Review of Paradise: Faith (2013)

By Derek Smith (382) for Tiny Mix Tapes (64) on 03 Oct 2017

Faith, the second film in the Paradise trilogy, may not be as effective as its predecessor, but its story of a recently converted fundamental…

Review of Ha Ha Ha (2010)

By Derek Smith (382) for Tiny Mix Tapes (64) on 03 Oct 2017

Hahaha continues down this path with, as the title clearly suggests, an extremely funny, yet still sobering bend…

Review of The Day He Arrives (2011)

By Derek Smith (382) for Tiny Mix Tapes (64) on 03 Oct 2017

The Day He Arrives is a minor effort from Hong, but it's also rather humorous and, like his other films, contains a brilliantly constructed…

Review of A Separation (2011)

By Derek Smith (382) for Tiny Mix Tapes (64) on 03 Oct 2017

A Separation ends on the perfect note, a nearly impossible decision whose weight is left on our shoulders while the credits roll…

Review of The Turin Horse (2011)

By Derek Smith (382) for Tiny Mix Tapes (64) on 03 Oct 2017

While it's not among Tarr's greatest works, this self-proclaimed final film could not be a more fitting conclusion to a great career, in its…

Review of Mon Oncle (1958)

By Derek Smith (382) for Tiny Mix Tapes (64) on 03 Oct 2017

Jacques Tati, perhaps the greatest of comic directors, made films that demand to be seen on the big screen - his use of space, framing, and…

Review of Walking Out (2017)

By Derek Smith (382) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 03 Oct 2017

Walking Out is modest in scope, its concerns limited to man’s attempts to live both morally and harmoniously with nature…

Review of Certified Copy (2010)

By Derek Smith (382) for Tiny Mix Tapes (64) on 03 Oct 2017

Kiarostami adopts a lush visual scheme and almost lighthearted tone that provides levity to a remarkably demanding work, one that's as playfully…

Review of Attenberg (2010)

By Derek Smith (382) for Tiny Mix Tapes (64) on 03 Oct 2017

Attenberg doesn't have a sense of true purpose and cohesion…

Review of The Kid with a Bike (2011)

By Derek Smith (382) for Tiny Mix Tapes (64) on 03 Oct 2017

The results are emotionally ingratiating and quite touching…

Review of Film Socialisme (2010)

By Derek Smith (382) for Tiny Mix Tapes (64) on 03 Oct 2017

I have to swallow my pride here and say that JLG lost me with Film Socialism…

Review of Melancholia (2011)

By Derek Smith (382) for Tiny Mix Tapes (64) on 02 Oct 2017

Despite its sci-fi premise and air of apocalyptic doom, Melancholia, surprisingly enough, is a small film, locating both its terror and its humor…

Review of Tabu (2012)

By Derek Smith (382) for Tiny Mix Tapes (64) on 02 Oct 2017

Tabu is strange, powerfully evocative, playfully experimental, and truly one of the most beautiful films in recent years…

Review of Brian Eno 1971–1977: The Man Who Fell To Earth (2011)

By Derek Smith (382) for Tiny Mix Tapes (64) on 02 Oct 2017

The film's successful balance of focusing on Eno as musician and songwriter and Eno as innovator, collaborator, and soundshaper helps to reveal…

Review of Tabu (2012)

By Derek Smith (382) for Tiny Mix Tapes (64) on 02 Oct 2017

Tabu is strange, powerfully evocative, playfully experimental, and truly one of the most beautiful films in recent years…

Review of Sleepless Nights Stories (2011)

By Derek Smith (382) for Tiny Mix Tapes (64) on 02 Oct 2017

Sleepless Nights Stories merely lingers on the personal, and the mundanity that was so magical in one film is now rendered just plain ordinary…

Review of Goodbye Christopher Robin (2017)

By Derek Smith (382) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 29 Sep 2017

A sweet ode to childhood innocence turning sour upon its introduction to the public is an intriguing notion, but Simon Curtis incomprehensibly…

Review of Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House (2017)

By Derek Smith (382) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 25 Sep 2017

Mark Felt is a kind of hagiography, and it leans toward whitewashing its subject's legacy, which extends even to the man's illegal break-ins…

Review of Stronger (2017)

By Derek Smith (382) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 20 Sep 2017

David Gordon Green zeroes in on the intricacies of Jeff Bauman and Erin Hurley's dysfunctional relationship, offering up an unassuming portrait…

Review of Last Rampage (2017)

By Derek Smith (382) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 17 Sep 2017
