Refugee (2018) 8/10 EDIT “...this is a credible account of the plight of asylum seekers that ought to open our eyes to the suffering of innocent victims of a brutal war and lend our support to help them.” – Film Threat Apr 28, 2020 Full Review Spiral Farm (2019) 100% 8/10 EDIT “This isn't a takedown of communes or alternative lifestyles, but a character study of a handful of people who've gravitated toward that kind of living arrangement or were born into it.” – Film Threat Dec 31, 2019 Full Review Botero (2018) 75% 8/10 EDIT “... an enjoyable experience that presents an appealing overview of the artist's life and works and will no doubt please his many fans.” – Film Threat Jun 24, 2019 Full Review 9/10 EDIT “Clearly, we live in odd and slightly terrifying times, and perhaps David Cross is just odd enough to help us make sense of it all.” – Film Threat May 31, 2019 Full Review Barbara Rubin and the Exploding NY Underground (2018) 100% 7/10 EDIT “Perhaps one day film will indeed change the world for the better, but for now, all we can do is watch and experience what's left of the experimental media of that time and wistfully remind ourselves of what we missed.” – Film Threat May 24, 2019 Full Review Belmonte (2018) 87% 8/10 EDIT “For a drama with a few humorous touches, it's a wispy story that almost isn't there. But rest assured that It will wash over you rather than deliver a gut punch, and sometimes that's just the level of emotional intensity we seek.” – Film Threat Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Skid Row Marathon (2017) 100% 9/10 EDIT “Skid Row Marathon is an uplifting experience that doesn't allow sport and competition to overshadow the stories of the runners' lives.” – Film Threat Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Show Me the Picture: The Story of Jim Marshall (2019) 91% 9/10 EDIT “Show Me the Picture [is] a must-see for music fans and anyone else who wants to bask in the glow of a terrific photographer and an unforgettable era for pop music.” – Film Threat Mar 13, 2019 Full Review Nothing Happens (2017) 6/10 EDIT “Can all of this be tied together into something that makes sense? For the most part it does. Nothing Really Happens finally coheres into a story - if you stay with it.” – Film Threat Mar 12, 2019 Full Review The Last Resort (2018) 92% 9/10 EDIT “...the story of two friends who set out to document a slice of history.” – Film Threat Feb 26, 2019 Full Review Hunter (2019) 6/10 EDIT “For the most part, Hunter hits the marks that it needs to hit, and it keeps us watching, even if it's light on delivering surprising plot twists.” – Film Threat Feb 4, 2019 Full Review Conny Plank: The Potential of Noise (2017) 7/10 EDIT “Perhaps the best way to understand another artist is to paint your own a portrait of him or her. Here, that seems to have worked well.” – Film Threat Jan 2, 2019 Full Review A Bread Factory, Part One: For the Sake of Gold (2018) 100% 10/10 EDIT “The feeling of loss is palpable and, and this wonderful film should serve as a reminder to appreciate the truly irreplaceable assets we have.” – Film Threat Dec 20, 2018 Full Review Filmworker (2017) 96% 9/10 EDIT “Vitali's story, wrapped in fascinating details about what it was like backstage in Kubrick productions, is a must-see for fans of the great director and anyone else enchanted with the inner workings of the film industry.” – Film Threat Dec 12, 2018 Full Review Somm 3 (2018) 9/10 EDIT “Somm 3 is an absorbing 90 minutes that will likely whet your appetite for a glass of burgundy, and if nothing else, you'll get a few tips on wines to check out.” – Film Threat Dec 4, 2018 Full Review Mail Order Monster (2018) 100% 8/10 EDIT “It's a story that kids will probably enjoy a lot, and parents can watch with pleasure alongside their young ones. Not a bad way to spend a rainy afternoon.” – Film Threat Nov 5, 2018 Full Review Glass Jaw (2018) 4/10 EDIT “Glass Jaw consistently spells itself out in no uncertain terms, often with dialog that's too on-the-nose to be true.” – Film Threat Oct 26, 2018 Full Review Peppermint Soda (1979) 91% 9/10 EDIT “This is a charming film that makes its impact not with contrived plot points designed to trigger cheap emotional responses, but with disarmingly honest portrayals...” – Film Threat Oct 17, 2018 Full Review Diamonds to Dust (2014) 5/10 EDIT “The acting is spotty and stiff, the production values are strictly low rent. Hailey Heisick's Jayne is passable in a role that requires little depth. Trash culture addicts may get a charge out of Diamonds to Dust.” – Film Threat Oct 17, 2018 Full Review In Transit (2018) 4/10 EDIT “In Transit makes use of a minimalist setup, and it's an extremely ambitious undertaking. But what it adds up to is around 73 minutes of two people speaking to each other, with the barest possible set, and only a handful of cutaways to help illustrate...” – Film Threat Oct 8, 2018 Full Review Chasing the Blues (2017) 92% 6/10 EDIT “Had it dug a bit deeper, it might have been something more than the overall pleasant entertainment vehicle that it is.” – Film Threat Oct 5, 2018 Full Review Dead Envy (2018) 5/10 EDIT “Dead Envy seldom rises above its stock story plots and underdeveloped characters.” – Film Threat Sep 4, 2018 Full Review Silencer (2018) 2/10 EDIT “When a movie merely tries to push the audience's emotional buttons the result is bound to be less than memorable. It's a mechanical approach to movie making.” – Film Threat Sep 4, 2018 Full Review Rebels of the Neon God (1993) 100% 9/10 EDIT “Although the characters speak sparingly, especially the taciturn Hsiao-Kang, we come away understanding their world a little better. The conflicts that they encounter along the way are by no means resolved, but the ending is satisfying just the same.” – Film Threat Aug 23, 2018 Full Review The US Generation: The 1982 Us Festival (2017) 4/10 EDIT “The film seems, at its heart, a promotional vehicle for a rich man rather than what it should be, a concert film that shows us more of the music and less yakking.” – Film Threat Aug 23, 2018 Full Review
