The Missing Picture (2013) 99% EDIT “However ambivalently the film treats the Khmer Rouge footage, it prompts Panh's memories, and allows his clay figures to come to a kind of solemn, unmoving life.” – The Brooklyn Rail Sep 26, 2017 Full Review Paraguay Remembered (2015) EDIT “Dubosc's voice-over ruminations recall the great filmic essays of Chris Marker as they unspool an interwoven personal and political history.” – Film Comment Magazine Mar 7, 2017 Full Review Elle (2016) 91% EDIT “How do we reconcile the two vastly different films that make up Elle?” – Reverse Shot Oct 14, 2016 Full Review Yourself and Yours (2016) 94% EDIT “It is possible to see the entirety of Hong's films as variations on a theme, with a limited ensemble of actors working through a set of recurring scenarios, often within the same film. In this way, Hong Sang-soo is similar to Ozu.” – Reverse Shot Oct 11, 2016 Full Review My Week With Marilyn (2011) 82% EDIT “Outside of Williams, the rest of the venerable cast is squandered, effectively reduced to expensive, one-dimensional set pieces.” – Reverse Shot Jun 13, 2016 Full Review A Dangerous Method (2011) 78% EDIT “This, indeed, is the crux of the film: the gulf between the unutterable impulses of the body and the words we invent, if not to tame them, then to better know their secrets.” – Reverse Shot Jun 13, 2016 Full Review Timbuktu (2014) 98% EDIT “The film's inherent drama could easily be heightened with manufactured dread and suspense, but Sissako relaxes the pace to gain a broader view. Instead of accentuating conflict, he details smaller moments of change.” – Reverse Shot Jun 10, 2016 Full Review Let the Right One In (2008) 98% EDIT “In Sweden as elsewhere, real horrors -- bullies, child neglect, senseless violence -- happen all the time, but too often we don't stop to take notice. Not looking, Alfredson seems to argue, is in some ways the more serious offense.” – Reverse Shot Jun 10, 2016 Full Review The Baader Meinhof Complex (2008) 85% EDIT “Granted, the RAF leaders were attractive and charismatic, but the film, like its Shepard Fairey-designed poster, doesn't dig terribly deep beyond the surface of revolutionary chic.” – Reverse Shot Jun 10, 2016 Full Review The Last Buffalo Hunt (2011) EDIT “The Last Buffalo Hunt parses the remains of Western conquest, the boom of expansion contracted into a desiccated, ghostly history. All that's left, the film proposes, are the people themselves.” – L.A. Weekly Jun 10, 2016 Full Review Misunderstood (2014) 81% EDIT “As a director, Asia Argento has yet to advance beyond a notion of "promise." And judging by her third feature, Misunderstood, it's starting to look like she never will.” – Reverse Shot Jun 10, 2016 Full Review Tokyo Sonata (2008) 94% EDIT “[H]ere, perhaps more urgently than ever before, it's about what happens when people confront the world outside, and what new, fragile connections they might begin to forge.” – Film Comment Magazine Oct 20, 2014 Full Review I Killed My Mother (2009) 87% EDIT “Dolan's vision, however distracted, remains strong ( ... ) As a writer, director, producer, and actor, he throws himself into the film's disjointed spaces, highlighting the ways in which multiple and contradictory states can be inhabited simultaneously” – Film Comment Magazine Nov 13, 2013 Full Review
