13 Minutes (2021) |
The film follows in the grand tradition of clunky ensemble flicks that are totally devoid of substance. The only difference here is that most of those movies are lighthearted and actually fun to watch. 13 Minutes isn't fun, nor is it meant to be. - Willamette Week

Big House (2020) |
The script is witty, and the acting is natural and often resonant, particularly Michael Molina. - Willamette Week

Cousins (2021) |
At times, the dialogue veers from expository to didactic. Luckily for the viewer, it's also gorgeously shot and impeccably acted, with standout performances by Tanea Heke as older Mata and Keyahne Patrick Williams as a young Missy. - Willamette Week

It may be a predictable ride, but it's still a charming one. - Willamette Week

Neruda (2016) |
t is a celebration of Neruda, but it's also a celebration of all that his work celebrates; an ode to the beauty of art and architecture and the natural world in honor of the master of odes. - Willamette Week

Saving Banksy (2017) |
The film grapples with the complicated issue of unsanctioned Banksy auctions, but it does so in a way that tends to oversimplify the motives of everyone involved. - Willamette Week

Under the Shadow (2016) |
Anvari employs only the cream of the horror-trope crop, from decapitated dolls to creepy mute children and a newly abandoned Cold War-era apartment complex. The effect is a gradual shift from the merely creepy to the utterly terrifying. - Willamette Week

Under the Sun (2015) |
The absurdity of what the Communist state expects to pass as convincing propaganda has its own brand of zany comedy -- until Mansky zooms in on the eyes of a sobbing preteen as her dance instructor berates her. - Willamette Week

American Honey (2016) |
What emerges is an empathetic, often harrowing depiction of life in the poorest crevices of the American heartland, a sometimes sweet, sometimes sickening exploration of places Hollywood usually reserves for mockery and derision. - Willamette Week

Argentina (2015) |
The vignettes are connected, though -- visually through Saura's habit of enlarging and distorting imagery, and spiritually through his unabashed love of his subject. - Willamette Week

Hell or High Water (2016) |
Standout acting elevates what could have been a clumsy script from writer Taylor Sheridan (the former Sons of Anarchy star). - Willamette Week
