Martin Eden (2019) 88% EDIT “The displacement is distracting rather than meaningful, the political resonance vague rather than pointed. In turn, the film's overly-academic script becomes all the more impenetrable.” – Film Inquiry Oct 23, 2019 Full Review The Girl With a Bracelet (2019) 90% EDIT “In a way, Demoustier's film is an inverse coming-of-age film, interested in how a teenage girl develops when the most important years of development are stunted. The final images are telling and tragic.” – Film Inquiry Oct 9, 2019 Full Review Jallikattu (2019) 96% EDIT “Keralan director Lijo Jose Pellissery takes to his hometown for Jalikattu, a buffalo-on-the-run bloodbath that functions as both a gentle probing of tradition and a rancorous take-down of masculinity.” – Film Inquiry Oct 5, 2019 Full Review Waiting for the Barbarians (2019) 54% EDIT “Sadly, the great expanse proves too limitless a concept for the director to compress and contain; he's taken his dusty retelling of Coetzee's novel a steppe too far.” – Film Inquiry Sep 25, 2019 Full Review Matthias & Maxime (2019) 63% EDIT “The cannonball naivety and gutsy showmanship is the director's greatest strength, but in Matthias & Maxime we see him ignore that in favour of a pseudo-nuanced liaison marred by mawkishness.” – Film Inquiry May 28, 2019 Full Review Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood (2019) 86% EDIT “This is a film that resonates in fits and starts, the eye-catching cinephilia just about excusing some questionable decision-making.” – Film Inquiry May 28, 2019 Full Review Parasite (2019) 99% EDIT “Parasite is a vital, extraordinary slice of blood-boiling entertainment, surveying human ambition to piece together exactly why a class system is failing an entire country.” – Film Inquiry May 25, 2019 Full Review Young Ahmed (2019) 58% EDIT “The Young Ahmed feels like fear-mongering, a reminder that a religion can turn dangerous with one bad egg.” – Film Inquiry May 25, 2019 Full Review Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) 97% EDIT “If Call Me By Your Name is a finished piece, Portrait of a Lady on Fire is the process behind it: the scribbled notes; the sketched outline; the first lick of paint.” – Film Inquiry May 25, 2019 Full Review The Lighthouse (2019) 90% EDIT “The Lighthouse takes on masculinity, madness and merfolk, and it's marvelous.” – Film Inquiry May 21, 2019 Full Review A Hidden Life (2019) 82% EDIT “A Hidden Life is imperfect, and doesn't plunder its premise's existential depths as much as you'd expect given the runtime. But the imagery is often fantastic, and the instances of tranquility in Radegund sobering and sorrowful.” – Film Inquiry May 21, 2019 Full Review Lux Æterna (2019) 64% EDIT “Lux Æterna gets the strange compliment of being a nigh-unwatchable film that I'd wholly recommend.” – Film Inquiry May 21, 2019 Full Review Little Joe (2019) 67% EDIT “Little Joe has no dramatic impetus whatsoever; it becomes a series of dull, repetitive moments, with a cacophonous score trying to find the pulse and a misguided take on anti-depressants flatlining it completely.” – Film Inquiry May 20, 2019 Full Review Atlantics (2019) 96% EDIT “A muddled ghost story-cum-romance that nevertheless boasts fleeting moments of powerful lyricism.” – Film Inquiry May 20, 2019 Full Review Zombi Child (2019) 85% EDIT “Zombi Child is terrific, probing problematic subject matter in a provocative, evocative, and entirely empathetic way.” – Film Inquiry May 20, 2019 Full Review For Sama (2019) 98% EDIT “For Sama has the staggering weight of a potent war epic, but without any of the artifice.” – Film Inquiry May 20, 2019 Full Review Bacurau (2019) 93% EDIT “Bacurau is a gutsy, audacious quasi-western that shares the same defiant tone but replaces council spats with blood splats.” – Film Inquiry May 20, 2019 Full Review A Brother's Love (2019) 75% EDIT “You're left wondering why the camera couldn't keep still for one moment, relax, and give time for A Brother's Love medley of messages to linger.” – Film Inquiry May 19, 2019 Full Review The Dead Don't Die (2019) 55% EDIT “Jarmusch has brought the B-movie zombie flick back from the dead: this is a disarmingly intelligent riff on politics, parodies, and the futility of it all.” – Film Inquiry May 19, 2019 Full Review Sunset (2018) 61% EDIT “László Nemes' follow-up to his acclaimed debut, Son of Saul, is the best film of the year so far. It may very well end up staying that way.” – Film Inquiry Apr 11, 2019 Full Review Mug (2018) 76% 3/5 EDIT “National disdain has clouded judgement, and so both director and community have let their constructions get out of hand.” – Little White Lies Dec 6, 2018 Full Review Outlaw King (2018) 63% 1/5 EDIT “About as interesting as its lead. Which is to say, not at all.” – Little White Lies Nov 8, 2018 Full Review Stan & Ollie (2018) 92% EDIT “Stan & Ollie is a joyous ode to an iconic duo's final few years, that portrays its subjects with the love and attention its audience craves.” – Film Inquiry Nov 5, 2018 Full Review The Guilty (2018) 98% 4/5 EDIT “Make the right call and watch this immediately.” – Little White Lies Oct 26, 2018 Full Review In Fabric (2018) 92% EDIT “It leaves style as the only sustenance. In Fabric has bags of it, but it's hardly meaningful when there's little in the way of thematic juiciness.” – Film Inquiry Oct 23, 2018 Full Review
