Review of Meadowland (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 12 Oct 2015

The filmmakers take great pains not to stack the deck or overstate the couple's self-evident trauma, but watching the movie is ultimately like…

Review of Knock Knock (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 06 Oct 2015

The best villains are those whose motivations prove uncomfortably persuasive, and Knock Knock's drop-dead-gorgeous home invaders predicate…

Review of The Green Inferno (2013)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 21 Sep 2015

Roth amplifies that exploitation flick's least interesting components (gore, cruelty) at the expense of all others…

Review of The Beauty Inside (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 07 Sep 2015

Review of One & Two (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 10 Aug 2015

[Palermo] demonstrates an affinity for all things ethereal, even as he occasionally struggles to make space for himself in the long shadow…

Review of Only You (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 20 Jul 2015

Only You is mostly engaging for the ways in which it shows that prophecies reveal more about the receiver's interpretive biases than they do…

Review of Tangerine (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Willamette Week (516) on 15 Jul 2015

Review of Stung (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 13 Jul 2015

Though quite silly, none of this feels self-reflexive or -satisfied…

Review of Alleluia (2014)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 13 Jul 2015

Sensuous and arresting, Alleluia constantly feels as though a séance or ritual murder is about to be performed; the actual deaths, when they…

Review of Saugatuck Cures (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 29 Jun 2015

No one in the movie rises above the level of a stock character, so over-the-top in their familiar jokes as to barely even register as satire…

Review of The Midnight Swim (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 22 Jun 2015

Less is often more when it comes to depicting such rituals onscreen, and Smith is highly attuned to the simple power of, say, characters cryptically…

Review of The Nightmare (2010)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Willamette Week (516) on 18 Jun 2015

It takes longer for The Nightmare's larger point to emerge. When it does, it's chilling…

Review of Aloft (2014)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 18 May 2015

The writer-director's ideas about our connection to the land and the many other animals roaming it may well be profound, but they're buried…

Review of Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter (2014)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Willamette Week (516) on 12 May 2015

Kumiko is gorgeously shot and scored, with a dreamlike ambience and slow-burning narrative that vacillates between beautiful and unsettling…

Review of Ex Machina (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Willamette Week (516) on 12 May 2015

Ex Machina is a fine update to the artificial-intelligence genre, but it's made almost entirely of pre-existing parts…

Review of Where Hope Grows (2014)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 11 May 2015

Writer-director Chris Dowling handles that worrisome premise with a more even hand than this genre's ill-advised predecessors…
