Le choc du futur (2019) 80% EDIT “The title itself translates to "The Shock of the Future" in English, and this is a breezy and enjoyable film for music nerds and gearheads.” – Austin American-Statesman May 12, 2020 Full Review My Darling Vivian (2020) 95% EDIT “"Walk The Line" may have had you believe she was just a footnote in his life, but this new documentary by Matt Riddlehoover gives Vivian a platform from which to tell her side of the story.” – Austin American-Statesman May 12, 2020 Full Review Amazing Grace (2018) 99% A EDIT “This is a portrait of an artist at her peak and her most vulnerable, singing praise to the heavens.” – Austin American-Statesman Dec 16, 2019 Full Review Happy Face (2018) 100% EDIT “The humanity and raw power from the therapeutic dialogue in some of their scenes was unexpected for Fantastic Fest, an event not exactly known for booking emotionally resonant dramas.” – Austin American-Statesman Sep 26, 2019 Full Review The Death of Dick Long (2019) 75% A- EDIT “"The Death Of Dick Long" is laugh-out-loud funny and, at times, jaw-droppingly offensive. Simply put, it's a guaranteed future cult classic.” – Austin American-Statesman Sep 26, 2019 Full Review The Lighthouse (2019) 90% A- EDIT “"The Lighthouse" is not easy viewing in any capacity, but it is one of the most wild, distinctive movie-going experiences I've had all year.” – Austin American-Statesman Sep 26, 2019 Full Review The Lodge (2019) 75% B EDIT “Overall, this is probably too slow and slightly overlong to really connect with general audiences, but fans of recent genre hits like "The Witch" and "Hereditary" should feel right at home in the cold and quiet.” – Austin American-Statesman Sep 24, 2019 Full Review The Vast of Night (2019) 92% EDIT “Ultimately, the story feels a little too vague, and the movie ends up obsessing more about getting the period details and visuals correct over offering a satisfying conclusion.” – Austin American-Statesman Sep 22, 2019 Full Review In the Tall Grass (2019) 36% EDIT “The closest recent parallel I can draw is between this and "A Quiet Place." Both movies prove that what we don't see (or hear) can conjure up an entirely different form of dread than you might expect.” – Austin American-Statesman Sep 22, 2019 Full Review Trixie Mattel: Moving Parts (2019) 91% EDIT “"Trixie Mattel: Moving Parts" filters the drag queen's occasionally twisted comedy through a lens of pure honesty and melancholy. It will satisfy existing Trixie Mattel fans while also serving as a solid introduction for any latecomers.” – Austin American-Statesman Aug 28, 2019 Full Review At the Heart of Gold: Inside the USA Gymnastics Scandal (2019) 100% EDIT “Make no mistake, this is not easy viewing. [Erin Lee] Carr thankfully avoids giving Dr. Larry Nassar much screen time and instead lets the women and their families tell their own stories with the help of some investigative journalists.” – Austin American-Statesman Jul 1, 2019 Full Review Her Smell (2018) 83% EDIT “This has an awful name, but it's a phenomenal movie.” – Austin American-Statesman May 14, 2019 Full Review J.T. LeRoy (2018) 55% EDIT “Both Dern and Stewart are terrific and do a lot of heavy lifting for a script that fumbles.” – Austin American-Statesman Apr 29, 2019 Full Review Thriller (2018) 40% EDIT “Jackson isn't reinventing the genre here (in fact, the story wears its influences like "Halloween" and "Prom Night" directly on its sleeve), but he provides a talented young cast and some genuine scares to make this a fun watch.” – Austin American-Statesman Apr 21, 2019 Full Review The Boy Band Con: The Lou Pearlman Story (2019) 81% EDIT “In this case, the truth is definitely stranger than fiction.” – Austin American-Statesman Mar 14, 2019 Full Review Booksmart (2019) 96% EDIT “It's almost unfathomable that this is anybody's first feature. "Booksmart" is a perfectly constructed and confident debut that already has me excited to see what Wilde does next.” – Austin American-Statesman Mar 12, 2019 Full Review Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda (2017) 98% EDIT “For fans who have been following his music career over the past four decades, you simply cannot pass up the opportunity to watch this as soon as you can.” – Austin American-Statesman Oct 18, 2018 Full Review Sorry to Bother You (2018) 93% A- EDIT “For having a relatively low budget, the film's style and overall art direction are immensely impressive.” – Austin American-Statesman Mar 15, 2018 Full Review Family (2018) 74% B EDIT “The true highlight of the entire film is watching Schilling, in full face paint, on stage with the Insane Clown Posse at the Gathering of the Juggalos. It's one of the most unexpected and amusing plot points I've seen at the festival this year.” – Austin American-Statesman Mar 15, 2018 Full Review Fast Color (2018) 83% EDIT “Fast Color is a thoughtful and compassionate sci-fi redemption story worth squeezing into your schedule.” – Austin American-Statesman Mar 15, 2018 Full Review Unlovable (2018) 82% A EDIT “"Unlovable" is a breath of fresh air and hopefully a launching pad for us to see more of DeGuzman's work. I think she has a lot more stories worth telling.” – Austin American-Statesman Mar 13, 2018 Full Review Constructing Albert (2017) 60% B EDIT “"Constructing Albert" introduces us to an intensely focused man who values his family and the people who help bring his ideas to life as much as he does forging a new path in the culinary world.” – Austin American-Statesman Mar 13, 2018 Full Review 1985 (2018) 96% B- EDIT “Despite the subject matter, "1985" rarely dips into maudlin territory. It wisely chooses instead to celebrate unconditional love and the notion that what we have in common is greater than what divides us.” – Austin American-Statesman Mar 13, 2018 Full Review Hereditary (2018) 90% A- EDIT “[Toni] Collette gives an absolute tour de force performance of a woman who slowly becomes unhinged.” – Austin American-Statesman Mar 13, 2018 Full Review Sadie (2018) 78% B EDIT “It's best to go into the movie without knowing much more about what happens next, but it's safe to say that Sadie has quite a dark side.” – Austin American-Statesman Mar 13, 2018 Full Review
