-
Portrait of a Serial Monogamist
Good intentions aren't enough to overcome a clumsy execution in this light-hearted indie comedy.
-
Operation Avalanche (Sundance Review)
A captivating film about faking the Apollo 11 mission filled with innovative tricks and provocative ideas.
-
Racing Extinction
Succeeds on getting its message across with breathtaking visuals, but too many threads on a broad topic cools its effectiveness.
-
Hitchcock/Truffaut
The film isn't nearly as essential as its source material, but it serves as a nice starting point for unfamiliar viewers.
-
Manson Family Vacation
Despite a few missteps along the way, Manson Family Vacation's fast pace keeps things moving towards its satisfying conclusion.
-
Ashby
Not as funny as it wants to be nor dramatic enough when it needs to be.
-
Party Girl
With the lead cast as herself, this film is too personal to be engaging.
-
6 Years
Distances itself from other flawed relationship narratives with excellent acting and a subversion of gender roles.
-
Fort Tilden
Fort Tilden is a bumpy ride at times, but it remains a charming expedition.
-
Ardor
'Ardor' is an eco-friendly jungle western with a tedious narrative, predictable outcomes, confusing allusions, and an underwhelming conclusion.
