5/5

That Wasn't Me (2012) Serena Donadoni [Esteban] Crespo knows how to create images that stir strong emotions, and That Wasn't Me is a prime example of humanist agitprop.

Prison Terminal: The Last Days of Private Jack Hall (2013) Serena Donadoni There are no dramatic catharses or death-bed confessions in Prison Terminal. Edgar Barens simply documents Jack Hall's final weeks with a quiet dignity.

American Pie (1999) Serena Donadoni Although it has many familiar elements, this fresh slice of American adolescence isn't baked from the same warmed-over stereotypes and formulaic storylines of the recent batch of teen movies.

Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) Serena Donadoni Here's the biggest question in a movie built around them: Why isn't Hot Tub Time Machine a full-on parody of the culture (or at least the movies) that the characters revisit?

Genius Within: The Inner Life of Glenn Gould (2009) Serena Donadoni As much as self-imposed isolation fueled his creative output, Gould had a powerful need to connect with others, and Genius Within explores the difficulties inherent in balancing these impulses.
