Friendship (2024) 88% EDIT “Friendship may not be the mainstream comedy classic this decade lacks, but Rudd’s presence at least provides a bridge for a new generation of comedic talent to a previous era.” – In Review Online Sep 15, 2024 Full Review Nightbitch (2024) 60% EDIT “While Nightbitch doesn’t get all the details right, Heller’s approach is wonderfully unapologetic, and gives both director and star the space each needs to navigate the messy path of Mother’s ultimate return to reality.” – In Review Online Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Boomerang (2024) EDIT “It’s a moving deference to youth, as well as a compelling subversion of arthouse tropes [in which] Fotouhi boldly announces himself as a voice to watch.” – In Review Online Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Carnage for Christmas (2024) 90% EDIT “Mackay’s welcome delicacy in this regard allows the film’s point of interest, then, to become its genre, which, for better or worse (mostly the former), it largely exists within rather than subverting.” – In Review Online Jul 28, 2024 Full Review The Tuba Thieves (2023) 90% EDIT “As an encapsulation of the film, we have an accessible example of the holistic reproduction of the portrayal of sound, image, and touch.” – In Review Online Mar 13, 2024 Full Review Love and Work (2024) 100% EDIT “[This] high-concept piece of modest ambition with compelling characters and a locked-in aesthetic is quite refreshing. ” – In Review Online Jan 28, 2024 Full Review The Holdovers (2023) 97% EDIT “Despite surface impressions that range from blithely pleasant to genuinely moving or even hilarious in moments, The Holdovers never quite feels effectively or fully conceived, stuck in some nebulous territory.” – In Review Online Sep 15, 2023 Full Review Foremost By Night (2023) 100% EDIT “Foremost by Night delivers on the strength of its artists’ resumes, but also exudes the vitality of an exciting new voice.” – In Review Online Sep 7, 2023 Full Review Dreaming & Dying (2023) EDIT “That’s not to say Dreaming & Dying isn’t a compelling debut, or a compelling film in and of itself, but it’s one in which a few of the seams are a bit awkwardly sewn, threatening to come apart. ” – In Review Online Aug 16, 2023 Full Review Family Portrait (2023) 96% EDIT “Kerr is unlikely to attract anyone put off by the very idea of a Covid movie. Though familiar tropes are avoided... Family Portrait is fundamentally still a look back at a traumatic time from which our present is not yet fully removed. ” – In Review Online Aug 11, 2023 Full Review John Early: Now More Than Ever (2023) 100% EDIT “While neither the scripted bits nor the musical performances take the film beyond the form of the standup special... perhaps it’s more interesting, anyway, to make the argument that no such limitation of form need be imposed at all.” – In Review Online Jun 17, 2023 Full Review The Delinquents (2023) 86% EDIT “There are a few things holding the film together despite this heterogeneity, and though Moreno’s visual impishness can be jarring, his formal punctuations never feel out of place. ” – In Review Online Jun 5, 2023 Full Review Creatura (2023) 93% EDIT “It’s a relief, even without considering recent discourse on the necessity of sex scenes, to see a film in which sex can be uncomfortable without being violent, and that room is left for tenderness even in confusion.” – In Review Online Jun 5, 2023 Full Review Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell (2023) 94% EDIT “Long shot escapades are intelligently utilized and sufficiently exciting to sustain even Cocoon Shell’s three-hour runtime, and though the film’s narrative isn’t quite as deft, there are still pleasures to be found beyond formal invention. ” – In Review Online May 31, 2023 Full Review Orlando, My Political Biography (2023) 94% EDIT “While [Preciado's] film may not have some of the polish of a more experienced filmmaker, he is able not only to retain his voice but amplify those of his collaborators.” – In Review Online Apr 3, 2023 Full Review Fremont (2023) 98% EDIT “It’s this, the way that Jalali imbues the politics of film’s content into the essential conception and construction of the film, that makes a project that is already quite charming feel consequential, all without ever engaging in self-congratulation.” – In Review Online Mar 24, 2023 Full Review Our Body (2023) 100% EDIT “Besides functioning as an encouraging artifact for future patients... it may at least be able to serve as a more holistic model for a right relationship between doctor and patient.” – In Review Online Mar 6, 2023 Full Review Women Talking (2022) 90% EDIT “Polley has earned plenty of goodwill across her limited directorial work, and it’s nice to see her jumping back in with material as challenging and thorny as this, Women Talking never quite makes a strong argument for its translation to the film medium.” – In Review Online Sep 21, 2022 Full Review Sanctuary (2022) 88% EDIT “If Sanctuary feels like an exercise at times, it’s one that remains consistently compelling and ultimately moving throughout its machinations.” – In Review Online Sep 17, 2022 Full Review
