Closeness (2017)

9/10
EDIT
“Tesnota does not offer explicit moral lessons, but its matter-of-fact narrative still conveys a sense of claustrophobia and dread in a racially divided city.” –

A Man of Integrity (2017)

9/10
EDIT
“Rasoulof keeps the action apace, but his characters never explain or narrate. A Western viewer must piece together town relationships as a puzzle.” –

8/10
EDIT
“Tilda Swinton is doubly funny as twin corporate CEOs: the batty one in pink who places the piglets, and the fiendish one with a bad haircut who later sends the grown superpigs to the slaughter.” –

I, Daniel Blake (2016)
92%
8/10
EDIT
“Loach's downtrodden heroes usually find some way to sustain hope, in family or in humor, in individual ingenuity or collective kindness. But this time, the filmmaker's own anger at systemic, interminable inequities threatens to overcome his optimism.” –

Whose Streets? (2017)
98%
EDIT
“Like earlier documentaries about police violence, The Murder of Fred Hampton (1971) and Attica (1974), Whose Streets? serves both as an archival record and a tool to be used in an ongoing struggle.” –

Roxanne Roxanne (2017)
68%
6/10
EDIT
“As a delightful rap tribute to Shant by young NAS at the end of the film suggests, the beat of Shant's spoken performances are key to conquering the tribulations of her personal life.” –

8/10
EDIT
“As Emily, Kazan is fantastic, unselfconscious and deadpan, a welcome respite from typical romcom leads so often preoccupied with sorting out the rules of dating.” –

Super Troopers (2001)

EDIT
“While it does not pretend to be anything more than a largely plotless, gross-out comedy, it nevertheless has some appeal, as an indie tribute to American popular culture of the 1970s.” –

3 Strikes (2000)

EDIT
“3 Strikes is unlikely to break new ground as yet another attempt by rap musicians and producers to reach white Multiplex audiences with a low-budget comedy.” –

Kikujiro (1999)
61%
EDIT
“Instead of trying to repeat the critical success of Central Station and similar poignant but predictable films, Kitano uses the child's point of view to refract his own sense of color, action, and humor.” –
