Pre-2023 Film Reviews
Blood Diamond (2006)
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Blood Diamond did a serviceable job, but it is far too long to reach the levels it aspired to.
The Chambermaid (2022)
Sebastian Zavala @ Ventana Indiscreta [Spanish]
- Excerpt: The film improves as it progresses and credibly links the sociopolitical context of the story with the concerns of its protagonists, also credibly depicting Prague at the beginning of the last century.
The Daytrippers (1996)
- Excerpt: …a pleasant little film, nicely put together on a low budget, and holds the honor of winning the Grand Jury Prize in the very first year the Slamdance Film Festival was held.
A History of Violence (2005)
Sebastian Zavala @ Loud and Clear Reviews [Spanish]
- Excerpt: David Cronenberg’s A History of Violence is a bloody meditation on the nature of violence and the purpose of the human body.
Illusion Travels by Streetcar (1954)
Marilyn Ferdinand @ Wonders in the Dark
- Excerpt: The surrealist, iconoclastic, political touches that mark it as a Buñuel film mixed with a cross-section of urban Mexican life make Illusion Travels by Streetcar an enriching viewing experience.
Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck (2015)
Chris Barsanti @ Eyes Wide Open
- Excerpt: This gutting and deeply personal portrait tells Kurt Cobain’s story largely through his own words.
A Matter of Life and Death (1946)
Merry-Go-Round, The King of Kings (1923, 1927)
