Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% EDIT “The usual bits of any mystery are there...and they are well-realized and compelling. But Knives Out has always been a franchise using the conventions of mystery to render social commentary. And in that effort, Wake Up Dead Man succeeds.” – them. Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% EDIT “If the first installment promised to defy gravity, its second installment is nothing but chess pieces finally succumbing to it, with even more unwelcome narrative bloat distending and distorting the musical’s final few beats.” – them. Nov 25, 2025 Full Review After the Hunt (2025) 37% EDIT “Given Guadagnino’s massive directorial talents, you can’t help but feel like there’s a much better version of this movie somewhere and that he either dropped the ball or was led astray by a tryhard script.” – them. Oct 10, 2025 Full Review Lover of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln (2024) 91% EDIT “While the film makes incisive cuts into Lincoln’s personal life, Lover of Men ultimately has too much reverence for him, rehashing the trite characterization of the man as an untouchable political demigod. ” – them. Sep 20, 2024 Full Review MaXXXine (2024) 73% EDIT “None of the information learned in MaXXXine is revelatory and the final 20 minutes take a narrative swerve that rob the character of any growth, and indeed feel like wasted time.” – them. Jul 8, 2024 Full Review Red, White & Royal Blue (2023) 75% EDIT “While Lopez brings an assured hand to the direction and writing, the film truly sings thanks to the chemistry between its leads...” – them. Aug 11, 2023 Full Review Theater Camp (2023) 86% EDIT “Theater Camp may not be a documentary, but its teachers do need nuance to be believed off the page and, too often, Theater Camp’s characterizations feel less lived-in than a new pair of character shoes.” – them.
