    SLY LIVES! (aka The Burden of Black Genius)

    ★★★½

    Well shy of definitive, but a fun stab at hagiography nevertheless, accompanied by some bizarre attempts at 2025-era armchair psychoanalysis. (Side note: It really is remarkable how Jam & Lewis took one of the loosest, most fluid grooves ever recorded and made it utterly mechanized and inhuman.)

  • Bring Them Down

    Bring Them Down

    ★★★½

    There’s a new McDonagh in town! Half a star deducted for transparent similarities to the superior The Beasts.

    If I Think of Germany at Night

    This tedious look at Germany’s house music scene ignores the axiom that good documentaries are made in the editing room. Instead, we get excruciatingly long takes of DJs at work and uninterrupted interviews where they ramble at length, usually incoherently. There’s only about eight minutes of actual information in this 105-minute movie. (Review from portlandmercury.com.)
