3.5/5
Hard Truths (2024) Eli Glasner A masterclass in acting that's hard to watch, but that's the point. You might see someone you know here. It's a very relatable performance.

Presence (2024) Eli Glasner This is a ghost story, wrapped around a family that is crumbling.

Suze (2023) Eli Glasner This is about getting out of our silos, out of our bubbles and being able to actually see the person in front of you.

Anora (2024) Eli Glasner That's the magic of this movie. No one is disposable. Everyone has dimensions and depth. All waiting to be revealed in this insane intense journey.

4/5
Sasquatch Sunset (2024) Eli Glasner You will laugh, you will shriek, you may cover your eyes. But after 20 minutes of watching, you start to acclimatize, you start to appreciate their different personalities. The longer you stay with them, the more you start to see.

3.75/5
Fitting In (2023) Eli Glasner Based on director Molly McGlynn's own experiences, Fitting In is a blunt, bold and funny coming-of-age film like no other.

5/5
Origin (2023) Eli Glasner It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before. This is the best, most potent and powerful thing DuVernay has ever done. Everything she's filmed, the documentaries, the crowd scenes for the march in Selma, all of it led up to Origin.

3.5/5
The Marvels (2023) Eli Glasner The best part is Iman Vellani, as Kamala Khan, as Ms. Marvel. She is the millennial Peter Parker.

Violent Night (2022) Eli Glasner If the sound of Santa swinging his sledge hammer like Thor while yelling "Naughty Naughty" doesn’t jingle your bells, this aint for you.

3.5/5
She Said (2022) Eli Glasner Similar to Spotlight, this is really about the tick tock, the maddening drip drip drip, endless calls and false trails that make up working on an investigative story.

4/5
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) Eli Glasner In the end, Wakanda Forever is about a choice. Do you rage? Or do you accept and let go. Saying farewell without forgetting. Moving on. That Coogler managed to embed that in a Marvel movie is a minor miracle and fitting tribute to the talent we lost.

4/5
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) Eli Glasner The biggest shock of the new Knives Out is how contemporary it feels. Director Rian Johnson isn’t playing some old game of Clue. He wants to talk about our world.

4.5/5
The Woman King (2022) Eli Glasner In this sisterhood of soldiers there’s more empathy. It’s not that they're weak, but that they understand the price of being strong.

3.5/5
Bros (2022) Eli Glasner Beneath the easy targets, is a surprisingly sincere story about two men afraid to be truly emotionally intimate with each other. So while Bros revels in rom com cliches, it’s also adapting the formula to tell its own truth.

5/5
The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) Eli Glasner This is where horror and hilarity start to mix.
Posted Nov 03, 2022  Edit critic review
5/5
Nope (2022) Eli Glasner This is about watching and waiting. About what if that thing that you are chasing devours you? It's about spectacle - this awesome sight - but there’s another side to that. The dark daunting side. Awe includes fear.

4.5/5
Night Raiders (2021) Eli Glasner This is a film blending the familiar with the futuristic and a very potent reminder.
Posted Oct 11, 2021  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) Eli Glasner Soon there are two alien symbiotes running amuck, Venom the black gooey one. Carnage the red gooey one with extra spikes and arms. When they meet in battle it's like a tornado in a licorice factory.

3.5/5
Black Widow (2021) Eli Glasner If anything Black Widow feels like the movie Marvel should have been made years ago. However what saves the day isn't the action, but Natasha's family.

4.5/5
The Father (2020) Eli Glasner Ultimately I'm struck by Anthony Hopkins' courage. At 83, fearlessly taking on this role with such vulnerability.

3.5/5
Shiva Baby (2020) Eli Glasner What strikes me is director Emma Seligman's voice, confident, clear and very funny.

3.5/5
Cup of Cheer (2020) Eli Glasner The two leads Storm Steenson and Alexander Oliver should be nominated for their willingness to commit to every bit of the director's lunacy.
Posted Dec 09, 2020  Edit critic review
4/5
Greyhound (2020) Eli Glasner The star is the military machinery -- playing the world's deadliest game of hide and seek. With a running time just over 80 minutes...this is a good immersive experience, turn off the lights, turn up the sound and get lost in the chase.
Posted Sep 29, 2020  Edit critic review
Unhinged (2020) Eli Glasner If there's a redeeming feature it's Russell Crowe, who gives the Man, a kind of old fashioned fury, complete with the bourbon-dipped accent.
Posted Sep 29, 2020  Edit critic review
4/5
Hamilton (2020) Eli Glasner There's a line where Hamitlon says "America, you great unfinished symphony, you sent for me", If ever there was a time for this song to be sung, it's now.
Posted Sep 29, 2020  Edit critic review
3/5
Mulan (2020) Eli Glasner This Mulan is more straightforward than subtle. There are battles to be fought, an emperor to aid and a girl embracing her power. I wanted something more challenging, artful, disruptive.

3.5/5
Tenet (2020) Eli Glasner Some films grow richer with each viewing, I fear this one will fade. Best thing I can do is quote one of the time inversion scientists..."don't try to understand it."
Posted Sep 29, 2020  Edit critic review
4.5/5
The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open (2019) Eli Glasner The technique embeds us with these two women. The Body Remembers is about poverty, privilege and two very different experiences of being Indigenous in Canada.

5/5
Parasite (2019) Eli Glasner a savage and spectacular social satire
Posted Dec 01, 2019  Edit critic review
4.5/5
The Irishman (2019) Eli Glasner In the final half hour the movie transmutes from a crime story to a requiem of sorts. This is a man of violence, looking back at the wreckage, looking ahead into the abyss and attempting some kind of reckoning.
Posted Dec 01, 2019  Edit critic review
4.5/5
Motherless Brooklyn (2019) Eli Glasner This is a movie about mooks in fedoras, dames in a mystery, with sultry bebop jazz and is my kind of music in more ways than one. Don't think of it as long, think of it as binge-worthy mini-series compressed into a tidy two and half hours.

3/5
Frozen II (2019) Eli Glasner A sequel that's entertaining but doesn't capture the clear purpose and power of the original.

4/5
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019) Eli Glasner an atom bomb of empathy

Waves (2019) Eli Glasner An intense, visceral experience that builds up into a crescendo of consequences.

2.5/5
The Kitchen (2019) Eli Glasner Not only does the Kitchen romanticize the good old days when paying mobsters used to mean something, but it makes McCarthy and her friends' rise to power it all too easy.

3.5/5
Ready or Not (2019) Eli Glasner It wouldn't work as well as it does if not for Samara Weaving as Grace. She the kind of face you look for in a scream queen, but also that unkillable spirit, which is put to the test.
Posted Oct 07, 2019  Edit critic review
4/5
Hustlers (2019) Eli Glasner A film that starts like the female Magic Mike, edges closer to something like Goodfellas.

3.5/5
Joker (2019) Eli Glasner There's a moment when he crystalizes into the character, we see it coming, but it arrives with a monstrous sort of grace.
Posted Oct 07, 2019  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Judy (2019) Eli Glasner When Judy sings you hear the hurt, the aches and pains she pours into every song. On stage is where Judy shines, offstage is where it stumbles.

5/5
The Farewell (2019) Eli Glasner But behind the forced smiles, this is a family grieving in advance. The director Lulu Wang doesn't resolve every moment but rather lets it breathe as we watch the family working through their feelings.

3.5/5
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019) Eli Glasner Part of the pleasure is watching Johnson rile Statham up and then enjoying the slow swimmer.

3/5
Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood (2019) Eli Glasner Instead of the snap crack pop dialogue of Tarantino's best efforts, we have this shambolic, rambling tale, with a run time of 2 hours and 45 minutes.

3.5/5
Child's Play (2019) Eli Glasner Sure there are disposable roles, like the creepy janitor and Mom's jerk of a boyfriend. But without them, how would Chuckie learn? And really the biggest upgrade is Chuckie himself ...voiced by everyone's favourite space farm boy, Mark Hamill

Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) Eli Glasner Spider-Man: Far From Home feels like super hero movie on autopilot.

The Lion King (2019) Eli Glasner One minute you're looking at an image that looks like it ripped out of National Geographic, then...it TALKS and it seems like Hammy Hampster

Dumbo (2019) Eli Glasner It's like one of those Disney theme park automatons - a lifelike simulation that's hollow inside.

3.5/5
Captain Marvel (2019) Eli Glasner Besides fighting the Skrull conspiracy, she's also fighting a convoluted script. The writers do Captain Marvel no favours by tossing her origin story in the identity crisis movie blender.

5/5
Apollo 11 (2019) Eli Glasner It's a time capsule of an era when a country reached for greatness bigger than borders.

3/5
Isn't It Romantic (2019) Eli Glasner There's some nice self-awareness about this woman trapped in the mushy movie love land. But in the end, Isn't is Romantic wants to have its heart-shaped cake and eat it too.
Posted Mar 30, 2019  Edit critic review
3.5/5
What Men Want (2019) Eli Glasner What Men Want is refreshingly frank about the workplace dynamics Sure the end has a predictable rom-com twist and some momentum issues. But great tunes and great scenes make this the Girls Trip of 2019
