Movies TV Shows
Own the Room (2021) 100% 3/4 EDIT “While Own the Room succeeds at offering a captivating look at its incredible subjects, it also avoids more complicated questions about how we can best support young people and help them achieve their dreams.” – RogerEbert.com Mar 12, 2021 Full Review Run This Town (2019) 43% 2/4 EDIT “This is well-trod territory in 2020, explored richly in any number of TV shows and films, and the choice to center Run This Town on Millennial malaise is an odd one.” – RogerEbert.com Mar 6, 2020 Full Review The Future (2011) 73% EDIT “I actually view this move as incredibly, unequivocally ballsy.” – The Nervous Breakdown Jun 25, 2019 Full Review Catfish (2010) 80% EDIT “Catfish ends up being a much more subversive film than many viewers are prepared to deal with...” – The Nervous Breakdown Jun 25, 2019 Full Review Obvious Child (2014) 90% EDIT “Obvious Child is sweetness swaddled in a dirty joke.” – The Rumpus Jun 25, 2019 Full Review Antichrist (2009) 53% EDIT “It is frightening because it takes an unflinching look at the power and complexity of our emotional lives, a power so great that it might in fact destroy us.” – The Rumpus Jun 25, 2019 Full Review Nymphomaniac: Volume I (2014) 77% EDIT “One of the things I love most about Nymphomaniac is its insistence on seeing sex as something that is important.” – The Rumpus Jun 25, 2019 Full Review Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) 86% EDIT “There is something sexy about the type of languid decay we see throughout Only Lovers Left Alive...” – The Rumpus Jun 25, 2019 Full Review The Kid (2019) 43% 1.5/4 EDIT “This relegation of female characters to the sidelines is depressing for a film released in 2019, especially because it seems entirely possible to have a film looking at masculinity without reducing women to archetypes.” – RogerEbert.com Mar 8, 2019 Full Review King in the Wilderness (2018) 100% 4/4 EDIT “A quiet and understated film, which lingers lovingly on its subject.” – RogerEbert.com Mar 30, 2018 Full Review
