The Celluloid Closet (1995) 96% EDIT “The Celluloid Closet will be remembered as a landmark. ” – Newark Star-Ledger Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Hemingway & Gellhorn (2012) 49% EDIT “Hemingway & Gellhorn is dominated by its stars, Clive Owen and Nicole Kidman, both of whom attack their roles with a hearty bravura and over-the-top enthusiasm that lets you know how fired up they were to do this movie.” – The Daily Beast May 29, 2020 Full Review Ferrell Takes The Field (2015) 71% EDIT “Ferrell Takes the Field is laid-back humor, affectionate towards the game and those who work in it. It's fun rather than funny.” – The Daily Beast Aug 6, 2019 Full Review Searching for Ingmar Bergman (2018) 91% EDIT “Margarethe von Trotta's Searching for Ingmar Bergman is affectionate, playful and at times passionate-all qualities one does not easily associate with Bergman's films.” – Truthdig Nov 9, 2018 Full Review Dunkirk (2017) 92% EDIT “Nolan directs without hyperbole. There is surprisingly little action in Dunkirk, but the suspense is so heightened that you may not realize it until the film is over.” – Truthdig Aug 8, 2017 Full Review Race (2016) 64% EDIT “Race, though it picks up considerable steam when the story reaches the Berlin Olympics, often seems disjointed.” – Truthdig Feb 24, 2016 Full Review Antonia's Line (1995) 69% EDIT “Gorris is a talented filmmaker with an eye for the fine points of sexual politics. But in Antonia's Line, she dulls the fine points of politics and calls it fable, and undercuts her own incisiveness.” – Newhouse News Service Mar 5, 2002 Full Review 61* (2001) 86% EDIT “Maybe you had to have been there to really appreciate 61*. On the other hand, 61* might just make you feel as if you were.” – Salon.com Oct 21, 2001 Full Review Apocalypse Now Redux (1979) 93% EDIT “Though it may be a much clearer picture of the director's original intent, ultimately the new "Apocalypse Now" merely brings into focus the limits and faults of Coppola's -- and Milius' -- original concept. ” – Salon.com Aug 2, 2001 Full Review
