Film-Forward

Foreign

Rojo

Rojo intentionally mimics the look and grammar of cinema from the 1970s and looks amazingly retro, but it’s much more than a movie that emulates a certain way of filmmaking and storytelling.

Wild Rose

Featuring an ex-con from gritty Glasgow with Nashville dreams, played by a-star-is-born Jessie Buckley.

Our Time

Conventional is not the adjective that usually defines Carlos Reygadas’s semi-abstract and allegorical work. In that regard, his new film is an atypical surprise with mixed results.

Dogman

The most desolate and hopeless setting outside of dystopian fiction can be found in Matteo Garrone’s new film.

Long Day’s Journey into Night

It is impossible to overstate how technically dazzling the second half, shot entirely in 3-D, is.

Working Woman

This Israeli drama about sexual harassment is particularly compelling because of how believable it makes the main protagonist’s willingness to endure it.

Transit

An enigmatic study of living in limbo on the way to somewhere else.

Styx

A well-made, compassionate film with a compelling lead performance.

The Wild Pear Tree

In a new movie full of conversations more than action, director Nuri Bilge Ceylan holds your attention scene by scene.
