A Chiara 2021
"In his third film, Carpignano once again uses a tight, intimate character focus to take a wider look at larger political and cultural issues in this region. In the poetically, humanistically crafted “A Chiara,” he also manages to flip the Mafia movie on its head, and in doing so, challenges the mythology that keeps these shadowy systems in power. "

The Bob's Burgers Movie 2022
"It’s this combo that makes “The Bob’s Burgers Movie” not only work but sing as one of the funniest, smartest and most unique summer movies of the year, the kind of lighthearted, charming, low-stakes and incredibly intelligent entertainment that is all too rare. “Bob’s Burgers” is on its own wavelength, and it’s simply a treat to take that wave for a ride."
