Rating	Title \| Year	Author	Quote
	Charlotte (2021)	Reuben Baron	The animation is merely passable, never achieving the beauty of Charlotte’s own art, and it runs into the common biopic issue of being more a sequence of events rather than a propulsive narrative. Posted Aug 17, 2022 Edit critic review
	Where Is Anne Frank (2021)	Reuben Baron	Where Is Anne Frank? is [Ari Folman's] first time making a film aimed at children, but for better or worse, his ambition hasn’t been the least bit reined in by his audience. Posted Aug 17, 2022 Edit critic review
	Ahed's Knee (2021)	Reuben Baron	Ahed’s Knee is often captivating, especially in its use of pop music and in the impassioned back-and-forth arguments between Yud and Yahalom. It’s also incredibly overwhelming and not particularly enjoyable to watch. Posted Aug 17, 2022 Edit critic review
	The Survivor (2021)	Reuben Baron	The Survivor is guaranteed to make you cry, both for its moments of unbearable suffering and for its grace notes of hope. Posted Aug 17, 2022 Edit critic review
	Misha and the Wolves (2021)	Reuben Baron	Perhaps Misha and the Wolves could have been a better film with less manipulation, but it’s a compelling story nonetheless. Posted Aug 17, 2022 Edit critic review
	Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)	Reuben Baron	Wonder Woman 1984 has its heart in the right place but wastes its promising setups in a problematic sequel. Posted Aug 17, 2022 Edit critic review
	Esau (2019)	Reuben Baron	Narratively ridiculous and hideously ugly, Esau does a poor job reimagining a classic story of sibling rivalry. Posted Aug 17, 2022 Edit critic review
	Mank (2020)	Reuben Baron	The biopic of Citizen Kane screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz is gloriously old-fashioned in its style but startling in its contemporary relevance. Posted Aug 17, 2022 Edit critic review
	The Last Vermeer (2019)	Reuben Baron	The Last Vermeer wastes good actors and an intriguing true story on a poor narrative structure. Posted Aug 17, 2022 Edit critic review
