“Younus’ dialogue becomes a little flowery at times in ‘I’ve Seen All I Need to See,’ though the filmmaker stays consistent with his overall balance and spiritual themes, much like he does in ‘The Buildout.'”
“‘Other’ may not be the sharpest or most original take on childhood abuse, but there’s more than enough to keep viewers invested until the devastating denouement — especially if you’re a parent.”
“‘A Private Life’ ultimately becomes lethargic and then putters out. Foster dangles in the midst of it, like an actress who sees the film set disappear while she’s still in her role.”
“‘Wake Up Dead Man’ transforms into something more impactful by sincerely and non-judgmentally attempting to grapple with faith from an atheist’s perspective.”
“‘Plainclothes’ isn’t necessarily a kinky film — it just does better than most tales of life in the closet to explain why this can be more alluring than coming out and finding somewhere to make these connections in the open.”
