Eric Langberg

Tomatometer-approved critic
Biography:

Eric Langberg is a writer and freelance critic based in Los Angeles. He loves classic Hollywood dramas and loud new blockbusters, and he adores both trashy slashers and "elevated" horror — though he doesn't like that term. One October he watched and reviewed 31 horror movies in 31 days, but the 25 made-for-TV Christmas movies he watched and reviewed that December were, in many ways, more disturbing.

The Stringer: The Man Who Took the Photo (2025) 92% EDIT “This is a fascinating film, a riveting journalistic endeavor that will stand as one of the best movies of the year in any category. It’s moving and sad, both maddening and mystifying.” – Everything's Interesting Nov 23, 2025 Full Review Rebel Without a Cause (1955) 91% EDIT “When you’re a teenager, petty arguments with your parents do seem like the end of the world, and Rebel understands and remembers that in ways most movies do not. ” – Everything's Interesting Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Happyend (2024) 98% EDIT “... simultaneously a touching coming-of-age story about two high school best friends who hang on the precipice of adulthood, while also being a thriller about the moral necessity of resistance to authoritarianism” – Everything's Interesting Oct 21, 2025 Full Review The Mastermind (2025) 90% EDIT “There were many walkouts. A guy in my row snored loudly for like fifteen minutes somewhere in the middle. There was much audible consternation when the credits rolled. Great film!” – Everything's Interesting Oct 14, 2025 Full Review Urchin (2025) 96% EDIT “Harris Dickinson has already cemented himself as a great actor; here, he proves himself to be a tremendous director of actors. The film stars Frank Dillane as a man named Mike, and it’s one of the best performances of the year.” – Everything's Interesting Oct 14, 2025 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% EDIT “It plays like a gripping anxiety attack on celluloid, locking us in with a phenomenal actress for almost two hours as she faces the slow unraveling of every single facet of her life. What a journey.” – Everything's Interesting Oct 11, 2025 Full Review Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) 77% EDIT “[Jennifer Lopez is] utterly captivating, impossible to look away from; you completely buy that a lonely gay boy would be obsessed with every swish of her hips as she swans about the screen in dresses dripping with sparkles.” – Everything's Interesting Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Bone Lake (2024) 84% EDIT “There are some clear budgetary considerations at play here—sometimes the editing gets clunky, hiding a gore effect or violent stunt they couldn’t pull off—but it’s easy to forgive that stuff when there’s so much clear intention bursting from every frame.” – Everything's Interesting Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Doin' It (2024) 50% EDIT “Despite its noble intentions, this is one of the worst movies of the year, and I fear that describing why — that simply typing out some of the things that happen in this film — will get me put on some kind of list.” – Everything's Interesting Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Plainclothes (2025) 83% EDIT “This is a movie all about the erotics of shame, about the way that gay men throughout history had to find their own spaces, their own forms of communication, of expressing attraction ... It’s one of the best movies of the year.” – Everything's Interesting Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Flamingo Camp (2025) EDIT “This is, above all, a work of radical empathy.” – Everything's Interesting Sep 15, 2025 Full Review The Big Johnson (2025) EDIT “The documentary brilliantly conveys that, while drag is now a viable career path to fame and fortune, it used to be a provocative, dangerous, daring art form… and perhaps it could be again, if we follow Dean’s lead.” – Everything's Interesting Sep 14, 2025 Full Review Maxxie LaWow: Drag Super-shero (2025) EDIT “It knows exactly who its audience is, and it doesn’t spend a moment trying to explain things to people who were never going to be on board. At its best, snappiest moments, the jokes fly fast and furious — and fierce and fabulous.” – Everything's Interesting Sep 12, 2025 Full Review The History of Sound (2025) 70% EDIT “Sometimes it seems like [Josh O'Connor] is holding back the biggest, most charismatic grin you’ve ever seen, and sometimes he seems like he’s barely hiding the pain of the saddest boy in the world.” – Everything's Interesting Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Preparation for the Next Life (2025) 97% EDIT “By keeping its focus on these two people in love — these two achingly-human characters portrayed by two incredible actors — Preparation for the Next Life makes visible the [human] toll of talking about things like immigration enforcement in the abstract.” – Everything's Interesting Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Twinless (2025) 97% EDIT “Suffice it to say that this is one of the best movies of the year, an instant queer classic, and the kind of movie you’ll want to watch all over again as soon as you’ve seen how it all plays out.” – Everything's Interesting Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Riefenstahl (2024) 97% EDIT “Is this a case of deep, deep denial, or is it deception? Using her own archive, [director Andres] Veiel essentially gives Riefenstahl enough rope to hang herself.” – Everything's Interesting Sep 3, 2025 Full Review Taxi to the Toilet (1980) 96% EDIT “Taxi Zum Klo deserves to be remembered alongside the films of Rainer Werner Fassbinder — which [Frank] Ripploh himself occasionally acted in — as a seminal work of queer art. Pun intended.” – Everything's Interesting Sep 1, 2025 Full Review We Are Your Friends (2015) 40% EDIT “We Are Your Friends finds a generation and a country on the precipice of… something, a generation holding its breath while it wants to see what that something might be ... It's 2015, and we can tell the bottom is about to fall out of the world.” – Everything's Interesting Aug 29, 2025 Full Review Went Up the Hill (2024) 67% EDIT “There’s a peculiar, quasi-incestuous queerness coursing through this movie, managing to find something genuinely provocative and gender-bent about a man and woman kissing ... It’s as sensual as it is upsetting.” – Everything's Interesting Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Witchboard (2024) 59% EDIT “Unlike his main character, Chuck Russell knows exactly what kind of energy he’s tapping into; even and especially when the visual effects are low-budget and distracting, they have a certain charm, a certain gonzo, doing-whatever spirit. ” – Everything's Interesting Aug 25, 2025 Full Review The Knife (2024) 91% EDIT “While the limited scope and precise, talky dialogue make the movie feel like it could work as a play, Asomugha has chosen to shoot his film largely in closeup, and you simply can’t get the same effect on the stage.” – Everything's Interesting Aug 22, 2025 Full Review Eden (2024) 58% EDIT “This movie is not the serious, thrilling drama it seems to have been intended to be—that lighting is so droll—but it is a deliciously campy soap opera of a movie, full of cattiness, backstabbing, and one hell of a delightful performance from Ana de Armas.” – Everything's Interesting Aug 18, 2025 Full Review Americana (2025) 63% EDIT “I don’t really know what to do with the Sydney Sweeney of it all, but I suppose this movie will be easy enough to ignore because it’s simply not all that good.” – Everything's Interesting Aug 16, 2025 Full Review Splitsville (2025) 84% EDIT “Covino and Marvin’s script is whip-smart, featuring almost-nonstop dialogue that bounces the characters off one another in increasingly-convoluted, emotionally-heightened ways.” – Everything's Interesting Aug 15, 2025 Full Review
