Review of Paddleton (2019)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Variety (12,700) on 01 Feb 2019

Review of The First Patient (2018)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 24 Oct 2018

Review of Call Her Ganda (2018)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Variety (12,700) on 19 Sep 2018

Review of The Song of Sway Lake (2019)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Variety (12,700) on 19 Sep 2018

A clunky, lurching affair populated by barely sketched individuals who seem to be competing for a most-intolerable prize…

Review of Assassination Nation (2018)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 18 Sep 2018

Review of I Am Not a Witch (2017)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for The Daily Beast (380) on 09 Sep 2018

In a subtly expressive performance, newcomer Mulubwa employs a stoic, morose countenance to convey Shula's bottomless well of hurt, loneliness,…

Review of The Nun (2018)

Review of Bisbee '17 (2018)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Variety (12,700) on 28 Aug 2018

Review of A Prayer Before Dawn (2018)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for The Daily Beast (380) on 06 Aug 2018

Such whiplash-inducing confusion and bedlam is central to A Prayer Before Dawn, which at every turn is about conveying the runaway-train condition…

Review of Cocote (2017)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for The Daily Beast (380) on 02 Aug 2018
