Review of Wetlands (2013)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 17 Sep 2014

Review of Starred Up (2014)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 15 Sep 2014

Review of The Zero Theorem (2013)

By Laura Kern (82) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 14 Sep 2014

The Zero Theorem is very much a Terry Gilliam film: fantastical, kooky, occasionally sloppy, but with a big brain and a beating heart…

Review of Canopy (2014)

By Jared Eisenstat (8) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 14 Sep 2014

By Steven Mears (12) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 14 Sep 2014

Review of Pulp: a Film About Life, Death & Supermarkets (2014)

By Violet Lucca (89) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 14 Sep 2014

Review of Frank (2014)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 14 Sep 2014

It's sweet, just pithy enough, and brings a touch of critical sanity to the question of insanity as performance-it's a film that, you might…

By Nicolas Rapold (488) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 14 Sep 2014

Review of Mood Indigo (2013)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 14 Sep 2014

Review of Listen Up Philip (2014)

By Max Nelson (20) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 14 Sep 2014

By Nicolas Rapold (488) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 14 Sep 2014

Review of Abuse of Weakness (2013)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 14 Sep 2014

Review of Level Five (1997)
