It Ain't Over (2022) 98% 3/4 EDIT “I’m convinced. I’ll happily agree with what Billy Crystal says in the film, that Berra is “the most overlooked superstar in the history of baseball.”” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch May 17, 2023 Full Review American Underdog (2021) 75% 3/4 EDIT “Each scene has its obvious purpose; you can almost see the scaffolding of the script behind the words. And yet.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Dec 23, 2021 Full Review The Gateway (2021) 50% 3/4 EDIT “It's an uneven film, though the scale is tipped more to the side of being compelling.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Sep 2, 2021 Full Review The Suicide Squad (2021) 90% 3/4 EDIT “Some movies leave you wanting more. "The Suicide Squad" is a blast, for a while, but it leaves you wanting less.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Aug 4, 2021 Full Review Hillbilly Elegy (2020) 24% 1.5/4 EDIT “It is as if Howard does not fully understand the people whose story he is telling, so he feels compelled to force-feed the audience with the obvious points he is trying to make.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Nov 20, 2020 Full Review Tenet (2020) 70% 2/4 EDIT “Maybe you could follow what is happening if you wrote it all down on a flow chart with circles and arrows and multiple colored inks, but it wouldn't be worth the effort - and that's hard to do in a dark movie theater.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Sep 3, 2020 Full Review Waves (2019) 84% 2/4 EDIT “It's a tangential film, or perhaps elliptical. It approaches its ideas from the side without ever actually coming straight at them.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Dec 6, 2019 Full Review Harriet (2019) 74% 2/4 EDIT “"Harriet" plays more as the kind of movie that would be shown to a high school class studying the pre-Civil War era.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Nov 1, 2019 Full Review Lucy in the Sky (2019) 21% 1.5/4 EDIT “It's contemplative and meditative, sure, but it doesn't wind up saying anything.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Oct 11, 2019 Full Review Downton Abbey (2019) 84% 3/4 EDIT “It all builds to such a cacophony of triumph and fulfillment that you can expect a lot of happy sniffling in the audience.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Sep 18, 2019 Full Review Brightburn (2019) 57% 2.5/4 EDIT “The acting is frankly better than it has to be for a horror film, and the overall idea is clever.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch May 24, 2019 Full Review Destroyer (2018) 74% 2.5/4 EDIT “In some respects, "Destroyer" plays like a movie that would ordinarily go straight to Showtime, and only a few things help it rise above that level to reach a state of mediocrity.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Jan 18, 2019 Full Review Mary Queen of Scots (2018) 62% 2/4 EDIT “Ronan deserves better. And so do we.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Dec 14, 2018 Full Review Big Kill (2018) 25% 1.5/4 EDIT “"Big Kill" plays on the screen for a little more than two hours. But at best it contains maybe 30 minutes of story.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Dec 6, 2018 Full Review The Front Runner (2018) 58% 2.5/4 EDIT “As played by an aloof Hugh Jackman - the Australian actor affects an uneven accent - Hart is little more than a cipher.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Nov 22, 2018 Full Review Day One (2018) EDIT “You can't help but be inspired by "Day One." It's a story of truly good people doing truly good work.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Nov 5, 2018 Full Review Where the Rainbow Ends (1999) EDIT “It is a film that is full of the stuff that gets cut out of other documentaries: phones ringing, people clearing their throats before speaking, the pleasantries exchanged before the conversation truly begins.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Nov 5, 2018 Full Review Swimming to Ferguson (2018) 2/4 EDIT “As a movie, it flails in the water and swims against the tide.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Sep 13, 2018 Full Review White Boy Rick (2018) 56% 3/4 EDIT “Demange coaxes a mostly passable performance out of Merritt - it's not bad for a debut - and a quietly nuanced one from McConaughey.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Sep 13, 2018 Full Review Jeremiah Tower: The Last Magnificent (2016) 84% 3/4 EDIT “Though you may be tempted, do not run screaming from "Jeremiah Tower: The Last Magnificent" after the first two minutes.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Jun 8, 2017 Full Review Love the Coopers (2015) 19% 2/4 EDIT “It should say something about the film that one of the least unhappy characters in it is the one who has attempted suicide.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Nov 12, 2015 Full Review
