I'm Your Man 2021
This kind of thing has been done before, long before Spike Jonze's Her. But – just like Her – Maria Schrader's film stands out because of that pure sincerity (which some will label as "cyber kitsch"). People who don't get that probably ain't human, right?

The Eve of Ivan Kupalo 1968
I'm starting to think Illienko just isn't my kind of chaos. I liked this more than "Story of the Forest," but his style is just too arbitrary, too frenzied, too overstuffed – like tossing Aleksandr Rou, Wojciech Has, and a mountain of coke into a locked room and waiting for the explosion.

The Ninth Gate 1999
At the end of the day, Polanski just mixed a little Rosemary's Baby with a little Chinatown, and then brought in the composer from Bram Stoker's Dracula, who just went ahead and ripped himself off again.

A Woman Under the Influence 1974
I like it when a director takes me by the hand. When he doesn't just create a world but makes me see it exactly as he does – purely through visual storytelling.
Cassavetes isn't that kind of director. He just lets the camera run. He doesn't frame things to guide my perception, doesn't tell me what to think. He just puts everything out there – raw, unvarnished, and without comment.
