domestic drama, sublime art-horror-are an odd fit that doesn't come together.” – Film Threat Sep 24, 2018 Full Review Armed (2018) 7/10 EDIT “Outlandish production design and even more outlandish editing give it its rhythm and energy. For every terrible special effect that looks like an AfterEffects plugin, there was an image that stunned me with its inventive, hyper-saturated vividness.” – Film Threat Sep 20, 2018 Full Review Letter From Masanjia (2018) 100% 8/10 EDIT “Sun Yi's stoicism is admirable and moving, but it's his ex-wife Fu Ning's tearful recollection of their separation that cements the story in your mind.” – Film Threat Sep 17, 2018 Full Review Never Steady, Never Still (2017) 79% 10/10 EDIT “The long gestation period shows: every scene in Never Steady, Never Still feels focused and intentional, like someone has agonized over how to most directly and honestly express the characters' inner states.” – Film Threat Sep 5, 2018 Full Review Tell Me Your Name (2018) 38% 5/10 EDIT “Along Came The Devil's premise seems interesting at first but quickly devolves into a standard "possessed young girl" story.” – Film Threat Aug 28, 2018 Full Review 93Queen (2018) 94% 7/10 EDIT “Ultimately, it's a fascinating study of contradictions in values, made by and featuring women who want to transcend those contradictions.” – Film Threat Jul 11, 2018 Full Review Guilty Men (2016) 8/10 EDIT “Guilty Men can be suspenseful one minute and a dryly funny study of machismo the next.” – Film Threat Jun 29, 2018 Full Review Blue (2017) 83% 7/10 EDIT “Moral clarity isn't a bad thing when you can back it up. The narrators frequently drop statistics that shocked me.” – Film Threat Jun 8, 2018 Full Review 1987: When the Day Comes (2017) 82% 5/5 EDIT “1987 speaks more to our current moment than anything Hollywood is producing.” – Film Threat May 21, 2018 Full Review
