Sweet Bean (2015) 84% EDIT “The film's inoffensive simplicity suggests finger-painting, and offers about as much sophistication in terms of character development and theme.” – RogerEbert.com Sep 16, 2015 Full Review One Floor Below (2015) 83% EDIT “The key to appreciating "One Floor Below" is to keep in mind that it takes place in a country still troubled by its past.” – RogerEbert.com Sep 16, 2015 Full Review Something, Anything (2014) 93% 3.5/4 EDIT “The kind of movie you feel protective of even as you are watching it. Its rhythms and inflections are so subtle, it almost comes as a surprise just how compelling they ultimately become.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 9, 2015 Full Review Stranger by the Lake (2013) 94% 4/4 EDIT “"Stranger by the Lake" is the sexiest and most elegant thriller in years, and it's a damn shame it stands so little chance of traveling beyond the niche of a "gay film" it will probably get squeezed into.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 24, 2014 Full Review Arthur 2: On the Rocks (1988) 13% EDIT “Suggests an imaginary episode of All in the Family in which Archie Bunker goes out of his way to start a neighborhood branch of a gay-straight alliance, or a Looney Tunes short wherein Pep Le Pew gets fixed.” – House Next Door Jul 5, 2013 Full Review I'm So Excited! (2013) 49% 2/4 EDIT “The set is obviously and intentionally fake, but instead of creating a sense of make-believe, it actually burdens the film and gives it a clinical air that's rather suffocating.” – RogerEbert.com Jul 3, 2013 Full Review Big Business (1988) 52% EDIT “It may be Midler's ultimate vehicle, allowing the actress to wildly embrace her talent for both shrill bombast and that sensitive eagerness for life and pleasure that stoked her career-making performance in The Rose.” – House Next Door Jun 5, 2013 Full Review Crocodile Dundee II (1988) 12% EDIT “The sequel exacerbates problems already too evident in the first movie, most painfully the near-total disposability of Kozlowski's Sue, who spends most of the time reacting to Mick's quirks with chuckles.” – House Next Door May 15, 2013 Full Review The Door (2012) 44% 2.5/4 EDIT “Visually, there's an elegance to "The Door" that feels both a virtue and a limitation.” – Chicago Sun-Times Mar 21, 2013 Full Review The We and the I (2012) 70% 3.5/4 EDIT “A vivid snapshot of an interracial group of teenagers as they take a bus ride home on the last day of school.” – Chicago Sun-Times Mar 14, 2013 Full Review Everybody in Our Family (2012) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “A violent, funny and disconcerting vision of a familial argument turned into actual slugfest.” – Chicago Sun-Times Feb 28, 2013 Full Review A Hijacking (2013) 96% EDIT “As much a nail-biting thriller as an experiment in narrative dualism.” – House Next Door Nov 3, 2012 Full Review The Comedy (2012) 50% EDIT “Programmatically joyless, more cringe-inducing than laugh-drawing, Rick Alverson's The Comedy does everything it possibly can to disclaim its title.” – House Next Door Mar 12, 2012 Full Review Room 237 (2012) 94% EDIT “As parts of The Shining are played over and over again, accompanied by a nonstop commentary by its devotees, Room 237 manages to build up a vertiginous, slightly queasy momentum all its own.” – House Next Door Jan 26, 2012 Full Review For a Good Time, Call ... (2012) 57% EDIT “The movie is a garish, bitchy, and mostly flat-out unfunny examination of how selling sex doesn't make one an expert in dealing with it in one's own life.” – House Next Door Jan 25, 2012 Full Review 2 Days in New York (2012) 66% EDIT “Delpy is expert at pushing generic buttons and serving stale jokes as if she has just come up with them between her morning bagel and an afternoon brioche.” – House Next Door Jan 25, 2012 Full Review Keep the Lights On (2012) 89% EDIT “It's very rare that a viewer gets a sense of movie characters' erotic bonds morphing over the years while remaining basically unyielding.” – House Next Door Jan 24, 2012 Full Review Bestiaire (2012) 86% EDIT “Denis Ct's images are so ostensibly detached, they somehow manage to be beautiful without ever becoming particularly pleasant to look at.” – House Next Door Jan 24, 2012 Full Review The House I Live In (2012) 94% EDIT “Jarecki is both compassionate and myopic.” – House Next Door Jan 23, 2012 Full Review For Ellen (2012) 67% EDIT “eature, For Ellen, while certainly not an abject failure, is a disappointment nevertheless, and may cause concern to all those to whom the director's 2006 debut, In Between Days, was as dear as it remains to this” – House Next Door Jan 23, 2012 Full Review Simon Killer (2012) 77% EDIT “Stunningly daring, refreshingly adventurous, and impossible to shake off.” – House Next Door Jan 23, 2012 Full Review
