Thankfully, ‘Recorder’ salvages its lack of narrative control with enough emotional weight to earn its memorability.- The Playlist

The film is not meaningless, or even trifling, but, Stockholm never rises above mediocre, and that is what hurts the most.- The Playlist

Phantom Cowboys is a stylish treat for viewers who enjoy meditative cinema. As an enrapturing stroll down the dusty backroad pathways and flame-covered grassland that comprise a country, the documentary manages to offer an invigorating perspective on the United States by exploring the day-to-day lives of the unseen.- The Playlist

As a simultaneous introduction and farewell, An Elephant Sitting Still might be one of the best movies that you will only watch once, but won’t ever completely leave your mind.- The Playlist

"Well Groomed" is not revolutionary cinema by any means, but it certainly is enjoyable; and sometimes, an adorable documentary about competitive creative dog grooming is exactly what you need.- The Playlist

The Plagiarists is a fantastic idea that is irredeemably marred by poor execution. There is a genuine sensation of effort on screen and a select few of the ideas the film touches upon are outright brilliant, but the product still falls remarkably flat.- The Playlist

In a Relationship lays out the director’s talents (working with actors and crafting tone) while also showcasing the areas where improvements can be made.- The Playlist

There is some fun to be had with Bird Box. Despite its sporadic eye-roll moments, the film is charming. It’s the epitome of a rainy day movie – a flick that you can watch wrapped in a blanket with a hot cup of cocoa when it’s too dreary to leave the house.- The Playlist
