“Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight” still seems aware, with a hint of biting realism, that a prototypical perspective is maintained.

It devolves into such a shapeless blob that any effort to pick apart its themes feels like fighting with its creator.

A meeting of “Leave No Trace” and “Hell or High Water,” “Sovereign” is a thought provoking political work whose sympathetic eye is given focus by its potent cast.  

“Wild Diamond” is an extremely intimate film.

Mahmoud Bakri is splendid as Chatila, setting his jaw hard as he tries to keep his situation together even as his heart keeps getting broken.

Juan Pablo Di Pace’s movie about memory, longing, time, and family is like a set of Russian nesting Matryoshka dolls.

While it’s a smaller story than her hit series “Girls,” Dunham quickly reminds us why she was heralded as one of the great writers of her generation.

“Brick” buzzes around your senses, grabbing for your attention, but has a very short shelf life.

This latest version makes for enjoyable-enough popcorn entertainment, but ultimately leaves us wondering: was it even necessary?
