Bad Exorcists (2015) |
Bad Exorcists remains laugh-out-loud funny until the very end, when things resolve on a flat note. - Willamette Week

Without Name (2016) |
Fans of Altered States, The Wicker Man and The Witch will enjoy Finnegan's psychedelic montages, Eric's descent into madness, and the forest's meditative unease. - Willamette Week

A Dark Song (2016) |
This ritualistic haunter is scary, the mood rarely breaks, and for once we get a horror movie with a functional character arc. - Willamette Week

Obit. (2016) |
The writers' stories are juxtaposed snugly beside the details of their subjects to create an exceptionally tight, often hilarious film. - Willamette Week

The Death of Louis XIV (2016) |
Aside from Louis' demise, little happens aside from the fretting of charlatan doctors and hand-wringing of courtly devotees. Jean-Pierre Laud's star performance is masterful, but cannot breathe life into this exquisite corpse. - Willamette Week

We Are the Flesh (2016) |
The dialogue is as poetic as the story is ambiguous, but strong performances and a muted, artful visual style keep this from straying into exploitation territory. Bring a long attention span and a strong stomach. - Willamette Week

One More Time With Feeling (2016) |
While he's a compelling subject on his own -- and remarkably vulnerable -- it's his relationships with his musical partner Warren Ellis and his wife, Susie Bick, that anchor Cave's ability to work through his grief. - Willamette Week

Mavis! (2015) |
Today, at 75, [Mavis Staples has] been rediscovered by this fantastic HBO production that's directed, produced and edited by only women. - Willamette Week

Jaco (2015) |
Using color Super 8 footage from Jaco's early life and funding from Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo to great effect, Jaco spares no expense in telling the tragic story of this incredible musician. - Willamette Week

We Are Twisted F...ing Sister! (2014) |
Even if you're not a fan of the music or image, We Are Twisted F***ing Sister! is an inspirational testament to faith, courage and big hair. - Willamette Week

Gimme Danger (2016) |
Jarmusch leaves no fingerprints, making this documentary a rather straightforward, artless exercise. Nevertheless, the film is carried by its subject matter, the music and a handful of long interviews with Iggy Pop that largely serve as narration. - Willamette Week

The Beatles: Eight Days a Week -- The Touring Years (2016) |
Howard can't help but overshoot the mark here, extending the story into a bit more of a biography than the subtitle calls for, but that's also what makes this film a worthwhile gateway for the uninitiated. - Willamette Week

Lights Out (2016) |
A general audience will be unnerved, occasionally scared out of their wits, and probably satisfied by this old-fashioned exploration of fear of the dark. Horror enthusiasts will bemoan this tepid, overly safe foray. - Willamette Week

The Neon Demon (2016) |
Patient fans of eye candy may get their money's worth from Neon Demon, but those craving a good story will be better served with another viewing of Black Swan. - Willamette Week

Morphine Journey of Dreams (2014) |
The best music documentaries simultaneously humanize and immortalize their subjects... the viewer should walk away with a deeper understanding, appreciation and emotional involvement with the artist. Shuman's doc succeeds on all levels. - Willamette Week

The Lives of Hamilton Fish (2013) |
Once you're in its thrall, Mason's dramatic indie-folk score is surprisingly effective, tempering the darkness of Marissa Nadler with a hint of Yoko Ono. - Willamette Week
