The level of artistry is masterful, but the storytelling is frustrating, confusing, and lacks structure.

“Concrete Utopia”
An entertaining post-apocalyptic disaster film that explores the class warfare and unchecked tribalism that’s rotting the heart of modern society.
“Anatomy of a Fall”
Sophisticated and complex, this character study of a woman accused of murder is one of the more challenging and ambitious films of the year.
“The Promised Land”
A brutal, bloody, and complex story of savagery and ambition, this epic Danish historical drama is styled like an old fashioned American Western.
“The Critic”
The film is slowed down by a darker, more lurid focus to its storytelling rather than one with any sort of sophisticated narrative or character development.
“100 Yards”
A dull and sorely boring martial arts movie with a lackluster story and disappointing lack of adventure.
