Here are our latest reviews of films on DVD.
Pre-2016 Film Reviews
Appropriate Behavior
Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
- Excerpt: You shouldn’t be surprised by how much heartache is present considering the subject matter lets it exist behind every scene, but it will surprise simply because we so rarely receive it in this genre.
Birdboy: The Forgotten Children
Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
- Excerpt: Birdboy’ is the story of cute, drug-addicted baby animals stranded on a dystopian, post-apocalyptic island… But for all of its sarcastic nihilism, it’s not a black comedy, but an empathetic fable and an immersive spectacle, told through beautiful and often psychedelic animation.
Capturing the Friedmans
Federico Furzan @ Cinelipsis [Spanish]
Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father
Federico Furzan @ Cinelipsis [Spanish]
Green Room
Federico Furzan @ Cinelipsis [Spanish]
Joaquim Pedro de Andrade: The Complete Films
Peter Nellhaus @ Coffee, Coffee and more Coffee
- Excerpt: Unlike the French New Wave, where we had some idea of what the rebellion was all about, Cinema Novo was both a rebellion in terms of filmmaking and of taking a political stance.
Macbeth
Federico Furzan @ Cinelipsis [Spanish]
Miller’s Crossing
Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
- Excerpt: We love these characters because they’re flawed and thus allow the Coens to let the story dictate their ends. It’s not a matter of who should die in any given situation because letting the person who would die is far better.
Stoker
Federico Furzan @ Cinelipsis [Spanish]
