Sherin Nicole

Tomatometer-approved critic
Biography:

Sherin Nicole is a pop-culture pundit, an author, and might be a covert agent. The CIA offered her a college scholarship, but Sherin is too secretive for espionage. Since graduating from Howard University she has worked in a variety of creative spheres as a brand and marketing specialist. As an ‘agent raconteur,’ her musings appear on Geek Girl Riot / RIOT-US.com, idobi Radio, RogerEbert.com, Blcklst.com, and AWFJ (Alliance of Women Film Journalists). Sherin contributes to a variety of outlets where she gets nerdy about storytelling in every format.

Movies TV Shows
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% EDIT “Avatar: Fire and Ash digs its nails into its cautionary tale and draws blood. ” – RIOTUS Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% EDIT “The past rises, and faith is tested in this haunting, sublimely lit, and gorgeously gothic Knives Out Mystery.” – RIOTUS Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% EDIT “While its messaging is worthwhile, ETERNITY has no daring, let alone the thrill of eternal love.” – RIOTUS Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% EDIT “On the strength of its sensitivities, Zootopia 2 is applause-worthy on multiple levels... The bunny-and-fox cops leave no doubts, this udderly human and hilarious harpooning of societal ills is the G.O.A.T. of 21st-century fables.” – Geek Girl Riot Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% EDIT “Is This Thing On? is a bittersweet, comedic journey through divorce, self-discovery, and the healing power of finding "your thing."” – Geek Girl Riot Nov 24, 2025 Full Review In Your Dreams (2025) 86% EDIT “ In Your Dreams is more focused on its themes and jokes than on telling a story that connects them to each other or to us. Is it sweet? Yes. Does it have meaning? For sure. But it’s all plot, no story, and that’s not dreamy.” – RIOTUS Nov 15, 2025 Full Review Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) 98% EDIT “It must have been a child who discovered we’re the heroes of our own stories. LITTLE AMÉLIE captures that revelation in vivid animation, like a storybook set free to run feral and fantastical.” – RIOTUS Nov 13, 2025 Full Review Billy Idol Should Be Dead (2025) EDIT “From gorgeously crisp interviews—in rich black and glowing white—to lush but cheeky animated sequences that play out like fever dreams, weaving...its portrait of a man who’s danced with death too many times, yet emerged not just alive but truly living.” – AWFJ.org Nov 3, 2025 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% EDIT “Loneliness loosens its grip through thematic ‘touch therapy’ in Rental Family, a film where life is a multiverse of finding yourself in other people” – Geek Girl Riot Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% EDIT “Roofman gestures at deeper themes—workplace bullies, charismatic church leaders, the idiocy of crime, and the ache of human desperation—but it sags without smooth transitions or the fervor to get really funny or truly messy.” – RIOTUS Oct 16, 2025 Full Review After the Hunt (2025) 37% EDIT “The first half yanks us into its morally gray manipulations with a suspense bordering on fear; halfway through, the tension flags and the psychological thrills deflate into a slice of academic life. By then, if After the Hunt has a point, it's a dull one.” – RIOTUS Oct 9, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% EDIT “TRON: ARES is a gorgeously hollow cyberpunk shell, mostly just the echoes of its inspirations and some great Nine Inch Nails.” – RIOTUS Oct 8, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% EDIT “A House of Dynamite feels like a thriller that's also a precognitive documentary, and the sense of terror is in the room with us right now.” – RIOTUS Sep 30, 2025 Full Review The Roses (2025) 64% EDIT “The Roses is a diabolically petty and delightfully demented evisceration of love and divorce that lets the insides pour out.” – RIOTUS Aug 25, 2025 Full Review Highest 2 Lowest (2025) 83% EDIT “Highest 2 Lowest embodies its name, with some dialogue lows and the highs of a cinematic, nearly mythical “impossible choice,” one that tests the scales of love & family against money & power.” – Geek Girl Riot Aug 21, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% EDIT “Finally, the first family of Marvel is everything they’re meant to be in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and it’s super cute, brave, bold, and hopeful. ” – Geek Girl Riot Jul 22, 2025 Full Review 40 Acres (2024) 89% EDIT “...offering a vision that is as much about what we inherit as what we endure. 40 Acres is a rare bloom in the thematic post-apocalyptic landscape: sharp, singular, soulful, and stubbornly alive.” – RIOTUS Jul 9, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% EDIT “David Corenswet is a Superman who'd make Christopher Reeve proud, 'cause this is the superhero we’ve been waiting for. Proving when DC relies on its stories, characters, and thematic tone, it’s in a universe by itself.” – Geek Girl Riot Jul 8, 2025 Full Review The Old Guard 2 (2025) 27% EDIT “With its mix of high-risk global missions, existential quests for purpose, and visceral action, TOG2 is as much about relationships as it is about down-and-dirty heroics. And yet the story feels thin, lacking the dimension that made the first one pop. ” – RIOTUS Jul 2, 2025 Full Review F1 The Movie (2025) 82% EDIT “F1 is 100-mile per hour thrill—a classic sports movie in a new vehicle with lots of action & emotional flexing.” – Geek Girl Riot Jun 25, 2025 Full Review KPop Demon Hunters (2025) 92% EDIT “KPop Demon Hunters is a bias-wrecking K-Pop-Drama with all the fandom-fever we live for, but in a Spider-verse studio animation.” – RIOTUS Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Elio (2025) 83% EDIT “I only wish Pixar had taken more risks with the ending...otherwise, Elio is emotionally hefty and thematically electrifying and just so alien-cute and humanly-fluffy.” – RIOTUS Jun 18, 2025 Full Review Bird in Hand (2025) EDIT “Wainwright and Lahti are the tumultuous anchors of this story. Their performances peel back the layers of lifelong resentment with hilarity and heartbreak, while Roscher smartly denies us any illusions about an easy fix.” – AWFJ.org Jun 17, 2025 Full Review Sally (2025) 88% 3/4 EDIT “What makes the documentary so fascinating is its refusal to reduce Ride to a single narrative. ” – RogerEbert.com Jun 16, 2025 Full Review Deep Cover (2025) 90% EDIT “The glee of Deep Cover lies in how it leverages the rules of improv comedy against the gritty backdrop of London’s criminal underbelly.” – AWFJ.org Jun 14, 2025 Full Review
