The New Romantic (2018) 63% 3/5 EDIT “The New Romantic is, in many aspects, an old romantic in that capital-R way. A glorification of a past age thought to be lost... Neither she nor the plot quite reach the sublime, but the film is enjoyable nonetheless.” – The Mary Sue Nov 9, 2018 Full Review Set It Up (2018) 92% EDIT “It's ridiculously enjoyable. Set It Up is funny, charming, and lovable in the way that any decent romantic comedy should be.” – The Mary Sue Jun 18, 2018 Full Review The Girl Without Hands (2016) 95% 5/5 EDIT “As we continue to see animation progress and become more and more realistic, the French animated film The Girl Without Hands or La Jeune Fille sans mains is a reminder that the medium can be just as compelling with simple and evocative strokes” – The Mary Sue Dec 27, 2017 Full Review Victoria & Abdul (2017) 65% 1.5/5 EDIT “Karim doesn't need to be a fierce anti-colonial advocate-that might be a bit of a historical jump-but to try and focus on their human connection absent of the conflicts of nation feels dishonest or irresponsible.” – The Mary Sue Sep 21, 2017 Full Review Okja (2017) 87% 4.5/5 EDIT “It's one of Netflix's best original films.” – The Mary Sue Jun 29, 2017 Full Review My Cousin Rachel (2017) 76% 5/5 EDIT “As a mid-twentieth century writer revisiting the 19th century, du Maurier played with tropes and archetypes, and in this adaptation, Rachel Weisz as the title character is a sight to behold.” – The Mary Sue Jun 29, 2017 Full Review The Bad Batch (2016) 45% 2/5 EDIT “Despite an exciting premise that featured a Mad Max-esque lawless wasteland, Jason Momoa, Keanu Reeves, and cannibalism with the director of A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, the film was wholly underwhelming.” – The Mary Sue Jun 23, 2017 Full Review Cars 3 (2017) 70% 3.5/5 EDIT “Is it Toy Story 3 or Finding Dory? No, but it's an effective send-off to the Cars world and a good choice for the family.” – The Mary Sue Jun 16, 2017 Full Review A Suitable Girl (2017) 88% 5/5 EDIT “There are a lot of genuinely devastating moments in the film.” – The Mary Sue May 17, 2017 Full Review Tramps (2016) 91% EDIT “Tramps won't stay in your mind for days after, but it's a genuine delight.” – Film Inquiry May 9, 2017 Full Review My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea (2016) 84% 4/5 EDIT “With so much going on, this is a coming-of-age that doesn't really slow down.” – The Mary Sue Apr 27, 2017 Full Review The King (2017) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “With parallels to real-life scandals and offhanded references to moments like the June Democracy Movement... The King succeeds as a political drama invested in the constantly changing dynamics of power.” – The Mary Sue Jan 26, 2017 Full Review Sing (2016) 71% 2/5 EDIT “Despite having a star-filled cast and adorable animals I spent a great deal of the movie reminiscing about how much I enjoyed the animal world of Zootopia more.” – The Mary Sue Dec 31, 2016 Full Review The Neon Demon (2016) 59% 2/5 EDIT “Pushing aside the earlier predatory male character in favor of a "women eat each other alive, but literally" story makes it fall short for me.” – The Mary Sue Dec 31, 2016 Full Review Long Way North (2015) 98% 4.5/5 EDIT “It's a gorgeous treat.” – The Mary Sue Dec 31, 2016 Full Review The Handmaiden (2016) 96% 4.5/5 EDIT “Fan of [Park's] will no doubt be sucked in by the distinct style, cinematography, and lush colors.” – The Mary Sue Dec 30, 2016 Full Review Ocean Waves (1993) 89% 4/5 EDIT “I can understand this coming across as dull, but Ocean Waves' embrace of the everyday is really its strength.” – The Mary Sue Dec 30, 2016 Full Review
