Dirty Work (1998) 21% 1.5/4 EDIT “The "comedy" touches are misguided” – Buffalo News May 14, 2025 Full Review Mulan (1998) 91% 4/5 EDIT “[Jerry Goldsmith] wrote the film's score, but unfortunately not its vocal numbers. And therein lies the film's only flaw... Plugging these songs into Goldsmith's score is the musical equivalent of putting a bumper sticker on a Porsche.” – Buffalo News Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Real Women Have Curves (2002) 85% 3/4 EDIT “In the thankless role of Ana's much older sister, Estella, the clothing factory owner, Ingrid Oliu gives a noble performance, quietly conveying her admiration and envy for her self-assured younger sibling.” – Buffalo News Sep 8, 2021 Full Review Victoria & Abdul (2017) 65% 3/4 EDIT “Fans of Victoria, who are immersed in the early life of the Queen, will find this bookend fascinating.” – Buffalo News Oct 5, 2017 Full Review The Trip to Spain (2017) 83% 2.5/4 EDIT “Ultimately, although the scenery is stunning and Coogan and Brydon provide some entertaining banter, The Trip to Spain is same trip, different day.” – Buffalo News Aug 31, 2017 Full Review Step (2017) 96% 3.5/4 EDIT “So, who should see this documentary? Fans of dance. Girls. Teachers. Parents. Kids. In short, anyone who wants to be inspired and touched.” – Buffalo News Aug 17, 2017 Full Review Maudie (2016) 90% 3.5/4 EDIT “Maudie works as an unconventional love story that reminds the audience about the importance of looking beyond appearances. It's also a testament to the transformative power of art.” – Buffalo News Jul 20, 2017 Full Review Everything, Everything (2017) 45% 2.5/4 EDIT “Director Meghie misses the opportunity to illustrate the experience of discovery and awakening.” – Buffalo News May 19, 2017 Full Review Gifted (2017) 73% 2.5/4 EDIT “Gifted has a strong cast and an interesting premise but unfortunately you don't have to be a genius to find holes in this plot.” – Buffalo News Apr 13, 2017 Full Review The Founder (2016) 80% 3/4 EDIT “The Founder works on many levels -- as a rags-to-riches story, a business school lesson, and unearthing history (not unlike Hidden Figures).” – Buffalo News Jan 20, 2017 Full Review Collateral Beauty (2016) 14% 3/4 EDIT “It's hard to predict if audiences will want to take such an emotional ride at the holidays, but the supporting performances and overall message make it a worthwhile one.” – Buffalo News Dec 15, 2016 Full Review The Eagle Huntress (2016) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “Looking for an inspirational dose of female empowerment? This is a terrific movie for families, but especially for fathers and daughters.” – Buffalo News Dec 9, 2016 Full Review Queen of Katwe (2016) 94% 3/4 EDIT “Fiercely protective and suspicious of her daughter's new pastime, Nyong'o's wonderfully expressive face reflects her entire life story. Her scenes with Oyelowo are an acting master class.” – Buffalo News Sep 29, 2016 Full Review Bridget Jones's Baby (2016) 78% 3.5/4 EDIT “With its evocative soundtrack and wink at another famous film romance, Baby may be formulaic but the formula works.” – Buffalo News Sep 15, 2016 Full Review Equity (2016) 82% 2.5/4 EDIT “Equity was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, and it is gratifying to see a movie in which the women's roles are more developed than the men's.” – Buffalo News Aug 25, 2016 Full Review Our Little Sister (2015) 93% 3.5/4 EDIT “Our Little Sister is a serene, enchanting film that transports us to another, gentler world.” – Buffalo News Aug 18, 2016 Full Review War Dogs (2016) 62% EDIT “Director and co-screenwriter Todd Phillips accomplishes no small feat here, creating a "biographical criminal war comedy" that balances a political, social story with satire and laugh-out-loud dialogue.” – Buffalo News Aug 18, 2016 Full Review Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie (2016) 57% 2/4 EDIT “Sometimes, when you get together with old friends you can't remember what you ever had in common. Ultimately, much of the film falls as flat as an open bottle of Bolly.” – Buffalo News Jul 21, 2016 Full Review Swiss Army Man (2016) 73% 3/4 EDIT “The presence of the gassy corpse often provides comic relief if the proceedings become too existential or contemplative.” – Buffalo News Jun 30, 2016 Full Review Dark Horse (2015) 96% 3.5/4 EDIT “If Dark Horse were not a documentary, viewers might find its story a bit of a long shot.” – Buffalo News Jun 9, 2016 Full Review Me Before You (2016) 55% 2.5/4 EDIT “In this truncated tale, it is ultimately hard to muster any tears for a character we never really know and whose actions we find difficult to understand.” – Buffalo News Jun 2, 2016 Full Review
