Strangers to Peace (2022) 7/10 EDIT “It gives a human face to the FARC without sanitizing the guerilla movement’s past actions.” – Film Threat Feb 14, 2023 Full Review Decision to Leave (2022) 94% EDIT “Park Chan-wook is exploiting the two elements that middlebrow American audiences love—sex and plot trickery. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jan 11, 2023 Full Review The Old Town Girls (2020) 83% 7/10 EDIT “Succeeds in constructing a suspenseful drama without adding unnecessary fluff.” – Film Threat Dec 14, 2022 Full Review Dogwatch (2022) 80% EDIT “If the point of Dogwatch is to capture the boredom of the mercenaries, then mission accomplished! All this has been done before, and done better—again, Beau Travail.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Nov 21, 2022 Full Review Broker (2022) 94% 7.5/10 EDIT “Broker will have you laughing and will definitely have you crying. ” – Film Threat Nov 11, 2022 Full Review American Justice on Trial (2022) 8/10 EDIT “American Justice on Trial does offer an indictment on a country whose history is written in both ink and blood.” – Film Threat Oct 28, 2022 Full Review Razzennest (2022) 92% EDIT “Razzennest takes more risks, is more erudite, and is simply better than the majority of indie horror out there. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Oct 19, 2022 Full Review Howl of the Underdogs (2022) 5.5/10 EDIT “The film succeeds is in contextualizing the country’s culture.” – Film Threat Sep 27, 2022 Full Review My Imaginary Country (2022) 94% 9/10 EDIT “If this were simply footage of protests, it would not stand out among the many other documentaries focused on mass demonstrations...” – Film Threat Sep 23, 2022 Full Review The Cordillera of Dreams (2019) 94% EDIT “Anyone that accuses Guzmán of being rambling in Cordillera is not really paying attention to the nature of his lifelong filmmaking project. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Sep 19, 2022 Full Review Riotsville, USA (2022) 91% 9/10 EDIT “Riotsville, U.S.A. brilliantly uses the aesthetic of its archival footage to not only place us in a historical era but also to inform, to critique state power. ” – Film Threat Sep 16, 2022 Full Review The Card Counter (2020) 88% EDIT “This is a powerful film. It is mature, in control, knows what it wants to say, and says it both in terms of script and visuals. Schrader has cemented himself as one of the giants of film. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Free Chol Soo Lee (2022) 100% 8/10 EDIT “Free Chol Soo Lee reminds us that when we sit on the sideline and do not actively fight against discrimination and the stereotyping of Asians, real people, such as Chol Soo Lee, suffer.” – Film Threat Aug 15, 2022 Full Review Relative (2022) 100% EDIT “The filmmaker creates characters that admittedly have annoying eccentricities but are still likable enough that you want to spend time with them as a viewer.” – Film Threat Aug 11, 2022 Full Review A Man of Integrity (2017) 100% 6.5/10 EDIT “Seek this out as soon as possible and allow yourself to be pulled into the unceasing wonderment that is Iranian cinema.” – Film Threat Jun 14, 2022 Full Review The Story Won't Die (2021) 100% 6.5/10 EDIT “The Story Won’t Die, admittedly, follows the standard rules of documentary filmmaking. Nevertheless, the artists and that special alchemy they possess to transform pain into art make it a compelling watch.” – Film Threat Jun 8, 2022 Full Review A-ha: The Movie (2021) 81% EDIT “For those of us who know a-ha only by way of “Take on Me,” the documentary is truly revelatory. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese May 15, 2022 Full Review Adieu Lacan (2022) 5.5/10 EDIT “Credit must be given to Ledes for attempting a difficult Axel jump. Unfortunately, he does not quite nail the landing.” – Film Threat May 10, 2022 Full Review The Velvet Queen (2021) 100% EDIT “The Velvet Queen offers us a much-needed antidote to our hustle and bustle, our fractured attention span, our inability to appreciate things. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Apr 29, 2022 Full Review The Tale of King Crab (2021) 90% EDIT “I implore you to join Luciano on his journey. You will be enchanted. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Apr 16, 2022 Full Review Immersion (2021) 100% 5.5/10 EDIT “In short, if you are in the mood for an entertaining Chilean version of Polanski’s Knife in the Water, Immersion is for you.” – Film Threat Apr 15, 2022 Full Review Maixabel (2021) 100% 6/10 EDIT “Maixabel excels when delving into grand themes. The movie clearly displays the arbitrariness and absurdity of violence.” – Film Threat Apr 8, 2022 Full Review Moon, 66 Questions (2021) 97% EDIT “Director Jacqueline Lentzou brilliantly captures the often-fraught relationship between daughter and father in Moon, 66 Questions. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Young Plato (2021) 100% 7/10 EDIT “McAverey and his staff’s love for the children comes through clearly.” – Film Threat Apr 6, 2022 Full Review Petite Maman (2021) 97% EDIT “Petite Maman is absolutely worth experiencing if for the mere reasons of taking in mood and lighting.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Mar 13, 2022 Full Review
