    Plan B
    Despite — or because of — its candor, the film is careful not to traffic in titillation. Everyone is beautiful, everyone is young, but this movie is made for the people in it, rather than appealing to some creepy, objectifying gaze.

    Limbo
    The first half is handsome but coy, the second is messier but stronger and fiercer too.

    Shiva Baby
    A perfectly engineered and performed piece of comic cringe.

    The Truffle Hunters
    Any good documentary teaches you how to pay attention to something, which is why this one feels like such an overwhelming experience: It teaches you to pay attention to the world, all of it all at once.

    Derek DelGaudio’s In & Of Itself
    Sadly, DelGaudio’s showmanship doesn’t always translate to its new medium — now you feel it, now you don’t. But DelGaudio’s oddly yearning text still has power on TV. He hides thorns among the card tricks, prickly questions about identity that don’t disappear with the next shuffle.

    One Night in Miami
    Whenever Cooke sings, whether at a microphone or crooning privately to himself, the movie swoons.
