    The Unknown Girl (Dardenne & Dardenne, 2016)

    Why do we hate her inscrutability so much? Why do we want another, more cynical explanation except, perhaps, to feel better about ourselves? Why is it so much easier to be inspired by and cheer the one big gesture than the daily minute ones?

    3 Days of Terror: The Charlie Hebdo Attacks (Reed, 2016)

    In fifty-nine exhausting minutes, the film deftly interweaves archival footage of Paris in January of 2015. In a seventy-two hour span, attacks from ISIS and Al-Qaeda targeted the offices of Charlie Hebdo and a related standoff at a kosher supermarket in the same city.

    An Art That Nature Makes: The Work of Rosamond Purcell (Bernstein, 2015)

    Fragile World (Boikian, 2014)

    Fragile World maintains a childlike quality throughout, from August’s self-proclaimed Peter Pan complex to Rosalie’s haircut. Even as the film explores mental illness and homelessness, the innocence displayed by its characters and the bright, sunny shots emphasize its message of finding hope in the darkest of situations.
