Manson Family Vacation (2015) 100% B EDIT “Manson Family Vacation proves Nick and Conrad are better when they are together and Davis wisely keeps their relationship at the center of the film, no matter what the two brothers encounter on their journey together.” – Film School Rejects Aug 26, 2015 Full Review Stray Dog (2014) 100% A- EDIT “Stray Dog is an impressive documentary (and a major accomplishment for Granik) because goes beyond a simple a portrait of a man and becomes something inherently inspirational.” – Film School Rejects Jul 1, 2015 Full Review The Artist (2011) 95% EDIT “Filmed in stunning black-and-white, The Artist takes us back to a time when men wore suits, women wore hats and a simple dance could lead to love.” – Film School Rejects Feb 17, 2015 Full Review Harmontown (2014) 72% B EDIT “The message at the heart of Harmontown shows how Harmon may have achieved certain goals, but the bigger challenge he still faces is learning to accept himself the way his audience and fans have accepted him.” – Film School Rejects Oct 6, 2014 Full Review Earth to Echo (2014) 49% B- EDIT “Full of heart and framed around a fun adventure with a lovable little alien, Earth to Echo should appeal to adults and kids alike.” – Film School Rejects Jun 30, 2014 Full Review Snowpiercer (2013) 94% B- EDIT “While the highly stylized set pieces are certainly eye catching, they start to feel disjointed and nonsensical.” – Film School Rejects Jun 13, 2014 Full Review Mud (2013) 97% A EDIT “Nichols truly takes you into this world and while the story may be a bit unsettling, the performances refuse to allow you to take your eyes off the screen.” – Film School Rejects Jan 1, 2014 Full Review In a World ... (2013) 92% B- EDIT “While certainly funny and goofy, In A World... also imparts an important message about the power of voice, and Bell is clearly a voice to be heard.” – Film School Rejects Dec 31, 2013 Full Review Muscle Shoals (2013) 96% B+ EDIT “It is amazing to see how this style and sound came to fruition as it changed the careers of artists like Aretha Franklin and created some of the most memorable albums and songs from artists like Etta James, The Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and [more].” – Film School Rejects Dec 30, 2013 Full Review The Crash Reel (2013) 96% A- EDIT “The Crash Wheel makes a valiant effort to bring wider awareness to some of the bigger issues surrounding these extreme sports, but the film is strongest when it is simply Pearce's story.” – Film School Rejects Dec 22, 2013 Full Review The Act of Killing (2012) 96% B+ EDIT “[The film explores] what happens when you give those who have done something terrible (in this case, killing thousands) a forum through which to tell their story to see if a new perspective changes their attitude.” – Film School Rejects Dec 16, 2013 Full Review Short Term 12 (2013) 98% A EDIT “Short Term 12 will having you laughing one minute and tearing up in the next.” – Film School Rejects Dec 10, 2013 Full Review Out of the Furnace (2013) 53% B EDIT “Bale and Affleck have an easy relationship and chemistry that makes them seem like real brothers, with Bale yet again proving he is the master at conveying a monologue's worth of emotion in a single brooding look.” – Film School Rejects Nov 11, 2013 Full Review Ass Backwards (2013) 27% B- EDIT “Wilson and Raphael do not hold back in their performances, fully committing to their roles and making Chloe and Kate both lovable and laughable.” – Film School Rejects Oct 17, 2013 Full Review The Conjuring (2013) 86% B- EDIT “The Conjuring is a well-crafted throwback to old school horror films, and the scares are unrelenting, but fans of the genre may find themselves guessing what is coming next.” – Film School Rejects Oct 7, 2013 Full Review Kill Your Darlings (2013) 77% c EDIT “Never really hits or finds its footing, making it a decent and at times inspiring film, but one that leaves you wanting to dive more fully into either Carr or Ginsberg's lives.” – Film School Rejects Sep 14, 2013 Full Review The Spectacular Now (2013) 92% B+ EDIT “The honest way all the actors approach their relationships with one another make The Spectacular Now not only a good time but a story worth viewing.” – Film School Rejects Jul 29, 2013 Full Review Ernest & Celestine (2012) 98% A EDIT “Directors Stphane Aubier, Vincent Patar, and Benjamin Renner keep Ernest and Celestine visually stimulating, which should entertain both children and adults alike.” – Film School Rejects Jun 24, 2013 Full Review Europa Report (2013) 81% B- EDIT “The movie is filled with impressive visuals, especially for an independent film, that bring you into a world rooted in enough reality to make every moment seem possible.” – Film School Rejects Jun 24, 2013 Full Review Sound City (2013) 100% A EDIT “A comprehensive look into the recording process and how it has changed over the years (and continues to change) while taking audiences on a journey from where music was in the '70s to where it is today.” – Film School Rejects Jan 29, 2013 Full Review A.C.O.D. (2013) 52% B+ EDIT “Zicherman, who also directed the film, has brought together a strong comedic cast, but he also utilizes them well to create a funny film that even those of us who are not A.C.O.D.s (see: me) can relate to.” – Film School Rejects Jan 25, 2013 Full Review John Dies at the End (2012) 59% EDIT “[A] very off-kilter tale that plays to old school horror fans.” – Film School Rejects Jan 22, 2013 Full Review Celeste and Jesse Forever (2012) 71% B- EDIT “” – Film School Rejects Jan 22, 2013 Full Review The Sapphires (2012) 91% A EDIT “A fully realized and layered story that delivers both humor and compassion, fantastic music that truly takes you back to that point in time, and an unforgettable performance from O'Dowd.” – Film School Rejects Jan 22, 2013 Full Review Silver Linings Playbook (2012) 92% B+ EDIT “Cooper and Lawrence radiate off each other as they run both physically and mentally away from (and towards) each other.” – Film School Rejects Jan 22, 2013 Full Review
