EDIT “It's a hybrid of Kroll doing stand-up and sketches, nicely mixing new material with characters he's developed over the years.” – AV Club Aug 1, 2019 Full Review I Am Chris Farley (2015) 71% B EDIT “I Am Chris Farley has its moments, but it plays more like a loving tribute than documentary, as if a bunch of his friends got together to tell stories. In that way, it succeeds, but it's hard to shake the feeling that the picture isn't complete.” – AV Club Jul 30, 2015 Full Review Amy (2015) 96% B+ EDIT “Winehouse was a complicated artist who deserved a nuanced, honest look at her life. In lesser hands, Amy could be a feature-length E! True Hollywood Story, but Kapadia treats his subject with respect and heart.” – AV Club Jul 2, 2015 Full Review Our Man in Tehran (2013) 83% B EDIT “For people with a limited understanding of the Iranian Revolution, Our Man In Tehran offers an easily digestible history lesson.” – AV Club May 14, 2015 Full Review Run & Jump (2013) 89% B EDIT “Forte's strength in playing awkward characters works to his advantage.” – AV Club Jan 23, 2014 Full Review The Punk Singer (2013) 91% B EDIT “A little more distance could have been beneficial, but The Punk Singer is enlightening regardless.” – AV Club Nov 28, 2013 Full Review Ass Backwards (2013) 27% B EDIT “Ass Backwards overcomes the obvious beats with clever, occasionally dark jokes that reveal the sharpness of its stars' writing.” – AV Club Nov 7, 2013 Full Review The Broken Circle Breakdown (2012) 83% B+ EDIT “Once viewers adjust to the cognitive dissonance between intense Flemish dialogue and English performances of country and bluegrass songs,The Broken Circle Breakdown is a film that will likely stick with them long after the credits roll.” – AV Club Oct 31, 2013 Full Review Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa (2013) 61% B- EDIT “Bad Grandpa mostly succeeds in its very modest goal. It's Borat without the satirical edge, with Knoxville and longtime Jackass director Jeff Tremaine taking the most outrageous parts of that film and escalating them dramatically.” – AV Club Oct 24, 2013 Full Review Broadway Idiot (2013) 62% D EDIT “This documentary by rookie director Doug Hamilton plays more like a featurette on an American Idiot DVD than a stand-alone film.” – AV Club Oct 10, 2013 Full Review Salinger (2013) 39% C- EDIT “The stories are pretty fascinating, but like all documentarians, Salerno faces the problem of what to put onscreen.” – AV Club Sep 5, 2013 Full Review Jobs (2013) 27% C EDIT “Gets points for ambition, but ultimately feels like a made-for-TV movie mistakenly playing at the multiplex.” – AV Club Aug 15, 2013 Full Review Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain (2013) 63% B EDIT “Let Me Explain finds Hart at the peak of his powers, so the film's long coronation feels justified, if gaudy. Strip away the preamble and just give him a mic, and he'd earn it all the same.” – AV Club Jul 3, 2013 Full Review
