Migration (2023) 73% 2/4 EDIT “Ultimately, “Migration” is probably going to fade from audiences’ memory faster than whatever lesson they learned in school the week before winter break.” – Washington Post Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023) 95% 3/5 EDIT “A messy, loud, confusing, joyfully chaotic, over-too-soon gift.” – Washington Post Aug 1, 2023 Full Review Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken (2023) 65% 2/4 EDIT “It's just charming enough, just exciting enough and just funny enough to not be a flop.” – Washington Post Jun 27, 2023 Full Review Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. (2023) 99% 3/4 EDIT “It seems that Blume’s work can still teach us a few things about ourselves.” – Washington Post Apr 25, 2023 Full Review Wildcat (2022) 92% 2.5/4 EDIT “It mostly works, with one catch. “Wildcat” doesn’t quite hang together, both visually, which is forgivable, and narratively.” – Washington Post Dec 19, 2022 Full Review Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022) 95% 2.5/4 EDIT “The bar isn’t terribly high here, but Puss and company clear it comfortably, landing — but of course — on their feet.” – Washington Post Dec 19, 2022 Full Review Spoiler Alert (2022) 87% 3/4 EDIT “Unlike so many “illness movies” — I’m looking at you, Nicholas Sparks — Kit’s life is not mined for the lessons it teaches us.” – Washington Post Dec 7, 2022 Full Review Strange World (2022) 72% 2/4 EDIT “The visual beauty of the film isn’t enough. After all, pretty is as pretty does — and in “Strange World,” pretty doesn’t do much.” – Washington Post Nov 23, 2022 Full Review Mack & Rita (2022) 24% 1.5/4 EDIT ““Mack & Rita” feels, paradoxically, both too short and overlong.” – Washington Post Aug 11, 2022 Full Review A Love Song (2022) 95% 4/4 EDIT “It’s the cinematic equivalent of a deep breath and a cool drink.” – Washington Post Aug 4, 2022 Full Review My Donkey, My Lover & I (2020) 89% 3/4 EDIT “With its easy pace and genial company, “My Donkey, My Lover & I” is a journey worth taking, even if, at the end of the day, there’s no cozy French inn waiting for you.” – Washington Post Jul 27, 2022 Full Review Mr. Malcolm's List (2022) 83% 3/4 EDIT “Yes, it does the job almost as well as the original. It’s just missing a few details that could have made it a classic.” – Washington Post Jun 27, 2022 Full Review The Bad Guys (2022) 87% 3/4 EDIT “It knows precisely what it is — and what it sets out to do, it does well. It’s a heist film with heart and humor, and where’s the crime in that?” – Washington Post Apr 20, 2022 Full Review Dog (2022) 77% 3/4 EDIT ““Dog” turns out to be a deeply thoughtful, surprisingly resonant look at trauma and what stems from it.” – Washington Post Feb 18, 2022 Full Review Sing 2 (2021) 72% 2/4 EDIT “A cinematic masterpiece it is not. But "Sing 2"is good enough.” – Washington Post Dec 21, 2021 Full Review Encanto (2021) 92% 3/4 EDIT “It's a creative, fresh take on a story that is much more complex than your standard fairy tale.” – Washington Post Nov 24, 2021 Full Review India Sweets and Spices (2021) 83% 2.5/4 EDIT “There are some good laughs to be had, some good lessons to be learned and room to discuss the importance of being allowed to be imperfect.” – Washington Post Nov 17, 2021 Full Review Clifford the Big Red Dog (2021) 58% 2/4 EDIT “Find a cute kid. Make sure the title character, a giant, red, CGI mutt, isn't too creepy-looking. Tell a sweet story. Call it a day. The film neatly checks all those boxes - and, at times, even does a bit more.” – Washington Post Nov 10, 2021 Full Review Hard Luck Love Song (2020) 37% 2/4 EDIT “What could have been a taut, gripping, emotional story ends up being diluted by a surrounding narrative that meanders and moseys to the point of irrelevance.” – Washington Post Oct 14, 2021 Full Review Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) 58% 3/4 EDIT “This sequel inhabits the same comfortably dumb space as its predecessor. If you liked the first one, you'll like this one.” – Washington Post Sep 30, 2021 Full Review Queenpins (2021) 48% 1/4 EDIT “A good story lurks somewhere in "Queenpins," but Gaudet and Pullapilly take the easy way out at every plot point and with nearly every joke.” – Washington Post Sep 8, 2021 Full Review PAW Patrol: The Movie (2021) 82% 2.5/4 EDIT “A better movie than it needs to be, with some neat visuals, an outstanding score and a story that, while simple, is well told.” – Washington Post Aug 18, 2021 Full Review Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021) 25% 2/4 EDIT “There's no real reason for this sequel/tribute to the original 1996 film to exist, but now that it does, there's no reason to wish that it didn't.” – Washington Post Jul 15, 2021 Full Review Onward (2020) 88% 3/4 EDIT “Look, "Onward" isn't even close to top-shelf Pixar. But judging it on its own merits, it's an often funny, genuinely moving story that takes enough twists along the way that the quest becomes a suspenseful journey.” – Washington Post Mar 4, 2020 Full Review Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) 64% 3/4 EDIT “In the end, "Sonic" is quippy without being mean, and sweet without being sappy, making this a trip that's well worth taking.” – Washington Post Feb 13, 2020 Full Review
