Review of Mississippi Grind (2015)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 02 May 2016

A loose, funky character study of two guys who can only frame their station as can't win and can't lose, and can't really imagine a life that's…

Review of Trumbo (2015)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 02 May 2016

Review of Son of Saul (2015)

Review of Rams (2015)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 02 May 2016

Review of Captain Fantastic (2016)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 02 May 2016

Funny and surprisingly raw; it'd have one of the festival's best endings, if they'd had the nerve to cut it off five minutes earlier…

Review of The Green Inferno (2013)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 02 May 2016

It's mostly just sad - not because Roth takes such a sharp scalpel to the social justice movement, but because he swings a baseball bat, and…

Review of Operation Avalanche (2016)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 02 May 2016

Review of The Free World (2016)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 02 May 2016

The pair get a good byplay going, and a couple of individual scenes sing, but overall, it's a creaky mess…

Review of Brooklyn (2015)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 02 May 2016

Brooklyn' might sound like some sort of starchy period piece, which couldn't be further from the truth - it's vibrant and warm and funny…

Review of Morris from America (2016)

Review of Indignation (2016)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 02 May 2016

Review of Truth (2015)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 02 May 2016
