  1. I think that Prisoners of the Ghostland belongs in the category that was previously only really reserved for Jodorowsky’s El Topo, and that is the Acid Western. It embodies and revives that category of movie. If you like Westerns, martial arts, Japanese cinema, Nicolas Cage, or anything weird AF, then this is certainly for you.

    The film is sympathetic to the underpaid players, but doesn’t shirk away from their crime. Cusack is particularly good as the player whose faith in his friends and baseball was destroyed while his life was torn asunder by circumstance.

    It’s funny, fast-paced, and just plain fun.
  2. It pulls viewers to the edge of their seats and never relents, and never stops prodding at the emotions of everyone watching.
  3. Hadaway indicts this country’s misguided preoccupation with being first, scrutinizing America’s twisted values via the prism of her uber-competitive protagonist. As a result, The Novice officially claims the title of The Best Film About Rowing Ever Made.
  4. There are a handful of dull moments in Definition Please, but as frustrating as they can be, they don’t drown out the brilliance of Rajan and the compelling script. I was pulled in early due both to the emotional content and the relevance to the real world.
  5. Aided enormously by Jeremy Renner, his astonishing lead actor, Jacobson has created something we haven’t seen since “The Silence of the Lambs”: a sensitive, non-exploitative serial killer movie.
  6. Haymaker has a little something for everyone, and it’s totally worth the watch. I’m excited to see what Nick Sasso does next.
  7. Worthy of attention. Susman has put together a well-crafted, witty commentary on corporate culture and the deals all of us make with ourselves to come to terms with modern existence.
  8. A well-edited and rhythmically moving documentary, SPEAK. communicates with us and will continue to hold its own for many years to come.
  9. Both Democrats and Republicans take it on the chin here, although the left-leaning bias is obvious.
  10. The result, while flawed, is glorious: majestic, atmospheric, visually stunning, led by two charismatic leads. Scott, at 86, shows the young ‘uns how it’s done.
  11. One thing remains certain: Satterlund and his crew know how to drop jaws. The plot may have been told before, but certainly never quite like this.
  12. It doesn’t talk down to audiences, instead inviting them to experience something relatable, something that both challenges and provides answers. How refreshing.
  13. Rodriguez slams down the sledgehammer with so much brutal, punishing force, there's no room to breathe.
  14. Grade A propaganda of the first order.
  15. Wrestle will completely suck you in from beginning to end.
  16. Stripped away off all privileges, a shell of a human remains, a carcass, and that glimmer of hope that keeps one going is the driving nucleus of the lyrical and timely To a Land Unknown.
  17. All you have to do is forget about watching the movie and let the movie watch you. Just listen to the thunder in the distance, overhear part of someone else’s life, and feast your eyes on vistas unseen until now.
  18. I love a nice, quiet film. It’s so relaxing and such a nice break from the flashy multiplex fare. I love watching films that you can let just wash over you. The Hungarian film Hukkle provides that comfort, while at the same time coming up with an inventive way to tell a story.
  19. Tropic is, at its core, a tale of brotherly love. It’s a wonderful experience, whether you speak French or need to read the subtitles. It’s masterfully crafted by a great cinematic team and reminds me of the glorious films of the French New Wave.

    Subtle, funny and touching. It’s not like a blow-by-blow “Birth of a Hero” type of film. The script is near perfect and the acting is spot on.

    Sudan, Remember Us tackles a political conflict that is underreported in the mainstream news cycle and treats it with dignity. Meddeb’s film is a valuable viewing experience as it teaches us to value our freedoms and individual voices.
  20. Far and away the best of the Star Wars prequels (tough chore, that) and also holds its own with the hallowed films of the original trilogy.
  21. Measure for Measure is a collection of great performances by both seasoned and up-and-coming actors.
  22. Thornton's Jacob initially comes across as the love child of Elmer Fudd and Butthead, but ends up as the best role he's ever had.
  23. Is Mope a “must see?” If you love movies that start off insane and ends even crazier, then yes, Mope is a must see in every way!
  24. Throughout Gather, Rawal refrains from placing blame and portraying his subjects as victims but focuses instead on their resolve and resilience. He keeps the cameras on his subjects, allowing them to be the drivers of their own narrative, instead of relying on voiceovers or talking heads.
  25. Any thinking person – no matter what political stripe or moral belief – needs to see this important film then try to apply its valuable lessons to today's, still, unstable planet.
