Dolemite Is My Name (2019) 97% EDIT “By refusing to turn Rudy or any of his peers into a joke, Dolemite manages to be a loving ode to Blaxploitation and Black independent filmmaking while still being one of the funniest films of the year so far.” – Film Inquiry Oct 5, 2019 Full Review Random Acts of Violence (2019) 59% EDIT “The restraint and nuance Baruchel shows, both as director and actor, in Random Acts of Violence, provides an exciting window into a potential new stage in this artist's career.” – Film Inquiry Sep 28, 2019 Full Review First Love (2019) 98% EDIT “It is true that First Love doesn't stay with you the same way some of Miike's more recent work does, but that doesn't stop it from being a riveting entry on its own.” – Film Inquiry Sep 25, 2019 Full Review VHYes (2019) 79% EDIT “VHYES is a brilliant comedy that manages to lovingly parody the television of an entire era while sustaining a heartwarming tale that could not have been told otherwise.” – Film Inquiry Sep 24, 2019 Full Review The Day Shall Come (2019) 65% EDIT “I would like to nominate Chris Morris's The Day Shall Come to the overcrowded ranks of the bad, lazy satire.” – Film Inquiry Mar 16, 2019 Full Review Her Smell (2018) 83% EDIT “Her Smell never overstays its welcome, thanks to a stellar ensemble, Ross's solid script, and Moss's powerhouse performance.” – Film Inquiry Mar 14, 2019 Full Review The Beach Bum (2019) 58% EDIT “The Beach Bum is a fantasy par excellence about life without consequences; a thought exercise in what it would look like if someone truly lived without a care in the world.” – Film Inquiry Mar 12, 2019 Full Review Us (2019) 93% EDIT “Two films in, it's abundantly clear that Peele is developing a new genre altogether, one that is fundamentally horror, and yet is also unafraid of being thoroughly comedic.” – Film Inquiry Mar 12, 2019 Full Review Mid90s (2018) 81% EDIT “At its heart, Mid90s deals with the euphoria of being young and feeling like you've finally found a group in which you can belong. In the same vein, it is also about that high's inevitable fallout.” – Film Inquiry Oct 3, 2018 Full Review Cam (2018) 93% EDIT “We need more stories that shed honest light on sex work while humanizing the people who do it and, on that end, Cam gets the job done.” – Film Inquiry Sep 27, 2018 Full Review Apostle (2018) 79% EDIT “If his earlier work proved his mastery of action filmmaking, Apostle proves Gareth Evans might have the chops to tackle any genre he pleases.” – Film Inquiry Sep 27, 2018 Full Review Between Worlds (2018) 33% EDIT “Between Worlds may not be the finest receptacle for Cage's insanity, but it does feature a sex scene in which he reads, mid-intercourse, from an erotic book titled Memories by Nicolas Cage. Make of that what you will.” – Film Inquiry Sep 26, 2018 Full Review Dachra (2018) 90% EDIT “From its terrifying cold opening to its grisly ending, Dachra announces the arrival of a bold new voice in international genre cinema, one that refuses the constraints and expectations that are often placed on films from the region.” – Film Inquiry Sep 26, 2018 Full Review Suspiria (2018) 65% EDIT “Though it may seem odd, at face value, to think of Susie and Elio's stories as peers in the same director's oeuvre, Guadagnino's commitment to interrogating and capturing desire, its ecstasy, its destruction, bridges nearly all his work.” – Film Inquiry Sep 25, 2018 Full Review One Cut of the Dead (2017) 100% EDIT “Ueda's bending of tone and style eludes conventional genre classifications, but all the elements mesh fantastically and coherently together.” – Film Inquiry Sep 25, 2018 Full Review Knife + Heart (2018) 81% EDIT “By focusing on relationships, toxic and otherwise, within a queer community, Gonzalez imbues his characters with an agency and individuality that are shamefully rare in mainstream queer cinema.” – Film Inquiry Sep 25, 2018 Full Review You Might Be the Killer (2018) 60% EDIT “The film's methodical deconstruction of slasher tropes quickly proves mechanical.” – Film Inquiry Sep 25, 2018 Full Review Pope Francis -- A Man of His Word (2018) 81% EDIT “It is foolishly unrealistic to expect Wenders to have made any kind of critical or challenging work. The issue is Wenders' inexplicable lack of interest in enriching or expanding the narrative we have come to learn of Pope Francis so far.” – Film Inquiry Aug 22, 2018 Full Review Most Likely to Murder (2018) 62% EDIT “Most Likely to Murder may not reinvent the wheel of holiday films, but its subversion of the genre, especially its willingness to fully indict and satirize its own protagonist, gives us ample reason to invest interest in the future of Gregor's filmography” – Film Inquiry Mar 25, 2018 Full Review 1985 (2018) 96% EDIT “Relying heavily on the personal over the historical, Tan has crafted a stunning love letter in memoriam for the queer big brothers who could not be there to tell him what Adrian tells Andrew.” – Film Inquiry Mar 25, 2018 Full Review 6 Balloons (2018) 86% EDIT “It's always refreshing to see a take on a social epidemic that doesn't wallow in clichés of suffering, but rather examines the humanity underneath it all.” – Film Inquiry Mar 20, 2018 Full Review Sorry to Bother You (2018) 93% EDIT “I have absolutely never seen anything like Sorry to Bother You before. You have to see this movie.” – Film Inquiry Mar 19, 2018 Full Review Roman J. Israel, Esq. (2017) 55% EDIT “It may fail to live up to the excellence of Gilroy's debut, but the film still manages to deliver a poignant look at the pitfalls, and promise, of the American legal system.” – Film Inquiry Dec 9, 2017 Full Review Coco (2017) 97% EDIT “Charming, stunning, and heart-wrenching, Coco has swiftly joined the ranks of Pixar's finest.” – Film Inquiry Dec 4, 2017 Full Review Wonderstruck (2017) 68% EDIT “A weakly structured plot and unfocused motifs bog Wonderstruck down from what could have been a striking exploration of childhood and the joys of discovery that come with it.” – Film Inquiry Nov 28, 2017 Full Review
