Bubble & Squeak
Chris Barsanti @ Slant Magazine
- Excerpt: If all that it had going for it was its gonzo concept, the film would be a pretty dire affair.
Flight Risk
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: “Flight Risk” is not the best film that madman Gibson has ever made, but it is an absurdly entertaining experience, full of moments of tension and delightfully exaggerated performances.
Kinda Pregnant
Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: We are forced to bear witness to scene after scene of ridiculous comedy, where we can see the punchlines coming from a mile away and whose plot is so generic we start to forget about it even while watching it.
Kiss of the Spider Woman
Chris Barsanti @ Slant Magazine
- Excerpt: The musical is lesser Kander and Ebb, but it still contains a critique that’s barely visible here.
Last Days
Chris Barsanti @ Slant Magazine
- Excerpt: The film scatters itself across multiple plot angles that confuse more than clarify.
No Other Land
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Any lack of polish in the filmmaking is counteracted by the dangerous conditions the filmmakers faced in achieving it, evinced by not one but two instances of Israelis shooting peaceful and unarmed Palestinians in their presence.
Peter Hujar’s Day
Chris Barsanti @ Slant Magazine
- Excerpt: Sach’s film attests Hujar’s devotion to exploring the relationship between high and low culture.
Sly Lives!
Chris Barsanti @ Slant Magazine
- Excerpt: The film has more on its mind than charting the rise and fall of another troubled icon.
A Woman Is a Woman
- Excerpt: Not a musical itself so much as a stylish and energetic homage to the genre, A Woman is a Woman introduced the world to the actress who would come to embody the Godardian woman: a Danish-born model called Anna Karina. Now available in a new 4K restoration produced from the original 35mm negative and sound negative, A Woman is a Woman has never looked or sounded better—but Karina’s effervescent charm remains the film’s most valuable asset and the main reason it deserves to be revisited.
You’re Cordially Invited
Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: This is a case of a movie catching me at the exact right place and time. What can I say? I had fun with this one.
