2046 (2004)

Drama Rated R

A work of Wong Kar-wai fan fiction, at best. One of self parody, at worst.

Fruitvale Station (2013)

Drama Rated R

“…takes tragedies that have inflamed a nation – from Fruitvale to Sanford, Fla. – and brings them back down to human scale.”

The Spectacular Now (2013)

Drama Rated R

“…a remarkably precise portrait of a certain sort of high schooler.”

A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)

Drama Rated PG

“Tennessee Williams filled the tinderbox. Marlon Brando ignited it.”

Hannah and Her Sisters (1986)

Drama Rated PG-13

“…makes me wish Allen would get men out of the picture more often.”

Top of the Lake (2013)

Drama Rated NR

“…less interested in correcting the abusive patriarchy at its center than worming around in the ugliness such a power structure generates.”

Only God Forgives (2013)

Drama Rated R

“If it’s possible to overact while barely blinking, Ryan Gosling achieves it.”

Post Tenebras Lux (2013)

Drama Rated NR

“If there’s a unifying concept it’s the idea of defilement.”

Simon of the Desert (1965)

Drama Rated NR

“It’s in the circus that surrounds Simon where we really see Bunuel’s dark wit at play…”

The Bling Ring (2013)

Drama Rated R

“…an account of youthful disaffection being assuaged by excessive materialism.”
