    Hieronymus Bosch, Touched by the Devil
    The most fascinating moments in Hieronymous Bosch come from art historians once they’ve turned to the work of history: creating meaning and context, wrestling with these questions. The film renders this conversation beautifully, and in moments begins to feel urgent in spite of itself.

    Indian Point
    Even when it's ruining lives, bureaucracy is boring. And Indian Point, Ivy Meeropol's new documentary about a nuclear power plant of that name, is riddled with tiresome bureaucratic wrangling at local and national levels.

    Rabin, the Last Day
    By glamorizing struggle and ideology across the Israeli-Jewish political spectrum, it once more invites identification with only half of those locked in the conflict Rabin was trying to solve.

    India's Daughter
    The film is undeniably compelling, and the fury and protest with which women across India responded to Singh's murder was explosive.... Yet there's something worrisome in the sensationalist tone.

    On Beauty
    The short documentary On Beauty is all surfaces, skimming, lightness, flash.

    Felt
    This strange, quiet film takes social narratives about romance and gender and upends them, often seeming like one thing until it's another.

    Seeds of Time
    Fowler's work is bureaucratic, institutional, Western-focused. Which shouldn't matter, because it's good work, but as a story of salvation it feels too familiar.

    Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks
    For a film whose central motif is dance, there's remarkably little dancing done onscreen, and though Rowland and her co-star share moments of tender, revealing conversation, the movie is ultimately underwhelming, its emotional range as limited as that of its characters.

    Free the Nipple
    It's too rare for movies to depict women working together as friends to effect political change, and this one makes it seem righteous, loud, and fun as a rock concert. Free the Nipple won't change the conversation, but it might help start one.

    The Hacker Wars
    The documentary can sometimes feel like a video game, with cartoonish pinging graphics, but the real-life consequences of digital activity, from arrests to CIA monitoring and a total lack of privacy for ordinary citizens, heighten its stakes.

    Beyond the Edge
    With the facts so poignant, there's little that needs dramatizing.

    Evergreen: The Road to Legalization
    Because the battle for legalization is still being fought in most other states, the lack of an up-to-date perspective is frustrating.

    Walking the Camino: Six Ways to Santiago
    Driving both the filmmaker and her subjects is wonder and wanderlust. Their enthusiasm for the Camino is contagious, and it might make you drop everything and head for Spain.

    The Rescuers
    This very serious film sometimes feels like a farce.

    Being Ginger
    Harris is wistful, funny, and articulate about his romantic neuroses and insecurities... Unfortunately, he sometimes fails to go deeper.

    Let the Fire Burn
    There's never enough information.
