Review of Point and Shoot (2016)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 30 Oct 2014

Review of Exists (2014)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 20 Oct 2014

Against all good sense, Exists plays its material straight, possibly proving itself the year's most laughably derivative and dreary film…

Review of Diplomacy (2014)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 13 Oct 2014

It’s a stagy setup whose theatrical roots are always front and center, yet it’s one that’s handled with aplomb by director Volker Schlöndorff…

Review of Drive Hard (2014)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 30 Sep 2014

Just as egregious as its retrograde sexual politics, however, is the film's distinct lack of energy or wit -- shortcomings that ultimately…

Review of Hellaware (2013)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 24 Sep 2014

New York art-world hipsters get raked over the countryside campfire coals in Hellaware, a frequently hilarious - if ultimately somewhat predictable…

Review of Field of Lost Shoes (2015)

Review of The Look of Silence (2014)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 22 Sep 2014

Review of The Scribbler (2014)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 17 Sep 2014

Unfortunately, no amount of softcore titillation can compensate for all the cheap special effects and faux-profundity dispensed by this superhero-self-help…

Review of A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 17 Sep 2014

A grim '70s-style detective story whose narrative failures are overshadowed by evocative turn-of-the-millennium anxieties and a world-weary…

Review of Art and Craft (2014)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 13 Sep 2014

Review of The Green Prince (2014)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 10 Sep 2014

Despite being an aesthetic bore, The Green Prince sets itself apart from the nonfiction pack via a recent story of two unlikely comrades’…

Review of Frontera (2014)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 02 Sep 2014

With its characters all sketched in single dimension and its story woefully light on surprise or intricacy, Berry's work proves less interested…

Review of Rocks in My Pockets (2014)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 01 Sep 2014

With an insightfulness born from firsthand experience, Rocks in My Pockets posits depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia as conditions that,…

Review of Wetlands (2013)

Review of Our Family Wedding (2010)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Time Out (7,510) on 31 Jul 2014

Review of Child of God (2014)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 30 Jul 2014

By Nick Schager (2,294) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 29 Jul 2014
