In My Room (2018)
Just when our engagement with the story should building, it starts to feel curiously inert.

Capernaum (2018)
A film that chooses raw dramatic power over narrative finesse.

To the Four Winds (Libre) (2018)
Should attract both the politically engaged and admirers of documentaries in the tradition of Nicolas Philibert and Raymond Depardon.
Posted May 17, 2018

Contains some eye-catching moments but the combination of languorous pacing and laboured line delivery means that it is is likely to play best on the festival circuit.

A leisurely paced, sometimes enigmatic pleasure which will appeal to those who like their art cinema intelligent and slow-burning.

[A] resonant, universal tale of suffering and lost dreams...

Sofia (2018)
It's a small, worthy, film that works reasonably well, although there's something a little too linear about its structure.

Under the Silver Lake (2018)

This quietly controlled, distinctive piece is a minor piece with some major charms and should travel widely, on two wheels or otherwise.

Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
A fun, if lightweight space Western, made slightly serious by an equal rights - for humans, Wookiees, even droids - subtext.

BlacKkKlansman (2018)
BlacKkKlansman... [has] a blunt power that's terribly, painfully persuasive.

At War (En guerre) (2018)
Ripped from the headlines, keenly researched and carefully crafted, this fictional tale has near-universal resonance...
Posted May 15, 2018

The people interviewed are sharp and witty, carrying their heroism lightly and revealing a strength of character that sustained them through lengthy imprisonment and beyond.

Deadpool 2 (2018)
While Deadpool 2 delivers the gags and the gun-shot geeky Marvel insider references, the plot could have done with some more finesse.

The Harvesters (2018)

It is compelling testimony to the way abuse steals a life.

Never entirely coherent or completely satisfying. The beginning may be striking, but the ending leaves you with the feeling that there was less here than first met the eye.
Posted May 14, 2018
29
Unravels with a Pinocchio-like logic that comes across as perplexing at first, then proves spellbinding.
Posted May 14, 2018

This is a finely judged piece that makes clever use of its setup.
Posted May 14, 2018

Winter Brothers (2018)
An intense, wildly uneven psychodrama...Winter Brothers has elements of deadpan comedy but is only truly engaging in fits and starts.

Shoplifters (Manbiki kazoku) (2018)
33
Sink or Swim (Le grand bain) (2018)
A surefooted crowdpleaser with enough warmth and the committed talents of a stellar ensemble cast to fend off any sense of predictability.
Posted May 14, 2018
34
Cassel gives a relishable display of slow-burn cluelessness, and Leklou, extremely watchable as the ineffectual Farès, comes across as a kind of French Eddie Marsan.
Posted May 14, 2018
35
Climax (2018)
A blazingly original, extremely disturbing film that's something quite new - a psychotropic street dance movie that turns into an orgiastic horror trip.
Posted May 14, 2018
36
The Load (Teret) (2018)
37
This modest but convincing film benefits from a fine ensemble cast and a committed central performance by Romain Duris.

Manto (2018)

Elevated by wryly idiosyncratic flourishes in its execution.

Angel Face (Gueule d'ange) (2018)
Anybody with functioning reproductive organs can produce a child, but this films reminds us that being a parent is a major and never-ending commitment too overwhelming for some

Another Day of Life (2017)
Matches documentary authenticity with dramatic intensity.

Ash Is Purest White (2018)
The latest state of the nation report from Jia Zhang-Ke gives the viewer plenty to chew over and is suffused with a mournful melancholy.
Posted May 12, 2018
45
To encounter a film this intransigently confrontational by an artist who shows no sign of softening will be a nightmare for many, but yes, for many a privilege and a pleasure.

Diamantino (2018)
