Four Lions 2010
A film that will stay with you for a while. I'm still reeling from it, honestly.

The Imposter 2012
Expertly crafted documentary. Dark and ominous from the outset. The interviews tell the story perfectly. I had read a New Yorker article on the subject, so the material was not unfamiliar to me, but I still found this telling totally compelling. This film should have received more attention last year; it deserves an audience.

Searching for Sugar Man 2012
The reception for Rodriguez at the first South African concert brought a tear to my eye. Wonderful.

Ghost World 2001
I was at the world premiere for this film, held at the Egyptian Theater during the Seattle International Film Festival. My expectations were high, as I loved the graphic novel. I wasn't disappointed. Terry Zwigoff gets the tone just right in the film. I have re-watched the film a number of times since. It remains a favorite.
