Greenland 2: Migration (2026) David Lynch "Greenland 2" has more it’s trying to do, but while things are more disastrous this time around, the storytelling is also a bit more streamlined. It doesn’t know how to square that while retaining the human spirit peeking out from its core.

September 5 (2024) David Lynch You also get the sense, however – and pretty early on – that “September 5” is content to settle into a rhythm that will reliably thrill for the course of runtime, but not exactly surprise.

The Brutalist (2024) David Lynch What “The Brutalist” comes to reveal in its dissonance is that figures with power in America and those without it seeking to forge their own legacy are only as tolerant for one another as personal motivations require them to be.

Queer (2024) David Lynch This is a movie that opens by swooning you out of your senses, yet I’m still not entirely sure it doesn’t end as a nightmare.

Gladiator II (2024) David Lynch There’s ambition in “Gladiator II,” to be sure. There’s also a temptation to burden itself with the mere implications of conflict so we can’t see the absence of conflicts' roots.

Wicked (2024) David Lynch No measure of its eccentric-looking adornments, and no amount of Ariana Grande in an immeasurably enjoyable performance, can fully compensate for the lack of worldly eccentricity or emotional depth needed to set the stage for Elphaba’s transformation.

A Real Pain (2024) David Lynch Culkin and Eisenberg play their roles magnificently, signaling how our individual humanity is defined as much by the walls we erect around us as by the force of will by which we finally decide to knock them down.

The Apprentice (2024) David Lynch "The Apprentice" seethes, to be sure, but that’s hardly the same thing as baring its teeth.
Posted Oct 14, 2024  Edit critic review
Megalopolis (2024) David Lynch “Megalopolis” is willing to bruise and break its bones in order to push the limits of its intoxicating world and the medium we’re glimpsing it through.
Posted Sep 29, 2024  Edit critic review
Will & Harper (2024) David Lynch The doc’s strength comes from director Josh Greenbaum following these conversations and interactions in real time instead of piecing the journey together retroactively through the rear-view mirror.

Uglies (2024) David Lynch This lifeless movie about a society brainwashed into lifelessness isn’t nearly entertaining enough to appreciate the irony.
Posted Sep 16, 2024  Edit critic review
Rebel Ridge (2024) David Lynch This is brace-yourself filmmaking that fully makes good on the promise that’s implied as Iron Maiden’s “The Number of the Beast” blares over the opening moments
Posted Sep 07, 2024  Edit critic review
Between the Temples (2024) David Lynch If the movie is constructed of confrontations, then it’s about the rendezvous between identity and affirmation, and our desperate need for larger-than-life questions to retain the vitality we imagine for them once we think we've found the answers.

Alien: Romulus (2024) David Lynch We’re left distracted by the mystery of why a thriller that initially revels in being so contained suddenly finds itself straining to reach its tendrils through the various movies that came before it.

Kneecap (2024) David Lynch And though “Kneecap” is more a call to arms than thoroughly satisfying victory lap, it’s nonetheless a reminder about the urgency that art can instill into activism.

Skywalkers: A Love Story (2024) David Lynch It's far too easy to get lost in the gulf that separates their jerky GoPro footage from flying drone shots that look ripped from travel insurance commercials.
Posted Jul 20, 2024  Edit critic review
Daddio (2023) David Lynch The movie may not entirely fulfill that potential once the final fare is collected, but for a structural conceit so familiar it’s practically daring us to stay invested, Hall’s debut makes just enough of staying in its lane.
Posted Jul 03, 2024  Edit critic review
Handling the Undead (2024) David Lynch Handling the Undead plays like Baby’s First Arthouse Horror, though that isn’t the jab it may read like; there’s value, in an MCU-less start-of-summer period, to provide curious audiences with a gateway to other slower-moving thrillers like this one.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) David Lynch Rather than repeat the pure chase-movie-as-dystopian-power-struggle that Fury Road revealed itself to be nearly a decade ago, Furiosa is a sprawling narrative map whose tightening and widening contours indicates something new about the character.

Atlas (2024) David Lynch The bigger “Atlas” decides to lean, the more its potential shrinks—by movie’s end, Lopez’s starpower is grazing uncomfortably against yet another streaming snoozer that doesn’t know how to match it.
Posted May 24, 2024  Edit critic review
I Saw the TV Glow (2024) David Lynch The audacity of Schoenbrun’s magnificent second feature starts to come into focus as the certainty of a definitive conclusion doesn’t.

Unfrosted (2024) David Lynch They just keep coming in Netflix’s 'Unfrosted.' The A-listers. The diminishing returns. The hints that, yes, even in this age of bloated blockbusters, there could be such a thing as a 93-minute movie that’s too long.

Sasquatch Sunset (2024) David Lynch That’s the most significant sign “Sasquatch Sunset” is after something more than wringing laughs or squeamish reactions out of us—it makes us wish we could see more of the world through the Sasquatches’ eyes,

The Beautiful Game (2024) David Lynch You can see how these might be stories borrowed from real participants. That may fit with the movie’s it’s-all-good-here ethos, but wouldn’t it make more sense for a series of episodes devoting time to each story?
Posted Mar 31, 2024  Edit critic review
Late Night with the Devil (2023) David Lynch Credit where credit is due: The Cairnes know very well the contemporary media landscape they’ve made their movie in. What’s more: They know how much more equipped we are to spot that landscape’s rockier, more questionable terrain.

The Zone of Interest (2023) David Lynch It’s in the convergence of unimaginable evil and the movie’s obvious-seeming lens that 'The Zone of Interest' underscores how easily we can play blind to what is happening around us.

The Iron Claw (2023) David Lynch Whether Durkin spends enough time shaping the Von Erich brothers as characters might depend on to what extent “The Iron Claw” wrings the tears out of you in its final stretch.

The Boy and the Heron (2023) David Lynch "Miyazaki makes the contradiction work, in no small part because the beauty of “The Boy and the Heron” is spiked with moments of horror."
Posted Dec 09, 2023  Edit critic review
Napoleon (2023) David Lynch "If there’s any psychological abyss separating Napoleon the needy man-child from Napoleon the brilliant strategist, the movie is content to merely gaze across and not into it."
Posted Nov 27, 2023  Edit critic review
Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) David Lynch What gives the film moral potency is our feeling that Ernest, Mollie and practically everyone else know all too well the parts they play in this tale.
Posted Oct 26, 2023  Edit critic review
King Coal (2023) David Lynch Sheldon, able to infuse immense melancholy into the simple image of hand brushing across moss seeping into an inky tunnel, hardly puts herself at risk of shattering the stakes. The implications of her film shrinks and expands as organically as breathing.

Flora and Son (2023) David Lynch "Things ultimately work out a bit too succinctly, even suddenly, in a climactic performance that unnecessarily reaches beyond the movie’s own world. But music remains the magical element of Carney’s universe."
Posted Sep 29, 2023  Edit critic review
Spy Kids: Armageddon (2023) David Lynch "The movie’s barely formed soul signals a franchise limited by its own potential where once it might’ve been a gateway to the even weirder, wackier stuff the DIY-happy Rodriguez was once inspired by."

Oldboy (2003) David Lynch It’s hard to think of any movie that's come out since (outside Park’s own oeuvre, at least) that so directly challenges audience’s expectations about revenge stories, and the value we expect them to carry.

Shortcomings (2023) David Lynch Ben might not be able to see himself past the performance of someone who thinks he’s got it all figured out, but “Shortcomings’” vision of itself is far clearer, to delightful and sometimes unexpected ends.

Oppenheimer (2023) David Lynch The film’s speed – necessary to crunch decades of history into a condensed character study – is a bit like a trick in itself, both neglecting to let us dwell in a moment while emphasizing that Oppenheimer himself rarely did.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023) David Lynch It’s a wonder the TMNT property needed to do some growing up before embracing its core adolescence

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) David Lynch The greatest stunt “Dead Reckoning” pulls is how thoughtfully its narrative harmonizes with the movie’s thrills, not merely to inform character but to reflect the scenario of entry No. 7.

Quicksand (2023) David Lynch Life is cruel. In movies, it can be crueler. At least here, the cruelty tastes better served with a side of laughs.

The Out-Laws (2023) David Lynch A movie fading from memory faster than I can write about it.
Posted Jul 07, 2023  Edit critic review
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) David Lynch In “Dial of Destiny,” at least up until its unabashedly loony finale, competence is more often than not the ceiling rather than a baseline.

Extraction 2 (2023) David Lynch Just two entries in, I’m not betting that director Sam Hargrave, his writers and Hemsworth will ever reveal in Tyler anything as compelling as the grief-tinged mystery of Keanu Reeve’s John Wick or the bulletproof selflessness of Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt.
Posted Jun 16, 2023  Edit critic review
Past Lives (2023) David Lynch It’s a movie of poetic dialogue, but we fill the silences with our own reminiscing about who we’ve become and who we might have been.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) David Lynch You find yourself levitating in your seat off the filmmakers' enthusiasm, showcased with minute-to-minute consistency.

Kandahar (2023) David Lynch The tangle of political interests is so thick you can barely see the root motivations in “Kandahar,” and thorns of personal grievance are all the sharper for it.

Giving Birth to a Butterfly (2021) David Lynch If “Giving Birth to a Butterfly” finds Schaefer in his own storytelling metamorphosis, it’s worth awaiting what he has to offer once fully emerged.

The Mother (2023) David Lynch "It ends up trading sleek and somber like an assassin loading the wrong ammo into their gun."
Posted May 12, 2023  Edit critic review
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) David Lynch Gunn the true-blue genre imagineer has almost always been able to pick up the slack from Gunn the overcompensating writer, even as the latter can’t resist to show every character that speaks, roars or chortles how much he loves them.
Posted May 06, 2023  Edit critic review
Peter Pan & Wendy (2023) David Lynch As Lowery's marvelous “Pete’s Dragon” accomplished, if to greater, more striking success, “Peter Pan & Wendy” is rooted not in envisioning how it might look to fly straight on till morning but in the melancholy of realizing that's a two-way journey.

Renfield (2023) David Lynch That Cage wins the movie might not be entirely surprising, but “Renfield” might leave you wondering if you haven't secretly been rooting for his Dracula all along too.
