Asteroid City (2023) 76% EDIT “For someone as memed as Wes Anderson, you’d think he’d stop surprising us. ” – Matinee Idle Oct 28, 2023 Full Review Dumb Money (2023) 84% EDIT “Memes sometimes have a way of making a joke of their reference object but not at the reference’s expense. That's Dumb Money.” – Matinee Idle Oct 28, 2023 Full Review The Holdovers (2023) 97% EDIT “Nothing too cheerful and no one too caustic, apparently this is what’s been missing from the Christmas movie canon: a Payne pop music movie in a minor key.” – Phindie Oct 28, 2023 Full Review Fingernails (2023) 60% EDIT “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’s introverted gothic sister, Fingernails employs a sweetly laid, nimble metaphor to explore both the complacency in relationships and the arbitrary ties that bind.” – Phindie Oct 28, 2023 Full Review The French Dispatch (2021) 75% EDIT “The French Dispatch has something darker operating beneath its agile dialogue and energetic business.” – Phindie Oct 27, 2021 Full Review Bo Burnham: Inside (2021) 95% EDIT “It was bound to be clever. It was bound to be enlightening. But the degree of devastation that "Inside" imposes on you isn't like anything you'd expect or could prepare for.” – The NitPic Jul 6, 2021 Full Review The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020) 89% EDIT “Intentionally or not, The Trial of the Chicago 7 is an exquisite display of the white man's role in the American political and judicial systems, for better and worse.” – The NitPic Dec 12, 2020 Full Review Tesla (2020) 58% EDIT “This film lacks the fundamental element that made Tesla's AC current so innovative: there is absolutely no spark.” – The NitPic Sep 7, 2020 Full Review Boys State (2020) 95% EDIT “If Boys State is a microcosm of our political system (the lack of girls notwithstanding), of the youth participating in it and their dedication to the cause, have so, so, so much hope.” – The NitPic Aug 14, 2020 Full Review Shirley (2020) 88% EDIT “'Shirley' imagines the unconventional woman as societal terrorist, capable of profound, delectable corruption.” – The NitPic Jun 23, 2020 Full Review The Purge: Anarchy (2014) 58% EDIT “The world-building of this movie is so lazy that anything built upon it cannot be of any substance, because the foundation is too weak.” – The NitPic Dec 16, 2019 Full Review Jersey Boys (2014) 51% EDIT “Whatever you call it, it operates under the same purpose as trying to fit a donut through a keyhole.” – The NitPic Dec 16, 2019 Full Review Ida (2013) 95% EDIT “If life is made up of small moments, Ida is a full-length mirror.” – The NitPic Dec 16, 2019 Full Review Boyhood (2014) 97% EDIT “Stylistically, Boyhood is exceptional, and Linklater's foresight with technology and culture is something to be revered.” – The NitPic Dec 16, 2019 Full Review The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 (2014) 70% EDIT “Enjoy Mockingjay - Part One for the function it serves to set up the finale, and let's look forward to Mockingjay - Part Two. I think a year from now, hindsight will prove that we were all satisfied with The Middle Middle Child.” – The NitPic Dec 16, 2019 Full Review Paranormal Activity (2007) 82% EDIT “It's one thing to create a movie that functions as good narrative storytelling, but it's another to create that movie knowing exactly how an audience is going to react to stimuli.” – The NitPic Dec 12, 2019 Full Review Three Identical Strangers (2018) 96% EDIT “The film has a thesis, which is incredibly refreshing for a documentary. It wraps up both the narrative it constructed, and offers its audience a little nugget of hope...” – The NitPic Dec 12, 2019 Full Review Pawn Sacrifice (2014) 73% EDIT “Perhaps for a chess enthusiast Baby Boomer, this film has more to offer, but that is a narrow core audience for which a movie should be produced.” – The NitPic Dec 11, 2019 Full Review In the Heart of the Sea (2015) 42% EDIT “In the Heart of the Sea is a confused film.” – The NitPic Dec 11, 2019 Full Review Hannah Gadsby: Nanette (2018) 100% EDIT “Gadsby realized that turning her pain into comedy actually forced her to create a specific narrative of her own life that she repeated night after night until it became her reality.” – The NitPic Dec 11, 2019 Full Review There Will Be Blood (2007) 91% EDIT “There Will Be Blood was so good that it's making me rethink those last three PTA features.” – The NitPic Dec 11, 2019 Full Review It Follows (2014) 95% EDIT “So many people are being moved to think and feel things that this movie doesn't actually provide, which is usually a good thing. It just didn't happen for me.” – Phindie Dec 11, 2019 Full Review Breathe (2014) 93% EDIT “Breathe is so adept at restraint, it even knows how to use silence to its advantage. It's a film that actually allows itself to breathe.” – Phindie Dec 11, 2019 Full Review Ex Machina (2014) 92% EDIT “Garland's finest achievement may be his old-fashioned faith in science-fiction as an engine for profound parables about the state of humanity.” – Phindie Dec 11, 2019 Full Review True Story (2015) 45% EDIT “After the title is shown, the movie begins an unfortunate, gradual, steady decline.” – Phindie Dec 11, 2019 Full Review
