Richard Linklater's APOLLO 10½: SPACE AGE CHILDHOOD is undoubtedly an affectionate nostalgia-fest, but it’s also a sneakily perverse reflection on the limitations of human remembrance. Read @wolfmansrazor's review. https://t.co/jv7sszAeja

Writer-director Mike Mills is a scavenger of often pithy moments that distill an incident, conversation, or life-changing event to its emotional essence. Read @wolfmansrazor on C'MON C'MON. https://t.co/QUWGTUR81T

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

Though eerie and quietly deadpan, Valdimar Jóhannsson’s LAMB circles its grab bag of themes for so long that it also becomes tedious. Read @wolfmansrazor's review. https://t.co/fdNZQTU7Oc

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

Michelangelo Frammartino’s IL BUCO meticulously evokes a 1961 speleological expedition, but its search for thematic resonance is frustratingly general. Read @wolfmansrazor's review. #NYFF59 https://t.co/6jJUj5mipR

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

YAKUZA PRINCESS is a grimly self-serious tale of violent destiny that's consistently drowned out by its overreaching visual style. Read @wolfmansrazor's review. https://t.co/HUWbreVhO2

[Keith Watson @wolfmansrazor]

@AlexArabian @Slant_Magazine Thank you! 🙏

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

Criterion’s dazzlingly immersive presentation of LA PISCINE offers the next best thing to a vacation on the French Riviera. Read @wolfmansrazor on Jacques Deray’s 1969 hothouse psychodrama. https://t.co/pKKbcgZiHr

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

When Jennifer Hudson is singing her heart out in #RespectMovie, not so much approximating Aretha’s voice as channeling her soul, the effect is transportive. Read @wolfmansrazor's review. https://t.co/g1hvZEnExO

A methodical, if largely allegorical, exploration of its main character’s psyche, #TheGreenKnight smooths out the enduring mysteries, opaque psychology, and narrative idiosyncrasies of its source material. Read @wolfmansrazor's review. https://t.co/b14oudCCkE
