The Thursday Murder Club (2025) 77% EDIT “It may be a film rather than a series, but it understands the assignment — and the zeitgeist.” – Washington Post Sep 2, 2025 Full Review Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure (1984) 39% EDIT “This is truly a hero's journey: It's rich in symbolic gifts, ungrateful boys, sudden alliances, and animal feedings — and pleasantly unmarred by chatty cathys like Harrison Ford.” – The Week Apr 28, 2025 Full Review John Mulaney: Baby J (2023) 86% EDIT “The show in its current iteration is extremely funny, but traces remain of a version that dug a little deeper.” – Washington Post Apr 26, 2023 Full Review Jerrod Carmichael: Rothaniel (2022) 100% EDIT “Rothaniel is short, fascinating, mildly claustrophobic, and pleasurably loose.” – Slate Apr 13, 2022 Full Review Avengers: Infinity War (2018) 85% EDIT “This is why I find the movie's belief that it's doing something experimental and unprecedented more than uncomfortable: Infinity War gambles dangerously with the way people process real deaths, never mind fictional ones.” – The Week May 2, 2018 Full Review Paterno (2018) 69% EDIT “Such a brutal referendum on how deflections, euphemisms, and clichés keep us from having to know what victims went through.” – The Week Apr 6, 2018 Full Review Chappaquiddick (2017) 80% EDIT “We need more movies like this: Films that revisit "legends" of the past and interrogate the ugly blind spots that allowed America to not see what was happening and hail as Great Men people who deserved to be remembered quite differently.” – The Week Apr 5, 2018 Full Review Ready Player One (2018) 71% EDIT “I'm here to report that you can still have a good time at Ready Player One even if you don't get most of the references.” – The Week Mar 30, 2018 Full Review A Wrinkle in Time (2018) 43% EDIT “A Wrinkle in Time is a big deal for many reasons worth celebrating. It also isn't perfect. And that's okay.” – The Week Mar 9, 2018 Full Review Half Magic (2018) 62% EDIT “The movie's honesty about how inured its characters have become to anything like straightforward desire is its greatest strength.” – The Week Feb 23, 2018 Full Review Black Panther (2018) 96% EDIT “Black Panther's failures, like its triumphs, are more Shakespearean than superheroic.” – The Week Feb 15, 2018 Full Review Condorito: The Movie (2017) 33% EDIT “The movie painlessly smooths so much that's rough in the original that it bears hardly any relation to its origin. For all that Condorito smashed Walt Disney's tendency to prettify, Condorito: La Pelicula does just that.” – The Week Jan 18, 2018 Full Review Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) 77% EDIT “You won't feel much, you probably won't forget you're sitting in a theater watching a group of people play a game, but it's fun, and funny.” – The Week Dec 20, 2017 Full Review Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) 91% EDIT “This delightful if overlong film has so many arcs and subplots that you'll find yourself parsing them later... not because they don't work, but because the film packs so many scenes that reward closer-than-normal observation.” – The Week Dec 15, 2017 Full Review The Disaster Artist (2017) 90% EDIT “If you strip the fiddly premise out, this is an immensely silly movie about an immensely silly person. Watch it. You'll be glad you did.” – The Week Dec 7, 2017 Full Review Justice League (2017) 39% EDIT “That this setup feels both rushed and tedious is a shame, because these figures have potential to be genuinely interesting.” – The Week Nov 17, 2017 Full Review Murder on the Orient Express (2017) 60% EDIT “Instead of meticulously matching clues to revelations, it turns Hercule Poirot, Agatha Christie's famous detective, into an unappealingly emotional Holmes.” – The Week Nov 9, 2017 Full Review Suburbicon (2017) 27% EDIT “Suburbicon might be the most contemporary period piece I've ever seen.” – The Week Oct 26, 2017 Full Review Marshall (2017) 80% EDIT “It's a fascinating and somewhat obscure and laudatory slice of Marshall's professional life, and that's all, and that's fine. But there's room for another Marshall picture.” – The Week Oct 19, 2017 Full Review Blade Runner 2049 (2017) 88% EDIT “This is a stunning film that somehow makes you homesick for the original.” – The Week Oct 12, 2017 Full Review 20th Century Women (2016) 88% EDIT “20th Century Women is really more mixtape than movie.” – The Week Aug 28, 2017 Full Review The Great Wall (2016) 35% EDIT “The most important takeaway of The Great Wall is that it doesn't work: not as a defense system, and not as a film.” – The Week Aug 28, 2017 Full Review Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds (2016) 100% EDIT “The burden of care is on both sides, and so, in Bright Lights, is its beauty.” – The Week Aug 28, 2017 Full Review The Sense of an Ending (2017) 75% EDIT “[Sense of Ending] is a diffuse and less invasively memoiristic version of the Barnes story. This is a tremendous cast: Walter, Dockery, and Mortimer give great performances here.” – The Week Aug 28, 2017 Full Review Beauty and the Beast (2017) 71% EDIT “By acknowledging the stranger aspects of the original, Bill Condon's live-action adaptation is an appropriately uncomfortable delight.” – The Week Aug 28, 2017 Full Review
