Paths of the Soul (2015) 93% 3/4 EDIT “Zhang Yang achieves an astonishing immediacy by simply allowing the prostration process to play out over and over with minimal aesthetic interference.” – Slant Magazine May 9, 2016 Full Review Elstree 1976 (2015) 81% 2/4 EDIT “Jon Spira doesn't extrapolate from his interviewees whether they feel like a true part of the Star Wars universe or mere tag-alongs to a pop-cultural phenomenon.” – Slant Magazine May 2, 2016 Full Review Pelé (2016) 33% 1.5/4 EDIT “The beautiful game, as Pelé called football (or soccer to us Americans), has never felt like such a sedate slog.” – Slant Magazine Apr 25, 2016 Full Review Diamond Tongues (2015) 100% 3/4 EDIT “Throughout, Pavan Moondi and Brian Robertson purposely indulge Hollywood formula only to subvert it.” – Slant Magazine Feb 15, 2016 Full Review Band of Robbers (2015) 81% 3/4 EDIT “It places more focus on the childish fabulousness of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer than the racial reckoning of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” – Slant Magazine Jan 10, 2016 Full Review Addicted to Fresno (2015) 32% 1.5/4 EDIT “According to the film, killing a guy is all it takes to save one's soul.” – Slant Magazine Sep 27, 2015 Full Review The Mend (2014) 78% 3/4 EDIT “The film is defined by its staunch refusal to clarify its characters' emotional issues, marooning them instead in the messes those emotions have wrought.” – Slant Magazine Aug 19, 2015 Full Review Amnesiac (2014) 29% 1.5/4 EDIT “Its concern for the reclamation of identity is less important than the dull approximation of The Others' stark haunted-house atmospherics.” – Slant Magazine Aug 10, 2015 Full Review Jenny's Wedding (2015) 20% 1.5/4 EDIT “Tolerance in the film doesn't so much suggest a recognizably real epiphany as it does a moving Hallmark card.” – Slant Magazine Jul 27, 2015 Full Review Samba (2014) 61% 2.5/4 EDIT “Even as Samba struggles to hold onto his identity, the film becomes entangled in an identity crisis of its own.” – Slant Magazine Jul 19, 2015 Full Review Jackie & Ryan (2014) 67% 2/4 EDIT “The film comes undone in its clumsy attempts to transform its story into a parable of economic distress.” – Slant Magazine Jun 28, 2015 Full Review Runoff (2014) 79% 3/4 EDIT “This emotionally affecting film never loses sight of the ethical complexity of forsaking a community in the name of an individual.” – Slant Magazine Jun 21, 2015 Full Review Balls Out (2014) 87% 2.5/4 EDIT “A sports movie actually attuned to the knowledge that victory in an inconsequential game bears no meaning.” – Slant Magazine Jun 15, 2015 Full Review Live From New York! (2015) 51% 2/4 EDIT “Formally, it relies on a bevy of spectacularly funny clips and a plethora of talking heads, most of which fall back on plaudits rather than sage insights.” – Slant Magazine Jun 7, 2015 Full Review Barely Lethal (2015) 26% 2/4 EDIT “The film settles into a time-honored groove of so many forgettable juvenile comedies before it.” – Slant Magazine May 22, 2015 Full Review Days of Grace (2011) 65% 2.5/4 EDIT “Eventually, the film's impressive array of formal pyrotechnics overwhelms its morals.” – Slant Magazine Apr 26, 2015 Full Review Closer to the Moon (2013) 46% 2/4 EDIT “Writer-director Nae Caranfil oddly forgoes the abundant elegiac aspects of his film's factual material for a tone approaching the ebullient.” – Slant Magazine Apr 12, 2015 Full Review October Gale (2014) 19% 2/4 EDIT “The film begins as a moodily introspective drama about grief before implausibly morphing into a stale thriller.” – Slant Magazine Mar 1, 2015 Full Review Wild Canaries (2014) 83% 3/4 EDIT “Lawrence Michael Levine's film occupies a sweet spot between the self-aware and taut.” – Slant Magazine Feb 22, 2015 Full Review Matt Shepard Is a Friend of Mine (2012) 100% 3/4 EDIT “The doc adopts the viewpoint specifically of those who knew him best, and seeks to separate the person from the emblem.” – Slant Magazine Jan 31, 2015 Full Review Song One (2014) 34% 2.5/4 EDIT “This snapshot of catharsis follows a familiar trajectory, but Kate Barker-Froyland refreshingly resists elevating her characters' relationship to the level of grandiose.” – Slant Magazine Jan 18, 2015 Full Review Medeas (2013) 80% 3/4 EDIT “Writer-director Andrea Pallaoro's feature-film debut, Medeas, isn't especially beholden to plot or dialogue, impressionistically shaping its story through pervasive silence.” – Slant Magazine Jan 12, 2015 Full Review Little Accidents (2014) 56% 3/4 EDIT “A movingly authentic exploration of a working-class milieu and the psychological and economic trauma that ripples through a town in the wake of a tragic accident.” – Slant Magazine Jan 9, 2015 Full Review Little Feet (2013) 75% 3/4 EDIT “This is a micro-budgeted affair of the heart that's never precious or obnoxious, but tender and moving and occasionally explosive in its intrinsic emotion.” – Slant Magazine Dec 8, 2014 Full Review Comet (2014) 44% 3/4 EDIT “The film's time-jumping strategy cleverly illuminates the way in which we go over and fixate on isolated incidents in our minds of breakups past.” – Slant Magazine Nov 30, 2014 Full Review
