Cannibal (Cuenca, 2013)
Much as with George Sluizer's The Vanishing--another horrific film that I can't quite understand why anyone esteems--I find that Cannibal's stylish beauty doubles rather than mitigates the repulsion I feel at the film's lack of humanity. If you aren't going to tell me anything true, at least don't try to trick me into thinking it's not ugly.

Honour (Khan, 2014)
The United Nations estimated in 2000 that there are approximately 5,000 honor killings each year. Can a movie adequately address the horror of knowing your family wants you dead?

Persecuted (Lusko 2014)
While the opening ten minutes of the film certainly bring to light the great questions facing Americans as to religious orientation, the following eighty are little more than the typical action thriller.

I’ll Follow You Down (Mehta, 2013)
Richie Mehta's Siddharth has been the film that I have admired the most in an overall lackluster 2014. So when I found out that he wrote and directed I'll Follow You Down, a sci-fi drama with many similar themes as its less commercial counterpart, I was anxious to see it.

I am about to recommend a four hour movie--a three episode television miniseries, actually--in Czech, about a dissident student who sets himself on fire to protest the occupation of his country by the Soviet Union.

Peter Brook: The Tightrope (Brook, 2012)
Film critics don't talk about acting much these days. Have they ever?
-
Burt’s Buzz (Shapiro, 2013)
The film strives so hard to model its subject that its practically not there.

Manuscripts Don’t Burn (Rasoulof, 2013)
The setting of Manuscripts Don't Burn may be painstakingly specific, but its themes are broad, perhaps even universal. How much are we willing to risk, to sacrifice, for freedom of speech? Why does one act of violence seemingly begin a never ending chain?

Kids’ Rights: The Business of Adoption (Dudko and Rudnieva, 2014)
A new documentary claims that there are over 132 million orphans in state custody. In a given year, less than 1 in 500 of them will be adopted. Are restrictions against perspective parents too rigorous? Why are those willing to parent being turned away?
