Film Review: The Dictator
Semi-improvised political satire about a North African dictator cast adrift anonymously in New York City, who must defeat a nefarious plot to bring democracy to his country. More »

Film Review: Hysteria
Gimmicky but handsome period rom-com about the hysteria caused in Victorian London with the introduction of the electrical vibrator amounts to a superficial cinematic massage with Wilde and Shaw frissons. More »

Fact-based crime drama about a Parisian squad assigned to child-abuse cases is a dual powerhouse that explodes with both the breaches of the perps and personal turmoils within the force. More »
Film Review: Mansome
Morgan Spurlock can walk the line between “lovin’ it” and semi-serious satire like nobody else, and he performs that toe-dance once again in Mansome, a documentary on the topic of male grooming. It’s a cute enough, au courant idea, though the Spurlock matrix of interviews plus graphics is wearing a little thin, the probes less probing. More »

Give a young auteur some indie pull and look what happens: Strictly recommended to anyone who needs to see a schizophrenic single mother robbing a bank in a gorilla mask and housedress. More »
Film Review: Beyond the Black Rainbow
A visually inventive but narratively bereft first feature. More »
