Bad Education (2022) EDIT “Bad Education ultimately proves to be disappointing at best and troubling at worst, and is far from the ideal showcase for its budding filmmaker’s talents.” – In Review Online Apr 14, 2024 Full Review Milli Vanilli (2023) 100% EDIT “Milli Vanilli, in the end, functions as a potent cautionary tale about the pitfalls of pop stardom, and of the exploitation of the naïve and vulnerable that often exists as the flipside to glittering fame” – In Review Online Jun 17, 2023 Full Review Gloria Gaynor: I Will Survive (2023) 100% EDIT “There’s no denying that I Will Survive hits the inspirational beats one would expect for this sort of story, but they are no less effective or moving for their familiarity. ” – In Review Online Jun 17, 2023 Full Review Beba (2021) 83% EDIT “[Beba is] boldly confrontational yet mesmerizingly contemplative tone [Rebeca Huntt] strikes in her piece, creating an entrancing spell with her words and images.” – In Review Online Jun 20, 2022 Full Review Lynch/Oz (2022) 84% EDIT “While much of this material is often quite compelling ... this documentary suffers from a lack of focus and palpable overreach.” – In Review Online Jun 13, 2022 Full Review Dionne Warwick: Don't Make Me Over (2021) 91% EDIT “Heilbroner and Wooley ... don't even attempt to make a visually or formally interesting film. This is about as standard as doc packages get.” – In Review Online Nov 19, 2021 Full Review King Richard (2021) 90% EDIT “Even though King Richard hits all the beats one would expect from this type of inspirational sports story ... none of this feels like cliché.” – In Review Online Nov 16, 2021 Full Review Chameleon Street (1989) 100% EDIT “Harris' complex and mesmerizing work achieves its effects through intricately executed metafictional layers.” – In Review Online Oct 14, 2021 Full Review It's Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong (2015) 74% EDIT “Jamie Chung and Bryan Greenberg ably rise to the occasion and prove to be quite compelling performers. The fact that their natural chemistry is enhanced by the fact of their being a real-life item is just the icing on the cake.” – ScreenAnarchy Sep 27, 2021 Full Review Keep an Eye Out (2018) 86% EDIT “[Keep an Eye Out is] a pleasantly diverting romp, deriving considerable comic mileage from its burlesque of cop movie conventions.” – In Review Online Sep 27, 2021 Full Review Go Back to China (2019) 83% EDIT “An endearing, brightly colored, and deceptively light film that turns sour racist lemons into sweet cinematic lemonade.” – ScreenAnarchy Sep 26, 2021 Full Review Sorry We Missed You (2019) 88% EDIT “The film goes about its indictments through the close observation of a single family being undone by these nefarious practices.” – In Review Online Sep 26, 2021 Full Review Les misérables (2019) 88% EDIT “Though Les Misérables is clearly drawn from outrage, Ly's shallow characterizations dampen his film's sense of incendiary anger.” – In Review Online Sep 26, 2021 Full Review Samurai Marathon 1855 (2019) 70% EDIT “Once the pace slows down a bit...Samurai Marathon settles into an entertaining pastiche, honorably respecting its cinematic forbears.” – In Review Online Sep 26, 2021 Full Review Stray (2021) 96% EDIT “Stray, to its credit, excels at studying both dog and human with equal delicacy and compassion.” – In Review Online Sep 26, 2021 Full Review I WeirDO (2020) 100% EDIT “a film far richer than its initial eccentricities suggest: a haunting and melancholy experience ... and further vitalized by a unique relation to its time of arrival.” – In Review Online Sep 26, 2021 Full Review David Byrne's American Utopia (2020) 97% EDIT “One of the most transcendent experiences to be found on any size of screen this year.” – In Review Online Sep 26, 2021 Full Review MLK/FBI (2020) 98% EDIT “MLK/FBI leads us to question whether the governmental overreach it depicts is as safely in the past as some would have us believe.” – In Review Online Sep 26, 2021 Full Review The Columnist (2020) 79% EDIT “[The Columnist] is careful to tread the line between broadly satirical and a more sobering tone.” – In Review Online Sep 26, 2021 Full Review Life: Untitled (2019) 60% EDIT “A grating, cacophonous experience, [and] an aesthetic miscalculation and bid toward histrionics that unfortunately drowns out whatever points Yamada is attempting to make.” – In Review Online Sep 26, 2021 Full Review It Feels So Good (2020) EDIT “It Feels So Good ... struggles to overcome a few severe miscalculations. There is an almost total absence of dramatic tension.” – In Review Online Sep 26, 2021 Full Review Come and Go (2020) EDIT “The title perfectly encapsulates the drifting, transient nature of the characters and their interactions, and Lim sensitively portrays their longing for more solidly stable existences” – In Review Online Sep 26, 2021 Full Review Gull (2020) 100% EDIT “Gull may be a slight 75 minutes in length, but it packs quite a powerful punch across this brief runtime.” – In Review Online Sep 26, 2021 Full Review Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) (2021) 99% EDIT “[A] powerful film, one defined both by its outrage and its joy.” – In Review Online Sep 26, 2021 Full Review Tina (2021) 92% EDIT “What Tina understands and communicates is that if anyone richly deserves to ride off into the sunset in peace and contentment, it's the great Tina Turner.” – In Review Online Sep 26, 2021 Full Review
