Bad Exorcists (2015) EDIT “Bad Exorcists remains laugh-out-loud funny until the very end, when things resolve on a flat note.” – Willamette Week Aug 17, 2017 Full Review Without Name (2016) 81% 3/4 EDIT “Fans of Altered States, The Wicker Man and The Witch will enjoy Finnegan's psychedelic montages, Eric's descent into madness, and the forest's meditative unease.” – Willamette Week Mar 1, 2017 Full Review A Dark Song (2016) 91% 4/4 EDIT “This ritualistic haunter is scary, the mood rarely breaks, and for once we get a horror movie with a functional character arc.” – Willamette Week Feb 9, 2017 Full Review Obit. (2016) 93% 4/4 EDIT “The writers' stories are juxtaposed snugly beside the details of their subjects to create an exceptionally tight, often hilarious film.” – Willamette Week Feb 9, 2017 Full Review The Death of Louis XIV (2016) 87% 1/4 EDIT “Aside from Louis' demise, little happens aside from the fretting of charlatan doctors and hand-wringing of courtly devotees. Jean-Pierre Laud's star performance is masterful, but cannot breathe life into this exquisite corpse.” – Willamette Week Feb 8, 2017 Full Review We Are the Flesh (2016) 73% 3/4 EDIT “The dialogue is as poetic as the story is ambiguous, but strong performances and a muted, artful visual style keep this from straying into exploitation territory. Bring a long attention span and a strong stomach.” – Willamette Week Feb 8, 2017 Full Review One More Time With Feeling (2016) 100% A EDIT “While he's a compelling subject on his own -- and remarkably vulnerable -- it's his relationships with his musical partner Warren Ellis and his wife, Susie Bick, that anchor Cave's ability to work through his grief.” – Willamette Week Jan 25, 2017 Full Review Mavis! (2015) 97% EDIT “Today, at 75, [Mavis Staples has] been rediscovered by this fantastic HBO production that's directed, produced and edited by only women.” – Willamette Week Dec 7, 2016 Full Review Jaco (2015) EDIT “Using color Super 8 footage from Jaco's early life and funding from Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo to great effect, Jaco spares no expense in telling the tragic story of this incredible musician.” – Willamette Week Dec 7, 2016 Full Review Korla (2015) EDIT “It's a remarkable and puzzling mystery, unraveled in this engaging film.” – Willamette Week Dec 7, 2016 Full Review We Are Twisted F...ing Sister! (2014) 80% EDIT “Even if you're not a fan of the music or image, We Are Twisted F***ing Sister! is an inspirational testament to faith, courage and big hair.” – Willamette Week Dec 7, 2016 Full Review Gimme Danger (2016) 95% B- EDIT “Jarmusch leaves no fingerprints, making this documentary a rather straightforward, artless exercise. Nevertheless, the film is carried by its subject matter, the music and a handful of long interviews with Iggy Pop that largely serve as narration.” – Willamette Week Nov 10, 2016 Full Review The Beatles: Eight Days a Week -- The Touring Years (2016) 96% A EDIT “Howard can't help but overshoot the mark here, extending the story into a bit more of a biography than the subtitle calls for, but that's also what makes this film a worthwhile gateway for the uninitiated.” – Willamette Week Sep 15, 2016 Full Review Lights Out (2016) 74% C+ EDIT “A general audience will be unnerved, occasionally scared out of their wits, and probably satisfied by this old-fashioned exploration of fear of the dark. Horror enthusiasts will bemoan this tepid, overly safe foray.” – Willamette Week Aug 3, 2016 Full Review The Neon Demon (2016) 59% C EDIT “Patient fans of eye candy may get their money's worth from Neon Demon, but those craving a good story will be better served with another viewing of Black Swan.” – Willamette Week Jun 29, 2016 Full Review Morphine Journey of Dreams (2014) A EDIT “The best music documentaries simultaneously humanize and immortalize their subjects... the viewer should walk away with a deeper understanding, appreciation and emotional involvement with the artist. Shuman's doc succeeds on all levels.” – Willamette Week Dec 10, 2015 Full Review The Lives of Hamilton Fish (2013) B+ EDIT “Once you're in its thrall, Mason's dramatic indie-folk score is surprisingly effective, tempering the darkness of Marissa Nadler with a hint of Yoko Ono.” – Willamette Week Sep 16, 2015 Full Review Love & Mercy (2014) 90% B+ EDIT “Fans will delight in the picture-perfect re-creations of Wilson's parties, photo shoots and recording sessions.” – Willamette Week Jun 19, 2015 Full Review
