Sound of Falling (2025) 95% 3.5/4 EDIT “The past comes off in Mascha Schilinski’s film as an onerous, if unseen, weight on the present.” – Slant Magazine Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Love (2024) 96% 3/4 EDIT “The film's simplicity serves to highlight the rich complexity of human emotion. ” – Slant Magazine May 15, 2025 Full Review A Minecraft Movie (2025) 48% 1.5/4 EDIT “There’s a self-reflexivity to the game’s artifact-y textures that’s lost in this film adaptation, where the finely detailed look of just about everything says nothing in itself about the endless possibilities of a digital world’s malleability.” – Slant Magazine Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Eric LaRue (2023) 69% 2/4 EDIT “While the film features a strong performance from Judy Greer, it’s essentially a patchwork of broad strokes that rarely feel like they’re bringing its world to credible life.” – Slant Magazine Mar 30, 2025 Full Review The Graduates (2023) 96% 3/4 EDIT “While Hannah Peterson, with her emphasis on quiet moments and mementos mori, effectively suffuses The Graduates with a mournful absence of life, she also reminds us of the warmth that can be so typical of high school.” – Slant Magazine Oct 29, 2024 Full Review No Other Land (2024) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “With exceptional lucidity, No Other Land reminds us of the human stakes of Israel’s resettlement of the West Bank, and that fighting for justice starts from the ground up.” – Slant Magazine Sep 2, 2024 Full Review The Devil's Bath (2024) 91% 3.5/4 EDIT “Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala depict Agnes’s plight with empathy but with a horror maven’s sense of ratcheting unease and encroaching doom. ” – Slant Magazine Jun 19, 2024 Full Review Spaceman (2024) 50% 1.5 EDIT “The film ultimately doesn’t discover very much unexplored thematic space of its own.” – Slant Magazine Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Dahomey (2024) 97% 3.5/4 EDIT “Mati Diop’s captivating, fabulistic documentary Dahomey confronts the reality of how modernity has been shaped by the West’s theft of cultural heritage.” – Slant Magazine Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Sasquatch Sunset (2024) 71% 3/4 EDIT “What we’re confronted with in the film may be less the quaint idiocy of four dull simians and more our own inability to loosen up and just live.” – Slant Magazine Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Cuckoo (2024) 79% 2/4 EDIT “One may wish that the absurdity of the conceit had been matched by a bit more irreverence in the script and audacity in the imagery.” – Slant Magazine Feb 18, 2024 Full Review Love Lies Bleeding (2024) 94% 2.5/4 EDIT “In the end, it’s a memorably girthy, if not evenly muscled, ode to the treacherousness but ultimate value of romantic love.” – Slant Magazine Feb 18, 2024 Full Review Suspended Time (2024) 66% 3/4 EDIT “Olivier Assayas’s film is a gently smart and warm-spirited look at love as the core term of human existence.” – Slant Magazine Feb 17, 2024 Full Review Small Things Like These (2024) 93% 2.5/4 EDIT “The moral schema of the film ends up having all the clarity of melodrama, with our suffering hero cast against a practically snarling villain that almost defies reality.” – Slant Magazine Feb 17, 2024 Full Review Orlando, My Political Biography (2023) 94% 3/4 EDIT “Orlando, My Political Biography languishes in an undefinable interstitial space, floating between fiction and essay film.” – Slant Magazine Oct 3, 2023 Full Review The Delinquents (2023) 86% 3.5/4 EDIT “The Delinquents alternatingly dares the viewer to read it as a caper flick, a moral parable, a comedy of coincidences, and an existential probe.” – Slant Magazine Sep 9, 2023 Full Review Here (2023) 95% 3.5/4 EDIT “Bas Devos’s trademark placidity and restraint constitutes a challenge to narrative convention. ” – Slant Magazine Sep 7, 2023 Full Review Reality (2023) 93% EDIT “The film interrogates both the state of our world and the lines between fiction and document.” – Slant Magazine May 28, 2023 Full Review L'immensità (2022) 85% 3/4 EDIT “By turns wry and tragic, but never glib or mawkish, this is a visually rich and evocative drama about navigating the often treacherous path to adulthood.” – Slant Magazine May 13, 2023 Full Review Music (2023) 82% 3/4 EDIT “Initially, more than mere fun, Angela Schanelec’s approach to storytelling is surprisingly affecting, but once you’ve figured out how to play, the game begins to feel a bit, well, ancient.” – Slant Magazine Feb 27, 2023 Full Review Passages (2023) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “The film carries the almost exotic interest of its milieu as well as deeply personal overtones.” – Slant Magazine Feb 26, 2023 Full Review Afire (2023) 91% 3.5/4 EDIT “Afire builds a story that begins as a hangout comedy with a sad-sack at its center but gradually becomes a slow-motion conflagration that offers no easy answers.” – Slant Magazine Feb 26, 2023 Full Review The Adults (2023) 72% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film affectingly captures the uniquely American ennui provoked by the banalities of a hometown and the lost utopia of childhood.” – Slant Magazine Feb 21, 2023 Full Review Past Lives (2023) 95% 3/4 EDIT “Diverging from romances in which lovers are expected to move heaven, earth, and themselves in order to make a moment of love last forever, Past Lives asks us to embrace the changes that come with time.” – Slant Magazine Feb 19, 2023 Full Review The Survival of Kindness (2022) 85% 3/4 EDIT “An epic adventure in the guise of an arthouse flick, The Survival of Kindness makes up in visual power and moral clarity what it lacks in subtext.” – Slant Magazine Feb 19, 2023 Full Review
