About Dry Grasses (2023) 92% 8/10 EDIT “However distant the memory of “About Dry Grasses” may become, the meditative thoughts it brings to the table, much like the stunning aforementioned table talk sequence between Samet and Nuray, are worth the literal and metaphorical price of admission.” – Next Best Picture Oct 1, 2023 Full Review Close (2022) 91% 7/10 EDIT “Filmed in ultra-high-definition with immense precision, "Close" further establishes Dhont and his regular cinematographer, Frank van den Eeden, as two special up-and-coming purist craftsmen.” – Next Best Picture Jun 3, 2022 Full Review Showing Up (2022) 89% 6/10 EDIT “"Showing Up" won't win Reichardt any new fans, but it could potentially offer another helping of what her supporters love so much of her work.” – Next Best Picture Jun 2, 2022 Full Review Stars at Noon (2022) 63% 4/10 EDIT “"The Stars At Noon" is a rare instance of nothing working as well as it should, especially for such a skilled and revered director as Claire Denis.” – Next Best Picture Jun 1, 2022 Full Review Titane (2021) 90% 8/10 EDIT “With her latest film, Ducournau has displayed a boldness to go where no other modern-working director would dare venture. Just make sure to watch it on an empty stomach and with an open mind.” – Next Best Picture May 31, 2022 Full Review Red Rocket (2021) 90% 7/10 EDIT “Almost as if he has lived the life of Mikey throughout stretches of his career, Rex seems to know how to play this type of sleazy charmer instinctively with pleasure, charisma and manic energy.” – Next Best Picture May 31, 2022 Full Review Paris, 13th District (2021) 83% 7/10 EDIT “As filled with millennial insight as it is filled with nudity, "Paris 13th District" is a lighter affair from the dependable Jacques Audiard.” – Next Best Picture May 31, 2022 Full Review Nitram (2021) 92% 7/10 EDIT “While it may be an experience that wrecks people physically and emotionally due to its humanistic intensity, there is hope that there will be a greater understanding of this dark chapter in human history upon leaving the theater.” – Next Best Picture May 31, 2022 Full Review Memoria (2021) 90% 7/10 EDIT “"Memoria" is a masterwork for the most devoted of movie fans who need an escape from the noise of the modern world. It's wildly beautiful and imaginative, challenging your patience and outlooks on life and death.” – Next Best Picture May 31, 2022 Full Review A Hero (2021) 97% 8/10 EDIT “At the center of the film is Amir Jadidi as Rahim, who is a captivating lead like all Farhadi performers. Despite his myriad of problems, Rahim always carries a dogged smile on his face and a sliver of optimism in his mind.” – Next Best Picture May 31, 2022 Full Review The French Dispatch (2021) 75% 8/10 EDIT “A visual masterpiece bursting at the seams with talent both on and off the screen, "The French Dispatch" is a film by a director working at the absolute height of his powers.” – Next Best Picture May 31, 2022 Full Review Broker (2022) 94% 8/10 EDIT “With a lighter tone and more melodrama, "Broker" doesn't contain the precision of Kore-eda's previous works, but that lightness still makes for an accessible and emotionally rewarding experience nonetheless.” – Next Best Picture May 31, 2022 Full Review
