    Jump
    When it becomes apparent that the seemingly linear narrative is in fact woven with several parallel story lines, one might even be inclined to excuse the plot's too many convenient coincidences.

    The Christmas Candle
    The Christmas Candle" seems destined to be a Hallmark movie of the week. But in spite of the hammy histrionics requisite for the genre, it is not at all a turkey.

    Contracted
    Although this horror flick is somewhat absurd and seemingly forgettable when viewed in a vacuum, its coincidentally contemporaneous release with "Blue Is the Warmest Color" urges immediate reconsideration.

    Finding Mr. Right
    Its depiction of esoteric facets of immigrant life lends an air of credibility seldom seen in rom-coms.

    Symphony of the Soil
    It does have a point of view, but the intended conclusion ripens for the picking in a roundabout way.

    The New Black
    Director Yoruba Richen has refreshingly avoided making this polemic into propaganda, a temptation many lesser documentarians could not resist.

    Not Yet Begun to Fight
    Not Yet Begun to Fight is barely an hour long, but it justifies a theatrical release with a lyrical meditation on nature and war.

    Two: The Story of Roman & Nyro
    The fact that Child and Shaw share writing and producing credits here almost assures it will be a self-aggrandizing puff piece.

    Toad Road
    The home-movie vérité style of the early scenes pays dividends when inexplicable occurrences suddenly take us by surprise.

    Lost for Words
    The film's colorblindness does not make up for its latent sexism.

    DSKNECTD
    It is a series of free-associating non sequiturs underscored by nonillustrative graphics and an intrusive soundtrack.

    McConkey
    Witnessing him defy long odds, gravity and death is a thrill; even the uninitiated should find his unresolved father complex of interest.
