By Nick Schager (2,294) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 28 Jun 2012

Kirby Dick's spartan use of graphics and statistics conveys arguments with little grandstanding…

Review of That's My Boy (1951)

Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 12 Jun 2012

Review of Ikland (2012)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 12 Jun 2012

Review of U.N. Me (2012)

Review of Chernobyl Diaries (2012)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 24 May 2012

Review of Mighty Fine (2012)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 21 May 2012
