5-25-77 (2022) 100% 10/10 EDIT “...a deeply felt, one-of-a-kind love letter to old-fashioned movie magic..” – Film Threat Nov 17, 2022 Full Review The Allnighter (2023) 100% 6.5/10 EDIT “…feels natural and fresh…” – Film Threat Oct 12, 2022 Full Review The Swearing Jar (2022) 94% 9/10 EDIT “The rare movie romance that really benefits from knowing as little going in as possible.” – Film Threat Sep 12, 2022 Full Review Rounding (2022) 66% 9/10 EDIT “To balance [the movie's] visceral intensity with such a strong emotional core is a tightrope act that Thompson pulls off to impressive effect.” – Film Threat Jun 20, 2022 Full Review Inbetween Girl (2021) 84% 9/10 EDIT “A frank, charming, and insightful high school dramedy with an exceedingly sympathetic protagonist and just the right amount of sentimentality.” – Film Threat May 18, 2022 Full Review MexMan (2018) 100% 4.5/5 EDIT “It’s in that push-and-pull shown between Germán’s obvious strengths and the frustration – and, ultimately, empathy – that one feels in seeing him unable to get out of his own way that MexMan most powerfully connects.” – Film Threat Apr 1, 2022 Full Review The Deer Hunter (1978) 86% 10/10 EDIT “Taken as a whole, The Deer Hunter is an anti-war elegy that movingly cherishes community and friendship in the face of humanity’s darkest, most destructive tendencies.” – Film Threat Mar 22, 2022 Full Review Tomorrow's Hope (2021) 100% 8/10 EDIT “Genuinely uplifting and inspiring in ways that even “feel-good” fictional stories can’t often achieve.” – Film Threat Mar 16, 2022 Full Review Comala (2021) 85% 7/10 EDIT “Comalais very well-made for a first feature, and it should be interesting to see what Cassini is capable of when he's telling a story that isn't his.” – Film Threat Oct 3, 2021 Full Review Socks on Fire (2020) 85% 8/10 EDIT “At one point, McGuire explains that he simply wanted to make a film "that would have everybody I loved on camera," and Socks on Fire more than fulfills that hope.” – Film Threat Jun 22, 2021 Full Review Four Games in Fall (2017) 7.5/10 EDIT “For fans still harboring resentment from that brief, dark period in Patriots history, Four Games in Fall is can't-miss.” – Film Threat Feb 6, 2021 Full Review The Devil to Pay (2019) 75% 10/10 EDIT “The Devil to Pay was originally titled Reckoning, and the film delivers one in absolutely shattering fashion.” – Film Threat Nov 18, 2020 Full Review The Giant (2019) 57% 7/10 EDIT “Try as I might, I can't quite shake nor stop thinking about The Giant, and that makes me believe Raboy's done something very, very right, here - even if you might have to squint a bit to see it.” – Film Threat Nov 14, 2020 Full Review Unmarked (2018) 5/10 EDIT “Unmarked might be tough to take as a serious drama, but Ybarra does deserve credit as a writer and director for avoiding some of the pitfalls that rookie filmmakers of all ages are susceptible to.” – Film Threat Oct 4, 2020 Full Review Shifter (2020) 8/10 EDIT “All told, Shifter is a smart and engaging little movie that delivers exactly what it promises to, though almost never in the ways that one might expect.” – Film Threat Aug 26, 2020 Full Review Hammer (2019) 79% 9/10 EDIT “Hammer has the mechanics of a hard-edged noir thriller, which works startlingly well, but it's clear that Sparkes's heart, and therefore the film's, is centered on the distressed familial relationships.” – Film Threat Jun 18, 2020 Full Review Raising Buchanan (2019) 71% 6.5/10 EDIT “Surely, Buchanan was never going to earn the kind of cinematic lionization that so many American filmmaking greats (like Steven Spielberg and John Ford) gave to good old Abe Lincoln, but he could have done a whole lot worse than this.” – Film Threat May 6, 2020 Full Review She's Allergic to Cats (2016) 71% 8/10 EDIT “It's a trip.” – Film Threat Apr 10, 2020 Full Review Streetlight Harmonies (2020) 100% 7.5/10 EDIT “It engenders great respect for the artists, and a desire not only to seek out and revisit the songs it features but also to go beyond the film's selections and uncover the rest of what doo-wop had to offer.” – Film Threat Apr 1, 2020 Full Review Tapeworm (2019) 86% 7/10 EDIT “It's as jarring, in its own way, as the gross-out in the opening scene - and, maybe, it suggests that the best way to view Tapeworm is not as provocation, but rather, as something like a passion play.” – Film Threat Jan 28, 2020 Full Review The Sonata (2018) 50% 6/10 EDIT “Even if The Sonata ultimately turns out to be something of a letdown, however, it may still be worth seeing for Rutger Hauer's involvement alone.” – Film Threat Jan 10, 2020 Full Review Feast of the Seven Fishes (2019) 88% 8/10 EDIT “Tinnell's film Feast of the Seven Fishes is a warm-hearted, consciously low-stakes romantic comedy that, for me, at least, succeeds where so many "feel-good" holiday movies have fallen short: it actually made me feel good.” – Film Threat Nov 20, 2019 Full Review Euphoria (2017) 19% 4/10 EDIT “It's not that Euphoria lacks good intentions or comes off as superficial in its treatment of death and dying. It's just that there's so much potential for grace or humor or despair or horror inherent in its premise.” – Film Threat Aug 27, 2019 Full Review Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood (2019) 86% 7.5/10 EDIT “In some ways, this is the most Quentin Tarantino movie ever made, in other ways it's the least, but overall, it's a damn good time - even if its final impact is a bit muted compared to the director's biggest triumphs.” – Film Threat Jul 29, 2019 Full Review 8/10 EDIT “Respectable in both intentions and execution, this is the kind of film that sneaks up on you and leaves a lasting impression. Like our man himself, it shouldn't be overlooked.” – Film Threat Jul 16, 2019 Full Review
