RBG (2018) 93% 8/10 EDIT “Deferential as it is fascinating, RBG is a fantastic, moving homage to its much-deserving subject.” – Under the Radar Jul 2, 2018 Full Review For Ahkeem (2017) 96% 8/10 EDIT “For Ahkeem is an essential insight into marginalized America.” – Under the Radar Dec 15, 2017 Full Review Love and Saucers (2017) 91% 6.5/10 EDIT “It would have been so easy for Brad Abrahams to treat his subject as a fanciful, delusional man (or worse, as a joke), but Love and Saucers remains laudably deferential to David Huggins.” – Under the Radar Dec 13, 2017 Full Review Man in Red Bandana (2017) 63% 6/10 EDIT “Despite some cinematic shortcomings, Man in Red Bandana is a moving and inspiring tribute to an American hero.” – Under the Radar Oct 18, 2017 Full Review Una (2016) 76% 5.5/10 EDIT “Writer David Harrower and director Benedict Andrews treat the material as circumspectly as possible, but their approach doesn't prevent the film from losing a tremendous amount of steam after its first act.” – Under the Radar Oct 11, 2017 Full Review 6 Days (2017) 65% 6/10 EDIT “The most interesting element of 6 Days is the historical near-week it's based on.” – Under the Radar Aug 25, 2017 Full Review The Last Face (2016) 8% 2.5/10 EDIT “A proselytizing, pretentious bore.” – Under the Radar Aug 25, 2017 Full Review Some Freaks (2016) 91% 6.5/10 EDIT “McDonald's point, that we're all freaks, or none of us are, doesn't deliver complete satisfaction, but it's a nuanced and pointed statement that lingers long after the end credits stop rolling.” – Under the Radar Aug 3, 2017 Full Review The Commune (2016) 71% 5.5/10 EDIT “At its worst, The Commune is a severely missed opportunity to explore life in the titular social setting.” – Under the Radar May 20, 2017 Full Review The Wizard of Lies (2017) 73% 7.5/10 EDIT “Barry Levinson's The Wizard of Lies is a fascinating, and in many ways horrifying glimpse into one of the most notorious thieves in American history.” – Under the Radar May 19, 2017 Full Review I Am Not Your Negro (2016) 99% 8.5/10 EDIT “A documentary like [this] only comes around once in a blue moon, and for it to have cycled now, when tensions in America are rising at exponential rates, makes it absolutely essential viewing for every citizen of this nation.” – Under the Radar Feb 28, 2017 Full Review Trespass Against Us (2016) 56% 6/10 EDIT “Adam Smith's debut feature film ... is a nuanced character study set on the wrong side of the tracks.” – Under the Radar Feb 28, 2017 Full Review The Book of Love (2016) 8% 1.5/10 EDIT “The Book of Love, much like Henry and the girl's raft, is guaranteed to sink as soon as it sets sail.” – Under the Radar Jan 13, 2017 Full Review Abattoir (2016) 37% 4.5/10 EDIT “Abattoir has some interesting, albeit perhaps unwieldy ideas that never quite congeal into a gripping screamer.” – Under the Radar Dec 16, 2016 Full Review Sugar Mountain (2016) 36% 6.5/10 EDIT “Sugar Mountain isn't flawless ... but, if you're willing to go along for the ride, it's an unexpectedly entertaining, gratifying 106-minute adventure.” – Under the Radar Dec 16, 2016 Full Review Lion (2016) 84% 9/10 EDIT “Immensely powerful, inspiring, and impossible to forget.” – Under the Radar Dec 16, 2016 Full Review Blue Jay (2016) 91% 7/10 EDIT “Mark Duplass and Sarah Paulson share a palpable chemistry as the former paramours. Their way is natural, grounded, and unflinchingly human.” – Under the Radar Oct 19, 2016 Full Review Beyond Glory (2015) 6/10 EDIT “Beyond Glory finds Lang at the top of his game.” – Under the Radar Oct 19, 2016 Full Review Cardboard Boxer (2016) 38% 5.5/10 EDIT “Disparate elements aren't enough to render Cardboard Boxer two films in one, but one film with a decisive and deep schism within.” – Under the Radar Sep 29, 2016 Full Review London Road (2015) 76% 5.5/10 EDIT “Rarely does a town unite to tell its story in such circumstances, so it's a shame London Road fails to delve as deeply as it surely could have.” – Under the Radar Sep 29, 2016 Full Review I Am Not a Serial Killer (2016) 93% 6/10 EDIT “I Am Not a Serial Killer shines in its exploration of what it is like to live with inclinations you wish you didn't have but find it increasingly hard to fight.” – Under the Radar Aug 29, 2016 Full Review Disorder (2015) 73% 6/10 EDIT “Disorder is undoubtedly marked by on-screen talent and noble off-screen efforts, but its lagging pace and major tonal shifts keep it from being a great film.” – Under the Radar Aug 15, 2016 Full Review Tallulah (2016) 85% 7/10 EDIT “Ellen Page is one of the most inherently likable actors of her generation, and her amiability is on full display in Tallulah.” – Under the Radar Aug 15, 2016 Full Review Raiders (2016) 22% 4/10 EDIT “There is just too much -- too many characters, conniving, and convolution -- to keep track of, and in the end, so little of it really seems to matter.” – Under the Radar Aug 1, 2016 Full Review Men Go to Battle (2015) 69% 5.5/10 EDIT “America was very different 150 years ago than it is now, and the filmmakers capture that well. They just do not do it under the microscope of the Civil War anywhere near as thoroughly as they had the opportunity or the foundation to.” – Under the Radar Jul 8, 2016 Full Review
