Review of Cargo (2011)

By Diego Semerene (203) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 19 Oct 2011

Cargo can feel like a film about human trafficking from beginning to end…

Review of Snowmen (2010)

By Diego Semerene (203) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 17 Oct 2011

I'm not sure what part of Snowmen doesn't scream completely inappropriate, sentimental Manichean drivel…

Review of Connected: An Autoblogography About Love, Death & Technology (2011)

By Diego Semerene (203) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 28 Sep 2011

One of the film's main problems is the fact that Shlain is so invested in connecting her father's scientific findings…

Review of In Search of God (2011)

By Diego Semerene (203) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 22 Sep 2011

This is didactic self-help drivel of the worst kind, as filmmaker Rupam Sarmah creates a return-to-the-origin narrative contaminated by what…

Review of Fordson: Faith, Fasting, Football (2011)

By Diego Semerene (203) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 05 Sep 2011

In the documentary, the game is a make-believe war of pent-up frustrations linking race, nation, and manhood, one which teenage boys named…

Review of Swinging with the Finkels (2011)

By Diego Semerene (203) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 23 Aug 2011

Marriage, in the film, is the necessary evil we all must figure out how to endure in order to be happy or, at least, feel normal…

Review of 3-D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy (2011)

By Diego Semerene (203) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 21 Aug 2011

For a film so proud of its trail-blazing status (the first 3D erotic movie), 3d Sex and Zen is certainly driven by the same good old symptoms…

Review of The Tiniest Place (2011)

By Diego Semerene (203) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 15 Aug 2011

Going back to the scene of trauma is a familiar Latin American strategy for dealing with its wars and dictatorships through art, but The Tiniest…

Review of Over Your Cities Grass Will Grow (2011)

By Diego Semerene (203) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 08 Aug 2011

The extreme largesse of Anselm Kiefer's project, his radical certainties and devotion, all call for a more intrusive probing…

Review of All She Can (2011)

By Diego Semerene (203) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 25 Jul 2011

The unconventional choice of extra-curricular activity for Luz sheds light onto the strange sport of powerlifting, in which teen girls are…

Review of Autoerotic (2011)

By Diego Semerene (203) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 20 Jul 2011

Autoerotic's take on the me-me-me generation's inability for actual contact seems appropriate, but it lacks the nuance that makes Denise Calls…

Review of Hood to Coast (2011)

By Diego Semerene (203) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 11 Jul 2011

Hood to Coast mostly suffers from an incessant soundtrack that stuffs the film with a peppiness that blocks the tragedy of its characters from…

Review of Beginners (2011)

By Diego Semerene (203) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 30 May 2011

One of the most distinct pleasures of Beginners is the way it puts together fragments of someone's life-presumably the filmmaker's, although…

Review of Vacation (2011)

By Diego Semerene (203) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 20 May 2011

The film's experimental spirit gets washed out by its ultimate surrendering to more conventional, and overrated, narrative imperatives…

Review of Lord Byron (2011)

By Diego Semerene (203) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 08 May 2011

Lord Byron manages to turn nonsensical gibberish into a captivating soundtrack for the equally fragmented stories of the strangers living in…

Review of Passion Play (2011)

By Diego Semerene (203) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 05 May 2011

You almost wonder if the whole thing isn't just one big campy joke…

Review of Cougar Hunting (2011)

By Diego Semerene (203) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 24 Apr 2011

Surprisingly, Cougar Hunting isn't yet another iteration of The Hangover school of misogyny-makes-the-man politics…

Review of The First Beautiful Thing (2010)

By Diego Semerene (203) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 16 Apr 2011

In films such as the Italian The First Beautiful Thing, the mother/whore dichotomy collapses in whimsical ways: The mother is the whore…

Review of They're Out of the Business (2011)

By Diego Semerene (203) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 07 Apr 2011

This is the kind of film whose impeccably steady shots and perfectly ordinary televisual aesthetic feel at odds with its subject matter…

Review of Desert Flower (2009)

By Diego Semerene (203) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 20 Mar 2011

The film's unabashed willingness to go from bleak topical piece on genital mutilation to guilty-pleasure glamour can be disconcerting…
