Evergreen (2019) 8/10 EDIT “...a moving testament to love's simultaneous preciousness and fragility.” – Film Threat Nov 30, 2020 Full Review Drive Me Home (2018) 4/10 EDIT “There's nothing in their acting that surprises you. Their performances are good but uninspired. That description could just as easily apply to Drive Me Home as a whole.” – Film Threat Mar 2, 2020 Full Review When Lambs Become Lions (2018) 94% 9/10 EDIT “Ultimately, watching this film leaves you feeling a mixture of helplessness and despair.” – Film Threat Jan 21, 2020 Full Review Code & Response (2019) 7/10 EDIT “Code & Response is a worthwhile film. Like every good documentary, it exposes you to interesting people and stories that you very likely wouldn't have learned about otherwise.” – Film Threat Dec 18, 2019 Full Review The Corporate Coup D'Etat (2018) 3/10 EDIT “This is a film that aspires to be provocative and subversive - but in spite of its good intentions, it proves consistently incapable of turning its indignation into a coherent, persuasive argument.” – Film Threat Dec 17, 2019 Full Review Ximei (2019) 8/10 EDIT “The film offers a thorough and compassionate study of an individual whose story too often gets ignored.” – Film Threat Dec 12, 2019 Full Review Britt-Marie Was Here (2019) 71% 1/10 EDIT “Its portrayal of Britt-Marie sometimes feels condescending, several of its plot turns make no sense, and its visuals add nothing that wasn't already there in the original book.” – Film Threat Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Lara (2019) 82% EDIT “Even if the film proves rather slight, it suggests that Gerster and Harfouch are two individuals we ought to be paying more attention to.” – Film Inquiry Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Clemency (2019) 92% EDIT “This is a searing film whose insights into human nature will leave you both deeply moved and deeply disturbed.” – Film Inquiry Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Knives Out (2019) 97% EDIT “The contradictions at the heart of Johnson's politics make this an ultimately frustrating addition to the mystery genre.” – Film Inquiry Oct 30, 2019 Full Review I Was at Home, But (2019) 88% EDIT “It may not offer much in the way of entertainment, but this is ultimately a film that deserves to be watched, re-watched, and pondered - slowly.” – Film Inquiry Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Corpus Christi (2019) 98% EDIT “Bielenia imbues his character with a palpable sense of vulnerability, and thanks to him, a story that might otherwise seem familiar feels both fresh and meaningful.” – Film Inquiry Oct 30, 2019 Full Review By the Grace of God (2018) 96% EDIT “Whatever its shortcomings, By the Grace of God gets the fundamentals right. It has an important narrative to tell, and even if it's only a conventional narrative film, it communicates that narrative clearly and persuasively.” – Film Inquiry Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Balloon (2020) 100% EDIT “In a way, the very act of making a film about daily life in Tibet is in itself political - and even if you don't like anything else about it, Balloon deserves credit for making a quiet but meaningful plea for greater ethnic equality.” – Film Inquiry Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Unlikely (2019) 3/10 EDIT “Unlikely ultimately feels both superficial and intellectually dishonest.” – Film Threat Oct 14, 2019 Full Review Out of Omaha (2018) 8/10 EDIT “This documentary has the kind of nuance and intelligence that our public discourse could sorely use - and ultimately, it's everyone's loss that the film is getting next to no attention outside of Nebraska.” – Film Threat Oct 10, 2019 Full Review 6.5/10 EDIT “Despite its deficiencies, Distant Harmony ends up being a surprisingly poignant experience.” – Film Threat Sep 24, 2019 Full Review Send Me to the Clouds (2019) 90% EDIT “In a society that coins new terms to belittle professional women, Send Me to the Clouds is hardly insignificant - and when all is said and done, Teng deserves recognition for her willingness to engage in social criticism.” – Film Threat Sep 23, 2019 Full Review The Blonde One (2019) 91% EDIT “This may not be a film that advertises itself as important, in short, but its sensitivity and perceptiveness will leave a lasting impression.” – Film Threat Sep 23, 2019 Full Review Hail Satan? (2019) 96% EDIT “Hail, Satan? simply doesn't do a good job of making the case for political secularism.” – Film Inquiry Sep 22, 2019 Full Review 7/10 EDIT “When a film has the kind of acting and writing that Bored in the USA has, in short, it somehow doesn't matter that we've seen it all before...” – Film Threat Aug 20, 2019 Full Review Label Me (2019) 100% 6.5/10 EDIT “Label Me gets two crucial things right. In Schuch and Benda, Kreuser has found a perfect pairing, two performers who can pack worlds of emotional nuance into something as simple as a stare or a grimace.” – Film Threat Aug 13, 2019 Full Review Absurd Accident (2017) 83% 6/10 EDIT “Li is undeniably a very skillful director, one who displays an impressive command of both narrative structure and film style.” – Film Threat Jul 22, 2019 Full Review Hurry Slowly (Skynd deg sakte) (2018) 6/10 EDIT “Hurry Slowly won't leave you awestruck, but its best parts ensure that you won't be totally disappointed.” – Film Threat Jul 11, 2019 Full Review Pause (2018) 100% 8/10 EDIT “Pause is a thoughtful, quietly provocative film that spotlights an individual whom most films relegate to the sidelines.” – Film Threat Jul 8, 2019 Full Review
