Paper Towns

It's not that the book is bad, but it often gets caught up in trying to be deeper than it need be. Though the book is unlike a lot of other fairly known teenage comedies, everything feels inauthentic, from the trashy dialogue to the meandering plot. 

Trainwreck

Everything that I really liked in the trailer was not in the movie. When I re-watched it, it became apparent that these scenes built their relationship, and showed a deeper connection between the main characters

While We're Young

Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts portray a married couple who work in the field of documentary film. While Stiller has been working on the same, overworked film for ten years, Watts is trying to work through her own insecurities and disdain for a provincial life

Big Eyes

While the subject of the film is upsetting, it's not stirring enough to warrant any nominations. It's a run of the mill biopic dealing with an interesting if tepid subject. Second, it's a strange kind of film, for various reasons. It makes sense for Burton to gravitate towards this film, as it deals in curiously odd looking paintings

Tig

In 2012, at the Largo Theater, Tig Notaro gave an impressively legendary set where she talked about her recent battle with an intestinal infection, breast cancer, a breakup, and the death of her mother, all at the urging of Ira Glass. 

Adult Beginners

The boy who never grew up is a common trope, also explored in "Elizabethtown" and probably every indie film of the past ten years. Rose Byrne is the driving force for this film, as she balances between a soft sweetness and near internal combustion, in her performance as a woman who takes care of everyone.

Cake

What people remember most about this film was that Jennifer Aniston only wore a little, if no, makeup throughout the shooting of this film.  As huge as this is (sense the sarcasm?) what many others remember is everyone saying that Aniston was a contender for a Best Actress nomination at the 2015 Academy Awards. 

Citizenfour

 For his heroism, Snowden has been ridiculed, hunted, and slandered by everyone from the American public to the President of the United States. However you feel about Snowden, what he did was heroic

Fill the Void

 The biggest themes in most Jewish stories, seems to be the lack of parity between the secular and Orthodox. Burshtein has noted that there aren't many films about the positives of her community, and the closeness that faith affords.

Grizzly Man

The footage I am referring to comes from Treadwell's yearly summer adventures into the Alaskan wild. Equipped with very little, he camps in the brush, and makes friends with grizzly bears and foxes alike. 

Atari: Game Over

Penn even found the actual game programmer who made “E.T.” a game that many have claimed caused the demise of the super-giant Atari. He tells his side of the story, mostly saying that he did what he could in the time allotted.

Take Care

I’m not sure why we are rooting for them as a couple, especially when her ex has a new girlfriend, one that he seems to care about. He even tries to connect with his new girlfriend by having her meet his parents, and tells her her jealousy issues are ridiculous.
