Doesn't always distinguish between fact and fiction, about an interesting social and artistic experiment. October 17, 2013 | Rating: 2/4

"The Institute" stumbles between documentary and exploratory simulation, at once confusing and pedantic. October 10, 2013 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Eventually, the documentary's limited perspective becomes a liability when the screen goes dark and we're left with more questions than answers. Adventures only take us so far. October 10, 2013 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

McCall does a skillful job of reconstructing this hipster-centric game, though much of the proceedings still come off as one of those "you had to be there" affairs. October 3, 2013 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

You're unsure if he's a Werner Erhard-style huckster or a Silicon Alley tub-thumper about to do a product launch. That uncertainty mirrors the players' nervous yet giddy involvement. October 17, 2013 | Full Review…

You leave the film not knowing what to believe, and while that can be frustrating, you're also left with an undeniable urge -- even if it's a tiny one -- to find out more. October 17, 2013 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

All of which is genuinely interesting, even if you find incomprehensible the idea of devoting significant portions of your waking time and energy to what is, more than anything, an elaborate scavenger hunt. October 17, 2013 | Full Review…

Slickly edited and initially intriguing, but it lacks something that's a requirement for the vast majority of documentaries: revealing insights about its subject matter. October 13, 2013 | Rating: 5.25/10 | Full Review…

It's a divisive, shadowy conversation-starter of a movie that's as much fun to talk and think about as it is to watch. October 10, 2013 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
