Chappaquiddick (2017) 80% EDIT “What results is a piece that is intellectually fascinating and largely well-acted, but one that also won't find much resonance beyond an audience that was already engaged out of historical or political curiosity...” – Battleship Pretension Apr 20, 2021 Full Review A Star Is Born (2018) 90% EDIT “The apex of their collaboration occurs in the breathtaking first performance of "Shallow," during which Cooper wisely decides to stay on the edges of the frame, giving the literal and metaphorical spotlight to Gaga...” – Battleship Pretension Apr 16, 2021 Full Review Leave No Trace (2018) 100% EDIT “While the film alludes to larger societal problems such as America's treatment of veterans, and inflexible, societal views about what it means to be a caregiver, the primary narrative focus is on an intimate relationship between two people...” – Battleship Pretension Apr 16, 2021 Full Review First Reformed (2017) 94% EDIT “There are no easy answers or conclusions in First Reformed, but it's the acknowledgment of the struggle and the beauty that can still be found amongst a spreading taint that makes the film resonant.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 16, 2021 Full Review Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) 97% EDIT “It's an absolutely delightful watch and one of the finest examples of the excitement and joy of which cinema is capable.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 16, 2021 Full Review Eighth Grade (2018) 99% EDIT “It's a crime that Elsie Fisher hasn't won every award possible for her work as the lead, and Josh Hamilton also deserves praise for his performance as Kayla's dad...” – Battleship Pretension Apr 16, 2021 Full Review Hereditary (2018) 90% EDIT “Pawel Pogorzelski's cinematography and Colin Stetson's score craft a visually and aurally ominous atmosphere that always hints and builds towards the ultimate evil reveal.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 16, 2021 Full Review If Beale Street Could Talk (2018) 95% EDIT “There's something ethereal about how the cinematography of If Beale Street Could Talk when Tish (KiKi Layne) and Fonny (Stephan James) are together.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 16, 2021 Full Review The Favourite (2018) 93% EDIT “Supplementing Lanthimos's satirical approach is the bold cinematography of Robbie Ryan, whose static and often exaggerated fisheye shooting style emphasizes both the interior loneliness of the three main characters as well as the absurdity...” – Battleship Pretension Apr 16, 2021 Full Review Roma (2018) 96% EDIT “Roma is not a film that can be explained - it's a film that needs to be felt.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 16, 2021 Full Review The Wicker Man (1973) 91% EDIT “Classic...arguably the bleakest ending in cinema history anywhere...” – Battleship Pretension Apr 15, 2021 Full Review Sing Street (2016) 95% EDIT “If "Drive It Like You Stole It" isn't caught in your head for days after watching then you're doing something wrong.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 15, 2021 Full Review A Man Called Ove (2015) 91% EDIT “At times a difficult dark comedy and other times a touching, introspective drama, do yourself a favor and get to know Ove...” – Battleship Pretension Apr 15, 2021 Full Review Batman Begins (2005) 85% EDIT “Nolan and Batman Begins [are] the progenitors of the gritty, realistic cinematic superhero movement...” – Battleship Pretension Apr 15, 2021 Full Review Catch Me if You Can (2002) 96% EDIT “Catch Me If You Can is probably one of the best films amongst Spielberg's minor titles, saying more positively about the man's talent than it says anything negatively about the film.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 15, 2021 Full Review Amélie (2001) 90% EDIT “...a film so emotionally and aesthetically beautiful that I think I just talked myself into buying it on Blu-ray...” – Battleship Pretension Apr 15, 2021 Full Review Punch-Drunk Love (2002) 79% EDIT “I recognize that I'm likely the minority voice when it comes to the opinions about what has been called his most accessible film and a romantic comedy unlike any other...” – Battleship Pretension Apr 15, 2021 Full Review Casting JonBenét (2017) 81% EDIT “...what director Kitty Green has attempted to do with Casting JonBenet is explore the unsettling legacy that the case has left on local residents and speculate on why it was so captivating to us.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 15, 2021 Full Review Mudbound (2017) 97% EDIT “A film with so much voiceover narration shouldn't work as well as this one does but rather than distract or splinter the narrative, it...decentraliz[es] the drama to create a spectrum of perspectives.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 15, 2021 Full Review Casino (1995) 79% EDIT “The decadence of both wealth and violence are brought into sharp focus by Scorsese...” – Battleship Pretension Apr 15, 2021 Full Review Jeff, Who Lives at Home (2011) 77% EDIT “I whole-heartily adore [it]...” – Battleship Pretension Apr 15, 2021 Full Review The Invitation (2015) 90% EDIT “The Invitation is a haunting slow burn with subtle performances and an intangible feeling of something askew that leaves this ominous feeling of something sinister constantly bubbling just below the surface.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 15, 2021 Full Review Wonder Woman (2017) 93% EDIT “Entries into the Marvel Cinematic Universe continue to take chances and clean up at the box office but even the most cynical of us are eagerly awaiting what Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot have in store next.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 15, 2021 Full Review Accidental Courtesy: Daryl Davis, Race & America (2016) 86% EDIT “It's an uncomfortable and frustrating yet important reminder that systems and institutions have left a far reaching historical, emotional, and psychological stain that the path to deconstruction is not an easy or quick one.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 15, 2021 Full Review Ingrid Goes West (2017) 84% EDIT “Co-writers David Branson Smith and Matt Spicer skewer both sides of the symbiotic social media relationship, lamenting the overall culture and how it has the capacity to so badly cause people to stray from who they really are...” – Battleship Pretension Apr 15, 2021 Full Review
