	Title Publication	Review Date	Rating	Quote
1.	Elemental New York Times	05/17/13	Good (Not Great)	"The filmmakers might have done better to commit to a single portrait and been more fearless about avoiding familiar oratory, but small steps are progress too."
2.	Free the Mind New York Times	05/03/13	Moderate	"...as it briskly shows the subjects' progress, broken up by dippy animations of neuron storms, it feels like a demonstration of a point."
3.	Unmade In China New York Times	05/03/13	Weak	"It is surprisingly boring to watch a movie being made, on the set or off, and a beleaguered production is not necessarily an exception.... unlovely..."
4.	An Oversimplification of Her Beauty New York Times	04/26/13	Excellent	"...a most lovely and meticulously handmade hodgepodge of art and feeling.... it memorializes the sweet angst of a certain kind of romantic limbo."
5.	Mortem New York Times	04/26/13	Fair	"...has that unfortunate double-edged quality of such singularly focused exercises: artful or, if the spell doesn't take, overwrought and even silly.... lacks bite..."
6.	American Meat New York Times	04/12/13	Moderate	"...takes a tack sympathetic to farmers in setting forth modern industrial farming's alternative, but it's still an advocacy film better suited for a class than for a cinema."
7.	The Brass Teapot New York Times	04/05/13	Moderate	"Ramaa Mosley and Tim Macy have game leads in Ms. Temple and the menschy Mr. Angarano. But the movie's best bits lose out to the requisite moral turnaround."
8.	Free Angela & All Political Prisoners New York Times	04/05/13	Very Good	"...a vivid portrait.... Ms. Davis retains an elegantly barbed wit.... Although the film approaches hagiography, she supplies a certain spark simply with her presence."
9.	6 Souls New York Times	04/05/13	Poor	"...the filmmakers' aversion to coherent narrative and genuinely suspenseful visuals keeps the movie's mystery stew from hitting the spot."
10.	No Place on Earth New York Times	04/05/13	Moderate	"Ms. Tobias's competent documentary doesn't quite rise to the challenge.... scenes of irrefutable drama can fade away when they feel like hurried backdrop to voice-over."
11.	The Revolutionary Optimists New York Times	03/29/13	Good (Not Great)	"...as heartening as it is to see a slum child tutored about vicious cycles of adversity and using the buzzword 'partnership' with aplomb, the film comes to feel cut and dried."
12.	Wrong New York Times	03/29/13	Fair	"...embracing Opposites Day as a screenwriting principle.... its misguided flatness is perhaps its fatal flaw, not so much deadpan or existential as just monotonous."
13.	Love and Honor (2013) New York Times	03/22/13	Poor	"...a story so clichéd and brainless that it's almost more disturbing than laughable.... The performances dissolve instantly in the mind without a trace..."
14.	You Don't Need Feet to Dance New York Times	03/22/13	Moderate	"Low-key to a fault... plunked somewhat unfortunately between the inspirational and the ordinary... surely there's more to say about Mr. Conde's art and life."
15.	Crazy & Thief New York Times	03/15/13	Weak	"Sweet in conception but a lost cause.... a fitful sidewalk daydream.... it might have been better off in a kid's-size portion as a short."
16.	Better Mus Come New York Times	03/15/13	Moderate	"...despite its cultural detail and fetching leads, this Jamaican director's colorful debut feature is undone by ragged scene construction, weak acting and a scattered script."
17.	Girl Rising New York Times	03/08/13	Good (Not Great)	"...hybrid results feature occasional bold strokes alongside ad-pitch eye candy and sleeve-tugging.... didactic in arguing the need for more educational opportunity..."
18.	The Unspeakable Act New York Times	03/01/13	Very Good	"Dan Sallitt lays down a customarily restrained mode of acting, but it's in the service of a rare lucidity about feeling."
19.	Genius on Hold New York Times	03/01/13	Weak	"...this promisingly tragic tale is sunk by cartloads of context and an overbearing, slanted narration.... muddy explanations on basic points of fact don't help."
20.	One Life (2013) New York Times	02/22/13	Good (Not Great)	"...a typically eye-catching, years-in-the-making chronicle of animal life that is tainted by the urge to anthropomorphize.... Nature-doc fans will recognize familiar sights..."
