This slow and heavy film is exhausting, weighed down by glacial pacing and uneven performances.

“Hanging by a Wire”
An edge-of-your-seat true rescue story with with a razor-edged social sting.
“Run Amok”
A bold and uncomfortable exploration of unresolved grief that doesn’t quite know how far it wants to go.
“Seized”
A well made and deeply reported First Amendment documentary that’s smart enough to trust its audience.
“The Best Summer”
A music documentary needs more than access and vibes, and this one never finds anything deeper to say.
“Zi”
This is exactly the kind of film most viewers will fairly dismiss as being too artsy and vague. It’ll test your patience long before the halfway mark.
