Jackie (2016) 87% EDIT “It's easy to recognize some of the shared elements between Jackie and Neruda. But it's still striking to see Larraín tackle such quintessentially American material (and with a largely different crew) and managing to hit the mark so cleanly once again.” – Cinema Scope Oct 11, 2017 Full Review The Age of Shadows (2016) 100% EDIT “A satisfying cloak-and-dagger thriller set in Japanese-occupied Korea during the 1920s, Kim Jee-woon's The Age of Shadows betrays a kind of business-like approach to spy games, institutional and otherwise.” – Cinema Scope Oct 11, 2017 Full Review Frantz (2016) 91% EDIT “Frantz deftly escapes the traps of its own limited premise by creating a mirror version of itself, like many of its own characters do.” – Cinema Scope Oct 11, 2017 Full Review Based on a True Story (2017) 50% C+ EDIT “A stylish but ultimately stiff collection of old tropes about writers and their audience, fiction vs. reality, and the Other that becomes you.” – IndieWire Jun 1, 2017 Full Review United States of Love (2016) 86% B- EDIT “The film owes a lot to the four central performances, with Kijowska proving especially heartbreaking in her solitude.” – The Film Stage Nov 17, 2016 Full Review Brimstone (2016) 45% C EDIT “The film gets into psycho-religious horror-trip mode and never lets go, obliterating any potential nuances or characterization work in the process.” – The Film Stage Sep 5, 2016 Full Review The Childhood of a Leader (2015) 90% B+ EDIT “There are shades of Haneke and Von Trier (Corbet worked with both as an actor) in its willingness to antagonize the viewer, as well as a fondness for the formalism of times past.” – The Film Stage Jul 18, 2016 Full Review Francofonia (2015) 87% B EDIT “Of course, this being Sokurov, you can't let the film lull you into abstraction and relativism.” – The Film Stage Mar 30, 2016 Full Review The Look of Silence (2014) 96% B+ EDIT “It only takes a few minutes to fully comprehend how The Look of Silence is complementing and expanding the subject, and why Oppenheimer is not letting this go.” – The Film Stage Mar 20, 2016 Full Review 99 Homes (2014) 92% B- EDIT “Sustained rhythm, urgent framing, and a perniciously overbearing score ensure this second venture into the darkness of a systemic failure will not be forgotten so quickly.” – The Film Stage Mar 20, 2016 Full Review Manglehorn (2014) 50% C- EDIT “The poetic and the naturalistic clash together, and it doesn't look like it was done on purpose.” – The Film Stage Mar 20, 2016 Full Review The Cut (2014) 58% C+ EDIT “Its historical devils are never really front and center, and The Cut could, in fact, be described as the most hopeful genocide drama ever.” – The Film Stage Mar 20, 2016 Full Review The Humbling (2014) 53% C- EDIT “A melancholic alternation of bitter and comedic sketches, all resolutely low-key and wildly uneven.” – The Film Stage Mar 15, 2016 Full Review A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence (2014) 90% B+ EDIT “[A] constant tension between a confined space and the human oddity inside it fuels these vital, moving, and often simply laugh-out-loud creations.” – The Film Stage Mar 15, 2016 Full Review Cymbeline (2014) 32% C EDIT “Almereyda is back at it fourteen years later with Cymbeline, a dramatically clunkier Shakespeare play, both in and of itself and for the challenges it presents to a modern adaptation.” – The Film Stage Mar 12, 2016 Full Review Pasolini (2014) 79% B EDIT “It's an absorbing portrait, particularly compelling when relying on Pasolini's own words, which we hear verbatim through original letters and interviews.” – The Film Stage Mar 12, 2016 Full Review Good Kill (2014) 75% C- EDIT “Niccol's aim is single-minded and relentless.” – The Film Stage Mar 12, 2016 Full Review The Postman's White Nights (2014) 89% B- EDIT “The Postman's White Nights keeps inserting moments of inspired visual poetry into its sturdy, meat-and-potatoes foundations.” – The Film Stage Mar 12, 2016 Full Review Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) 91% B+ EDIT “The reason this all works remains Lubezki's approach, which is the true main attraction of the show.” – The Film Stage Feb 22, 2016 Full Review Black Mass (2015) 74% B- EDIT “A solid, straightforward if not particularly memorable addition to a genre that has seen a number of illustrious contributions in recent years.” – The Film Stage Feb 21, 2016 Full Review A War (2015) 90% B+ EDIT “So precise and inquisitive that there's not even a hint of padding in sight.” – The Film Stage Feb 21, 2016 Full Review Blood of My Blood (2015) 75% B EDIT “An enigmatic, messy little tale.” – The Film Stage Feb 21, 2016 Full Review War on Everyone (2016) 61% C+ EDIT “A noticeable step down from the highs of [his previous films], War on Everyone is still only McDonagh's third effort and nonetheless a bold, lively endeavor.” – The Film Stage Feb 19, 2016 Full Review The Patriarch (2016) 86% B EDIT “A sweeping, affectionately grandiose folk epic, The Patriarch brings Tamahori back to his roots.” – The Film Stage Feb 19, 2016 Full Review
