    Where We Started
    Written and directed by Chris Hansen, this romance has its authentic moments. As it happens, Mr. Brumlow and Ms. Vander Broek are married, but their familiarity hurts as much as it helps.

    Frequencies
    While the detached, deadpan tone and occasionally stilted acting might leave some viewers flat, there’s no doubting the fierce intelligence behind this admirable puzzle box of a movie.

    Hollidaysburg
    Hollidaysburg is a pleasant if unremarkable coming-of-age film.

    Delusions of Guinevere
    This low-budget film is often static and awkward... Smaller scenes, though, like those when Guinevere interacts with her tough-minded lawyer of a sister or an old classmate from high school, have a realness to them.

    Skating to New York
    No role is sketched out beyond brush strokes, and no relationship is meaningfully examined.

    Songs from the North
    Scattering history lessons and ambiguous imagery amid Ms. Yoo’s engagement with North Koreans, her film implicitly asks: What must they think of us?

    Fever
    Fever doesn’t come to a neat ending and ultimately feels unsatisfying. Before then, though, it’s an intriguing and intelligent update of a true crime still chilling more than 90 years later.

    Short Skin
    The film opts for a somber if gentle tone that, given the story, is equally ill suited.

    Mi America
    Mi America is not just about a murder case but about how residents of divided communities share a history and deal with one another, sometimes hopefully, always warily.

    Homemakers
    The movie is thin on true narrative, preferring to study Irene without shedding quite enough light on her background or tracking her development.

    City Slickers Can't Stay with Me: The Coach Bob Larsen Story
    The director, Robert Lusitana, who ran for Larsen himself, has assembled a touching celebration of a coach and mentor.

    The Genital Warriors
    The movie touches on some worthy topics — sex, age, ego, desire, reason, insanity, death — but never focuses long on any of them: Some bits are amusing, most are simply tedious.

    Requiem for the American Dream
    [A] well-paced and cogent seminar.

    Class Divide
    What Class Divide does exceptionally well is capture the sense of change at warp speed.

    Never Surrender: The Ed Ramsey Story
    Directed by Matthew Hausle and Steven C. Barber, “Never Surrender” frustrates with its lack of focus.

    The Ataxian
    The Ataxian has moments of inspiration, beauty, even euphoria. But its lasting contribution is in making the world a little more familiar with this disease, and a little less lonely for the families struggling against it.

    Mr. Chibbs
    The film, like its subject, frustrates in its inability to focus; there is no deep inquiry into what makes Anderson tick. It’s like skimming a stone across a lake.

    I Am the Blues
    Less of a solemn pilgrimage than a folksy visit, this film is a chance to set a spell, watch longtime musicians play and boast and reflect about their lives on and off the road.

    No Dress Code Required
    No Dress Code Required chronicles the grudging advance of cultural change.
