Remembering Every Night (2022) 87% EDIT “This is pensive, slow-slow cinema, like Bela Tarr with color but less compositional heft or, sometimes, clarity.” – New York Times Sep 14, 2023 Full Review Vera (2022) 100% EDIT “That this compelling film somehow manages to feel hopeful is a minor miracle of careful artistry.” – New York Times Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Return to Dust (2022) 96% EDIT “A touching portrait of love and resiliency in a collapsing rural community of Gansu Province.” – New York Times Jul 20, 2023 Full Review White Building (2021) 95% EDIT “The film’s loose plotting and secondary character development can leave a few too many hanging threads, but its sense of place is so palpable you can almost smell the smoky city markets, the sweat, the hormones.” – New York Times May 18, 2023 Full Review Passion (2008) 100% EDIT ““Passion” has a low-fi, hangout feel, flush with the youthful indie energy and forgivable pretensions of an artist who believes that filmmaking matters. Hamaguchi is still a student but already finding his voice.” – New York Times Apr 13, 2023 Full Review Walk Up (2022) 97% EDIT “Like many great artists, Hong appears in some ways to be trying to tell the same story over and over, each new film an attempt to solve the same essential riddle about what makes us tick. Just as well.” – New York Times Mar 23, 2023 Full Review Are You Lonesome Tonight? (2021) 100% EDIT “If the premise of “Lonesome” feels a little familiar, the director Wen Shipei still manages to keep us guessing.” – New York Times Mar 16, 2023 Full Review Hidden Blade (2023) 67% EDIT “However crisp and stylishly executed, the parts don’t quite add up to a satisfying whole.” – New York Times Feb 16, 2023 Full Review The Novelist's Film (2022) 100% EDIT “A Chekhovian study in small moments and chance encounters, which is to say it is a study of human beings as they really live: ambiguously and without exposition, spontaneously and without tidy motives or resolution.” – New York Times Oct 27, 2022 Full Review Stars at Noon (2022) 63% EDIT “As usual in Denis’s work, the smallest act or subtlest gesture can open entire worlds of feeling and consequence.” – New York Times Oct 13, 2022 Full Review Casablanca Beats (2021) 86% EDIT “Hip-hop isn’t dead, the film energetically insists; it’s just been hiding in a Moroccan slum.” – New York Times Sep 15, 2022 Full Review House of Darkness (2022) 60% EDIT “Conclusions hardly matter in a deeply contrived world of nonspecific female characters, allowing even for the freedoms of allegory.” – New York Times Sep 8, 2022 Full Review We Are Living Things (2021) 86% EDIT “Tibaldi and his co-writer, Àlex Lora, do much with little, and one is likely to finish with more questions than resolutions — fitting for a film about various forms of alien life.” – New York Times Aug 11, 2022 Full Review A Balance (2020) 89% EDIT “[A] knotty and suspenseful morality tale...” – New York Times Jul 28, 2022 Full Review Costa Brava, Lebanon (2021) 89% EDIT “A smart and sensitive film.” – New York Times Jul 14, 2022 Full Review Olga (2021) 92% EDIT “It matters little now whether Grappe meant to examine the consequences of Western complacency toward democracy’s enemies. Here we are, and here is this quietly poignant film, a heartbreaking reminder of the cost in individual lives and dreams.” – New York Times Jun 23, 2022 Full Review A New Old Play (2021) 100% EDIT “At once tragedy and farce, it breathes new life into a story as old as civilization.” – New York Times May 19, 2022 Full Review
