It (2017) 85% Recommended EDIT “As a well-crafted scarefest, It is satisfying and exhausting in equal measure.” – 4:3 Sep 6, 2017 Full Review Liberation Day (2016) 67% Recommended EDIT “Whatever labyrinthine justifications stand behind it, Liberation Day is the kind of film that might never be made again, so I can safely say that you'll never see anything quite like it.” – 4:3 Jul 24, 2017 Full Review PACmen (2017) 64% Not Recommended EDIT “...the grand potential of the film is somewhat squandered by its glacial pace, muddled narrative, and generally confused understanding as to what exactly about Carson and his campaign was so interesting.” – 4:3 Jul 24, 2017 Full Review Shadow World (2016) Recommended EDIT “... a broad, angry condemnation of the neoliberal consensus which elbowed its way through violence and crafty politics into ideological prominence in the 1980s.” – 4:3 Mar 27, 2017 Full Review Going Clear: Scientology & the Prison of Belief (2015) 95% Recommended EDIT “Amongst a field of analysis which examines Scientology as a cabal of rich wackos gone wild on the taxpayer's dime, Going Clear thrives.” – 4:3 Mar 27, 2017 Full Review Adam Curtis: Bitter Lake (2015) Recommended EDIT “Bitter Lake documents the modern history of Afghanistan as a graveyard for political discourse: where concise slogans and chest-thumping war mantras go to die.” – 4:3 Mar 27, 2017 Full Review Frank Miller's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014) 42% Not Recommended EDIT “The film attempts to emulate the languid pace of classic noir, but lacks the narrative complexity or compelling dialogue of its forebears.” – 4:3 Mar 27, 2017 Full Review Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) 18% Not Recommended EDIT “A lumbering film of grotesque size in which nothing of major interest happens.” – 4:3 Mar 27, 2017 Full Review Concerning Violence (2014) 90% Recommended EDIT “An incisive piece of philosophy which inspires rage through its measured presentation.” – 4:3 Mar 27, 2017 Full Review Finding Fela (2014) 60% Recommended EDIT “[Gibney] raises a pertinent question: is it contradictory to beatify an avowed anti-capitalist revolutionary with an elaborately produced show?” – 4:3 Mar 27, 2017 Full Review Utopia (2013) 100% Recommended EDIT “Utopia is a defining anti-colonial film which condemns Australians with as much fury as it does the endless system of bureaucracy which enables them.” – 4:3 Mar 27, 2017 Full Review
