Inequality for All (2013) - Rated 28 Sep 2013
"Robert Reich's message to America, much like director Jacob Kornbluth's uncomplicated film, is so simple and straightforward (you might even say obvious) that, without nitpicking, it can appear flawless." - Kalvin Henely

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (2013) - Rated 28 Sep 2013
"This sequel strenuously works to form a total inversion of the first movie's relationship with food." - Eric Henderson

The Lifeguard (2013) - Rated 28 Sep 2013
"The film heroically stretches out its governing water metaphor to a point that allows it to best Garden State's Guinness World Record for most incessant navel-gazing." - Ed Gonzalez

12 Years a Slave (2013) - Rated 28 Sep 2013
"Steve McQueen's impersonal approach to his subject matter isn't solely to blame for the failure of 12 Years a Slave, a safely anecdotal mosaic closer in spirit to Edward P. Jones's The Known World than to Toni Morrison's radically constructed Beloved." - Ed Gonzalez

Prisoners (2013) - Rated 28 Sep 2013
"Possibly year's most immaculate-looking drivel, a prismatically shot whodunit abundant in red herrings, but lacking in moral contemplation." - Ed Gonzalez

Battle of the Year (2013) - Rated 28 Sep 2013
"Remarkably, the highlight of Benson Lee's film, essentially a fiction reboot of his Planet B-Boy, isn't the scene where Chris Brown gets punched in the face." - Ed Gonzalez

Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013) - Rated 28 Sep 2013
"Abdellatif Kechiche reveals through his sense of composition, and collaboration with his remarkable actresses, a sensitivity to emotional nuance that's striking." - Ed Gonzalez

I Give It a Year (2013) - Rated 09 Aug 2013
"Much of the film's attempted laughs come from the comedy-of-discomfort school, with an endless array of situations that milk awkwardness to a degree that makes these scenes far more unpleasant than humorous to watch." - Andrew Schenker

Byzantium (2012) - Rated 09 Aug 2013
"Forlorn depictions of love and death may dignify Neil Jordan's film, but narrative withholding ultimately drives a stake into its unmistakable heart." - Ed Gonzalez
15 21%
The Purge (2013) - Rated 09 Aug 2013
"A rote home-invasion thriller afraid to be seen as just another rote home-invasion thriller, the film turgidly grasps for profundity by framing bloodlust as patriotic duty." - Ed Gonzalez
