    Rachel Getting Married

    ★★★

    A series of dramatic moments feathered into lengthy wedding sequences. Well acted, but narratively unsatisfying.

  • The Dyatlov Pass Incident

    The Dyatlov Pass Incident

    ★★

    An intriguing premise in the vein of "The Blair Witch Project" with some metaphysical spice. However, it's underdeveloped on all fronts--plot, theme, and character, and nothing special cinematically.

    The Promised Land

    ★★★★★

    The Promised Land pits willpower and resilience against chaos and brutality. 

    It’s an artful, violent Danish “western”. Stark and beautifully shot with another pitch-perfect performance from Mads, who conveys an amazing depth of character, often without uttering a word.

    The set-up is methodical and tense, and totally pays off.

    Dìdi (弟弟)

    ★★★★★

    A coming-of-age story, but also a mother-son story, told with remarkable deftness and authenticity.

    There’s neither a false note nor a misstep in the screenplay or the performances.

    Raw and emotional, but also nuanced and complex. Equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, jubilant and sad, featuring one of the most perfect, touching final shots in cinema this year.
