Chicken with Plums

“The kind of French fairy-tale that contains a nice combination of sweetness and sadness.”

Pitch Perfect

“Pays more attention to the cattier aspects of the story in lieu of what should be most important: the music.”

The Master

“Phoenix’s take on the animalistic nature of man makes the film such a devastating one to shake.”

Arbitrage

“Interesting enough to hold one’s attention, but there’s nothing truly memorable or noteworthy.”

Wild Horse, Wild Ride

“As a 106-minute feature doc, it spreads the narrative too thin and becomes repetitious.”

Celeste and Jesse Forever

“Script takes some unique angles and allows the nerdy chemistry between its leads to play out naturally.”

Premium Rush

“Rides hard, but without much direction. The whole thing plays out like a caffeinated cartoon.”

Killer Joe

“The film’s venom is extremely palpable, which makes it all the more disturbing to watch.”

The Imposter

“Unsettling…one gut-wrenching, suspenseful, and often bizarre crime docudrama.”

Ruby Sparks

“A clever little idea that never materializes into anything as interesting as its initial concept.”

Neil Young Journeys

“Enjoyable…the doc will make you believe music can still be an intimate experience.”

Where Do We Go Now?

“Director Nadine Labaki creates a genre mash-up that hardly gets to the heart of the matter.”
