    Fishing Without Nets
    Though this setup is perhaps infused with too much piety, cheating audience empathy toward the main character, it nonetheless generates a compelling air of social fatalism.

    Swim Little Fish Swim
    It subtly counteracts the cliché that creative expression can save your life by making its protagonist a hipster Peter Pan whose creative expression is an excuse not to grow up.

    The Man on Her Mind
    The film suggests an ineffectual mishmash of Ruby Sparks-ish high concept and modern Elizabethan comedy.

    The Calling
    The premise of faith-based assisted suicide as a motivating factor for a madman's killing spree is initially intriguing, but quickly revealed as solemn window dressing.

    May in the Summer
    Cherien Dabis is least successful at connecting her character May's marital crisis to the rumblings of her repressed heritage.

    The Maid's Room
    Drina is less of an individual, and one whom we wish to see avenged, than a transparent martyr for the collective sins of the wealthy few.
    • 18 Metascore

    Behaving Badly
    Falls back on the trappings of the film's innumerable teenage gross-out forefathers with tiresome vulgarity and rote misunderstandings in place of genuine insight.

    The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz
    The film is far from a technical matter, fiercely promoting Swartz's legacy and challenging us with the same questions its central subject was compelled to ask.
    • 65 Metascore

    Coherence
    The film's impression of personas is less traditionally sinister than representative of its inquiry into identity and what happens when social barriers begin to fall away.

    Lullaby
    Garrett Hedlund's performance throbs with an anguish that's far more honest than the sentimental euthanasia subplot at the center of the film.
    • 56 Metascore

    Filth
    Ultimately, the film is too nihilistic to believe its protagonist can be saved, declaring him a lost soul and satisfied to let him suffer.
    • 51 Metascore

    God's Pocket
    Throughout, it becomes difficult to know whether we're meant to empathize with these characters or laugh at them.
    • 62 Metascore

    Beneath the Harvest Sky
    It flourishes in the spaces between the plot's necessary setups and subsequent payoffs, which is nearly enough to redeem the film if not for the narrative going belly up in the third act.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 50 Nick Prigge
    13 Sins
    Daniel Stamm's film is solidly helmed, if expectedly over-reliant on unnecessarily grisly comeuppances that leave nothing to the imagination.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 63 Nick Prigge
    Brothers Hypnotic
    There are grudges held amid all the good will, an intention of the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble to do things on their terms, and those terms stem directly from their upbringing.
