    DIY Spirit Alive and Well in "Zombie Girl: The Movie"

    by Eric Kohn on August 14, 2009

    The movie brat spirit is alive and well, judging by the determination of Emily Hagins, the twelve-year-old subject of "Zombie Girl: The Movie." With the help of family, friends and a surprisingly generous grant, Hagins managed to complete a feature-length undead saga at a time when most kids are gra...

    The Way of All Flesh: Gyorgy Palfi's "Taxidermia"

    by Eric Hynes on August 12, 2009

    A three-course ordeal of icky sex, Olympian gluttony, and autoerotic dismemberment, Gyorgy Palfi's "Taxidermia" is consistently vile. Yet it's also a sustained, unique work of art, and well worth the mess. A triptych, the first two sections of which are based on stories by Hungarian writer Lajos Par...

    The Valley of Indecision: Andrew Bujalski's "Beeswax"

    by Michael Koresky on August 8, 2009

    Over-under-articulators might be the best way to describe the characters in the films of Andrew Bujalski. This of course is also a fairly apt encapsulation of the performance approach in many of the entries in the dare-not-speak-its-name American indie movement that Bujalski unwittingly jumpstarted ...

    Sci-fi, Futurism and Alternate Reality: "Second Skin" Scores Between Hobby and Addiction

    by Eric Kohn on August 6, 2009

    Juan Carlos Pineiro's "Second Skin" borrows from several contemporary movie traditions. As a portrait of hardcore online gamers, it has elements of sci-fi and futurism in its vision of an entire society based in the digital realm. But people devoted to staying up all night on a "World of Warcraft" b...

    Life, The Movie: Bill and Turner Ross' "45365"

    by Eric Kohn on July 31, 2009

    Cinema vérité writ large and literal, "45365" offers a supremely detailed look at daily routines in small town America. Focusing on a huge ensemble of characters residing in Sidney, Ohio — the movie's the titular zipcode — sibling filmmakers Turner and Bill Ross capture the minutiae of a self-contai...

    Even Better Than the Real Thing: Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne's "Lorna's Silence"

    by Jeff Reichert on July 30, 2009

    Initial word from Cannes on "Lorna's Silence" generally dismissed the Dardennes' latest as a bit of comedown from the dizzy heights of international critical admiration that greeted "Rosetta," "The Son," and "L'Enfant." Even if their new film managed to eke out a Best Screenplay award (not quite th...

    American Saga: "The Entrepreneur" Rides the Moneymaking Roller Coaster

    by Eric Kohn on July 23, 2009

    Jonathan Bricklin's "The Entrepreneur" is the "Death of a Salesman" of car movies. That's not to say it reveals the depths of character explored in Arthur Miller's classic text, but Bricklin does succeed at showing the precise mayhem of the business and the tragedy of missing the finish line. A port...
