I Do Not Care If We Go Down in History as Barbarians dir. Radu Jude. 2018, 140 min.


"To fully deconstruct Romanian director Radu Jude’s meta-on-meta I Do Not Care If We Go Down in History as Barbarians...would require page upon page of single-spaced footnotes, swathes of Hannah Arendt, a deft repackaging of Walter Benjamin’s “Theses on the Philosophy of History,” and a crash course in Romanian anti-Semitism and the nation’s participation in World War II, amid formal nods to Godard, Straub-Huillet, and Marxist critical theory, while martial music plays in the background." -Jessica Kiang, Variety

A Gentle Creature dir. Sergey Loznitsa. 2017, 143 min.


"On the old-fashioned theatrical circuit, A Gentle Creature has about as much chance of commercial success as a hothouse orchid does of surviving a Siberian winter" -Leslie Felperin, The Hollywood Reporter

Rey dir. Niles Atallah. 2017, 91 min.


"It took [Atallah] seven years to make Rey; the process included...burying the 16mm footage in his back garden to artificially age it." -Cath Clarke, The Guardian

Winter Brothers dir. Hlynur Palmason. 2017, 94 min.


"Winter Brothers is a debut feature from a director with a background as a visual artist; for better and worse, it shows." -Ben Kenigsburg, The New York Times
