Pokémon Detective Pikachu (2019) 68% EDIT “Pokémon Detective Pikachu, despite the unwieldy official title, is an accessible movie. It skews young, but it never condescends to any demographic.” – Trespass May 10, 2019 Full Review Avengers: Endgame (2019) 94% EDIT “It would be accurate to say that a lot of the film is designed for crowd-pleasing, but that is nowhere near saying that it panders to fans. The film celebrates and revels in the franchise without seeming self-indulgent.” – Trespass Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Shazam! (2019) 90% EDIT “The greatest element of Shazam! is that it doesn't fall into the trap of earnestness. It is not ashamed to embrace the more outré elements of the comic book universe.” – Trespass Apr 5, 2019 Full Review Pet Sematary (2019) 57% EDIT “Shored up by confident performances and mostly impressive production design, Pet Sematary is not afraid to be pessimistic without nihilism.” – Trespass Apr 5, 2019 Full Review Us (2019) 93% EDIT “Either viewing it on a surface level or tunnelling deep into its mythos, Us is a richly composed film that succeeds on every level. Even its more contentious elements are still a sign of the victory that Peele exerts over the cinema-goer.” – Trespass Mar 29, 2019 Full Review Fighting With My Family (2019) 93% EDIT “A buoyant, sunny movie, driven by performances from a cast unafraid of charming vulgarity.” – Trespass Mar 25, 2019 Full Review Captain Marvel (2019) 79% EDIT “It is unfortunate that Danvers can fly effortlessly and Samuel L. Jackson can almost recapture his younger self, but the movie cannot stretch itself to make computer-generated cables and flying cats seem natural.” – Trespass Mar 8, 2019 Full Review If Beale Street Could Talk (2018) 95% EDIT “If Beale Street Could Talk is an evergreen movie that focuses not solely on the injustice that its characters face, but on the love that suffuses them.” – Trespass Feb 21, 2019 Full Review Happy Death Day 2U (2019) 73% EDIT “Happy Death Day 2 U is the Super Mario Bros. 2 of movie sequels: it has many of the same elements, while adapting and changing enough to make a separate but still enjoyable experience.” – Trespass Feb 21, 2019 Full Review The Hate U Give (2018) 97% EDIT “The Hate U Give may never stop being relative, or it may one day be a quaint reminder of systematic injustice. Regardless of what the future holds, The Hate U Give stands for something worth considering.” – Trespass Feb 1, 2019 Full Review Aquaman (2018) 66% EDIT “With charismatic leads and some sublime visuals that overpower the ridiculous, Aquaman is DC's second good movie and first real statement piece since 2013.” – Trespass Dec 26, 2018 Full Review Bumblebee (2018) 91% EDIT “Though his hand on the musical cues is heavy, Knight's touch is light on the film as a whole, and Bumblebee breathes.” – Trespass Dec 20, 2018 Full Review Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) 97% EDIT “Showing a flawless understanding of the comic-book aesthetic and storytelling without sacrificing its cinematic qualities, Into the Spider-Verse is a deeply satisfying film for comic fans that has more than enough to offer everyone else.” – Trespass Dec 12, 2018 Full Review Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018) 98% EDIT “McCarthy is a powerhouse who isn't afraid to teeter between being deeply sympathetic and completely repellent. It's a performance that brings out the essential ambivalence that Israel, as written, feels about herself.” – Trespass Dec 5, 2018 Full Review Lean on Pete (2017) 90% EDIT “This is realism almost too gritty to take, but with just enough light mixed in so that we keep looking to the horizon.” – Trespass Nov 29, 2018 Full Review Love at Least (2018) EDIT “A drama with many low points, but it allows room for hope. With a well-realised central performance that brings its lead a rare dimensionality, Love at Least is a relationship drama that makes the outlandish credible.” – Trespass Nov 26, 2018 Full Review Ribâzu ejji (2018) 75% EDIT “A two-hour drudgery that solves a mystery whose answer was never pressing with the silliest possible solution. There's a wide chasm between realism and misanthropy, and River's Edge falls on the wrong side of that gap.” – Trespass Nov 20, 2018 Full Review One Cut of the Dead (2017) 100% EDIT “If you want something fun and slightly cerebral to chew on while your own brains are being chewed on, One Cut of the Dead is the intelligent zombie movie you need.” – Trespass Nov 16, 2018 Full Review The Old Man & the Gun (2018) 93% EDIT “Redford has said that he wanted to go out on a fun note, and that is an accurate description of this movie.” – Trespass Nov 16, 2018 Full Review Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) 36% EDIT “A strangely charmless and excessively dingy film. Too long and static for anyone but the most die hard, with neither a richness of tone nor colour, this is a film guaranteed to sell tickets at the cost of its own soul.” – Trespass Nov 14, 2018 Full Review The Girl in the Spider's Web (2018) 38% EDIT “The Girl in the Spider's Web is a frozen techno-thriller that makes sense of all of the movies that were never made before it.” – Trespass Nov 9, 2018 Full Review A Star Is Born (2018) 90% EDIT “A drama with credible songs in it that elevates an outré personality into a legitimate actress, a vanity project with none of the vanity.” – Trespass Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Bad Times at the El Royale (2018) 75% EDIT “An imperfect movie, and one impossible to pigeonhole, but it offers more delights than many bigger films.” – Trespass Oct 15, 2018 Full Review A Simple Favor (2018) 84% EDIT “Paul Feig saw the base elements of the mess that was A Simple Favour's original form and reassembled them into a stylish semi-thriller that places a high priority on entertainment, be it mild mystery and intrigue or intentional humour.” – Trespass Sep 17, 2018 Full Review Crazy Rich Asians (2018) 91% EDIT “You can celebrate Crazy Rich Asians for many reasons, and all of them are valid - it's an unambiguously well made and well intentioned movie that does not lead the viewer into hell.” – Trespass Sep 4, 2018 Full Review
