The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919) 96% 5/5 EDIT “Every intention is achieved. Caligari remains Germany's greatest gift to cinema.” – CineVue Dec 5, 2020 Full Review Time Is Illmatic (2014) 98% 4/5 EDIT “One9 opts for celebration over cultural discourse. It proves a minor shortcoming when you allow yourself to revel in the raw energy of Time Is Illmatic's predictably perfect soundtrack.” – CineVue Apr 3, 2019 Full Review Magic Magic (2013) 68% 2/5 EDIT “With every intention to be a tale of cerebral turmoil, this endless slew of catechisms is less of a high-brow assessment of the psyche and more of a monobrowed headache. Driving this sallow snore, however, is a score of budding talent.” – CineVue Mar 20, 2019 Full Review The Zero Theorem (2013) 49% 2/5 EDIT “With the resolute importance of Brazil's world eclipsing his vision, Gilliam has again failed to escape from his own allegorical fantasies. Don't call it a comeback.” – CineVue Mar 8, 2019 Full Review As the Palaces Burn (2014) 81% 4/5 EDIT “Metal music may remain a stigmatised subculture, but As the Palaces Burn proves that there's more tender humanity coursing through its artists and supporters than what the stereotypes imply.” – CineVue Mar 8, 2019 Full Review Pandora's Promise (2013) 64% 3/5 EDIT “In Pandora's Promise, Stone delivers some harsh home truths on the importance of nuclear power for our energy-drunk future. While it does make for uncomfortable viewing, the proof seems very much in the plutonium.” – CineVue Mar 6, 2019 Full Review The Pervert's Guide to Ideology (2012) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Delivers a full-bodied, genuinely humorous account of ambiguity and austerity.” – CineVue Mar 5, 2019 Full Review InRealLife (2013) 46% 2/5 EDIT “Each social quandary investigated in InRealLife screams for greater attention. But it's with this that Kidron's strong journalistic flair falters.” – CineVue Mar 2, 2019 Full Review Kuma (2012) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Bolstered by a predictably chilling finale, Dağ has delivered a film equidistant between modesty and hostility.” – CineVue Mar 2, 2019 Full Review Out in the Dark (2012) 79% 3/5 EDIT “Finding love across borders has all the potential to be a downright disastrous concoction. Yet, the believable constraints Jacob and Aloni's characters carry ultimately save Mayer's Out in the Dark, making this a solemnly weighty debut.” – CineVue Feb 26, 2019 Full Review Something in the Air (2012) 81% 2/5 EDIT “Something in the Air wobbles endlessly; not only around disposable panning shots of well-spotted locations, but whether the students' actions are justifiable or just plain childish folly.” – CineVue Feb 25, 2019 Full Review Reincarnated (2012) 28% 3/5 EDIT “For a film endeavouring to chronicle a 41-year-old stoner attempting to soberly walk down the path of enlightenment, Capper's Reincarnated ultimately loses track in the presence of stardom.” – CineVue Feb 13, 2019 Full Review The Lookout (2012) 2/5 EDIT “A Parisian pileup of supersonic, neo-thriller folly.” – CineVue Feb 8, 2019 Full Review Big Boys Gone Bananas! (2011) 77% 3/5 EDIT “Big Boys Gone Bananas!*, whilst perceivable as a tad narcissistic on the Gertten front, undeniably touches on subject matters of unavoidable importance.” – CineVue Feb 5, 2019 Full Review
