Review of Big Significant Things (2015)

By Abby Garnett (48) for Village Voice (8,525) on 20 Jul 2015

Reisberg assumes we'll believe that in real life (as in, when he's not deceiving anyone about his whereabouts) Craig isn't this selfish, but…

Review of Five Star (2014)

By Abby Garnett (48) for Village Voice (8,525) on 20 Jul 2015

New York onscreen is often a fantasy of hustlers, hardened cops, and the spoiled urban yuppies of the Baumbach and Dunham universes…

Review of Results (2015)

By Abby Garnett (48) for Village Voice (8,525) on 25 May 2015

While the polish of good-looking Hollywood types shot in clean, well-lit spaces doesn’t quite connect with Bujalski’s writing style, the…

Review of The Farewell Party (2014)

By Abby Garnett (48) for Village Voice (8,525) on 18 May 2015

[Depicts] the end of life not as an isolated horror (as in Michael Haneke's Amour) or as the contested site of legal and political factions,…

Review of Echoes of War (2015)

By Abby Garnett (48) for Village Voice (8,525) on 11 May 2015

However you view the western in American filmmaking — as a moth-eaten relic or an eternal form to be resurrected every few years — there's…

Review of Gerontophilia (2013)

By Abby Garnett (48) for Village Voice (8,525) on 27 Apr 2015

Though its imagery is tame by LaBruce's standards, Gerontophilia follows his fascination with taboo sexual behavior…

Review of 24 Days (2014)

By Abby Garnett (48) for Village Voice (8,525) on 21 Apr 2015

This retelling is more concerned with black-and-white morality, which drains it of suspense…

Review of Love, Rosie (2014)

By Abby Garnett (48) for Village Voice (8,525) on 03 Feb 2015

The message is more pedestrian than passionate: Life is long, and full of instant messages…

Review of Miss Julie (2014)

By Abby Garnett (48) for Village Voice (8,525) on 02 Dec 2014

Despite a few dynamite scenes from Chastain, Miss Julie's cruelty is more potent than its craft…

Review of The Circle (2014)

By Abby Garnett (48) for Village Voice (8,525) on 18 Nov 2014

This is a fascinating and often tumultuous story, which Haupt chronicles through a mixture of interviews with the real Ostertag and Rapp (now…

Review of The Better Angels (2022)

By Abby Garnett (48) for Village Voice (8,525) on 04 Nov 2014

Kruger and Clarke do their best to look steadfast with a camera swooping around them like a wounded bird, but there's no rescuing this imprecise…

Review of Magical Universe (2014)

By Abby Garnett (48) for Village Voice (8,525) on 28 Oct 2014

This story is about tenderness and empathy, including Carbee's for his plastic proxies…

Review of The Hadza: Last of the First (2014)

By Abby Garnett (48) for Village Voice (8,525) on 28 Oct 2014

Last of the First is effective as a classroom tool for conservationist ideals (Jane Goodall herself gives an interview, as does the director…

Review of Lilting (2014)

By Abby Garnett (48) for Village Voice (8,525) on 22 Sep 2014

Khaou creates a compelling tension between Whishaw's stricken, almost febrile performance and Cheng's stubbornly dignified one…

Review of My Old Lady (2014)

By Abby Garnett (48) for Village Voice (8,525) on 08 Sep 2014

It sounds like a recipe for comedy (and Kline seems to think so too, waltzing and prat-falling through Mathias's alcoholic foibles), but Horovitz's…

Review of May in the Summer (2014)

By Abby Garnett (48) for Village Voice (8,525) on 18 Aug 2014

May in the Summer's biggest obstacle is Dabis, who isn't a strong enough actress to sell the subtle humor…

Review of I Am Happiness on Earth (2014)

By Abby Garnett (48) for Village Voice (8,525) on 13 Aug 2014

I Am Happiness on Earth's script is mostly filler between explicit, intensely choreographed sex acts…

Review of About Alex (2014)

By Abby Garnett (48) for Village Voice (8,525) on 04 Aug 2014

A lightweight Big Chill reworked for today's young professional set, which proves too clumsy and self-conscious to live up to its weighty subject…

Review of The Maid's Room (2014)

By Abby Garnett (48) for Village Voice (8,525) on 04 Aug 2014

Too low-stakes for horror, too lamebrained for satire, and too incoherent to be didactic, The Maid's Room simply uses Drina and then throws her away…

Review of Affluenza (2014)

By Abby Garnett (48) for Village Voice (8,525) on 09 Jul 2014
