3.5/4
Lesbian Space Princess (2025) Ray Greene This almost all-female intergalactic "Candide" deserves high praise for its sex-positive and LGBTQA+-affirming attitude, wrapped around a sincere, ardent and generous heart.

2/4
Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) Ray Greene A too-carefully curated biopic, about a carefully curated life.

2/4
After the Hunt (2025) Ray Greene Often brilliantly acted, and framed by supple cinematography and a stunning score from Trent Reznor/Atticus Ross to seem pregnant with meaning. What emerges is the basic structure and essential weightlessness of a “duel of wits” soufflé like “Sleuth.”

The Two Popes (2019) Ray Greene A congenial movie that ought to be an incendiary one.

2/4
Stan & Ollie (2018) Ray Greene Anarchy and chaos are alien concepts to a movie which mostly views Laurel and Hardy as a failing business partnership. The few attempts to reference their comedy fall so entirely flat you’re not even sure if they’re being played for laughs.

3/4
Memoir of a Snail (2024) Ray Greene Grace’s heroism isn’t about saving Christmas or rescuing Coraline’s parents. It comes from having an unendurable life, that, against all odds, she somehow endures.

3/4
The Fabelmans (2022) Ray Greene A creation myth for Spielberg the filmmaker, whose creative vocation is plausibly depicted as a kind of therapy for all the things in life the child of a broken home can’t control.

3/4
Corrective Measures (2022) Ray Greene Some are calling the usage of Willis exploitative, but working to the end is heroic. Willis played his tough guys like they were the kind of people who snuck homemade popcorn into the movies by shoving it into their socks. Reduced circumstances suit him.

4/4
Nickel Boys (2024) Ray Greene Nickel Boys is remarkable, rule-breaking and ravishing cinema, and its advent announces the full arrival of a major cinematic talent of the first rank.

2/4
Samaritan (2022) Ray Greene Watching Stallone go through the motions one more time is like finding a melted toy you lost in 1987 among the dust-bunnies under the piano at your mom’s house right after she dies. You don’t know whether to smile or cry but you definitely feel something.

4/4
One Battle After Another (2025) Ray Greene Paul Thomas Anderson’s chaos opera is the only movie you’ll see this year that feels like America. One can almost imagine Donald Trump accidentally seeing the film, and then launching the National Guard against Warner Bros.

4/4
Code 3 (2025) Ray Greene A remarkable job of balancing gallows humor against medical drama. There are a lot of laughs in Code 3, but it’s always laughter in the shadows, just a few heartbeats away from a radio call and a mad dash to some other guy’s tragedy.
Posted Sep 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Death Letter Blues (2023) Tim Cogshell A sharp bit of southern Gothic storytelling with a dash of magical realism, Death Letter Blues makes for a sweaty, sultry mystery/drama full of soul-searching and seething over – the nature of us – good and bad.

The Mother of All Lies (2023) Ray Greene A remarkable reimagining of the very grammar of the documentary film.

3/4
Tokyo Cowboy (2023) Ray Greene A gentle movie that in some ways may be the most daring debut feature of the year.

Terrifier 3 (2024) Luke Y. Thompson Leone may bow to producer pressure when it comes to runtime, but will clearly never bend on the gore score.
Posted Oct 10, 2024  Edit critic review
3/4
Playing with Fire (2023) Tim Cogshell "Playing with Fire" recounts not only the specific incident -- that propelled Abby to call on the Fire Service to account for what happened to her but for the culture of the U.S. Fire Service that allows this behavior to run rampant and unchecked – still.

3/4
Alien: Romulus (2024) Mark Keizer Director Fede Álvarez traffics in a tactile, dirt under the fingernails, practical aesthetic that’s so enveloping it smothers our natural inclination to recoil at such fan service.
Posted Aug 15, 2024  Edit critic review
3/4
Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) Mark Keizer As fan service goes, the movie is about as mercenary as it gets, but it flatters us with a continuous wink that suggests no joke is too vulgar or inside baseball to earn our laughter.
Posted Jul 25, 2024  Edit critic review
2/4
Fly Me to the Moon (2024) Mark Keizer Very little of Fly Me to the Moon is credible which may be survivable in a frothy romcom but fatal in a film trying to juggle comedy, romance, drama, tragedy, and farce.
Posted Jul 11, 2024  Edit critic review
The Imaginary (2023) Luke Y. Thompson As an allegory, it gets complicated; as a story, I’ll take it far more gladly than yet another simplistic morality tale.
Posted Jun 18, 2024  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Inside Out 2 (2024) Mark Keizer The first film took most of the chances and was justifiably rewarded. The sequel finds new avenues to explore but in a more crowd-pleasing, less challenging vein.
Posted Jun 14, 2024  Edit critic review
4/4
The Fall Guy (2024) Mark Keizer The Fall Guy is loud, fun and state of the art but still manages to feel deeply personal to a stunt performer turned director who clearly loves his former profession and those who continue to risk life and limb for our delectation.

3.5/4
Civil War (2024) Mark Keizer Garland trades on our partisan anger and slowly shames us for it, testing to see if we’re so far gone that we can’t be horrified that some version of the events depicted could actually happen.
Posted Apr 12, 2024  Edit critic review
1.5/4
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024) Mark Keizer This beloved series continues down an unfulfilling and humor-deprived family adventure path and none of the new characters will be as adored 40 years from now as Peter, Ray, Egon, and Winston remain 40 years after the original.
Posted Mar 22, 2024  Edit critic review
2/4
The Animal Kingdom (2023) Mark Keizer The Animal Kingdom is so enraptured with its sense of sci-fi art film significance that key character conflicts feel neglected and the promise of its central conceit is only superficially fulfilled.
Posted Mar 14, 2024  Edit critic review
2/4
Spaceman (2024) Mark Keizer Fails to mine the source material for anything unique to say about human behavior while promising bits of character background, world building, and nods to the fall of Czechoslovakian Communism are introduced but remain curiously unexplored.

1/4
Madame Web (2024) Mark Keizer Madame Web, with its eye-rolling dialogue, miscast lead, and dime store psychology, is more proof that Sony’s bandwagon attempt to cobble together a cinematic universe strictly for the benefit of its quarterly earnings reports has been dead since day one.
Posted Feb 14, 2024  Edit critic review
2/4
Lisa Frankenstein (2024) Mark Keizer A sloppily paced, stitched together combination of disparate genres and worn-out ’80s references that’s neither as transgressive nor as rad as it thinks it is.
Posted Feb 07, 2024  Edit critic review
1.5/4
The Beekeeper (2024) Mark Keizer The flimsiest, silliest, most thinly-conceptualized pretense for Statham to scowl and brawl his way through another high gloss wannabe franchise launcher.
Posted Jan 12, 2024  Edit critic review
2/4
The Marvels (2023) Mark Keizer A jumble of personal and interpersonal conflicts, tiresome talk of quantum bands and jump points, and left field attempts at humor that play like discarded ideas from the Guardians of the Galaxy series.
Posted Nov 10, 2023  Edit critic review
2/5
She Came to Me (2023) Mark Keizer With its surfeit of characters and storylines, She Came to Me lays a lot of pipe in the service of very little humor or insight.

3/4
Flora and Son (2023) Mark Keizer Carney once again argues with warmth, honesty, cheeky humor, and a lack of sentimentality that music can connect even the most physically and emotionally distant of souls. It may sound corny, but dammit if Carney doesn’t make it sing.

2.5/5
The Inventor (2023) Mark Keizer One almost feels guilty for disliking The Inventor since it has so much going for it.

Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia (2022) Mark Keizer A work of Gallic, pastel-colored rebellion designed as a lovely little kids film.

Dreamin' Wild (2022) Mark Keizer Veers away from our expectations and towards something more downbeat yet also lovely and emotionally attuned.

The Beanie Bubble (2023) Mark Keizer A distinctly American story of guts, genius, delusion, and well-earned comeuppance.
Posted Jul 21, 2023  Edit critic review
Wonderwell (2023) Luke Y. Thompson Wonderwell is the sort of film that may require a rewatch once you realize what it’s up to – there are definitely some dead spaces that first time around, but as fables go, it’s at least a worthy attempt.
Posted Jun 26, 2023  Edit critic review
Traveling Light (2021) Luke Y. Thompson It’s the kind of oddly noncommercial drama usually made by first-time filmmakers with few resources, maximizing their hometown and the actors they know personally for all they’re worth.
Posted May 26, 2023  Edit critic review
Yellow Bird (2022) Luke Y. Thompson Jerris’ script superimposes a lot of forced, shticky business that works against the identification we want to have with Jake. Then again, this type of comedy would work against pretty much anything, because it’s just not funny.

3/4
Wild Beauty: Mustang Spirit of the West (2023) Tim Cogshell Indeed, one of the first misnomers that the documentary corrects is that horses are not native to North America – they are.
Posted Apr 27, 2023  Edit critic review
Backwards Faces (2022) Luke Y. Thompson Backwards Faces deserves wider distribution; it’s an early contender for best movie of the year. Fans of Everything Everywhere All at Once who want to see more movies like that, but not the same as it, should particularly appreciate its charms.
Posted Apr 18, 2023  Edit critic review
Bad Romance (2022) Luke Y. Thompson ...full of self-consciously clever references and twists but crucially lacking in empathy.
Posted Mar 18, 2023  Edit critic review
Knights of Swing (2022) Luke Y. Thompson That it’s a labor of love doesn’t inherently make it great, but the obvious commitment of everyone involved at least keeps it watchable. That said, if you aren’t being paid, you may find better uses of two and a half hours.

It Came Upon a Midnight Clear (2020) Luke Y. Thompson If your friends made a movie like this, you’d enjoy it with them over a couple of beers...If nobody’s bringing this or the beer to your place gratis, though, you might find the evening wanting.

Unconformity (2021) Luke Y. Thompson Seeing the ins and outs of these lives is rewarding, yes, but figuring out every detail is less important than watching how these folks deal with the particular adversities that come up,

Happy Fkn Sunshine (2022) Luke Y. Thompson Fans of the Trailer Park Boys are most likely to feel the vibe of Happy FKN Sunshine, a sweary slice of Canadian lower-class aspirations, scams, drug deals, and dysfunctional families.

Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) Luke Y. Thompson Lots of movies and shows entered the multiverse this year, but there was nothing remotely like this one

Entergalactic (2022) Luke Y. Thompson Combining the attempts to capture urban life in animation of Ralph Bakshi with the visual flair and graffiti art inspiration-made-3D of Into the Spider-Verse, Kid Cudi’s collaboration with director Fletcher Moules is a radical burst of energy

Decision to Leave (2022) Luke Y. Thompson I miss sick and twisted Park Chan-wook, but if being more restrained gets him wider acclaim and Oscar nominations, I hold no resentments.
