Give Me Liberty (2019) 89% A- EDIT “While the story of Give Me Liberty unpacks like a kinetic sphere of energy through a snowballing procession of charismatically comical events, none of this is possible without the convincing cast Mikhanovsky constructs.” – The Playlist Mar 5, 2019 Full Review Relaxer (2018) 68% A- EDIT “With Relaxer shifting from comedic survival story to absurdist horror in its third act, it's at this point in the story where Potrykus has sold his film to the audience. Relaxer prevails as an unbearable survival story.” – The Playlist Oct 23, 2018 Full Review A Bluebird in My Heart (2018) 86% C+ EDIT “Even in its closing moments, Bluebird deceives its viewers. Just as the audience is about to give the film some credit for its performances and other worthwhile elements, Guez undermines it...” – The Playlist Oct 23, 2018 Full Review Until the Birds Return (2017) 75% D+ EDIT “Missing the crucial connective chord that ties it all together, the filmmaker inadvertently does a huge disservice to the culture he clearly holds so dearly.” – The Playlist Oct 23, 2018 Full Review Beirut (2018) 81% D+ EDIT “Beirut is a disappointing display of what filmmaking can accomplish in terms of offering artistic reflection into the world's affairs.” – The Playlist Oct 23, 2018 Full Review Nervous Translation (2017) 100% B- EDIT “Though not a perfect film by any means, Seno's effort is an astounding improvement upon her debut Big Boy.” – The Playlist Oct 23, 2018 Full Review Upgrade (2018) 88% B+ EDIT “Upgrade eschews highfalutin scientific theory and instead resorts to sound sci-fi concepts, captivating cinematography, and high octane action in order to deliver one of this year's best summer surprises.” – The Playlist Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Far From the Tree (2017) 90% C+ EDIT “I was easily moved by the individuals at hand, but one could only wish the cursory mini-documentations were stretched out and allowed to breathe and speak on their own terms.” – The Playlist Oct 17, 2018 Full Review Recovery Boys (2018) 100% A- EDIT “Nonetheless, the humanitarian eye of Sheldon, alongside Jacob's Ladder, implores audiences to adopt a posture of compassion and understanding, because the struggle an addict faces is a deepening one.” – The Playlist Oct 17, 2018 Full Review The Clovehitch Killer (2018) 79% B EDIT “It's not only a realistic portrait of a conservative Middle America but a devastating portrayal of what happens when a family goes murderously awry.” – The Playlist Oct 17, 2018 Full Review We Have Always Lived in the Castle (2018) 84% B- EDIT “While the overwrought dialogue does test attention spans, its prevailing message - humanity is malignant and inherently wicked- and the hint of something more cryptic makes Passon's film beautifully disturbing.” – The Playlist Oct 17, 2018 Full Review Behind the Curve (2018) 91% EDIT “Hilarious, informative but pressing. Clark's documentary is on one level, a deep nosedive into the carelessness of humanity and how gullible and misinformed they are, and a sophisticated profile on a few of the theory's key figures on another.” – The Playlist Oct 13, 2018 Full Review The Oath (2018) 63% A- EDIT “Though it is easy to single out each portrayal, it is the genuine dynamic between the entire cast that lends to the film's core-the importance of family in the face of disagreement and discord.” – The Playlist Oct 4, 2018 Full Review Night Comes On (2018) 98% EDIT “Even though the voices depicted remain largely hushed, Spiro's project signifies hope even when the reality of life as a minority in America remains bleak.” – The Playlist Aug 6, 2018 Full Review Hot Summer Nights (2017) 46% C+ EDIT “Hot Summer Nights is unconventionally amusing, spits in the face of its own flaws, and yet, still somehow manages to impress.” – The Playlist Jul 26, 2018 Full Review Under the Tree (2017) 84% B+ EDIT “With trivial apprehension uprooting suburban comfort, Sigurðsson's latest proves that regardless of our individual aches and pains, grief-stricken irrationality poses tremendous and even horrifying consequences.” – The Playlist Jul 11, 2018 Full Review On the Seventh Day (2017) 100% A- EDIT “McKay's latest work of art is an ode to those who fight for that glimmer of hope this country claims.” – The Playlist Jun 25, 2018 Full Review The House of Tomorrow (2017) 75% B+ EDIT “All things considered, The House of Tomorrow is a charmer that will incite a smile from ear-to-ear with each and every scene brimming with hope in the face of downtrodden situations and a world that tells you no.” – The Playlist May 10, 2018 Full Review All These Small Moments (2018) 88% B EDIT “Despite being overly tidy and commonplace in its plot, [director Melissa B.] Miller-Costanzo succeeds in deliberately avoiding resolution, and while that's bound to frustrate people, it's key to the movie's payoff.” – The Playlist May 9, 2018 Full Review The Devil and Father Amorth (2017) 45% C EDIT “It will polarize audiences, but keep viewers hooked to its sales pitch-the exorcism itself.” – The Playlist Apr 22, 2018 Full Review The Ritual (2017) 74% C- EDIT “David Bruckner had all the ingredients for a horror masterpiece - deceptively scenic wilderness shots, great character camaraderie, dreadful atmosphere/setting- but "The Ritual" winds up a missed opportunity.” – The Playlist Feb 14, 2018 Full Review Time Share (2018) 83% B EDIT “Despite how overwhelmingly disconcerting the film feels at times (jarring cuts, Jonestown-esque work environment, eerie music and surreal hallucinations), this film is beautifully subtle even with all of its underlying complexities.” – The Playlist Jan 22, 2018 Full Review Rust (2018) 80% D+ EDIT “"Rust" is an extremely frustrating fusion (if you want to call it that) of family strife, unnecessary teenage drama and a tale of morality that can't drive its message home.” – The Playlist Jan 22, 2018 Full Review My Friend Dahmer (2017) 85% B EDIT “Meyers' drama is paradoxically humane and affecting - a direction few thought was possible when deliberating the essence of a real-life monster.” – The Playlist Oct 30, 2017 Full Review Gutland (2017) 82% B EDIT “Govinda Van Maele's full-length feature "Gutland" is a striking debut, one that slowly burns through the magnificent landscapes of rural Luxembourg with flourishes of neorealism.” – The Playlist Sep 14, 2017 Full Review
