The Substance (2024) 89% EDIT “If Fargeat ​hopes to condemn any institution or social framework, we, too, are denied the pleasure of seeing women as anything more than what they represent for those forces. ” – Sight & Sound Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Dahomey (2024) 97% EDIT “Such a film yields no easy resolutions; there are none to be had. A younger generation crowds around the statues of old kings and the complicated tapestry that is their history; in them, it becomes endless.” – Sight & Sound Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Eddington (2025) 68% EDIT “So much of what doesn’t work about Eddington finds its origins in this lack of curiosity and reticence to reckon with the uglier dimensions of what afflicts this country. ” – The Nation Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Prisoner's Daughter (2022) 42% EDIT “Of course, we’ve seen this tale many times before, and far better executed. Despite committed performances from its cast (particularly Cox, arguably miscast for all his best efforts), the writing resists exploring what makes this story worth telling. ” – New York Times Jun 29, 2023 Full Review The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster (2023) 84% EDIT “Fixing horror in the Black body is a tricky business, and “The Angry Black Girl” stumbles in the same way its ancestor, “Candyman” (1992), did.” – New York Times Jun 8, 2023 Full Review Broadway (2022) 88% EDIT “Amid some uneven characterizations, the cast enlivens “Broadway” with their compelling performances, sealed by a stirring finale and a characteristically soaring score from Gabriel Yared.” – New York Times Apr 27, 2023 Full Review Malcolm & Marie (2021) 57% EDIT “One of the first movies made in quarantine, Sam Levinson's latest project with Zendaya exhibits many of the problems facing the film industry.” – Hyperallergic Mar 22, 2021 Full Review Diego Maradona (2019) 91% EDIT “Diego Maradona incompletely captures the power of the story the man inspired and the fickle nature of mythmaking itself, even if the myth is all we are left with.” – Hyperallergic Feb 27, 2020 Full Review The Hottest August (2019) 84% EDIT “The film becomes a sophisticated exercise in science horror. There's an intricate sensory layer to the storytelling that evokes the rainy summer and its flitting breezes, a creeping shadow of the uncanny cast over its beauty.” – Hyperallergic Feb 26, 2020 Full Review Atlantics (2019) 96% EDIT “[Diop] blends social realism with fantasy and horror into a boldly atmospheric production, a lyrical elegy equal parts mythic and phantasmagoric.” – MUBI Dec 20, 2019 Full Review Little Women (2019) 95% 3/5 EDIT “It's the chemistry between the cast that elevates this elegant - if sometimes sentimental - portrayal of motherhood and sisterhood.” – The Skinny Dec 17, 2019 Full Review Amazing Grace (2018) 99% 4/5 EDIT “Amazing Grace is a fascinating love song to the Black Church.” – The Skinny Jul 12, 2019 Full Review Knock Down the House (2019) 99% 3/5 EDIT “Knock Down the House aims for the easier work of honouring the process, the step forward, and if that is not always rewarding, sometimes it is enough.” – The Skinny Jul 12, 2019 Full Review High Life (2018) 83% 4/5 EDIT “For all the film's epic ambitions, mapping intimacy in all its oddness and beauty remains, as with most of Denis' work, at the forefront of this project.” – The Skinny Jul 12, 2019 Full Review Ma (2019) 55% 2/5 EDIT “The film toys with very real traumas and avoids every event to engage with them. In the end, what fun there is to be had is shallow.” – The Skinny Jul 12, 2019 Full Review Support the Girls (2018) 91% 5/5 EDIT “An empathetic, refreshingly incisive portrait of women at work, principally the work of navigating men, professionally and personally.” – The Skinny Jun 25, 2019 Full Review Pet Sematary (2019) 57% 2/5 EDIT “This latest rendition of Pet Sematary is so desperate to carve its own path that it loses sight of what made the tale such an effective one in the first place.” – The Skinny Apr 3, 2019 Full Review The Hole in the Ground (2019) 83% 3/5 EDIT “Comparisons to The Changeling and The Omen may well be inescapable, but The Hole in the Ground still manages to carve out a comfortable space for itself” – The Skinny Feb 22, 2019 Full Review Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) 36% 4/5 EDIT “A lot here works: it's more tonally assured than its predecessor and, bar certain eye-rolling climatic revelations, exploits the Potter nostalgia fruitfully.” – The Skinny Dec 12, 2018 Full Review Anna and the Apocalypse (2017) 77% 2/5 EDIT “There are better zombie films and better musicals, and perhaps they work best apart for a reason.” – Little White Lies Nov 28, 2018 Full Review Crazy Rich Asians (2018) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Crazy Rich Asians brims over with charm... It's not an evenly complex portrait of wealth, but it's a film winningly possessed with heart.” – The Skinny Sep 4, 2018 Full Review Ant-Man and The Wasp (2018) 87% 3/5 EDIT “The humour and unflappable comedic timing of its cast remains the franchise's strength, and entertaining action sequences manage to uplift an ultimately heavy-handed sequel.” – The Skinny Jul 31, 2018 Full Review Hotel Artemis (2018) 57% 3/5 EDIT “For all its structural flaws, Hotel Artemis makes for a wildly entertaining edition to the summer blockbuster line-up.” – The Skinny Jul 19, 2018 Full Review Whitney (2018) 88% EDIT “Rather than revel purely in her tragicomic status, Whitney highlights the less publicised tragedy of a woman denied ownership, or rather authorship, of her own image, and so in many senses doomed to the imagination of others.” – Sight & Sound Jul 5, 2018 Full Review Black Panther (2018) 96% EDIT “The real stars of Black Panther are its women, both before and behind the camera.” – Sight & Sound Feb 16, 2018 Full Review
