If These Walls Could Sing (2022) 95% 4/5 EDIT “[A] charming, but not hugely revealing, memoir of a pop shrine.” – Financial Times Jan 4, 2023 Full Review The Watermelon Woman (1996) 92% EDIT “[Dunye] deals with her high-flying themes (sexuality, race, history) with a deft, low-budget touch.” – Financial Times Jan 22, 2022 Full Review Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese (2019) 92% EDIT “Martin Scorsese's masterful account of Bob Dylan's 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue contains predictable treasures, jolting surprises, and a mischievous sprinkle of untruths.” – Financial Times Dec 11, 2019 Full Review The Ballad of Jack and Rose (2005) 46% 2/5 EDIT “So we have the Oscar-winning poet laureate's son wasting his and our time in a flower-power-hangover movie that might have been made 25 years ago, though better, by Hal Ashby.” – Financial Times Oct 7, 2018 Full Review The Hunting of the President (2004) 74% EDIT “This is brilliantly persuasive film-making, assembling vivid first-hand testimonies and contemporary accounts with a concision that makes light of the story's complexities.” – Financial Times Oct 7, 2018 Full Review Flesh (1968) 75% EDIT “Flesh is strikingly redolent of its time: morally vacant, stylish, lightweight, daring, but also dreary. It represents everything people both love and hate about the 1960s.” – Financial Times Oct 7, 2018 Full Review Goodfellas (1990) 93% 5/5 EDIT “Goodfellas is remorseless, its message terminally bleak.” – Financial Times Jan 19, 2017 Full Review Big River Man (2009) 91% 3/5 EDIT “There is a general air of contrivance as well as connivance on the part of the filmmakers. Best are the scenes of primitive quetitude that seem to take place outside the perimeters of the film altogether.” – Financial Times Sep 4, 2009 Full Review (500) Days of Summer (2009) 86% 3/5 EDIT “(500) Days of Summer is an above average rom-com that dares to venture towards an appalling conclusion.” – Financial Times Sep 4, 2009 Full Review District 9 (2009) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Director Neill Blomkamp expertly marshals the action, and although the climactic exchanges settle into familiar territory, he provokes genuine moral outrage.” – Financial Times Sep 4, 2009 Full Review
