There isn't really an overall arc present in Killer of Sheep, and that's the point. There's really nothing meant to be expressed in Killer of Sheep but the experience of poverty, and the inevitability of crime in the face of poverty.

One of the most interesting and two-sided films to be made about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Khalil and Sweitzer’s film is unique, but it remains unclear if it has the power and resonance behind it to take their points outside of the arthouse audience.

Screwball is an entertaining way to bring a very serious scandal to light.

Pig takes itself way too seriously, making some interesting storytelling choices.

The message is clear, and powerfully told.

Where earlier Moore films showcased a fair amount humor, even when covering weighty topics, Fahrenheit – especially the latter half – gives us Moore at his most serious.

While Actual People is not going to be for everyone, it does preserve a moment in time from Gen Z culture that informs and enlightens.

The film is beautifully executed with grace and lavish cinematography.

The Old Town Girls is about the consequences of decisions.

Yeo Siew Hua shows that surveillance isn’t only about control—it’s also about how we see ourselves through someone else’s eyes. In the end, the film leaves us unsettled with the idea that being watched doesn’t just change how we act, it changes who we become.

Charles Dance's début feature is an impressive achievement.

Levinson doesn’t seem to care about redemption, guilt, or any of that other nonsense. He wants to make “the great American baseball hero movie.” He wants to say something about old neighborhoods and fathers and sons playing catch in the late summer evening. The cinematography is lush, the Randy Newman score is epic. The period detail and baseball scenes are top notch.

This white trash "War of the Roses" is a surprisingly engaging film.

At once entertaining and depressing -- it exposes politics raw.

The 7 rating is for his movie. Vance himself, in his preachy, condescending book, gets it wrong.

An amazingly powerful piece of cinema. Actually, it's more an amazingly powerful piece of news journalism; the kind of in-depth stories told in all their complexity that such fluff American network "news" magazines as "Dateline" could only dream about telling.

While most of the plot of An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn feels like several different movies working at once, they all converge into a bizarre, madcap finale.

Unfortunately, the accompanying story threads tend to bog down the action rather than provide contrast between the games.

If you’re not a fan of anime, give it try. Be open and patient.

It’s a heartwarming tale about finding life after loss and finding the good in others. Unfortunately, like a Hallmark film, it’s wrapped up in a lot of schmaltz.

What saves Spider-Man 3 from becoming well, "Superman III," is the fact that it's still a solid film that packs a punch when it comes to turn on the spectacle.

Despite its touching story of family, Collisions goes a little too far in pleading its case for immigration reform and the return of DACA. If you like to engage in political debate, the film does bring up a literal myriad of issues and questions to discuss, but most likely won’t persuade many right-leaning filmgoers.

Predictable? Yes. Corny? Sure. But Brother Bear is still good, family fun.

Judge and Hertzfeldt take us on an international trip through the world of animation. From the silly, to the beautiful, to the terminally lame and pretentious, there’s a little something for every taste here…yeah, even for those who love farts.

For better or worse, the film is more of an intellectual affair than a thriller.

New Life entertains with fast-moving shooting action, creepy screaming creatures, ample guts, and moments of profound humanity.

Works on so many levels that it must be reckoned with. It certainly feels unique, and sets itself apart from most American gangster films in its stark refusal to paint the lead gangster as likable or indeed anything other than the vicious socio-psychopath he is.
