Love and Monsters (2020) 94% EDIT “Love and Monsters offers an adventure full of excitement and emotion, striking a beautiful balance of humor and heart.” – Decider Dec 14, 2023 Full Review Honeymoon with My Mother (2022) EDIT “ It might be predictable, but Honeymoon with My Mother is heartfelt and genuinely funny at points, buoyed by a lovable performance from Carmen Machi.” – Decider May 4, 2022 Full Review White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch (2022) 66% EDIT “The story of Abercrombie’s rise and fall may be a fascinating one, but White Hot fails to probe below the surface, leaving us with something superficial and unable to understand why things crashed and burned the way they did.” – Decider Apr 21, 2022 Full Review Dancing on Glass (2022) 67% EDIT “The performances in Dancing on Glass are stellar, but the story -- about the damaging impact of this kind of pressure on the psyche -- feels too familiar to leave much of a lasting impression.” – Decider Apr 18, 2022 Full Review Agnes (2021) 68% EDIT “Agnes, for all its quirkiness, is memorable as hell, delivering something truly unique and surprisingly poignant.” – Decider Apr 9, 2022 Full Review Forever Out of My League (2021) EDIT “While three movies with these characters have certainly allowed us to develop some fondness for them, Forever Out of My League fails to make any lasting impression (much like its predecessors).” – Decider Apr 6, 2022 Full Review My Wonderful Life (2021) EDIT “While the performances are powerful, My Wonderful Life never quite comes together, leaving us with what feels like a bit of a slog.” – Decider Mar 23, 2022 Full Review Marilyn's Eyes (2021) EDIT “While the story is sweet, Marilyn’s Eyes struggles under the weight of its subject matter, falling into twee patterns and presenting us with tired caricatures of mental illness.” – Decider Mar 16, 2022 Full Review Redeeming Love (2022) 11% EDIT “Redeeming Love fails as both a compelling romance and an effective drama, failing to do its dazzling leading lady -- or anyone else -- justice whatsoever.” – Decider Mar 11, 2022 Full Review Autumn Girl (2021) EDIT “ A showcase for Maria Dębska’s enchanting performance and a feast for the eyes and ears, Autumn Girl satisfies as both a period drama and a mesmerizing musical.” – Decider Mar 9, 2022 Full Review Meskina (2021) EDIT “Its leading lady might be charismatic, but Meskina doesn’t leave much of an impression after the credits have rolled.” – Decider Mar 8, 2022 Full Review Mark, Mary & Some Other People (2021) 57% EDIT “The script may fail to realistically explore the depths of polyamory, but thanks to dreamy chemistry between its two young leads and some genuinely funny scenes, Mark, Mary & Some Other People proves itself more than worth your while.” – Decider Mar 8, 2022 Full Review The Weekend Away (2022) 42% EDIT “Predictable and clunky as it may be, The Weekend Away is watchable as hell, serving as a suspenseful showcase for a strong performance from Leighton Meester.” – Decider Mar 3, 2022 Full Review Beans (2020) 91% EDIT “Beans is a necessary, stirring piece of art that serves as both a poignant coming-of-age story and a heartbreaking history lesson.” – Decider Feb 23, 2022 Full Review I Want You Back (2022) 87% EDIT “I Want You Back might be predictable, but it’s thoroughly charming, a warm and funny romcom better than most we see on streaming these days.” – Decider Feb 12, 2022 Full Review Book of Love (2022) 51% EDIT “Book of Love is delightful romcom fodder, exactly the kind of outlandish, entertaining fluff we could use more of these days.” – Decider Feb 8, 2022 Full Review My Best Friend Anne Frank (2021) 63% EDIT “ The performances in My Best Friend Anne Frank are strong, but the film feels strangely sanitized, unable to go to the depths necessary to convey this important of a story.” – Decider Feb 3, 2022 Full Review The Royal Treatment (2022) 35% EDIT “The Royal Treatment is a delightful surprise, armed with a sweet story and some charming performances from its two young leads.” – Decider Jan 21, 2022 Full Review Time Is Up (2021) EDIT “Full of wooden performances, stilted dialogue, and a climax so ridiculous you can't help but laugh, Time Is Up is a forgettable mess.” – Decider Jan 8, 2022 Full Review Four to Dinner (2022) EDIT “Four to Dinner, while ambitious, ultimately delivers a middling end result. Even with the actors' sizzling chemistry, the film doesn't leave much of an impression.” – Decider Jan 8, 2022 Full Review Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts (2022) 93% EDIT “Offers everything you could possibly want out of a reunion special.” – Decider Jan 6, 2022 Full Review Lulli (2021) EDIT “While the cast is delightful and world is engaging, Lulli feels rushed and shallow, offering us rough character sketches and half-formed storylines.” – Decider Dec 30, 2021 Full Review Still Out of My League (2021) EDIT “Still Out of My League boasts a big heart and a cast full of electrifying chemistry, but the story's lack of focus and lengthy runtime turns the whole thing into a bit of an aimless drag.” – Decider Dec 20, 2021 Full Review Anonymously Yours (2021) EDIT “While the cast is endearing, Anonymously Yours is so deeply predictable and laden with clichés that it feels like we've seen it more than a few times before.” – Decider Dec 20, 2021 Full Review Lead Me Home (2021) 100% EDIT “Lead Me Home is a necessary, heartrending piece of art, a vital, poetic examination of the housing crisis and the very real people it affects every day.” – Decider Dec 13, 2021 Full Review
