Smoke Sauna Sisterhood (2023) 96% 3.5/4 EDIT “The film transmits an immediate and powerful experience of profound communion between people bound by shared hardship.” – Slant Magazine Nov 23, 2023 Full Review Fallen Leaves (2023) 97% 3.5/4 EDIT “Aki Kaurismäki’s latest is deeply alert to the sensory pleasures of the world.” – Slant Magazine Sep 9, 2023 Full Review Godland (2022) 92% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film’s unifying theme is the egocentrism and inevitable violence of masculinity.” – Slant Magazine Feb 1, 2023 Full Review Pacifiction (2022) 88% 3.5/4 EDIT “Pacifiction uses its thin narrative elements as a pretense to explore the texture of uncertainty, suspicion, and inaction.” – Slant Magazine Jul 8, 2022 Full Review The Tale of King Crab (2021) 90% 3/4 EDIT “A film that so clearly takes delight in the unfolding of a story and the unpacking of an enigmatic character is refreshing in an arthouse landscape where such narrative qualities are often relegated to secondary concerns.” – Slant Magazine Apr 19, 2022 Full Review Donbass (2018) 88% 3/4 EDIT “The collisions between the grave and the comic are crucial to the films vision of a society cracking under the weight of its inconsistencies.” – Slant Magazine Apr 2, 2022 Full Review Adoption (1975) 100% EDIT “Adoption emerges as a warm testament to feminine willpower, which isnt to say that its idealistic or unduly celebratory. ” – Slant Magazine Apr 1, 2022 Full Review That Kind of Summer (2022) 78% 3/4 EDIT “That Kind of Summer never quite resolves into any one stance on its subjects, an equanimity thats to its credit.” – Slant Magazine Feb 17, 2022 Full Review Licorice Pizza (2021) 90% 4/4 EDIT “It's the hints of danger, employed like ghost notes in a shuffling rhythm, that lend the film its sneaky depth of feeling.” – Slant Magazine Nov 20, 2021 Full Review Contes Immoraux (1974) 75% EDIT “Accuse Walerian Borowczyk of perpetrating a pervy male gaze, but never accuse him of repressing anything.” – Slant Magazine Nov 3, 2021 Full Review The Beast (1975) 68% EDIT “Accuse Walerian Borowczyk of perpetrating a pervy male gaze, but never accuse him of repressing anything.” – Slant Magazine Nov 3, 2021 Full Review Slow Machine (2020) 83% 3/4 EDIT “The film navigates a tricky space between pathos and absurdity and often turns on a dime from one to the other.” – Slant Magazine Jun 3, 2021 Full Review Friends and Strangers (2021) 72% 3.5/4 EDIT “The film's tonal and situational shapeshifting doesn't go to the surrealist lengths of Luis Buñuel's The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, but James Vaughan similarly indulges in burlesquing upper-middle-class complacency.” – Slant Magazine May 6, 2021 Full Review About Endlessness (2019) 95% 3.5/4 EDIT “Rather than eliciting surprise and wonder, Roy Andersson channels his full stylistic arsenal in search of something far more delicate: a recognition of the sublime in the prosaic.” – Slant Magazine Apr 29, 2021 Full Review Slalom (2020) 100% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film's real subject is a young woman awakening to her oppression, rendered poignant in all its awkwardness by Noée Abita.” – Slant Magazine Apr 5, 2021 Full Review Social Hygiene (2021) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “Compellingly and surprisingly, the film doesn't propose an entirely celebratory view of our accountability-seeking present.” – Slant Magazine Mar 4, 2021 Full Review Just Don't Think I'll Scream (2019) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “Its most immediate appeal is the simple scavenger's thrill of encountering so many tantalizing images in different formats from across film history in swift succession.” – Slant Magazine Jan 25, 2021 Full Review The Truffle Hunters (2020) 97% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film's reminder of the fragility of agrarian traditions in the face of a merciless profit motive is delivered with tact and subtlety.” – Slant Magazine Sep 17, 2020 Full Review The Nest (2020) 90% 2/4 EDIT “Sean Durkin's sweated-over filmmaking tediously lifts a familiar tale of domestic dysfunction to the level of myth.” – Slant Magazine Sep 15, 2020 Full Review Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets (2020) 93% 3.5/4 EDIT “It's in certain characters' trajectories that the Ross brothers locate the tragic soul of the bar.” – Slant Magazine Jul 7, 2020 Full Review Fourteen (2019) 98% 3.5/4 EDIT “Dan Sallitt recognizes that even the sturdiest of friendships are inevitably tested by time and the evolution of personal responsibility.” – Slant Magazine May 11, 2020 Full Review A White, White Day (2019) 94% 2/4 EDIT “There's a moving study within the film of a man in emotional paralysis learning to redirect his love from the past to the present, but it's too often obscured by a muted revenge yarn that's no less banal because it's tastefully directed.” – Slant Magazine Apr 14, 2020 Full Review Heimat is a Space in Time (2019) 100% 3/4 EDIT “Thomas Heise's documentary seeks to excavate real human thought and feeling beneath the haze of larger political structures.” – Slant Magazine Mar 10, 2020 Full Review Empty Metal (2018) 83% 3/4 EDIT “Adam Khalil and Bayley Sweitzer have fashioned a topical lightning rod with Empty Metal, though not in a manner that suggests willful provocation.” – Slant Magazine Dec 4, 2019 Full Review Light From Light (2019) 93% 3/4 EDIT “Only in focusing so thoroughly on the normal does Paul Harrill's film stumble upon the paranormal.” – Slant Magazine Oct 29, 2019 Full Review
