3
|
This time, the result feels especially cruel for the sake of it.

|
The mere fact of the
documentary's aesthetic form doesn't elevate the material beyond the usual.
|
We
Live in Time
|
The back-and-forth structure of this film
forces us to think of this bittersweet tale on a bigger scale.
|
|
The
Apprentice
|
The Apprentice clearly contains some specific
truths about the man at its center and more general ones about human behavior.
|
Super/Man:
The Christopher Reeve Story
|
This is a very direct film about the man, the
actor, the advocate, and his legacy, and that might be its strongest quality.
|
Lonely

The good feelings toward this simple story are quickly
undone by a turn to the formulaic and the contrived.

Caddo
Lake
|
The puzzle itself is enticingly
intricate and constantly surprising.
|
Daddy's
Head
|
Daddy's Head
is about the all-enveloping nature of grief. The film is also a creepy and, at times, genuinely frightening horror
story.

|

to be funny that it's never sincere—or funny.
|
Falling
Stars
|
The filmmakers don't trust their
minimalist storytelling and control of tone quite enough.
