What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? (2021) 90% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film is an offbeat epic informed by a reverence for the past and a delicate wariness toward the future.” – Slant Magazine Sep 18, 2021 Full Review Întregalde (2021) 88% EDIT “Întregalde is a sharply drawn and subtle fable about the meaning of charity and the limits of altruism.” – Slant Magazine Sep 9, 2021 Full Review Undine (2020) 89% 3/4 EDIT “The film questions the fixed nature of human behavior in a world whose borders are constantly shifting.” – Slant Magazine Mar 1, 2020 Full Review In the Aisles (2018) 89% 2/4 EDIT “In the Aisles scrutinizes work friendships with a keen sense of how they evolve from clipped, polite niceties to inside jokes and private confidences.” – Slant Magazine Dec 3, 2019 Full Review The Hottest August (2019) 84% 3/4 EDIT “The documentary represents a city ground down by inequality and division, where millions of selves who have by and large given up on one another.” – Slant Magazine Nov 10, 2019 Full Review The Kingmaker (2019) 97% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film confirms that the ruthless knack of the wealthy and powerful to remain so is a universal impulse.” – Slant Magazine Nov 3, 2019 Full Review Monos (2019) 93% 2/4 EDIT “Alejandro Landes's film depicts amorality with minimal curiosity and a surplus of numbing stylistic verve.” – Slant Magazine Sep 9, 2019 Full Review Atlantics (2019) 96% 4/4 EDIT “As Mati Diop mourns Senegal's lost men, she honors their grief and affords them tremendous power all at once.” – Slant Magazine Sep 5, 2019 Full Review Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) 97% 2.5/4 EDIT “What's most stirring about Céline Sciamma's film is the lack of artifice in Héloïse and Marianne's feelings for one another.” – Slant Magazine Sep 5, 2019 Full Review Angels Are Made of Light (2018) 100% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film is an intimate portrait of a nation terminally anxious about who will see fit to rule it next.” – Slant Magazine Jul 21, 2019 Full Review Mike Wallace Is Here (2019) 95% 3/4 EDIT “Much like its subject, Avi Belkin's documentary knows how to start an argument.” – Slant Magazine Jul 21, 2019 Full Review Our Time (2018) 62% 3/4 EDIT “The film elides politics in order to earnestly consider whether love is necessarily an act of possession.” – Slant Magazine Jun 10, 2019 Full Review The Raft (2018) 90% 3/4 EDIT “The film uses Santiago Genovés's experiment to scrutinize memory and capture the feeling of life under a very curious sort of dictatorship.” – Slant Magazine Jun 1, 2019 Full Review Under the Silver Lake (2018) 58% 2/4 EDIT “Even after the film (quite entertainingly) explains itself, it never feels like more than a howl of frustration and cynicism.” – Slant Magazine Apr 18, 2019 Full Review Hail Satan? (2019) 96% 2.5/4 EDIT “The documentary shrewdly illustrates how media savvy can turn a fledgling protest into an international cause célèbre.” – Slant Magazine Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Combat Obscura (2018) 100% 2.5 EDIT “The portrait it paints of its Marines is appropriately discordant, redolent of the twitchy frustration caused by a long stint in a sparse landscape with a hazy mission.” – Slant Magazine Mar 11, 2019 Full Review An Elephant Sitting Still (2018) 94% 3/4 EDIT “The film's gritty, mundane agonies come to feel like a series of moral tests with genuinely unpredictable outcomes.” – Slant Magazine Mar 3, 2019 Full Review Shirkers (2018) 99% 3.5/4 EDIT “Sandi Tan's view of what the original Shirkers represented, and what her new film should be, proves surprisingly expansive.” – Slant Magazine Oct 21, 2018 Full Review Maya (2018) 70% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film's intimacy is as precise as its intellect is vague.” – Slant Magazine Sep 11, 2018 Full Review Lean on Pete (2017) 90% 2.5/4 EDIT “As sharply as it delineates an America of spotty, informal economies, the film avoids articulating most of the people who live and work in these spaces.” – Slant Magazine Apr 1, 2018 Full Review Hale County This Morning, This Evening (2018) 97% 3/4 EDIT “One of the remarkable things about the film's offhand sense of intimacy is that it emerges from such a diverse shooting style.” – Slant Magazine Mar 27, 2018 Full Review The Workshop (2017) 89% 2.5/4 EDIT “Matthieu Lucci deftly carries the weight of all the symptoms that The Workshop loads upon Antoine, a resonant character whose inscrutability is at once dangerous, sympathetic, and eerily apt.” – Slant Magazine Mar 17, 2018 Full Review Fifty Shades Freed (2018) 11% 2.5/4 EDIT “The most liberating thing about James Foley's Fifty Shades Freed is that it doesn't even try to make sense of Christian Grey.” – Slant Magazine Feb 8, 2018 Full Review A Fantastic Woman (2017) 94% 2/4 EDIT “Superficial when it means to be elliptical and regressive in its attempts to promote pride and tolerance, Sebastián Lelio's film is beautiful but vacant, the type of melodrama that reminds us that they shouldn't always make them like they used to.” – Slant Magazine Jan 28, 2018 Full Review The Post (2017) 88% 2.5/4 EDIT “No American film since Zodiac has exhibited such a love for the way information travels than The Post, but it's nonetheless steeped in self-congratulation.” – Slant Magazine Dec 6, 2017 Full Review
