	Time (2020)	Tanner Tafelski	... [Garrett Bradley is] a new empathetic and caring voice that comes at a time when American cinema is sorely lacking in one. Posted Dec 07, 2021 Edit critic review
	White Sun (2016)	Tanner Tafelski	...has a no-frills aesthetic. Its plain look puts the center of attention on its characters, all of whom are not drawn, but sketched out as strictly functional in this kind of social, and de-centered drama unfolding among many players. Posted Oct 30, 2019 Edit critic review
	Correspondences (2016)	Tanner Tafelski	Correspondences is Gomes' long and loving film about a friendship that spans, years, decades, continents. Posted Oct 30, 2019 Edit critic review
	The Irishman (2019)	Tanner Tafelski	Martin Scorsese has made a three-and-a-half-hour late film comparable to those Ford, Hawks, and Lewis made in their golden years... Posted Oct 29, 2019 Edit critic review
	Zombi Child (2019)	Tanner Tafelski	[Bertrand Bonello] has made a zombie movie with astounding poise and formal control... Posted Oct 29, 2019 Edit critic review
	Freedom (2019)	Tanner Tafelski	...the movie is pointedly one-note, exposing you to displays of sensual pleasure. Posted Oct 29, 2019 Edit critic review
	Vitalina Varela (2019)	Tanner Tafelski	Vitalina is a deepening of [Horse Money] as well as something of a departure for the director. Posted Oct 29, 2019 Edit critic review
	Hotel by the River (2018)	Tanner Tafelski	Hotel by the River is something new, something different. Hong is stretching himself, creating another tragicomic work - but this time the emphasis is on the tragic. Posted Feb 15, 2019 Edit critic review
	The Baker's Wife (1938)	Tanner Tafelski	In Pagnol's cinema, talk is action. He fills scenes with dialogue, yet allowing sufficient pauses and breaks - breathing room - in between exchanges ... amongst characters. Posted Jan 02, 2019 Edit critic review
	Anatahan (1953)	Tanner Tafelski	Anatahan is that rare artwork where intention mirrors execution. Under ideal circumstances, Sternberg made the film that he wanted to make. He satisfied himself, not the spectators. Posted Nov 18, 2018 Edit critic review
	Brothers of the Night (2016)	Tanner Tafelski	Brothers of the Night is not so much about prostitution... It's more of a backdrop to this nocturnal world that Chiha observes, and participates in its fashioning-a world built on friendship, brotherhood, and community. Posted Nov 18, 2018 Edit critic review
	Jeannette: The Childhood of Joan of Arc (2017)	Tanner Tafelski	Along with Johnnie To's Office (2015) and Sion Sono's Tokyo Tribe (2014), Dumont has made one of the most unusual, singular, and best musicals in recent years. Posted Nov 18, 2018 Edit critic review
	4 Days in France (2016)	Tanner Tafelski	4 Days in France is about losing oneself-in the travels and in the brief encounters-that by the end, one suddenly discovers what had been lost all along. Posted Nov 18, 2018 Edit critic review
	Zama (2017)	Tanner Tafelski	Zama offers us the freedom that its titular character so desperately seeks in people, places, and things. Posted Nov 18, 2018 Edit critic review
	Scary Mother (2017)	Tanner Tafelski	Scary Mother is a new film that formally sets itself apart from the glut of recent neo-realist cinema emerging from Georgia. Posted Nov 18, 2018 Edit critic review
	Scum (1979)	Tanner Tafelski	It's a film that hammers home the depravity of institutionalization... Posted Nov 18, 2018 Edit critic review
	Killer of Sheep (1978)	Tanner Tafelski	Charles Burnett still hasn't gotten his due... In spite of his later difficulties, Burnett's first feature-his thesis film at UCLA-Killer of Sheep (1978), has gone on to influence quite a few artists in the late 20th and early 21st century. Posted Nov 18, 2018 Edit critic review
	Monrovia, Indiana (2018)	Tanner Tafelski	...with Monrovia, Indiana (2018), Wiseman hits a "sweet spot," making a great work with consummate pacing and scope... Posted Oct 26, 2018 Edit critic review
