Caniba (2017) 58% EDIT “Caniba may be tough to take in, but you'd have a difficult time finding another film that contains this much fascinating and terrible humanity.” – Cinema Scope Oct 2, 2017 Full Review Félicité (2017) 98% EDIT “Félicité alluringly oscillates from the high-energy, casually tragic reality of the street to the faintly phantasmagorical serenity of the nocturnal realm and back again.” – Cinema Scope Oct 2, 2017 Full Review Staying Vertical (2016) 75% EDIT “The pacing and mise en scène of Staying Vertical are as deliberate as the events of its plot are hallucinatory, yielding a marriage of exacting form and content that encompasses the mundane and the fantastic in equal measure.” – Film Comment Magazine Jan 3, 2017 Full Review Happy Hour (2015) 100% EDIT “Buoyed by four captivating performances from its unheralded actresses, Happy Hour is a fascinating, towering confection of contradictions.” – Film Comment Magazine Sep 26, 2016 Full Review The Island of St. Matthews (2013) 67% EDIT “The workers' lovingly filmed activity registers as both ravishing and profound, yielding a mostly spellbinding linkage between the ostensibly mundane and the metaphysical.” – Film Comment Magazine Apr 28, 2014 Full Review Vic & Flo Saw a Bear (2013) 88% EDIT “Côté and his collaborators have crafted an astounding movie that doesn't care about being adored but that certainly demands to be dealt with.” – Film Comment Magazine Feb 14, 2014 Full Review All the Light in the Sky (2012) 80% EDIT “For a filmmaker whose work is mostly about the overdue onset of adulthood, it makes sense that Swanberg's first film to zero in on the subject of aging is only interested in middle age as the flipside of youth on the existential coin.” – Film Comment Magazine Jan 14, 2014 Full Review Uncle Kent (2011) 60% EDIT “Uncle Kent is much too intriguing to be discarded as merely twee, softcore hackwork.” – Film Comment Magazine Nov 7, 2013 Full Review Terri (2011) 88% EDIT “Whereas Jacobs pre has been most concerned for the past four decades with using cinema as an instrument for exploring the mechanics and boundaries of visual perception, Jacobs fils is less a mad scientist than a misfit bard.” – Film Comment Magazine Nov 5, 2013 Full Review The Do-Deca-Pentathlon (2012) 78% EDIT “But if Cyrus succeeded as a marriage of established (that is to say, bankable) Hollywood performers and the already codified mumblecore aesthetic, The Do-Deca-Pentathlon comes off as pointless retread.” – Film Comment Magazine Nov 5, 2013 Full Review Post Tenebras Lux (2012) 53% EDIT “Post Tenebras Lux is a film rich with sheer material presence, making good on Reygadas's apparent intention to make the viewer truly feel the audible and the visible, but his pictorial gimmickry can only do so much aesthetic heavy-lifting.” – Film Comment Magazine Nov 5, 2013 Full Review Sun Don't Shine (2012) 92% EDIT “Musty, sticky, hot, and taut with psychopathological tension, Amy Seimetz's feature-length directorial debut is, to put it mildly, a bad trip.” – Film Comment Magazine Nov 5, 2013 Full Review I Used to Be Darker (2013) 81% EDIT “Few filmmakers are getting at the substance of contemporary life as effectively.” – Film Comment Magazine Nov 4, 2013 Full Review Drinking Buddies (2013) 84% EDIT “Swanberg is not so much kowtowing to romcom convention as putting great care into crafting something idiosyncratic, sneakily intelligent-and totally disposable.” – Film Comment Magazine Nov 4, 2013 Full Review The Color Wheel (2011) 79% EDIT “The result is a thorough examination of a generation-specific collective anxiety about doing anything, and of whether it's possible (or even worthwhile) to try to redeem oneself in a world gone ornery.” – Film Comment Magazine Jun 7, 2012 Full Review
