Michael Jackson's Journey from Motown to Off the Wall60
Jun 22, 2020
It’s a brazen celebration of Jackson, which unlike Lee’s other documentary work doesn’t look under the hood to tell the whole story and examine some of the more uncomfortable inner workings.

All These Sleepless Nights80
Apr 6, 2017
It’d be easy to dismiss as jaded hipsterism but the film isn’t scared to laugh at itself and the unsustainable lifestyle its protagonists are clinging to.

Patriots Day80
Nov 18, 2016
There’s little doubt who the hero of Peter Berg’s retelling of the 2013 Boston marathon bombings is: the city itself.
Nov 12, 2016
The Comedian60
Nov 12, 2016
The storyline does get frayed towards the end...but that’s not really the point; as long as you’re here for the dick jokes.

The Eyes of My Mother20
Sep 23, 2016
Pesce asks viewers to go along with the absurdity while offering nothing to justify any of it. It’s a murder ballad gone out of tune.

Kiki80
Aug 15, 2016
It’s a kaleidoscopic and vivid rendering of a world that is larger than life, flamboyant but ultimately fragile.

Richard Linklater: Dream Is Destiny60
Jul 9, 2016
What Dream is Destiny makes clear is that commercial success really isn’t everything, and that being a director who isn’t bothered by it can lead to a singular if perhaps undervalued career.

Life, Animated100
Jun 17, 2016
It’s a beguiling mix of animated storytelling and narration that doesn’t flinch from exploring the emotional highs and lows that accompany a life with autism.
Jun 15, 2016
Raiders!: The Story of the Greatest Fan Film Ever Made80
Jun 15, 2016
The will-they-won’t-they dynamic of the film grips you and it’s almost impossible not to root for Strompolos and Zala, especially when things on set get hairy.

Brahman Naman60
Jun 9, 2016
Q’s morality tale isn’t without laughs. The quizzers are adept at alluding to and meshing together the greats of English literature with crude dick jokes.
