Bel Canto (2018) 47% EDIT “No one loves or dies without purpose in this searing and artful film.” – Village Voice Sep 20, 2018 Full Review A Street Cat Named Bob (2016) 77% EDIT “Roger Spottiswoode's slight but warmhearted A Street Cat Named Bob ekes uplift out of melodrama.” – Village Voice Nov 16, 2016 Full Review The Anthropologist (2015) 100% EDIT “The film is saved by its illuminating - if heartbreaking - examination of isolated locales rarely seen on film.” – Village Voice Nov 9, 2016 Full Review Portrait of a Garden (2015) 88% EDIT “Meditative in its slowness and exquisite beauty, Portrait of a Garden is more than a fine documentary - it's a balm for the soul.” – Village Voice Oct 26, 2016 Full Review Before the Flood (2016) 76% EDIT “Frustrating but frequently compelling ...” – Village Voice Oct 20, 2016 Full Review For the Love of Spock (2016) 100% EDIT “Adam tells his father's story with love, but he resists hagiography.” – Village Voice Sep 7, 2016 Full Review Abortion: Stories Women Tell (2016) 100% EDIT “This doc is a tearjerker, but it's also enraging. Taken together, these stories add up to a larger and deeply troubling narrative about what it's like to be a woman living in America today.” – Village Voice Aug 9, 2016 Full Review Garn (2016) 78% EDIT “The film offers fascinating insight into what yarn can do in the talented hands of those determined to elevate mere craft to high art.” – Village Voice Jun 23, 2016 Full Review The God Cells (2016) 57% EDIT “The film relies solely on patient testimony to argue for the legalization of the injections. But what it lacks in comprehensive research, it makes up for in fascinating rhetoric.” – Village Voice Jun 1, 2016 Full Review How to Let Go of the World (and Love All the Things Climate Can't Change) (2016) 75% EDIT “After speaking to several environmental experts, hiking for hours through the Amazon, and discovering just how momentous the threat of climate change is to humanity as we know it, documentarian Josh Fox made a film about himself.” – Village Voice Apr 21, 2016 Full Review Requiem for the American Dream (2015) 92% EDIT “The film lacks visual ingenuity, but the point isn't to show us something new - it's to tell us something we might not have heard. And what Chomsky says is as unsettling as it is persuasive.” – L.A. Weekly Mar 31, 2016 Full Review Catching the Sun (2015) 75% EDIT “The film is most persuasive when demonstrating that the need for solar energy transcends partisan politics.” – Village Voice Mar 29, 2016 Full Review The Messenger (2015) 83% EDIT “The filmmakers, like the songbirds they advocate for, are only messengers, but their message is persuasive and terrifying.” – Village Voice Dec 1, 2015 Full Review A Ballerina's Tale (2015) 78% EDIT “In A Ballerina's Tale, director Nelson George paints a moving portrait of Copeland that underscores her triumphs over bodily and historical limitations.” – Village Voice Oct 13, 2015 Full Review Poached (2015) EDIT “At times the comic tone undercuts the hunters' pleas to be taken seriously. But mostly it raises the question of how seriously the filmmakers take poaching.” – Village Voice Oct 6, 2015 Full Review Beltracchi: The Art of Forgery (2014) 80% EDIT “Beltracchi: The Art of Forgery makes us question not only art, but the experts who claim to understand it best.” – Village Voice Aug 18, 2015 Full Review Emptying the Skies (2013) 90% EDIT “Emptying the Skies performs a grand and aching love by telling its story with a power that enrages.” – Village Voice Apr 22, 2015 Full Review
