Soft & Quiet (2022) 84% EDIT “Once Soft & Quiet leads the audience past the point of no return during a tour de force sequence set at an otherwise peaceful lake cabin, de Araújo enters the dark and suffocating territory...” – Vague Visages Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Kim's Video (2023) 71% EDIT “Kim's Video reminds viewers that there was something very special about browsing the shelves of shops both large and small.” – Vague Visages Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Shiva Baby (2020) 96% EDIT “Shiva Baby is most certainly not a movie for those who get clammy and start to sweat at secondhand embarrassment.” – Vague Visages Mar 26, 2024 Full Review No Straight Lines: The Rise of Queer Comics (2021) 100% EDIT “The element of game recognizing game in the broadest sense, the mutual admiration of top-flight talent and expressions of love fill in the spaces between looks at specific titles and publishing milestones.” – Vague Visages Mar 25, 2024 Full Review Shirley (2020) 88% EDIT “A vivid reminder of an unrealized future...” – Vague Visages Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind (2020) 74% EDIT “Trying to free Wood from the enormous shadow cast by her death is no small feat. Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind doesn't quite manage the task…” – Vague Visages Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Da 5 Bloods (2020) 92% EDIT “One of the most effective storytelling strategies in Spike Lee's Da 5 Bloods is the application of the simple and elegant dichotomy.” – Vague Visages Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Babyteeth (2019) 94% EDIT “Much of Babyteeth's vitality can be located in the way each of the central characters is so fully realized.” – Vague Visages Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Beastie Boys Story (2020) 95% EDIT “If you listen to Beastie Boys, Jonze’s technique — a familiar blend of rough and smooth, high tech and low tech — comes correct. If you don’t listen to Beastie Boys, the movie serves as a biographical and musical introduction.” – Vague Visages Feb 7, 2024 Full Review First Cow (2019) 96% EDIT “Behold the elegance and oft-cited aesthetic minimalism with which Reichardt unfolds so many thoughts and ideas about race, representation and gender.” – Vague Visages Feb 7, 2024 Full Review You Don't Nomi (2019) 89% EDIT “I was taken with You Don’t Nomi’s comfortable attitude toward the complexity and ambiguity of a text that can support and sustain such wildly opposite readings.” – Vague Visages Feb 7, 2024 Full Review The Go-Go's (2020) 98% EDIT “The Go-Go’s boasts a treasure chest full of archival content in all shapes and sizes, and the imagery almost always complements the anecdotes told by the subjects with delightful detail.” – Vague Visages Feb 7, 2024 Full Review The Ghost of Peter Sellers (2018) 96% EDIT “If failure is the greatest teacher, then Peter Medak has earned his doctorate with The Ghost of Peter Sellers.” – Vague Visages Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Feels Good Man (2020) 95% EDIT “The manipulation of popular characters outside the control of original creators has existed for hundreds of years, but what makes Feels Good Man especially significant is the entanglement with "fake news..."” – Vague Visages Feb 7, 2024 Full Review She Dies Tomorrow (2020) 84% EDIT “Even though Seimetz’s ‘ideological contagion’ might have its roots in coping strategies for depression and a range of mental health issues, the director works wonders by imagining how one might react upon learning about their imminent death.” – Vague Visages Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Kajillionaire (2020) 90% EDIT “Wood somehow manipulates potential caricature into something fully alive.” – Vague Visages Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Dick Johnson Is Dead (2020) 99% EDIT “Johnson brilliantly arranges and organizes the vignettes that account for her unique 'living obituary.'” – Vague Visages Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (2020) 85% EDIT “A finely calibrated blend of lowbrow vulgarity and sharp social satire, 'Borat Subsequent Moviefilm' is a document — or mockument — of and for the moment.” – Vague Visages Feb 7, 2024 Full Review David Byrne's American Utopia (2020) 97% EDIT “A joyous march through the audience that captures a moment in time shortly before live performance went dark and imagines the thrill of being able to do it again in the future.” – Vague Visages Feb 7, 2024 Full Review On the Rocks (2020) 87% EDIT “Coppola has always shown an affinity for mixing laughter and introspection, and On the Rocks successfully deploys the strategy.” – Vague Visages Feb 6, 2024 Full Review Miss Juneteenth (2020) 99% EDIT “One of the most rewarding dimensions of Miss Juneteenth is the insightful manner with which Peoples guides the viewer through the world of the pageant itself.” – Vague Visages Feb 6, 2024 Full Review The Meaning of Hitler (2020) 81% EDIT “In the end, The Meaning of Hitler lands somewhere between an exploration of Hitler as phenomenon and Hitler as person. Unfortunately, some of the movie's most intriguing scenes veer from their intended goal. ” – Vague Visages Feb 6, 2024 Full Review Mank (2020) 83% EDIT “Mank probably spends more time than necessary defining the protagonist's own crisis of conscience within a corrupt and decaying dream factory.” – Vague Visages Feb 6, 2024 Full Review Promising Young Woman (2020) 90% EDIT “Promising Young Woman writes a fresh new chapter in the saga on the big screen, a complex filmography made all the more challenging by the cinema’s skill at rendering lurid, action-oriented visuals.” – Vague Visages Feb 6, 2024 Full Review Petite Maman (2021) 97% EDIT “Sciamma’s handling of the interactions between the kids is as confident and as beautifully realized as the depiction of relationships in Water Lilies, Tomboy and Girlhood.” – Vague Visages Nov 8, 2023 Full Review
