Posted May 19, 2025  Edit critic review
The Accountant 2 (2025) Joanna Langfield Quite literally a blast from the past, this sequel feels like the kind of entertainment crowds used to flock to theaters to see. Some action, some fun, a touch of morality. A pretty good way to spend a couple of hours.

Better Man (2024) Joanna Langfield Thought “A Complete Unknown” was too traditional? Well, have I got a movie for you.
Posted Jan 05, 2025  Edit critic review
A Complete Unknown (2024) Joanna Langfield Is James Mangold’s biography of Bob Dylan, or at least his early days, a great piece of art? No. Is it revelatory or even historically accurate? Not really. But, close as it is to all that, it is also one of the most entertaining movies of the year.

Posted Oct 31, 2024  Edit critic review
Conclave (2024) Joanna Langfield The mix of papal pomp and pulp delivers something all too rare these days: a movie that feels like a perfect airplane read. It’s smart enough to compel, silly enough to keep us entertained.
Posted Oct 23, 2024  Edit critic review
Anora (2024) Joanna Langfield This is the movie I’ve been waiting for Sean Baker to make. Mixing the zest of Tangerine, the compassion of The Florida Project and the savvy of Red Rocket, this trip through the world of sex and the oligarchy is an irresistible treat.
Posted Oct 15, 2024  Edit critic review
Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) Joanna Langfield The most audacious big studio movie in years had me cheering its refusal to color between the lines. Until it didn’t.
Posted Oct 03, 2024  Edit critic review

Posted Sep 04, 2024  Edit critic review
I'll Be Right There (2024) Joanna Langfield Like its lovely protagonist, Edie Falco’s newest tries to be all things to all people. But this slight but smart comic drama still manages to satisfy, at least some of the time.
Posted Sep 01, 2024  Edit critic review
