Review of Virginia (2010)

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 14 May 2012

A bonkers tragicomedy that blandly mocks the red-state family-values charade…

Review of Nesting (2012)

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 07 May 2012

Chuldenko doesn't aspire to hard realism, but a lifestyle comedy with hard-to-buy fundamentals and a central couple you can't invest in is…

Review of Bonsai (2012)

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 07 May 2012

Bonsái seems like a veritable thicket of illuminating references and correspondences…

Review of Chronicling A Crisis (2012)

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 01 May 2012

At once downbeat and claustrophobic, it's also often grueling to watch…

Review of Elles (2011)

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 23 Apr 2012

It's entirely too much for co-writer/director Malgoska Szumowska to coherently flesh out in an hour and a half, especially with so much time…

Review of 96 Minutes (2011)

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 23 Apr 2012

The narrative machinery grows creakier as the plot advances, and the film is a bit too strident about some of the issues at play, but 96 Minutes…

Review of My Way (2012)

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 17 Apr 2012

Perhaps the most charitable thing that can be said about the 143-minute marathon My Way - with a reported budget of almost $25 million, the…

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 17 Apr 2012

Review of My Way (2012)

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 17 Apr 2012

Review of Chimpanzee (2012)

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 16 Apr 2012

Throughout, narrator Tim Allen shuttles between a jokey primer on chimp society and a basic play-by-play during the more action-packed scenes…

Review of How to Grow a Band (2012)

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 09 Apr 2012

How to Grow a Band might be a bit too low-key for the non-fan, but that's not to say the tour doc lacks substance: It doubles nicely as a fly-on-the-wall…

Review of Blue Like Jazz (2012)

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 09 Apr 2012

One only has so much patience, though, for watching Communion-wafer-thin characters caught in a liberal-arts cartoon…

Review of Four Lovers (2010)

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 26 Mar 2012

Cordier remains sensitive to the subtle shifts in the foursome's dynamics, but do we really need another handwringer about the perils of polyamory…

Review of Losing Control (2012)

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 20 Mar 2012

The blue rom-com then takes a frenzied late turn into espionage territory, an attempt to gather momentum that only makes the film more tiresome…

Review of Free Men (2011)

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 13 Mar 2012

Free Men never feels like a movie about a developing conscience, due largely to the shallowness of the protagonist as written and, by extension,…

Review of Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011)

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 06 Mar 2012

Gelb might flit around a bit too much, but his appealing documentary always comes back to its subject's determination (sometimes overbearing)…

Review of Where Are You Taking Me? (2012)

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 28 Feb 2012

Takesue doesn't presume to tell anyone's story for him or her, but rather lets the activity on-screen speak for itself…

Review of Barbershop Punk (2011)

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 08 Nov 2011

Dovetails with the current Occupy message but still feels rather stale…

Review of To Be Heard (2011)

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 10 Oct 2011

However uplifting, To Be Heard, shot over the course of several years, takes a surprisingly unflinching look at the home lives of the three…
