My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) 95% B EDIT “No matter how clumsy the movie gets, it’s always enjoyable just to spend time with these proud hustlers, who stubbornly refuse to lie down and be marginalized.” – AV Club Oct 10, 2025 Full Review High and Low (1963) 97% EDIT “No shot in High And Low particularly stands out from the others, but every shot contributes to the film’s central dichotomy: high/low, heaven/hell, grandiose/mundane, privilege/squalor... That’s not Great Directing. It’s just great directing.” – The Dissolve Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Nashville (1975) 89% A EDIT “At its heart, Nashville is about internal contradiction as both a destructive and a creative force, serving up examples, but drawing no firm conclusions.” – AV Club Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Huda's Salon (2021) 77% C+ EDIT “[A] clumsy thriller...” – AV Club Mar 1, 2022 Full Review Losing Ground (1982) 96% EDIT “[Collins] succeeds in detailing the various ways in which we all stumble about looking for a blessed moment of release.” – The Dissolve Mar 1, 2022 Full Review Uncharted (2022) 41% C+ EDIT “Uncharted isn’t even especially good fan service.” – AV Club Feb 15, 2022 Full Review Kimi (2022) 92% B EDIT “When this film is over, viewers with voice-activated smart TVs are liable to look around for the long-dormant physical remote.” – AV Club Feb 10, 2022 Full Review Moonfall (2022) 35% D+ EDIT “You will actually hear your brain cells commit seppuku as you watch it.” – AV Club Feb 4, 2022 Full Review Compartment No. 6 (2021) 93% B EDIT “Compartment No. 6 could hardly be more conventional or less audacious, and that's fine.” – AV Club Jan 26, 2022 Full Review Memoria (2021) 90% A EDIT “Not since Todd Haynes' Safe has a murkily understood, possibly psychosomatic ailment been reconceived in so haunting and unforgettable a fashion.” – AV Club Dec 21, 2021 Full Review Cyrano (2021) 85% B EDIT “[Dinklage] captures Cyrano's unusual mix of bravado and insecurity so exquisitely that he really didn't require songs to push those feelings to another level.” – AV Club Dec 16, 2021 Full Review Wolf (2021) 45% C EDIT “Wolf is so thin that one can't help but look right through it.” – AV Club Dec 1, 2021 Full Review The Unforgivable (2021) 38% C- EDIT “The whole thing comes across as a movie star's anti-vanity project, just an opportunity for Bullock to demonstrate her ostensible range. Okay, she can be hard and stoic and affectless. Noted.” – AV Club Nov 24, 2021 Full Review C'mon C'mon (2021) 94% B- EDIT “Mills' core insight remains the same in every film: We're all screwed up to some degree, all constantly improvising, all doing the best we can with relatively few guidelines.” – AV Club Nov 17, 2021 Full Review Mayor Pete (2021) 71% B EDIT “There's never a sense of someone who's merely regurgitating memorized talking points. He's personable, animated, empathetic, easy to like. You just never feel as if you've been invited behind the curtain.” – AV Club Nov 9, 2021 Full Review Finch (2021) 74% C+ EDIT “Finch's main problem is its amiable, low-key vibe, which feels at odds with such a grim scenario.” – AV Club Nov 3, 2021 Full Review The Electrical Life of Louis Wain (2021) 68% B- EDIT “At its best, the film arguably needn't be about Louis Wain at all, making it a real disappointment when biopic convention ultimately kicks in. Even then, there's less about feline-centric art than a fan would expect.” – AV Club Oct 19, 2021 Full Review There's Someone Inside Your House (2021) 47% C+ EDIT “Honestly, it might have been more fun to watch these kids not have their lives threatened. But Fast Times At Osborne High probably doesn't get the Netflix adding machines a-clackin'.” – AV Club Oct 5, 2021 Full Review Prisoners of the Ghostland (2021) 62% C+ EDIT “There's not quite enough... inspired lunacy to plug the film's gaping narrative holes or compensate for its thinly drawn characters, but at least there's always something to stave off boredom.” – AV Club Sep 15, 2021 Full Review The Alpinist (2021) 93% C EDIT “Having a subject who largely refuses to cooperate, thereby forcing the filmmakers to sit around at home and relate much of what happens indirectly, doesn't exactly make for a classic.” – AV Club Sep 8, 2021 Full Review The Year of the Everlasting Storm (2021) 94% B EDIT “There are no outright disasters and two superlative shorts, one of which may well turn out to be this year's single greatest cinematic achievement.” – AV Club Sep 3, 2021 Full Review Anne at 13,000 ft (2019) 89% B EDIT “If the worst thing one can say about a film is that it's perhaps too carefully thought out (especially for a portrait of irrationality), it's getting the important things right.” – AV Club Sep 1, 2021 Full Review No Man of God (2021) 81% C EDIT “Fails to offer much more than the usual portrait of a sociopath who looks frighteningly like the rest of us.” – AV Club Aug 25, 2021 Full Review Flag Day (2021) 40% C+ EDIT “Flag Day suffers from the same repetitive, wearying cycle of reconciliation and disappointment that tends to make movies about addiction such a drag.” – AV Club Aug 18, 2021 Full Review Annette (2021) 72% B+ EDIT “The film's tension between sincerity and falsity is nonstop palpable; virtually every scene threatens to collapse and implode due to the gravitational weight of its heightened reality.” – AV Club Aug 4, 2021 Full Review
