True Story (2015) 45% 4/10 EDIT “Though [True Story] attempts to tackle issues of reportorial and moral integrity -- just how far someone will go to convince him or herself that the end justifies the means -- it is ultimately totally out of its depth.” – Paste Magazine Apr 23, 2015 Full Review Ex Machina (2014) 92% 8/10 EDIT “Beautifully haunting.” – Paste Magazine Apr 10, 2015 Full Review Da Sweet Blood of Jesus (2014) 49% 6/10 EDIT “The film's execution doesn't serve its subject matter, making it feel more like an affected thesis than an effective work of art.” – Paste Magazine Feb 19, 2015 Full Review Foxcatcher (2014) 88% 8/10 EDIT “If on the surface this is a story about men seeking intimacy through unadulterated physicality, at its core, Foxcatcher is about people searching for something missing from their lives.” – Paste Magazine Nov 20, 2014 Full Review Summer of Blood (2014) 54% 9.4/10 EDIT “Director-writer-star-Turkish Zach Galifianakis, Onur Tukel, pays tribute to the horror movie trope while completely upending it with the hipster sensibility so commonly associated with the borough.” – Paste Magazine Oct 30, 2014 Full Review Kill the Messenger (2014) 76% 6.9/10 EDIT “Kill the Messenger may not be the most exciting film you will see this year, but there are plenty of good performances from great actors in cameo roles.” – Paste Magazine Oct 16, 2014 Full Review About Alex (2014) 46% 4.9/10 EDIT “Ultimately, the portrayals in About Alex are all caricatures that don't really ring true.” – Paste Magazine Aug 14, 2014 Full Review Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton: This Is Stones Throw Records (2013) 88% 9.3/10 EDIT “Jeff Broadway's excellent new documentary, Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton, skillfully and artfully tells the Stone Throw story as it reaches some great heights and sinks to some deep lows.” – Paste Magazine May 30, 2014 Full Review Joe (2013) 87% 5.8/10 EDIT “This Southern Gothic story is overwrought and, despite its beautifully decayed deep South setting and flawed characters who might be interesting underneath all their angst, is actually kind of boring.” – Paste Magazine Apr 10, 2014 Full Review Rob the Mob (2014) 81% 5.9/10 EDIT “The problem here is that the film wavers between free-flowing comedic chaos and melodramatic poignancy -- it's much more successful with the former.” – Paste Magazine Mar 27, 2014 Full Review Grand Piano (2013) 80% 8.3/10 EDIT “Grand Piano should be taken with a winter's supply of road salt, but if you can get past the absurdity of it all you are in for a pretty good time.” – Paste Magazine Mar 20, 2014 Full Review Kids for Cash (2013) 92% 6.5/10 EDIT “Its small filmmaking flaws aside, the story of Kids For Cash is a powerful and important one.” – Paste Magazine Mar 17, 2014 Full Review Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) 92% 9/10 EDIT “The Coens have created a film that is wholly original and highly entertaining.” – Paste Magazine Dec 5, 2013 Full Review The Summit (2012) 67% 7/10 EDIT “The Summit tries to make sense of what happened through this haze of fact and memory, but certain vital questions are left unanswered (through no fault of the filmmakers').” – Paste Magazine Oct 4, 2013 Full Review Maniac (2012) 53% 4/10 EDIT “Even the most ardent horror fan might struggle to find something to enjoy in Franck Khalfoun's remake of William Lustig's 1980 slasher classic, Maniac.” – Paste Magazine Jun 27, 2013 Full Review To the Wonder (2012) 47% 5/10 EDIT “Frankly, To The Wonder becomes bogged and down and more than a little bit boring over the course of its two hours.” – Paste Magazine Apr 19, 2013 Full Review The Silence (2010) 87% 8/10 EDIT “In a field of clichd psychological crime thrillers, The Silence stands out.” – Paste Magazine Mar 14, 2013 Full Review Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey (2013) 63% 7/10 EDIT “An engaging, sweeping overview of Pineda's story, which is buoyed by the cheesy but classic sounds of Journey and Pineda's soft-spoken, humble charm.” – Paste Magazine Mar 7, 2013 Full Review Lore (2012) 94% 7/10 EDIT “Saskia Rosendahl, who plays Lore, is marvelous to watch.” – Paste Magazine Feb 8, 2013 Full Review Happy People: A Year in the Taiga (2010) 88% 6/10 EDIT “Happy People is an engrossing look at a culture that many viewers have never been exposed to, and as usual, Herzog's even-paced, accented narration is a joy to listen to.” – Paste Magazine Feb 5, 2013 Full Review Amour (2012) 93% 9/10 EDIT “Mundanely horrifying and extremely powerful.” – Paste Magazine Dec 19, 2012 Full Review Smiley (2012) 17% 4/10 EDIT “Mostly it fails, due in large part to the poor acting, low production values, and a weak script that bogs down what might otherwise have been an interesting film.” – Paste Magazine Oct 15, 2012 Full Review Seven Psychopaths (2012) 82% 8/10 EDIT “There's a lot going on here, but it all amounts to a really good time.” – Paste Magazine Oct 15, 2012 Full Review Monsieur Lazhar (2011) 98% 9/10 EDIT “The acting is stellar throughout the film, from the one-named Algerian actor Fellag's subtle and warm portrayal of the title character, to the cast of precocious children who make up his classroom.” – Paste Magazine Apr 6, 2012 Full Review Good for Nothing (2012) 53% 5/10 EDIT “Unfortunately, Good For Nothing's references and aspirations are a bit higher than what is actually on the screen.” – Paste Magazine Mar 22, 2012 Full Review
