Carmen (2022) 62% EDIT “Carmen fails to coalesce because the filmmakers chose style over substance.” – Nashville Scene Jun 2, 2023 Full Review Broker (2022) 94% EDIT “Kore-eda is a wonderful storyteller, and you’d be hard-pressed not to grow fond of these characters.” – Nashville Scene Feb 21, 2023 Full Review Turn Every Page: The Adventures of Robert Caro and Robert Gottlieb (2022) 96% EDIT “We come to understand each man through the other’s point of view; in doing so, we also understand the relationship between editor and writer. ” – Nashville Scene Feb 21, 2023 Full Review Happening (2021) 99% EDIT “Still, Happening deserves to be assessed on its own merits, rather than how it lands in proximity to U.S. politics.” – Nashville Scene May 18, 2022 Full Review Petite Maman (2021) 97% EDIT “Petite Maman is a story about a girl and her mother, but it is also a story about me and my mother. And you might find yourself in it too.” – Nashville Scene May 9, 2022 Full Review The French Dispatch (2021) 75% EDIT “Anderson is capable of creating a world that is both in love with itself and about much more than itself. There's plenty to enjoy in The French Dispatch - but if you're looking for catharsis, you may find yourself out of luck.” – Nashville Scene Oct 28, 2021 Full Review Widows (2018) 91% EDIT “The twisty-turny plot gets a little in the weeds, but the performances, including assists from Daniel Kaluuya and ​​Brian Tyree Henry, see it through with flying colors.” – Nashville Scene Sep 13, 2021 Full Review Hustlers (2019) 88% EDIT “There's only one bad thing about Hustlers: It will ruin damn near every other film about strippers you've ever seen. But it's worth it.” – Nashville Scene Sep 13, 2021 Full Review Godzilla vs. Hedorah (1971) 71% EDIT “This psychotronic freak-out is one of the best (and oddly least successful) offerings in the Godzilla series.” – Nashville Scene Sep 10, 2021 Full Review The Velvet Vampire (1971) 71% EDIT “You will want to see more Stephanie Rothman films, and you absolutely should.” – Nashville Scene Sep 10, 2021 Full Review Swan Song (2021) 92% EDIT “Swan Song, directed by Todd Stephens, feels like the natural culmination of Udo Kier's 55-year career - a role the singular performer was destined for.” – Nashville Scene Sep 8, 2021 Full Review Gunda (2020) 98% EDIT “If Kossakovsky truly did not set out to humanize Gunda, he has failed in that regard. The magic of Gunda lies in his ability to adjust our eyes.” – Nashville Scene May 21, 2021 Full Review Come Play (2020) 57% EDIT “Anyway, Come Play is so much weirder than you might expect, and it does phone-based horror in a new and intriguing way.” – Nashville Scene Jan 22, 2021 Full Review Miss Juneteenth (2020) 99% EDIT “Miss Juneteenth is a film of small moments that tackle weighty concepts. It avoids big proclamations, opting instead for subtle emotional notes that ring true.” – Nashville Scene Jun 30, 2020 Full Review Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020) 99% EDIT “Never Rarely Sometimes Always is a work of art that's powerful enough to save lives.” – Nashville Scene Apr 10, 2020 Full Review What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael (2018) 88% EDIT “What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael attempts to shine a light on an extremely influential American film critic who withstood as many slings and arrows as she flung.” – Nashville Scene Feb 22, 2020 Full Review Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) 97% EDIT “... a revelatory testament of queer desire and resilience.” – Nashville Scene Feb 22, 2020 Full Review Little Women (2019) 95% EDIT “Art confers meaning, and meaning creates empathy and kinship. When women are reflected in cinema, we all benefit. Little Women is a masterpiece of filmmaking that we will watch for generations.” – Nashville Scene Dec 23, 2019 Full Review Bombshell (2019) 67% EDIT “Is Bombshell the #MeToo depiction we've been waiting for? Probably not. But it's still a hell of a ride.” – Nashville Scene Dec 19, 2019 Full Review Queen & Slim (2019) 82% EDIT “I wouldn't call the film tedious - Matsoukas' aesthetic choices are too sharp for that - but on the whole, Queen & Slim has more style than substance.” – Nashville Scene Dec 10, 2019 Full Review Knives Out (2019) 97% EDIT “Rian Johnson's Knives Out is an ingenious whodunit that lets us laugh at rich assholes - in this case, those of House Thrombey - and root for a protagonist who is authentically delightful.” – Nashville Scene Nov 27, 2019 Full Review Clementine (2019) 62% EDIT “Clementine is a portrait of the often-shifting relationship between female friends that is so rarely conveyed honestly in film.” – Nashville Scene Oct 10, 2019 Full Review De lo mio (2019) 89% EDIT “The setup is ripe for conflict, but Peralta's script is restrained, and what is not said among the siblings amps up the tension in this beautifully shot film.” – Nashville Scene Oct 10, 2019 Full Review Greener Grass (2019) 83% EDIT “... somehow, this bizarre reflection of suburban married life just works.” – Nashville Scene Oct 10, 2019 Full Review The Chambermaid (2018) 99% EDIT “Avilés brings us startlingly close to that mundanity, and we walk away from the film with a greater knowledge of how our desires make us human, just as much as our struggles.” – Nashville Scene Jul 26, 2019 Full Review
