The Human Surge (2016) 58% EDIT “Surreal and wordlessly unsettling, Eduardo Williams' globe-crossing feature The Human Surge is intimate and pleasurably inscrutable.” – Village Voice Feb 28, 2017 Full Review The Settlers (2016) 95% EDIT “Of course the film plods; this story is exhausting, drawn-out, decades of fear and violence so familiar that they hardly even shock.” – Village Voice Feb 28, 2017 Full Review Speed Sisters (2015) 92% EDIT “Although Speed Sisters is not comprehensive, it's vital.” – Village Voice Feb 7, 2017 Full Review Harry Benson: Shoot First (2016) 85% EDIT “The images are augmented by commentary from Benson, his subjects, and his critics, who include his own family.” – Village Voice Dec 7, 2016 Full Review Disturbing the Peace (2016) 100% EDIT “The film is a space for listening, for trying to understand.” – Village Voice Nov 11, 2016 Full Review Do Not Resist (2016) 91% EDIT “In this new and vital documentary, Craig Atkinson interrogates what is happening in American police departments and why cops' presence on the streets looks more and more like war.” – Village Voice Oct 4, 2016 Full Review Among the Believers (2015) 95% EDIT “It insists on seeing its subjects' humanity - something rare in the Western press, particularly when reporting on Islam, and especially fundamentalism.” – Village Voice Sep 29, 2016 Full Review The Ruins of Lifta (2016) 100% EDIT “Vital, complicated and flawed ... necessary viewing.” – Village Voice Sep 22, 2016 Full Review Dying to Know: Ram Dass & Timothy Leary (2014) 78% EDIT “Though sometimes clumsy or nostalgic, the film is an engaging oral history of Leary and Dass's friendship.” – Village Voice Aug 10, 2016 Full Review Hieronymus Bosch: Touched by the Devil (2016) 62% EDIT “The high-resolution images of Bosch's twisted work are gorgeous, but it's hard not to feel like the doc is a poor substitute for seeing the art in person.” – Village Voice Jul 28, 2016 Full Review Ants on a Shrimp (2016) 78% EDIT “Like a well-executed fine-dining experience, this sleek documentary entertains, delights, and makes viewers comfortable without evident sweat.” – Village Voice Jul 27, 2016 Full Review Hooligan Sparrow (2016) 97% EDIT “[A] tremendous documentary ...” – Village Voice Jul 20, 2016 Full Review Indian Point (2015) 88% EDIT “Someone needs to ask questions; here they are.” – Village Voice Jul 6, 2016 Full Review The Kind Words (2015) 78% EDIT “Zissman-Cohen's subtle features and the way they flood with repressed feeling make each moment a separate, fully formed shard in a disjointed mosaic of emotional truth.” – Village Voice Jun 23, 2016 Full Review From This Day Forward (2015) 100% EDIT “The complex family dynamics are fascinating, and they make for an engaging (if sometimes troubling) film.” – Village Voice Jun 23, 2016 Full Review Germans & Jews (2016) 100% EDIT “For a film encompassing generations of fraught history, Germans & Jews is awfully short, but hardly superficial.” – Village Voice Jun 8, 2016 Full Review Tikkun (2015) 95% EDIT “Shot like a photo album, gorgeous frame after gorgeous frame, it continually suggests that crisis and struggle can be beautiful when viewed from the right angle.” – Village Voice Jun 7, 2016 Full Review Princess (2014) 83% EDIT “It's hard to keep watching. Don't stop.” – Village Voice May 25, 2016 Full Review Pervert Park (2014) 95% EDIT “The film is a softly gleaming counternarrative to the conventional news cycle of panic and fear.” – Village Voice May 18, 2016 Full Review Rabin in His Own Words (2015) 100% EDIT “Rabin's consistent, thoughtful self-criticism and colorful storytelling animate what might otherwise be a pat, or at least familiar, history of Israel in the 20th century. By making it specific, Laufer makes it new.” – Village Voice May 6, 2016 Full Review Sworn Virgin (2015) 71% EDIT “Cutting between present, childhood, and recent past, Bispuri constructs a subtle, richly emotional collage.” – Village Voice Apr 20, 2016 Full Review Streit's: Matzo and the American Dream (2015) 57% EDIT “This gripping documentary about unleavened bread and the people who need it asks us to consider what we in the world owe one another - and demands that we do better.” – Village Voice Apr 20, 2016 Full Review Colliding Dreams (2015) 94% EDIT “How can everyone go home? It's an impossible question, but a vital one. By listening deeply, Dorman and Rudavsky suggest that, even if there might not be an answer, we can always change the story; see how it already has changed, so many times?” – Village Voice Mar 1, 2016 Full Review Rabin, the Last Day (2015) 68% EDIT “By glamorizing struggle and ideology across the Israeli-Jewish political spectrum, it once more invites identification with only half of those locked in the conflict Rabin was trying to solve.” – Village Voice Jan 26, 2016 Full Review The Tainted Veil (2015) 89% EDIT “Some of what the interviewees say will be offensive, no matter your point of view. Go and listen. Bring a friend so you can keep the discussion going after the credits roll.” – Village Voice Dec 8, 2015 Full Review
