Christine (1983) 72% 3.5/5 EDIT “The film rewards both [Arnie] and us with some of the strongest pieces of straightforward commercial filmmaking of Carpenter’s career.” – Slant Magazine Dec 16, 2025 Full Review The Wiz (1978) 38% 4/5 EDIT “Fueled by the finest, most aurally expensive-sounding suite of music Q ever mounted, the entire project arguably reaches its apotheosis in the centerpiece Emerald City sequence.” – Slant Magazine Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Barry Lyndon (1975) 78% EDIT “It isn’t vulgar to suggest that Kubrick may have identified with Barry the autodidact.” – Slant Magazine Jul 7, 2025 Full Review Viet and Nam (2024) 98% 3/4 EDIT “Truong Minh Quy’s new queer romance-cum-sociohistorical lament mines beauty from both collective desolation and individual endurance.” – Slant Magazine Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Querelle (1982) 65% EDIT “Pride is many things, but this year it’s mostly the cut of Brad Davis’s muscle shirt cradling his cleavage like no piece of cloth has this side of Marlon Brando’s Stanley Kowalski.” – Slant Magazine Jun 23, 2024 Full Review The Underdoggs (2024) 42% 2/4 EDIT “There’s only so much that director Charles Stone III can do with the script’s “head held high” cornpone.” – Slant Magazine Jan 25, 2024 Full Review American Fiction (2023) 93% 2.5/4 EDIT “Without spoiling its increasingly ludicrous (and ludicrously believable) escalations, American Fiction ultimately gets off scot-free clinging doggedly to the middle ground.” – Slant Magazine Dec 3, 2023 Full Review Rotting in the Sun (2023) 82% 3/4 EDIT “At once an excoriating satire of the performativity of homosexuality within a social media-addled community as well as a seemingly earnest lament for the total loss of collectivity, the film minces neither words nor bodily appendages.” – Slant Magazine Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Medusa Deluxe (2022) 72% 2/4 EDIT “Few, if any, single-shot movies ever justify the conceit. In fact, most of them do their material a disservice through the distraction that emerges naturally from the trickery.” – Slant Magazine Aug 8, 2023 Full Review Targets (1968) 89% EDIT “Far from a period piece, Targets’s contrasting tales capture a still-relevant portrait of America’s uniquely schizophrenic relationship with gun violence.” – Slant Magazine May 18, 2023 Full Review Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. (2023) 99% 3/4 EDIT “The sense that they don’t make mass entertainments like this anymore is palpable.” – Slant Magazine Apr 27, 2023 Full Review Head Over Heels (1979) 90% EDIT “Joan Micklin Silver’s humble PG-rated romantic dramedy is, in its brisk 95 minutes, a more adult entertainment than nearly any studio-backed film you could name from the past decade or so.” – Slant Magazine Apr 3, 2023 Full Review Imitation of Life (1934) 88% EDIT “The film remains a conscientious depiction of the bitter realities of race in America.” – Slant Magazine Jan 10, 2023 Full Review Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody (2022) 43% 2/4 EDIT “There are only clichés in this rise-and-fall material, with the sole distinctive wrinkle being the weight given to the rise versus the fall.” – Slant Magazine Dec 21, 2022 Full Review Blow Out (1981) 88% EDIT “It’s the death of the ‘60s and ‘70s that haunts Blow Out and has arguably inflated its reputation among those incapable of recognizing anything good in, say, The Fury.” – Slant Magazine Sep 9, 2022 Full Review Pink Flamingos (1972) 84% EDIT “Of course, every battle in their filth war is quite obviously filtered through John Waters’s legendarily up-is-down, wrong-is-right sense of humor.” – Slant Magazine Jun 21, 2022 Full Review The Girl Can't Help It (1956) 82% EDIT “Criterion’s set for The Girl Can’t Help It is going to look awfully smart on the shelf next to their forthcoming release of Pink Flamingos.” – Slant Magazine May 11, 2022 Full Review Written on the Wind (1956) 88% EDIT “Any time a film scholar tries to steer a Sirk conversation into dry academicism, remind them that, in Written on the Wind, a character rhumbas her father to death.” – Slant Magazine Mar 8, 2022 Full Review The Boys in the Band (2020) 85% 2/4 EDIT “This new Boys in the Band is a Matryoshka doll of period piecery, a flashback of a flashback of a flashback.” – Slant Magazine Sep 26, 2020 Full Review You Don't Nomi (2019) 89% 2.5/4 EDIT “Has the time come to ask if the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction?” – Slant Magazine Jun 10, 2020 Full Review Skyscraper (2018) 48% 1.5/4 EDIT “Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is the true Tower of Babel, the movie star who with each film gets closer to God and whose films always come tumbling down around him.” – Slant Magazine Jul 12, 2018 Full Review Tag (2018) 55% 2.5/4 EDIT “It offers amity, emotional support, awkward tears, the specter of death, and the spectacle of ass-punching slapstick all rolled up in one somehow cohesive collection of all-good spare parts.” – Slant Magazine Jun 14, 2018 Full Review That Summer (2017) 84% 2.5/4 EDIT “The makers of this rescued-footage documentary ultimately understand the power of its subjects' personalities.” – Slant Magazine May 17, 2018 Full Review Life of the Party (2018) 38% EDIT “Novelty and Melissa McCarthy's comedic chops only carry Life of the Party to midterms, and it soon becomes apparent that it's a star vehicle without any engine.” – Slant Magazine May 10, 2018 Full Review Rampage (2018) 51% 1.5/4 EDIT “It's a wonder that a video game from the 1980s could efficiently set its premise up in a single cut scene, but a major Hollywood production in 2018 can't seem to get beyond mere exposition in its 107-minute running time.” – Slant Magazine Apr 11, 2018 Full Review
