Infinite Football (2018) 96% EDIT “Loquacious Ginghină is the perfect star for a filmmaker who, so often throughout his career, has spun so much from so little. Infinite Football seems to suggest that, to stay sane, we might all try and do the same.” – Reverse Shot Nov 9, 2018 Full Review In the Last Days of the City (2016) 80% EDIT “There's a pleasing formal confusion that enlivens In the Last Days of the City, the years-in-the-works directorial debut feature of Egyptian filmmaker Tamer El Said.” – Film Comment Magazine May 3, 2018 Full Review The Post (2017) 88% EDIT “In its ultimate love for newspapers, The Post is almost cornpone, but should we expect any less from Spielberg?” – Reverse Shot Jan 4, 2018 Full Review BPM (Beats Per Minute) (2017) 99% EDIT “In Campillo we have a filmmaker easily able to bend narrative to his will, to make the act of telling stories with moving pictures fresh again, and who is also fascinated with the physical properties of his medium. It's a potent mix.” – Reverse Shot Oct 12, 2017 Full Review Nocturama (2016) 82% EDIT “Nocturama is a lively, fickle film. It shakes off the cohering impulse of narrative in favor of the sensual appeal of a dreamscape. That's a more intriguing, productive result than leaving a theater feeling like you've gotten it all.” – Reverse Shot Aug 24, 2017 Full Review Kékszakállú (2016) 93% EDIT “Solnicki and his actresses likely know their characters and stories inside and out, but Kkszakll ends up a richer portrait for only offering us shards and glimpses of these seven lives.” – Reverse Shot Aug 9, 2017 Full Review In Transit (2015) 100% EDIT “It's a simple, kind, skillfully made film that doesn't mean to jerk tears from the viewer on any obvious level, but arriving as it does in the first half of 2017, it's a hopeful dispatch, arriving like a gift from the front lines where lives are lived.” – Reverse Shot Jun 30, 2017 Full Review The Woman Who Left (2016) 80% EDIT “For a filmmaker who has obsessively documented all the gradations of national suffering, most often in grainy black-and-white, Diaz's films are often laced with pockets of warmth.” – Reverse Shot May 26, 2017 Full Review Abacus: Small Enough to Jail (2016) 93% EDIT “James is a filmmaker who seemingly never loses sight of where he is, and what's important to film. Whether it's Chicago, Hampton, Huntsville, Pomona, or, now, Chinatown, he's firmly in place. While watching his films, we are too.” – Reverse Shot May 18, 2017 Full Review Song to Song (2017) 43% EDIT “Yet, even as his free associative play with imagery has grown more radical and less connected to linear storytelling, Malick is still creating works that transmit astonishing amounts of narrative information.” – Reverse Shot Mar 31, 2017 Full Review The Illinois Parables (2016) 100% EDIT “A film like The Illinois Parables, whose only agenda is inquiry and discovery, feels necessary right now.” – Reverse Shot Nov 23, 2016 Full Review Ne me quitte pas (2013) EDIT “Ne me quitte pas might well be the comedy of the year: a nonfiction (semi-real?) counterpoint American bro comedy -- Grumpy Aging Belgians.” – Reverse Shot Nov 18, 2016 Full Review Graduation (2016) 94% EDIT “In Eliza's ultimate decision to control her own destiny Mungiu finds the cautious hints of optimism for this girl, and, by extension, Romania.” – Reverse Shot Oct 12, 2016 Full Review Fire at Sea (2016) 95% EDIT “[Rosi] concludes with a truly gut-twisting set of images taken in the bowels of a small ship attempting to transport for far too many passengers.” – Reverse Shot Oct 11, 2016 Full Review Aquarius (2016) 97% EDIT “Even though Aquarius is largely driven by Braga's performance, it still offers many of the tics singular to Mendona Filho's art.” – Reverse Shot Oct 11, 2016 Full Review Neither Heaven Nor Earth (2015) 92% EDIT “Cogitore's built this kind of unknowable force into the very fabric of Neither Heaven Nor Earth, and has given us a supernatural war film that's unexpectedly true to life.” – Reverse Shot Aug 5, 2016 Full Review Louisiana: The Other Side (2015) 83% EDIT “What of all this is real? Some of the first half? All of the second half? Perhaps the whole thing. Perhaps none of it. Does this question even matter in the wake of a film that's shown so much so well?” – Reverse Shot May 25, 2016 Full Review Afternoon (2015) 88% EDIT “Is Afternoon ultimately a just-for-the-fans document? It could be ungenerously viewed as such... [but] even within this limited scenario, Tsai can't help but deliver something more.” – Reverse Shot Apr 8, 2016 Full Review
