At Long Last Love
(1975)
|
Drew McWeeny
|
The movie is, in my opinion, a gem, a completely charming trifle that benefits from the music of Cole Porter used with real wit, and packed with performances that are pure pleasure.

My Old Ass
(2024)
|
Jessica Toomer
|
Park's comedy encourages us to toss aside the idea that we get wiser as we get older, focusing instead on the idea that every season of life holds value and that there's freedom in not knowing.

The Substance
(2024)

The Substance is bold and confrontational while also being highly stylized.

MaXXXine
(2024)
|
Jessica Toomer
|
It’s explicit, brazen, seedy, unrefined, and, at times, truly cringe to gaze upon. For some, that will be the slasher flick’s scariest part.

Love Lies Bleeding
(2024)
|
Kimberly Ricci

Katy O'Brian dominates the screen as Jackie, and Ed Harris is the most revolting that he's ever been.

Not only an instant cult classic that you’ll want to tell everyone you know about — it’s also the funniest movie of 2024.

Hit Man

Hit Man isn’t necessarily the best movie of the year, so far, but it feels like the one with the most replayability because it’s so evergreen and fun.

More of a reflection on how we desensitize ourselves to violence and the slide into chaos that it helps to spark. More of a movie worth talking about.

Throw in Billie Eilish’s melancholic tear-jerker and an intentionally butchered pronunciation of The Godfather and the movie was bound to be an instant classic. And you, too, have the power to take your Birkenstocks out of the closet in 2024.

Lily Gladstone provides the soulful counterweight to the amorality of those who see her and those like her less as humans than resources to be exploited and discarded when used up.

Across The Spider-Verse truly explodes the idea of what a comic book movie can be. This is thanks to the boundlessly exuberant and adventurous way it both constructs and captures its world(s) during this jaunt through the multiverse.
