Onward (2020) 88% EDIT “By the time Onward's skillful, moving climax rolls around, it's clear that the important things here aren't the magic spells or the long-lost maps. The important things are the fears and hopes of a sometimes strong, sometimes fragile family.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Mar 5, 2020 Full Review Uncut Gems (2019) 91% EDIT “The Safdies aren't interested in morality tales but amorality tales, and their stories' no-holds-barred recklessness, while at first freeing, steadily grows exhausting. Thankfully, the Safdies also know how to shoot, cut, and score like nobody else.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Dec 19, 2019 Full Review Marriage Story (2019) 95% EDIT “What makes Marriage Story so remarkable isn't just how deeply Baumbach, Driver, and Johansson care about these characters, but how effectively the movie captures something that's impossible to put into words: The feeling of life as it changes.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Dec 12, 2019 Full Review Knives Out (2019) 97% EDIT “Knives Out quickly spirals into unexpected territory.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Dec 3, 2019 Full Review Dark Waters (2019) 89% EDIT “Art-house director Todd Haynes (Far From Heaven, Carol) oversees things here, capturing Dark Waters' sickening story in chilly blues and jaundiced yellows while knowing exactly how to get the most from his cast.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Nov 26, 2019 Full Review The Irishman (2019) 95% EDIT “The end result is still stunning: A saga that's horrifying and funny and melancholy, sometimes in different scenes, sometimes all at once.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Nov 18, 2019 Full Review The Report (2019) 83% EDIT “Expertly distilling an infinitely complicated, infinitely disturbing chain of events, writer/director Scott Z. Burns follows the efforts of increasingly troubled Senate staffer Daniel Jones.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Nov 18, 2019 Full Review Doctor Sleep (2019) 78% EDIT “Sure, Flanagan's no Kubrick, but he does pull off the too-rare trick of capturing the sprawling, earnest, weird vibe of a decent Stephen King novel, where the grotesque usually walks hand-in-hand with silliness.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Nov 12, 2019 Full Review The Lighthouse (2019) 90% EDIT “Things get weird, and sad, and unexpectedly touching; Dafoe and Pattinson are both great, and if you're going to descend into Eggers's particular brand of fraught, bleak madness, one could hardly ask for better company.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Oct 31, 2019 Full Review Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) 70% EDIT “If nothing else, Dark Fate has one thing going for it: Sarah Connor. Linda Hamilton is back, which means there's a Terminator movie worth watching again.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Oct 31, 2019 Full Review Jojo Rabbit (2019) 81% EDIT “There's more to the complicated Jojo Rabbit than first appears, and only a director as committed, inventive, and life-affirmingly good-hearted as Waititi would even have a chance of pulling it off. He does, to unforgettable effect.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Oct 31, 2019 Full Review The Laundromat (2019) 42% EDIT “Maybe it was wrong to expect something along the lines of Adam McKay's excellent The Big Short, which examined a similarly complicated matter with sharp, gutsy wit, but where it should cut, The Laundromat merely leaves a faint bruise.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Oct 24, 2019 Full Review Memory: The Origins of Alien (2019) 81% EDIT “Plenty of the clips in Memory feature Ripley, but Weaver herself is MIA, and making an Alien documentary without Weaver is... well, it's about as good of an idea as making any other Alien movie without her.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Oct 8, 2019 Full Review Ad Astra (2019) 83% EDIT “If Ad Astra doesn't quite get there, it's not for lack of ambition, but rather the limits of even a movie screen to contain both the mind-breaking vastness of space and the quiet, internal emptiness that can feel just as big, and just as terrifying.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Sep 16, 2019 Full Review Tigers Are Not Afraid (2017) 97% EDIT “While it isn't as graceful or inventive as Cronos or The Devil's Backbone, it subtly, effectively creates a sense of something being deeply wrong-both in our world and, perhaps, in one that's right next to it.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 29, 2019 Full Review Mike Wallace Is Here (2019) 95% EDIT “Mike Wallace Is Here remains clear-eyed and hard-hitting, just as, one imagines, the no-bullshit Wallace would have wanted it.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 29, 2019 Full Review Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood (2019) 86% EDIT “Even for all its sadness and threats of doom, Tarantino's film remains laugh-out-loud hilarious the whole goddamn time-you're going to want to see this with a crowd, to hear both the laughs and the screams, particularly during one remarkable sequence.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 14, 2019 Full Review The Dead Don't Die (2019) 55% EDIT “It's goofy, gory, and great, and it's exactly the kind of rambling, lighthearted movie that should never be discussed using obnoxious phrases like "astonishingly rich oeuvre."” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jun 10, 2019 Full Review Aniara (2018) 70% EDIT “For those onboard with its relentless, brutal fatalism, Aniara is remarkable.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) May 22, 2019 Full Review Meeting Gorbachev (2018) 86% EDIT “Particularly given America's current relations with Russia, Meeting Gorbachev feels disarmingly affectionate-"Everything about Gorbachev was genuine," Herzog reflects-but the director never loses his usual clear-eyed gaze.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) May 22, 2019 Full Review Deadwood: The Movie (2019) 98% EDIT “There are punches and shoot-outs, and fiery speeches and glimpses of tenderness, and it's all beautiful and ugly, welcoming and dangerous. It's Deadwood.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) May 22, 2019 Full Review John Wick: Chapter 3 -- Parabellum (2019) 89% EDIT “John Wick: Chapter 3-Parabellum is just as good and fun and bats--t as the series' previous installments.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) May 20, 2019 Full Review Hail Satan? (2019) 96% EDIT “That's a fact that seems ominously and increasingly forgotten in Trump's America, so forget about the question mark. Hail Satan.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Apr 25, 2019 Full Review The Beach Bum (2019) 58% EDIT “Personally, I derive a great amount of entertainment value from these things, but your mileage, I assume, will vary.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Apr 8, 2019 Full Review MacGruber (2010) 47% EDIT “It's pretty fantastic, is what I'm getting at.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Mar 30, 2019 Full Review
