Black Pond (2011) 100% EDIT “[Will] Sharpe's writing is full of stunning one-liners, insightful tangents and Freudian slips.” – Cinema Scope Sep 27, 2017 Full Review Sun Don't Shine (2012) 92% EDIT “In its moodiness and slow pace, it resembles Curtis Harrington's Night Tide, but it's also as funny, violent and vertiginous as George Armitage's Miami Blues.” – Cinema Scope Sep 27, 2017 Full Review Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf's (2013) 48% 1.5/5 EDIT “What's it like to try on clothes at one of the most expensive stores in the world? You won't find out in Matthew Miele's documentary.” – Austin Chronicle May 24, 2013 Full Review At Any Price (2012) 52% 1.5/5 EDIT “Though well-researched and competently acted, At Any Price doesn't risk much, having neither a thesis nor a resolution. Like an awkward hug between estranged relations, there's a lack of confidence in the execution.” – Austin Chronicle May 17, 2013 Full Review No Place on Earth (2012) 79% 2.5/5 EDIT “None of my formal quibbles is meant to make light of this heroic story. Indeed, some chronicle is better than no chronicle, but the past exists only in the retelling; how history is written is as important as the story itself.” – Austin Chronicle May 3, 2013 Full Review The Angels' Share (2012) 88% 2/5 EDIT “The title, by the way, refers to the distillation process: the 2% of whisky that evaporates in the barrel is known as "the angel's share." I'm afraid there's more than 2% evaporation going on in Loach's latest.” – Austin Chronicle May 3, 2013 Full Review Disconnect (2012) 70% 1.5/5 EDIT “Come on, guys: There's nothing cinematic about Googling.” – Austin Chronicle Apr 26, 2013 Full Review Graceland (2012) 85% 2.5/5 EDIT “This is not a movie to see on a first date or with your family, but please do go see it, because Morales has pulled off something remarkable -- a fast-paced, tough, and twisty film that confronts real social problems.” – Austin Chronicle Apr 26, 2013 Full Review The Place Beyond the Pines (2012) 79% 4/5 EDIT “The film is so velvety textured and dreamy, I would've stuck around for more. That is Cianfrance's special talent.” – Austin Chronicle Apr 12, 2013 Full Review Somebody Up There Likes Me (2012) 68% 4/5 EDIT “Somebody is nihilistic, misanthropic, and weirdly relaxing. I've never seen anything like it.” – Austin Chronicle Apr 5, 2013 Full Review Wrong (2012) 64% 2.5/5 EDIT “Have you ever been stuck at a party talking to a guy who thinks he's a comic genius?” – Austin Chronicle Mar 29, 2013 Full Review The Call (2013) 44% 3/5 EDIT “Claustrophobes beware of The Call, Brad Anderson's emotionally rending thriller that transpires almost entirely on the telephone.” – Austin Chronicle Mar 22, 2013 Full Review West of Memphis (2012) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Moving and gruesome, West of Memphis is an eloquent disquisition on the banality of evil.” – Austin Chronicle Mar 15, 2013 Full Review Like Someone in Love (2012) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Like Someone in Love won't break your heart while you're watching it. That will happen two or three days later, while you're sitting at a stoplight or in the checkout line at the grocery store.” – Austin Chronicle Mar 15, 2013 Full Review Greedy Lying Bastards (2012) 67% 2/5 EDIT “Rosebraugh's arguments are sound and his heart is in the right place, but his execution is self-defeating.” – Austin Chronicle Mar 8, 2013 Full Review John Dies at the End (2012) 59% 1.5/5 EDIT “A confusing plot to begin with, the adaptation of the novel is a certified mess, attempting to provide blow-by-blow illustrations of scenes from the source book, and lifting most of the narration and dialogue verbatim.” – Austin Chronicle Feb 22, 2013 Full Review Oscar Nominated Live Action Short Films 2013 (2013) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “This year's Live Action lineup honors a group of directors who've had successful careers in advertising, acting, recording, and arts activism.” – Austin Chronicle Feb 7, 2013 Full Review Stand Up Guys (2012) 37% 1/5 EDIT “Guys has the lax, sleep-deprived vibe of one of those end-of-the-show "experimental" sketches on Saturday Night Live.” – Austin Chronicle Jan 31, 2013 Full Review Broken City (2013) 26% 3/5 EDIT “Hughes manages to accomplish a feat I would have never thought cinematically possible: He creates a white-knuckle scene from a mayoral debate about zoning policy.” – Austin Chronicle Jan 17, 2013 Full Review Parental Guidance (2012) 18% 2/5 EDIT “Poor Crystal. There remains a scintilla of dignity in his sad clown. He may beatbox while wearing wraparound sunglasses, but, thankfully for you and yours, he does not dance the robot.” – Austin Chronicle Jan 4, 2013 Full Review In Our Nature (2012) 47% 3/5 EDIT “It's like an average weekend: nice enough, but tepid.” – Austin Chronicle Dec 14, 2012 Full Review Bad Kids Go to Hell (2012) 44% 1/5 EDIT “The real mystery of BKGTH isn't who's doing the killing, but where the passion went in this independently produced screenplay-turned-comic-book-turned-movie.” – Austin Chronicle Dec 7, 2012 Full Review The Comedy (2012) 50% 2/5 EDIT “All this is credible enough until Swanson exits the airtight bubble of his peers to bully New York City at large.” – Austin Chronicle Nov 30, 2012 Full Review
