Out Rage '69: The Question of Equality (1995) EDIT “The memories are the thing here.” – New York Times Jun 9, 2020 Full Review Coming Out Under Fire (1994) 91% EDIT “A reminder of a time when psychiatrists viewed homosexuals as mentally ill and the military viewed them as dangerous to morale, not to mention morality.” – New York Times Jun 8, 2020 Full Review Tongues Untied - The Black Gay Male Experience (1989) 100% EDIT “It is a remarkably rewarding effort.” – New York Times May 20, 2020 Full Review Forbidden City, USA (1989) 100% EDIT “Their recollections are generally light-hearted, but not without a dark strain.” – New York Times May 8, 2020 Full Review The Four Diamonds (1995) EDIT “Peter Werner's directorial hand is steady as it moves between the domestic and the fanciful, and the acting is solid.” – New York Times Sep 27, 2019 Full Review The Girl in the Picture (1986) EDIT “Mostly, however, the jokes are small and a touch familiar.” – New York Times Jun 17, 2019 Full Review Ken Burns: The Civil War (2015) 100% EDIT “So rich in conception and so rewarding in execution that it almost redeems the promise of the medium. Mr. Burns and his associates have translated the materials of history into television drama of an epic order.” – New York Times May 24, 2019 Full Review Caesar's Writers (1996) EDIT “The writers... retain the zest that went into the making of ''Your Show of Shows'' and ''Caesar's Hour,'' those vaudevilles of the tube that entered television lore.” – New York Times Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Welcome in Vienna (1986) EDIT “The statement gains power from the black-and-white photography of Gernot Roll and the art direction of Fritz Hollergschwandtner.” – New York Times Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Saturday, Sunday and Monday (1990) EDIT “... if the feast is not quite four star, the four stars are fun to watch as they serve up their Neapolitan personas, highly seasoned yet not overdone.” – New York Times Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Thug Life in D.C. (1999) EDIT “... incisive HBO documentary...” – New York Times Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Space Shuttle (1994) EDIT “"Space Shuttle" conveys the complexity and excitement of the manned flights and will probably inspire dreams of space travel in young viewers.” – New York Times Jan 11, 2018 Full Review American Cinema - V. 1 (1995) EDIT “Although the achievement does not match the ambition, there are rewards along the way.” – New York Times Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Fall of Saigon: Memories and Nightmares (1995) EDIT “"The Fall of Saigon" is a vivid, exciting, painful account of the final hours before the unconditional surrender of South Vietnam...” – New York Times Jan 11, 2018 Full Review The Gate of Heavenly Peace (1995) EDIT “... remarkable work...” – New York Times Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Me & My Matchmaker (1996) EDIT “The easygoing, hourlong documentary consists mainly of Ms. Nathan's wooing Mr. Wexler with meals while she tries to figure out whether he really wants a bride and, if so, what kind.” – New York Times Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Jackie: Behind the Myth (1999) EDIT “This collection of encomiums couldn't be more respectable and less revealing if it was produced by a Jacqueline Kennedy fan club, which in a way it is.” – New York Times Jan 10, 2018 Full Review The Commissar (Komissar) (1988) EDIT “Add ''Commissar'' to the remarkable series of Soviet movies that has been finding its way West after many years in the cinematic gulag.” – New York Times Jan 10, 2018 Full Review Arriba Hazaña (Hail Hazana) (2014) EDIT “The movie's director, Jose Maria Gutierrez, who also collaborated on the screenplay, builds convincingly to the rebellion, shrewdly exploring the divisions among the students as well as the faculty.” – New York Times Jan 10, 2018 Full Review The Tale of Ruby Rose (1987) EDIT “Ruby Rose's tale... is undernourished and overcooked, like the possums on which the household survives. The highs come mainly from the highlands.” – New York Times Jan 10, 2018 Full Review The Great McGinty (1940) 100% EDIT “''The Great McGinty'' was the great Preston Sturges's first showing as a director, and a happy occasion it was.” – New York Times Jan 10, 2018 Full Review I Don't Give a Damn (1988) EDIT “''I Don't Give a Damn'' is a soapy Israeli movie composed of the residue of better movies past.” – New York Times Jan 10, 2018 Full Review Shattered Dreams: Picking Up the Pieces (1987) EDIT “Unfortunately, the movie makers play so heavily on the passions on the edges of Israeli opinion that their work loses focus.” – New York Times Jan 10, 2018 Full Review Dark Habits (1984) 75% EDIT “Mr. Almodovar, who wrote as well as directed, does not quite bring the events together, but his wry attitude toward conventional morality is not lost, and the acting is sufficiently controlled to keep the characters from running away into farce.” – New York Times Jan 10, 2018 Full Review The Mass Is Over (1985) EDIT “The story is lightly told by Nanni Moretti, the director, co-writer and star, but we get to know none of these people; they are brought one after the other as means of overloading Giulio's circuits.” – New York Times Jan 10, 2018 Full Review
