The film is so wise and tender and emotionally touching that even when the story ended, I wanted more. There are no missteps here.

“Tár”
No film has ever felt as demanding of its audience than this intense, complex psychological study of a brilliant artist’s total downfall.
“Empire of Light”
The story is unfocused and tries to tackle too many topics, which dilutes the film and causes all of it to feel manipulative and forced.
“Pearl”
A candy-colored, nightmarish dream world of lofty ambitions, brutal violence, and bloody murder creates a horror movie that’s unlike any other.
“Decision to Leave”
Complex storytelling and stunning visuals elevate this haunting noir tale of obsession, desire, and murder.
“The Inspection”
A highly personal film about a gay man’s experience in the Marines, most of the true story is compelling, but the narrative is overly simple and riddled with clichés.
