Review of London Boulevard (2010)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 07 Nov 2011

A movie like this lives and dies by its finer details, and London Boulevard screws up by applying the same broad brush to its entire cast,…

Review of Killing Bono (2011)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 01 Nov 2011

Rather than organically develop its characters, it charts their evolution via silly outfit changes, treating the early '80s as a costume bin…

Review of The Other F Word (2011)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 31 Oct 2011

Covered in tattoos and clinging to wisps of their outsider status, the men profiled here seem assured of the novelty of their dilemma, as if…

Review of The Thing (2011)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 12 Oct 2011

You can tell a lot about the film from its rough handling of the materials supplied by its predecessor, using these commonalities both to identify…

Review of Art History (2011)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 18 Sep 2011

The staging of this dissociative roundelay is still presented in a forcefully lo-fi format, prizing roughly framed shots, improvisation, and…

Review of Contagion (2011)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 11 Sep 2011

If Sound It Out never really digs its claws into its material, it at least approaches it with a careful level of thought and commitment…

Review of Sound It Out (2011)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 11 Sep 2011

The film mostly works because it doesn't overplay the consequence of its subject…

Review of The Inheritors (2011)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 05 Sep 2011

Assembled from short, naturalistic shots of people at work, the documentary becomes a bittersweet testament to labor and a damning representation…

Review of El Bulli: Cooking in Progress (2011)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 24 Jul 2011

A unique restaurant like El Bulli probably deserves a more creative documentary than El Bulli: Cooking in Progress, a static portrait that…

Review of The Woman with the 5 Elephants (2010)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 17 Jul 2011

Watching Svetlana Geierat work, parsing the wild complexities of language as she converts Russian into German, the doc becomes a meditation…

Review of Another Earth (2011)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 17 Jul 2011

The hanging specter of a phantom planet puts a lot of pressure on Another Earth, a resolutely small parable of grief that often feels menaced…

Review of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan (2011)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 13 Jul 2011

Despite gestures toward modernity and clumsy humanism, the film feels regressive, presenting a version of modern China that's as much of an…

Review of The Ledge (2011)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 04 Jul 2011

There's nothing wrong with establishing a field of unlikable characters, but The Ledge not only relies on paper-thin stereotypes, it keeps…

Review of Cost Of A Soul (2011)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 02 Jun 2011

It's always refreshing to see a newcomer with so much energy, but the chaos that takes over Cost of a Soul ultimately feels wasteful…

Review of We Are the Night (2010)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 02 Jun 2011

We Are the Night's primary interest seems to be wish fulfillment, but it's hard to tell at times exactly whose fantasies these are supposed to be…

Review of Submarine (2011)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 30 May 2011

It cheats a little, using a mix of amateurish extreme close-ups and striking Welsh industrial vistas to substitute for real technical proficiency,…

Review of True Legend (2010)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 20 May 2011

Opting for craziness over coherence, True Legend at least expends its energy in the right place…

Review of That's What I Am (2011)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 08 May 2011

The latest (and by far most sneaky) attempt to slip one of its wrestlers into multiplexes, WWE Films' That's What I Am is surprisingly low…

Review of Arthur (2011)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 12 Apr 2011

If this version fails, it's at least partially because it's been sent on the cinematic equivalent of a suicide mission…

Review of Cat Run (2011)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 03 Apr 2011

The nicest thing to be said about Cat Run might be that it doesn't know what kind of movie it wants to become…
