Am I Racist? (2024) 56% EDIT “Despite a better target than the bigoted What Is a Woman—an industry about profiting off white guilt, not fighting racism—it shares the same flaws: manipulative editing, lazy jokes, and no curiosity, ending on a thoughtless finale with no call to action.” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel Sep 18, 2024 Full Review The Marvels (2023) 63% EDIT “While it certainly fails to reaches the heights of MCU's halcyon days, The Marvels also manages to not feel burdened by the franchise's more recent missteps; mostly bolstered by a strong first two acts and the wonderful chemistry of its three leads. ” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel Nov 10, 2023 Full Review Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) 82% EDIT “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 not only provides an emotional ending to James Gunn's time with this crew; but also delivers the strongest and most meaningful, both in its characterization and its anti-fascist message, MCU movie since Avengers: Endgame. ” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel May 7, 2023 Full Review What Is a Woman? (2022) 75% EDIT “A film made to sermonize to the already converted, those already primed to see the simple existence of trans people as worthy of laughter and contempt rather than curiosity or empathy, then hand them weapons in the form of lazy disinformation and hate.” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel Aug 12, 2022 Full Review Nope (2022) 83% EDIT “While less engaging on a purely visceral level then his pervious works, Nope remains true to Jordan Peele's reputation as a filmmaker who can pack dense themes and ideas into his work; this time setting his sites on Hollywood's explotative history. ” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel Jul 24, 2022 Full Review Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) 63% EDIT “While Chris Hemsworth continues honing his comedic chops as Thor and the film remains consistently entertaining, those hoping Taika Waititi would breathe new life and excitement into the growing Marvel fatigue of Phase 4 will be disappointed. ” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel Jul 10, 2022 Full Review Dual (2022) 72% EDIT “Like the director's previous film "The Art of Self-Defense", Dual has us enter a world that's just slightly off-kilter and makes us see the truth that hides underneath our typical veneer. Karen Gilen delivers a fantastic double performance to boot. ” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel Jun 22, 2022 Full Review Cruella (2021) 75% EDIT “Cruella is absolute trashy cinema, but it certainly is my kind of trash. Basically, The Devil Wears Prada for the queer crowd who loves to stan a messy villain. ” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel May 30, 2022 Full Review A Quiet Place Part II (2021) 91% EDIT “A Quiet Place Part 2 proves that there's still enough thrills in this concept to yell about. ” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel May 30, 2022 Full Review In the Heights (2021) 94% EDIT “In the Heights recaptures the old Hollywood magic of cinematic musicals. ” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel May 30, 2022 Full Review Werewolves Within (2021) 86% EDIT “While sometimes over-reliant on stereotypes and broad characterizations, Werewolves Within finds enough hilarity and twists within it's "The Thing" style premise to be worth your time. ” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel May 30, 2022 Full Review Fear Street Part One: 1994 (2021) 84% EDIT “While Fear Street certainly has that cookie-cutter Netflix gloss to it, it still manages to provide enough thrills and unique surprises to make it a worthwhile entry into the horror genre. ” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel May 30, 2022 Full Review Black Widow (2021) 79% EDIT “A lukewarm farewell to a character who never got to take center stage when she deserved to, and this film feels too-little, too late as a result.” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel May 30, 2022 Full Review The Suicide Squad (2021) 90% EDIT “James Gunn not only provides a hilarious and unique superhero tale, but also brings a surprising understand and empathy to those who are often cast as villains in a world that never allows them to be seen as anything else. ” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel May 30, 2022 Full Review Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) 92% EDIT “While it still hits every single MCU storytelling beat, Shang-Chi at least manages to evolve the franchise's action and provide a bit of refreshing diversity to the superhero world. ” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel May 30, 2022 Full Review Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) 58% EDIT “This sequel is clearly in on the joke this time, but I'm still not entirely sure it's all that funny. ” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel May 30, 2022 Full Review Riders of Justice (2020) 96% EDIT “An engaging yet surprisingly funny tale about trauma, empathy, and loss that never lets you forget the path that giving into your pain can take you down, and how the cycle never ends unless you work to stop it. ” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel May 30, 2022 Full Review Dune (2021) 83% EDIT “While clearly just the first half of a longer narrative, what a thrilling first half this is. ” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel May 30, 2022 Full Review Last Night in Soho (2021) 75% EDIT “A wild ride, not only with its narrative, but in your trust with the film to discuss the treatment of women with enough empathy that is required for a story like this one, and while it almost loses you, it recaptures that trust in its final moments. ” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel May 30, 2022 Full Review Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021) 63% EDIT “Ghostbusters Afterlife doesn't do anything original with its narrative, but its new setting and earnest heart manage to make this franchise feel worth the revisit one more time. ” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel May 30, 2022 Full Review Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) 93% EDIT “While banking a tad hard on viewer's nostalgia, the movie still ultimately manages to provide a strong emotional throughline and sense of finality for not only Tom Holland's Spider-Man, but for its myriad cross-franchise characters. ” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel May 30, 2022 Full Review The Matrix Resurrections (2021) 63% EDIT “The Matrix Resurrections evolves the original trilogy's anti-capitalist metaphor and places it front and center for all to see, ensuring that no one can look away from it's message that only community and resistance can save the day. ” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel May 30, 2022 Full Review Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) 73% EDIT “While the film may not live up to the multiversal madness of its title, Doctor Strange 2 manages to be something wholly unique in the MCU; a film that stands out with its own unique directorial style that hopefully signals a new direction for Marvel.” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel May 9, 2022 Full Review The Long Night (2022) 41% EDIT “The Long Night is more concerned with atmosphere than trying to do anything new or engaging with its tired "trapped in a house" slasher formula. ” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel May 4, 2022 Full Review We're All Going to the World's Fair (2021) 91% EDIT “Not for everyone, but if you're enthralled by the creepypasta community, and the drive to seek for community that underpins it, then this movie perfectly captures that spirit.” – Jessie Gender YouTube Channel May 4, 2022 Full Review
