“A Good Little Soldier”
Bleak, biting, and darkly funny, the film turns workplace cynicism into an all-too-familiar joke, as those trying to humanize work may be trapped in the very machine they’re meant to fix.
“The Oldest Person in the World”
A decent (and occasionally beautiful) film that would have benefited from trusting its elderly subjects a little more.
“The Sun Never Sets”
Swanberg shows growth as a filmmaker, but his loose approach leaves the film feeling overlong and cluttered with meandering scenes that weaken its emotional impact.
“Franz”
An ambitious and fascinating biopic that’s sometimes a little too clever for its own good.
“Summer 2000: The X-Cetra Story”
A charming and surprisingly funny look at friendship, creativity, and the weird ways the internet can resurrect the past.
