“Dynevor is a true star in the making - destined for greatness.”
“By emphasizing aesthetics […] Castel ignores the potent emotional currents that her actors work to channel and her script tries to suggest.”
“[B]y stymying Ben in his narcissism, Park achieves both a less-clichéd depiction of Asian-Americans, and a fertile zone for urgent and reflexive cultural critiques.”
“In this strong feature debut, writer and director Celine Song delivers the most emotionally stirring film of this year’s Sundance selections.”
“Slow is an honest and respectful look into asexuality, providing the audience with the opportunity to reconsider their own definition of intimacy.”
“Jonathan Majors delivers the performance of his career thus far.”
“[T]his pool is far from a hyper-chlorinated oasis; rather, it is a fetid, acid-laced, and psychosexual stew, one that pulls characters and viewers alike down into the murky depths of amorality and churns them into husks of the humans they once were.”
“With inspiration, comedy, and determination all at the heart of this story, Radical pulls on all the right heart strings in delivering this incredible story.”
“Fancy Dance bakes these indigenous issues into a larger narrative, and the spotlight on such struggles by itself will make this film worthwhile for many.”
“Unless you’re particularly embittered, this film’s commitment to mining pathos from groan-worthy small talk is what will probably make you “come around” to it in the end […]”
“Sachs captures these powerful raw moments in simple domestic spaces. The intensity that can be found in a cafe or bedroom is unmatched.”
