Louisa Moore

Tomatometer-approved critic
Biography:

Ever since she was a child, Louisa has loved cinema. While other kids would sneak downstairs to watch cartoons on weekend mornings, she was the kid who would secretly watch "At the Movies with Siskel and Ebert." Subscriptions to film magazines were here favorite gifts, and movie posters her favorite decor. Louisa has continued her love affair with the movies by founding the review site Screen Zealots, where she reviews both wide releases, indies, and short films. She is President of the Online Association of Female Film Critics, member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association and the Las Vegas Film Critics Society, and serves on the Board of the Critics Groups for Equality in Media (CGEM).

Mercy (2026) 24% EDIT “Though it barely scratches the surface of its big ideas, the movie’s sheer entertainment value smooths over the missed opportunities.” – Screen Zealots Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 92% EDIT “Though its meandering structure and minimal plot can test patience, the film’s shocking turns and immersive atmosphere make it a haunting, if imperfect, experience.” – Screen Zealots Jan 22, 2026 Full Review To the Victory! (2025) EDIT “Part comedy, part tragedy, and part heartbreak, the film honestly addresses the messy, painful aftermath of war.” – Screen Zealots Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Cover-Up (2025) 98% EDIT “A sharp, unflinching look at the constant tug-of-war between truth and power, showing how systemic secrecy and self-preservation can rot the foundations of democracy. ” – Screen Zealots Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Goodbye June (2025) 65% EDIT “This depressing holiday drama is predictable, emotionally draining, and ultimately forgettable.” – Screen Zealots Jan 21, 2026 Full Review One More Shot (2025) 67% EDIT “A fresh take on the time loop genre, the film blends comedy, drama, and romance with a bit of cheeky science fiction fantasy. ” – Screen Zealots Jan 10, 2026 Full Review The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) 95% EDIT “This testament to courage, humanity, and lives lost is unforgettable, if you can handle the heartbreak.” – Screen Zealots Jan 10, 2026 Full Review The Plague (2025) 97% EDIT “A dark meditation on adolescence, cruelty, and the cost of belonging.” – Screen Zealots Jan 10, 2026 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% EDIT “Trades grand drama for lived-in naturalism, creating one of the more convincing portraits of a marriage nearing its end.” – Screen Zealots Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% EDIT “This is the kind of movie that sounds like it could be painfully stupid on paper, but instead turns out to be genuinely funny, self-aware, and far more charming than it has any right to be. ” – Screen Zealots Jan 3, 2026 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% EDIT “A small but meaningful reminder of how important kindness and human connection really are in a world that seems to be losing both.” – Screen Zealots Jan 3, 2026 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 97% EDIT “Asks whether it’s possible to hold onto your humanity while staring down the person you believe destroyed it.” – Screen Zealots Jan 1, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 88% EDIT “Admirable in its audacity and unforgettable in its execution, this film is unlike anything you have ever seen. ” – Screen Zealots Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% EDIT “There’s a lot to appreciate here, but be prepared for a character study of narcissism rather than a highly entertaining drama.” – Screen Zealots Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% EDIT “The film settles for bland mediocrity, drowning its musical dreams and emotional ambitions in clichés, strained performances, and a dispiriting lack of inspiration.” – Screen Zealots Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Late Shift (2025) 97% EDIT “The film strikes a careful balance that provides suspense without sensationalizing, tension without melodrama, and respect for the real-world heroes the film depicts. Those who work in the field will no doubt find much that rings true.” – Screen Zealots Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Don't Let the Cat Out (2025) EDIT “The movie walks a fine line between horror and comedy, but it never goes full camp. It’s more awkwardly funny than outright hilarious, which somehow makes it even more disturbing. ” – Screen Zealots Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Lovely Day (2025) EDIT “A charming, funny, and quietly devastating portrait of a man learning to face not just marriage, but himself.” – Screen Zealots Dec 29, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% EDIT “The fights, the travel, and the cycles of addiction are presented with such blunt persistence that they begin to feel more like an endurance test than a work of art that’s designed to draw the audience in. ” – Screen Zealots Dec 29, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% EDIT “It’s a shame "The Housemaid" lacks the sharp satire, psychological bite, and suspense that Feig has been known to handle so well. Instead, the film is a sour and unpleasant experience that’s lazy, mean-spirited, and embarrassingly obvious.” – Screen Zealots Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Trash Baby (2025) EDIT “Highlights the beauty, resilience, and struggles of growing up in a world that doesn’t always offer an easy way out.” – Screen Zealots Dec 16, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% EDIT “This is a fast-moving, tense film, and Bigelow proves once again that she’s unmatched at handling complex, suspenseful, and frighteningly realistic material like this.” – Screen Zealots Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Dust Bunny (2025) 85% EDIT “Underneath the colorful visuals and the gory fairytale setup is a hollow, disjointed mess of a story. A quirky idea is buried under over-direction, under-writing, and faux profundity. It’s just too weird, too messy, and too hollow to work.” – Screen Zealots Dec 14, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% EDIT “This lush, mournful, and beautifully crafted film takes a deeply personal approach to one of the most mythologized figures in Western literature.” – Screen Zealots Dec 14, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% EDIT “Digs deep into family messiness and the blurry line between art and life, and it will hit hard with those who find within it connection and meaning.” – Screen Zealots Dec 14, 2025 Full Review
