Casper (1995) Sadie Bell It's blissful and escapist, and plain fun to revisit. So much so that you're going to want the little guy to haunt you next.

Long Shot (2017) Kevin Jagernauth Truly fascinating...

Not Okay (2022) Esther Zuckerman Director and writer Quinn Shephard's movie is an enticingly cynical exercise, featuring a great performance from Zoey Deutch.

Nope (2022) Esther Zuckerman Nope is an experience that's creepy, wriggling its way under your skin, raucous, and thoughtful in all the right ways. It's a spectacle about the human need for spectacle.

The Gray Man (2022) Dan Jackson To put it in the reference-heavy parlance of The Gray Man: It's The Cringe Ultimatum, baby.

Murina (2021) Esther Zuckerman Through Filipović's performance you can feel the way she itches to escape on your skin. It's mesmerizing and a little bit terrifying.
Posted Jul 08, 2022  Edit critic review
Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) Emma Stefansky Love and Thunder is badly paced, greenscreened into oblivion, and the constant dribble of jokes and jabs undercuts any attempt at plotting an emotional arc.

Elvis (2022) Esther Zuckerman It accomplishes what it sets out to do in reminding audiences of the power of Elvis Presley. He's Romeo or Gatsby or Satine at the Moulin Rouge. He's impossible to ignore. With Butler as his copilot, Luhrmann sets loins afire.

Spiderhead (2022) Emma Stefansky Joseph Kosinski's Netflix drama Spiderhead uses the bones of one of George Saunders' nastier short stories to craft a morality parable that is as timely as it is fun.

Lightyear (2022) Emma Stefansky There's plenty in Lightyear to enjoy, and it's one of Pixar's better efforts over the last 10 years, but it ultimately feels half-done.

Bitterbrush (2021) Esther Zuckerman It’s horse girl cinema, yes, but it’s also deeply human cinema as well.

Jurassic World Dominion (2022) Emma Stefansky If I had watched this movie at the age at which I saw the original, I would have left the theater in tears. I can't imagine the kind of person who would derive pleasure from any of it, and I would not want to meet them.

Crimes of the Future (2022) Esther Zuckerman Crimes is classic Cronenberg: a sci-fi fable about evolution, complete with fleshy incisions.

Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022) Esther Zuckerman Chip 'n Dale is both a frequently charming diversion that will play great on Disney+ and a real missed opportunity. It somehow defies the IP exhaustion associated with nearly every cultural product these days and plays right into it.
Posted May 20, 2022  Edit critic review
Top Gun: Maverick (2022) Emma Stefansky It makes the act of being a good movie look like the easiest thing in the world, with director Joseph Kosinski showing off everything he's got.
Posted May 12, 2022  Edit critic review
Pleasure (2021) Esther Zuckerman Nothing is that unfamiliar in the plot of Pleasure, but Thyberg, who hails from Sweden, approaches her subject with such a clinical gaze that it's hard to shake the feeling that she's doing something revolutionary
Posted May 11, 2022  Edit critic review
Men (2022) Esther Zuckerman Men is craggier than Garland's other work, less sure of its intent and choppy in its genre swerves. And yet the potency of its images, gooey and tangible, are nightmare fuel for whoever dares watch.
Posted May 09, 2022  Edit critic review
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) Emma Stefansky Everyone's excitement welcoming Raimi back to the superhero fold was well worth it... Marvel's latest entry is worth seeing just to watch an adept at his craft cast his signature dark magic.
Posted May 03, 2022  Edit critic review
Petite Maman (2021) Esther Zuckerman Petite Maman asks existential questions with the purity of youth, while at the same time remaining utterly true to life. It’s rare that a film feels as special as this one. Hold it tight.
Posted Apr 21, 2022  Edit critic review
Paris, 13th District (2021) Esther Zuckerman Audiard and his co-writers aren’t relishing in their characters’ anguish. Instead, Paris, 13th District builds toward swooningly romantic conclusions that defy expectations in their sweetness. It’s also, quite frankly, very hot.
Posted Apr 15, 2022  Edit critic review
Ambulance (2022) Esther Zuckerman It’s directed by Michael Bay with all the flourishes you expect from the gonzo director including drone shots and explosions galore. That is to say, it’s captivating and a little bit nauseating.
Posted Apr 11, 2022  Edit critic review
The Northman (2022) Esther Zuckerman You can almost taste the sweat and the salt and and the fire, grounding the experience in the tangible, but hovering just on the edge of every frame is the sense that there might be something greater at work.
Posted Apr 11, 2022  Edit critic review
Ambulance (2022) Emma Stefansky With nonstop I-can't-believe-I'm-seeing-this excitement and a playful sense of humor, Ambulance feels like a return to form for a director who never left.

Morbius (2022) Esther Zuckerman Like most April Fools' Day jokes, Morbius is not actually funny. It’s not bad in the ha ha you have to see this it’s so ridiculous kind of way. It just feels underbaked and lame -- and, sadly, not weird enough to be any kind of fun.
Posted Apr 04, 2022  Edit critic review
Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood (2022) Dan Jackson Beneath the nostalgic surface, Linklater locates some profound and melancholy truths about memory. In his admirably low-key manner, he’s made a poignant and poetic movie
Posted Apr 01, 2022  Edit critic review
The Lost City (2022) Esther Zuckerman A serviceable high-concept comedy with one incontrovertible truth: Patti Harrison should be in every movie.

2022 Oscar Nominated Shorts - Animation (2022) Emma Stefansky Even if you're not currently obsessed with catching up on everything nominated ahead of Oscar night, Robin Robin is a delight you shouldn't miss.

Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie (2021) Leanne Butkovic For people who have watched Jujutsu Kaisen, JJK0 scratches that itch in adapting a fan-favorite manga arc set in the year before the events of the main series and closes the loop between the two

Black Crab (2022) Emma Stefansky Black Crab's chilly aesthetic and fun premise -- it's a mid-apocalyptic secret-mission movie on ice skates! -- enhance its somewhat predictable narrative.
Posted Mar 18, 2022  Edit critic review
X (2022) Matthew Jacobs X is scary, fun, bitter, and just as ridiculous as the real world.
Posted Mar 14, 2022  Edit critic review
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) Esther Zuckerman Everything Everywhere All at Once can occasionally feel relentless, but the directors do pause for the emotional beats that give the chaos weight. The noise is part of the experience, but the sheer creativity is the reward.
Posted Mar 12, 2022  Edit critic review
Dune (2021) Emma Stefansky Dune: Part One will leave fans not only wanting, but hoping for more. The spice, in other words, must flow.
Posted Mar 10, 2022  Edit critic review
Turning Red (2022) Emma Stefansky Turning Red is the first Disney movie for a young audience in quite some time that feels like it's speaking directly to them, instead of about them. The result is not so much a moral lesson as a map of how to accept yourself the way that you are.
Posted Mar 07, 2022  Edit critic review
The Batman (2022) Esther Zuckerman The Batman doesn't quite rise above its ubiquitous genre in the way that it maybe hopes to, but when it stays street level it's a tantalizingly creepy mystery, anchored by Robert Pattinson's eerie take on the Caped Crusader.

Dog (2022) Esther Zuckerman The movie may leave something to be desired, but having Tatum back on screens is a welcome reminder of all he has to offer. And of course these two are kindred spirits. After all, who better to star in Dog than someone with Tatum's demeanor?

Marry Me (2022) Matthew Jacobs One has to admire Lopez’s commitment to scripts this witless, baffling, and delightful.
Posted Feb 12, 2022  Edit critic review
Drive My Car (2021) Esther Zuckerman The length of the film is daunting, but it's also a thoroughly engrossing piece of art that's sexy and thoughtful.

Charli XCX: Alone Together (2021) Sadie Bell It's a tight documentary confined to one period, and better for it.
Posted Jan 28, 2022  Edit critic review
The Worst Person in the World (2021) Esther Zuckerman Trier finds plenty to mine in Julie's uncertainty -- about her future and her desire for children -- and Reinsve is sensational playing all of her nerves and sensuality.

Happening (2021) Esther Zuckerman Diwan's camera stays focused on the most harrowing moments of Anne's experience, which makes Happening a difficult but often remarkable watch.

When You Finish Saving the World (2022) Esther Zuckerman You can feel the nervous, motor-mouthed energy Jesse Eisenberg brings out of his best performances in his directorial debut, When You Finish Saving the World.

Dual (2022) Esther Zuckerman Gillan is great in the dual -- no pun intended -- role, fierce and fearful at the same time.
Posted Jan 28, 2022  Edit critic review
Fire of Love (2022) Esther Zuckerman The dangerous nature of their work starts to creep into the narrative, and by the end, this adorable love story has become a meditation on humanity's smallness in the face of the Earth's tectonic plates.

My Old School (2022) Esther Zuckerman he execution is brash and busy, but McLeod manages to turn it all into a sly commentary on memory and ambition.

Nanny (2022) Esther Zuckerman Jusu digs into her heroine's psyche in a way that is unsettling and unforgettable.
Posted Jan 28, 2022  Edit critic review
Hatching (2022) Esther Zuckerman An alternately beautiful and disgusting metaphor for the grossness of girlhood, Hatching is somehow a mash-up of Eighth Grade, Gremlins, and E.T.
Posted Jan 28, 2022  Edit critic review
Speak No Evil (2022) Matthew Jacobs An unsettling thriller about the lengths people will go to appease even the starkest of strangers, Speak No Evil is a vacation-gone-wrong movie done right.
Posted Jan 28, 2022  Edit critic review
Nothing Compares (2022) Dan Jackson Though O'Connor's beautiful rendition of "Nothing Compares 2 U" is never heard in the movie as a result of a rights issue with Prince's estate, its absence serves as an eerie structural void, giving this fairly conventional bio-doc an admirable weight.
Posted Jan 28, 2022  Edit critic review
We Met in Virtual Reality (2022) Esther Zuckerman Without breaking from the avatars, Hunting shows you the breadth of these spaces and allows voices to speak honestly and freely as they tell moving stories about how they have found a refuge.

A Love Song (2022) Matthew Jacobs A sweet addition to the "two lonely souls unite" canon, A Love Song gives veteran character actress Dale Dickey a much-deserved lead role.
