Apur Sansar (The World of Apu) (1959)

Drama Rated NR

“…exquisitely joyful and romantic.”

Wild (2014)

Drama Rated R

“There’s something fiercely feminist about Wild…”

“A poor job of world-building undermines this French-Spanish animated effort…”

Blackhat (2015)

Action/Adventure Rated R

“…manages an idiosyncratic pulse for a cyber-thriller, and that’s due largely to Mann.”
