“‘Complete Unknown’ seems to have its finger on the pulse of something characteristic of our FOMO culture.”
“I think that Schrader is just reaching out, trying to stretch his directorial arms, trying to show everything that he’s got.”
“Maybe it’s his own nostalgia or the naturalistic approach, but I haven’t felt someone film my city with that much love in a long time.”
“It is Herzog’s simultaneous exhibition of curiosity, awe, and irreverence in the face of the digitally connected world that makes ‘Lo and Behold’ a unique treatment of its subject that is not to be missed.”

“It may sound like an odd compliment to praise a film for coming across like an ambien trip.”
“We don’t who Helmut Berger is. Neither does he. Once a star, he will always be a star.”
“‘Little Sister’ has a uniformly strong cast, but Addison Timlin gives one of those star-making turns that, if the universe is at all just, will be but the first prominent stepping stone for an extraordinary career.”
“To missteps when ‘Three’ hews too close to action clichés.”
