Stalker (1979)
Director: Andrei Tarkovsky
Review: It’s fucking Stalker
Score: 6/5
“ A man writes because he is tormented, because he doubts. He needs to constantly prove to himself and the others that he’s worth something. And if I know for sure that I’m a genius? Why write then? What the hell for? “

Vera Drake (2004)
Director: Mike Leigh
Review: Yes, the acting is superb. Yes, it’s unbelievably impressive that this movie doesn’t even have a script. But, compared to Leigh’s filmography, Vera Drake feels a bit too sappy and heavy handed. It’s a good film but if I were to recommend a Leigh film, I’d go with Naked or Another Year.
Score: 3/5

Talk To Her (2002)
Director: Pedro Almodovar
Review: Seductive, strange, and insanely beautiful, Talk To Her is a fantastic place to get into Almodovar’s filmography.

The subtle acting and the sweeping, grievous score serve as the finishing touches for this definitive...

Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995)
Director: Todd Solondz
Review: A dark comedy about children that isn’t particularly childish, Welcome to the Dollhouse chronicles the confusing and scary world of junior high through the eyes of a socially and physically awkward girl. It’s occasionally funny and often very charming
Score: 4/5

Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005)
Director: Miranda July
Review: Solondz-esque indie comedy where the quirkiness does not outweigh the emotional weight. It’s strange, eerie and hypnotic in a way. Nice soundtrack, too.
Score: 3.5/5
“ I don’t want to have to do this living. I just walk around. I want to be swept off my feet, you know? I want my children to have magical powers.”

Trash Humpers (2009)
Director: Harmony Korine
Review: One needs to wade through a lot of seemingly pointless unpleasantness to get to the thoughtful moments, but that’s what makes those moments shine. Plus, you have to give it to Korine for remaining unrelenting in his indulgence. Gummo is probably more interesting overall, and an easier watch, but the social commentary here, while overwhelmingly simple,...

Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2010)
Director: Apichatpong Weerasethakul
Review: My favorite movie of 2010, Uncle Boonmee provides hypnotizing visuals and plenty of cryptic, exceedingly strange, and poignant metaphors for the cultural history and identity of Thailand.
Score: 5/5
