Jane Austen Wrecked My Life (2024) 82% 3/4 EDIT “The result, with Agathe neither towering wit nor dumpster fire nor book snob, is a refreshingly light touch and a heroine unexaggerated by what Hollywood always thinks we want. ” – San Francisco Chronicle May 20, 2025 Full Review Tick, Tick... Boom! (2021) 88% 3/4 EDIT “Perhaps the greatest gift of "Tick, Tick... Boom!" is that it rejects the false narrative of the artist's one big shot, the make-it-or-break-it moment.” – San Francisco Chronicle Nov 12, 2021 Full Review Cinderella (2021) 41% 1/4 EDIT “In trying to be safe and copacetic with modern sensibilities, this "Cinderella" neuters itself.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 1, 2021 Full Review He's All That (2021) 29% 2/4 EDIT “Cast members seem to operate on the belief that they can best deal with the plot's improbabilities by grimacing their way through and not giving anyone time to react to them.” – San Francisco Chronicle Aug 27, 2021 Full Review Hamilton (2020) 98% 4/4 EDIT “Of all the new gems the film version unearths in the text, the richest might be those that transcend current events, those that help color vibrantly envisioned human relationships.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jul 1, 2020 Full Review We Are Freestyle Love Supreme (2020) 90% 3/4 EDIT “Will hold "Hamilton" fans or anyone fascinated by the origin stories of artistic genius.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 2, 2020 Full Review House in the Alley (2012) 25% EDIT “Shoddily plotted ...” – Village Voice Oct 22, 2013 Full Review Shepard and Dark (2012) 86% EDIT “Despite its unusual beginnings, the friendship doesn't offer much narrative juice.” – Village Voice Sep 24, 2013 Full Review 36 Saints (2013) EDIT “The real problem with this film is that its voiceover at the beginning is its only real attempt at storytelling; there is no central character or quest to latch onto.” – Village Voice Sep 3, 2013 Full Review No Place on Earth (2012) 79% EDIT “Unfortunately, the telling, by director Janet Tobias, is no match for the story.” – Village Voice Apr 3, 2013 Full Review 108 (2010) 100% EDIT “Costa's grainy footage looks amateurish at times-at one point, she runs out of battery and the screen goes dark-but her rule-breaking is bold.” – Village Voice Mar 12, 2013 Full Review Mariachi gringo (2012) 43% EDIT “Amid this malarkey Gustafson is smart enough to let the camera linger on musical performances that reveal mariachi to be dynamic and complex as opera.” – Village Voice Mar 12, 2013 Full Review
