Marc by Sofia (2025) Radhika Seth Marc by Sofia doesn’t claim to be comprehensive, or even the definitive portrait of Marc Jacobs. It’s just a film that’s interested in a lot of different things and will make you more interested in all of them, too.

The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) Radhika Seth This isn’t just a film you’ll keep thinking about, it’s one you’ll live with -- and that’s what makes it an astounding cinematic achievement.

The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) Radhika Seth ... [The film's] music, cinematography, costumes, and production design all deserve attention, as does Seyfried, who has always been excellent, but here finally gets a big-screen leading role worthy of her talent.

Frankenstein (2025) Radhika Seth The production design is sumptuous, the gore gleeful and sometimes abundant, and the special effects eye-popping, but none of this distracts you from the crux of the story...this is [a Frankenstein] adaptation to remember.

Bugonia (2025) Radhika Seth ... if you’re a Yorgos-for-life-r, you’ll find much to enjoy in the heightened performances, pitch-black humor, bursts of gory violence, and bizarre twists, including a mind-melting final sequence.
Posted Sep 02, 2025  Edit critic review
The History of Sound (2025) Radhika Seth Mescal and O’Connor have their breakthrough moments, too, naturally, but it’s just not enough to lift the film out of its general mood of bleak and desolate austerity, nor to pierce through the gray patina that seems to hang over everything.

Sentimental Value (2025) Radhika Seth [Sentimental Value is] poignant, poetic, frequently surprising, and quietly devastating.

Alpha (2025) Radhika Seth With Alpha, Ducournau has completed quite the trifecta when it comes to portraying the horrors of being a woman...
Posted May 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Eddington (2025) Radhika Seth It all results in something that feels incredibly pointless: a literal regurgitation of a time we all remember all too clearly, which revels in its hallucinatory, farcical chaos but features no new, thought-provoking insights or observations.
Posted May 19, 2025  Edit critic review
Die My Love (2025) Radhika Seth It’s a lot of empty provocation; a frantic throwing of things at the wall; much sound and fury signifying nothing...
Posted May 19, 2025  Edit critic review
The Phoenician Scheme (2025) Radhika Seth With its glut of stars, abundant twists, wild action set pieces, and predictably stunning world building, The Phoenician Scheme is never less than diverting, though some of the more outlandish episodic segments...feel too contrived...
Posted May 19, 2025  Edit critic review
Warfare (2025) Radhika Seth ...this is the first actually great film of this new season—and one that has, with its sheer explosiveness, secured its spot in the canon of heart-stopping war movies.

Julie Keeps Quiet (2024) Taylor Antrim This is a discomfiting movie, but also a hauntingly beautiful one.
Posted Mar 31, 2025  Edit critic review
A Complete Unknown (2024) Radhika Seth [Timothée Chalamet's] portrayal [of Bob Dylan] is an entirely committed, deep-seated, almost cellular embodiment, entirely different from anything he’s ever done before and one that heralds the beginning of an exciting new chapter in his career...

3/4
Shampoo (1975) Rosalyn Drexler Hal Ashby... gets wonderful performances out of his stars with mediocre material.
Posted Feb 10, 2025  Edit critic review
One of Them Days (2025) Emma Specter ...One of Them Days blends genuinely funny writing with the kind of heart that comes from giving characters realistic and actually recognizable hurdles to overcome.
Posted Jan 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Martha (2024) Lilah Ramzi Though it’s Stewart who sits for Cutler’s camera, the great weight of public opinion comes into view too.
Posted Nov 03, 2024  Edit critic review
Nickel Boys (2024) Radhika Seth This is a searing drama with an abundance of style and hallucinatory visual splendor, but one in which every choice feels deliberate and meaningful, too.
Posted Oct 14, 2024  Edit critic review
Queer (2024) Radhika Seth Sadly, the sun-soaked, dust-coated drama... becomes a slog, though it has two redeeming factors: Daniel Craig, who stars as the film’s loquacious, scenery-chewing anti-hero, and Outer Banks’s Drew Starkey as the quiet, inscrutable object of his affection.
Posted Sep 06, 2024  Edit critic review
The Room Next Door (2024) Radhika Seth Ultimately, what won me over, though, was not simply the irresistible pleasures of all of Almodóvar’s work but the natural chemistry and warmth between Moore and Swinton, as they play two friends who are preparing for the unthinkable.
Posted Sep 06, 2024  Edit critic review
Maria (2024) Radhika Seth Maria is a deliberately strange and beguiling film—when it soars it, like the extraordinary woman at its center, seems entirely transcendent; and when it falters it, like the soprano at the very end of her life, cowers into a heap.
Posted Sep 04, 2024  Edit critic review
Babygirl (2024) Radhika Seth This is a thorny, unflinching declaration of raw female desire—and it is entirely shameless.
Posted Sep 04, 2024  Edit critic review
The Brutalist (2024) Liam Hess The Brutalist may bite off a little more than it can chew, but what a pleasure it is to see a filmmaker swing for the fences and -- for the vast majority of the film’s running time -- hit home run after home run.
Posted Sep 01, 2024  Edit critic review
Starve Acre (2023) Taylor Antrim Creepy and a bit unhinged, this is one to watch late at night, when the film’s bleakness will fully cast its spell.
Posted Jul 22, 2024  Edit critic review
Oddity (2024) Taylor Antrim This is an excruciatingly scary film set in Ireland with a setup that might seem expected, but Oddity loads such intense jump scares and go-for-it storytelling into its short run time that the movie feels singular and new.
Posted Jul 22, 2024  Edit critic review
Longlegs (2024) Taylor Antrim The whole thing is dark and relentless with plot turns that make this about familial secrets and the bonds of parents and children. For horror fans, a must-see.
Posted Jul 22, 2024  Edit critic review
Federer: Twelve Final Days (2024) Corey Seymour Meanwhile, the strength of the film—like so many contemporary documentaries—ultimately comes down to one word: access.
Posted Jun 12, 2024  Edit critic review
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) Radhika Seth Furiosa, with its explosive action and epic scale, is infinitely watchable. It just isn’t quite the grand feminist saga it thinks it is.
Posted May 18, 2024  Edit critic review
Kinds of Kindness (2024) Radhika Seth At a time when cinema is often maddeningly simplistic or prescriptive, Kinds of Kindness delights in its own ambiguity. It also provides no shortage of things to get your teeth into.

I Saw the TV Glow (2024) Taylor Antrim You leave TV Glow wanting to see it again.
Posted May 03, 2024  Edit critic review
Civil War (2024) Taylor Antrim [Civil War] has ravishing moments, an incredible central performance from Kirsten Dunst, and a heart-stopping pace. But this is a movie built around a moral center, and it is as excruciating as any you’re likely to see this year.

3/4
Dog Day Afternoon (1975) Kathleen Madden Lumet s characters wear the blemished, flat, second rate look of reality, less real in the '70's than Kojak's bullish back of the neck.

1/4
For Pete's Sake (1974) Rosalyn Drexler For Streisand's sake. This picture seems to have been made between pictures to keep Barbra working.

2/4
The Seduction of Mimi (1972) Rosalyn Drexler It is both funny and disgusting... perhaps cruel. Truth is not always exaggeration.
Posted Mar 08, 2024  Edit critic review
3/4
Harold and Maude (1971) Rosalyn Drexler The picture is anti-war, anti-repression, and full of fun; a charming hour and a half of black humor.
Posted Mar 08, 2024  Edit critic review
3/4
Chinatown (1974) Rosalyn Drexler A tremendously interesting movie to watch and to listen to. Roman Polanski, who directed, dredges up the dark slimy things that float beneath a sunlit surface.

Dune: Part Two (2024) Taylor Antrim Here comes Dune: Part Two to restore your faith in big-budget, big-screen moviegoing.

The Blue Kite (1993) Joan Juliet Buck The film is remarkable, particularly for the intense, relived quality of daily life.

The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl (1993) Joan Juliet Buck The movie star who embodied the ideals of a nation hungry for myth and then became one of the prime creators and promoters of that myth, Leni Riefenstahl is the most fascinating and weirdly engaging monster ever recorded on film.

The Hudsucker Proxy (1994) Joan Juliet Buck The film doesn't have anything you'd recognize as content, but it is as precisely made as a wonderful machine, funny in a mode of zany giddiness, and boasts both a German expressionist sensibility and an angel who smokes a cigar.
Posted Feb 29, 2024  Edit critic review
Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) Joan Juliet Buck Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell are charmingly almost believable; Kristin Scott Thomas is catty and sly as a best-dressed, lovelorn rich girl; and Simon Callow breaks through the screen with a merry selection of waistcoats and an air of enjoying himself.
Posted Feb 29, 2024  Edit critic review
Quiz Show (1994) John Powers Bouncy and enjoyable, the movie is Robert Redford's best work in over a decade, and it's not hard to understand why. How could a blond icon like Redford not be fascinated by the tale of his alter ego, a disgraced golden boy like Van Doren?
Posted Feb 13, 2024  Edit critic review
Natural Born Killers (1994) John Powers A big, dazzling, monstrously violent comedy that is probably the most extreme movie ever made in Hollywood. Psychedelic and assaultive, it's like a fever dream snatched from the skull of Charles Manson.

Out of Darkness (2022) Taylor Antrim I’ve just seen the first really good scary movie of 2024.
Posted Feb 09, 2024  Edit critic review
Grand Illusion (1937) Allene Talmey Gentle, poetic, but not soft, this drama of the War has a brooding kindness and a slow power.
Posted Feb 03, 2024  Edit critic review
Eileen (2023) Radhika Seth The beauty of Eileen lies in its capacity to surprise not simply those who are coming to Moshfegh’s story for the first time, but also those who are already familiar with its slippery contours.

Rustin (2023) Shelli Nicole This film can serve as inspiration to work daily toward shaking off the humility that prevents us from being our full selves. If not for us, then for the sake of generations after.

Youth (Spring) (2023) Lisa Wong Macabasco Chinese documentarian Wang Bing’s vibrant masterpiece Youth (Spring) just may be the season’s fleetest three-hour-plus movie.
Posted Nov 10, 2023  Edit critic review
The Last Picture Show (1971) Edward Sittel Because of its loose structure, the even focus on detail, and the remarkably free hand of the director, The Last Picture Show is the brilliant realization of the most important new tendencies in American films.
Posted Oct 26, 2023  Edit critic review
4/4
Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) Rosalyn Drexler Ellen Burstyn as Alice Hyatt (wife, widow, mother, former singer) is great in a movie that embraces the clichés of most women's lives.
