My Old Ass (2024) Melody McCune Park’s message about savoring every moment and not living on autopilot is universal. You’ll find her unique take on the traditional coming-of-age story really gives the genre renewed vim and vigor.

Wynonna Earp: Vengeance (2024) Melody McCune The messiness is part of this series’ brand. It’s perfectly imperfect and a natural continuation, feeling more like a regular episode than a special. There’s so much to love as an Earper, though, as Vengeance welcomes new fans with open arms.

Rebel Without a Cause (1955) Kimberly Pierce While it isn’t progressive in terms of gender and sexuality, the film provides a fascinating breakdown of the cultural clash happening after the Second World War. It paints a picture of a decade in flux.

Bouchra (2025) Monita Roy Mohan Bouchra is gorgeous to look at. It’s wistful and charming. The story feels universal because its characters and interactions are so specific. It’s wonderful to see such a touching and hopeful queer story centering characters from other backgrounds.

Hamlet (2025) Monita Roy Mohan Hamlet is a stunning accomplishment... The performances are enthralling, and Riz Ahmed nails the part with effortless acting. The set pieces are equally captivating... This adaptation is a must-watch for any Shakespeare fan. The Bard would be proud.

California Schemin' (2025) Monita Roy Mohan A well-told, tightly written, edited, acted, and directed film. You’ll dance to the rap songs, but feel the stress before and after as the boys continue their con. This film is unmissable for music fans.

Meadowlarks (2025) Monita Roy Mohan Buoyed by outstanding performances and a tightly edited story, Meadowlarks is a moving and touching film that will have you bawling for 90 minutes.
Posted Oct 02, 2025  Edit critic review
Frankenstein (2025) Monita Roy Mohan Frankenstein rings hollow. It’s literally style over substance, and brings nothing new... it forgets to examine the humanity, or lack thereof, of the characters. The writing is so tired and unoriginal. The CGI and effects look heinously artificial.
Posted Sep 27, 2025  Edit critic review
Rental Family (2025) Monita Roy Mohan Rental Family is a lovely, feel-good film. With a Japanese creator at the helm, the film navigates the complexities of Japanese culture for global audiences without mocking it. Despite some heavy elements, the humor is never far, nor is it forced.
Posted Sep 14, 2025  Edit critic review
Sacrifice (2025) Monita Roy Mohan While visually striking and generally amusing, Sacrifice works best as a satire when it embraces its larger cast of intriguing and annoying caricatures. Once it moves away from them and delves into its weirdness, it loses its way.
Posted Sep 12, 2025  Edit critic review
The Choral (2025) Monita Roy Mohan The Choral, in the end, feels like it’s trying to do too much, jumping from note to note without combining the symphonies. Polished performances and immersive rehearsal scenes can’t shake the problematic elements of the story.
Posted Sep 12, 2025  Edit critic review
EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) Monita Roy Mohan EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert coasts on the power of Elvis. He’s amazing. But that’s not to the credit of the filmmakers... EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert forgets to actually tell Elvis’s story. Elvis may be epic, but the film is not.

Red Sonja (2025) Diana Keng Red Sonja is exactly as labelled, a solid escapist adventure with characters bursting with comic book intent and drive.
Posted Aug 30, 2025  Edit critic review
Osiris (2025) Diana Keng While it’s not a movie that stands up to detailed scrutiny, Osiris is packed with solid action scenes, lots of alien conflict, and epitomizes the need to survive against all odds. Even when they’re never in your favor
Posted Jul 26, 2025  Edit critic review
A Nice Indian Boy (2024) Monita Roy Mohan A Nice Indian Boy works not only because we’ve been starved of good rom-coms that don’t centre the same kind of white heterosexual romances but because it’s more than just a gay romance. It’s a coming-to-terms film.
Posted Jul 17, 2025  Edit critic review
The Wedding Banquet (2025) Monita Roy Mohan The Wedding Banquet doesn’t know how to develop the characters as people. You don’t dislike the characters; you simply don’t understand them. The stakes feel sanded down; the comedy is virtually absent.
Posted Jul 17, 2025  Edit critic review
The Uninvited (2024) Monita Roy Mohan In general, the trouble with The Uninvited is that it’s rife with tropes. The excitement and tensions of the first two acts dissipate in the second half of the film because so many cliches crop up....And it’s all been seen and done before.
Posted Jul 17, 2025  Edit critic review
The Old Guard 2 (2025) Monita Roy Mohan Even if the story is half-told, The Old Guard 2 feels immersive. The characters are so lovable, they wind their way into your heart. You may not agree with all their decisions, but they definitely make sense.
Posted Jul 17, 2025  Edit critic review
Christmas in the Spotlight (2024) Diana Keng Yes, the twists are a bit predictable, and this isn’t the film to look to for diversity or hot takes. But as far as telling a story that many people think they know already in an innovative and entertaining way, it has a perfectly good heart.

4/5
Civil War (2024) Kimberly Pierce The main thing that can be said about Civil War is to know your limits. This movie isn’t fun.... Ultimately though, this is a beautifully made, visceral and haunting picture that deserves respect.

4/5
Challengers (2024) Kimberly Pierce Guadagnino continues to be a fascinating filmmaker with so much to say. With his latest film, Challengers, the versatile director is in the mood to have some fun. This movie somehow manages to make tennis thirsty, quirky and above all else, delightful.

3.5/5
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) Kimberly Pierce Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire comes into theaters this week with one purpose, giving audiences fabulous, monster-fueled battles. While there probably aren’t as many as there could be... what the movie does give us is big, loud, and fun.

3/5
Mean Girls (2024) Kimberly Pierce Mean Girls sees itself as the 2004 movie’s young Gen-Z cousin. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fun, enjoyable movie with plenty to love for fans of the musical. However, it’s difficult to see why fans of the 2004 film wouldn’t just watch that movie.

3.5/5
Drive-Away Dolls (2024) Kimberly Pierce This comedic, political thriller knows exactly where it shines. Its characters come to life thanks to vibrant performances from Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan. It’s a joy to see and I for one, can’t wait to watch it again.

5/5
Dune: Part Two (2024) Kimberly Pierce When all is said and done, this can only be described as an unapologetic rave.... Director Denis Villeneuve jumps into what could easily be a by-the-books franchise sequel and creates a cinematic feast for the senses.
Posted Apr 07, 2024  Edit critic review
4/5
Immaculate (2024) Kimberly Pierce When all is said and done, Immaculate largely accomplishes what it sets out to do. In an environment that is increasingly reliant on not only high-concept horror but also shock factor, it will perhaps be a bit tame for some.

4.5/5
Late Night with the Devil (2023) Kimberly Pierce Late Night with the Devil is a punchy and tense horror thriller that sits with you. In a beautiful blending of solid performances, innovative storytelling, and crafty filmmaking, this movie has emerged with a vengeance this spring.

2.5/5
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024) Kimberly Pierce When all is said and done, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire stumbles under the weight of expectations. While it is such a joy to see some of these characters reunite, the film struggles to keep the new story moving forward.

4/5
Wicked Little Letters (2023) Kimberly Pierce It should come as no surprise that Wicked Little Letters can win over the most stone-cold heart. The historical comedy smoothly finds its footing thanks to a beautiful blending of heartfelt performances and a savvy script.

4.5/5
Monkey Man (2024) Kimberly Pierce When all is said and done, if Dev Patel can direct a movie like this, he shouldn’t be wasted as James Bond. He needs to continue making movies and telling stories. Monkey Man taps into something really special.

4.5/5
The Iron Claw (2023) Kimberly Pierce This isn’t simply a wrestling biopic. This movie is gritty and painfully real. This is primarily thanks to the powerful performances throughout this ensemble. Zac Efron has never been better than this.

3.5/5
Napoleon (2023) Kimberly Pierce Ultimately, strong world-building is Napoleon‘s true selling point. Ridley Scott unsurprisingly puts forward a visually stunning feature. It looks as rich and vivid as this history should be. However, this is largely a case of style over substance.

Maestro (2023) Kimberly Pierce Cooper’s subtle directorial approach smartly allows his actors to do the talking in a glowing biopic that not only basks in nostalgia, it understands it.

5/5
Saltburn (2023) Kimberly Pierce I am pulling no punches when I admit that Saltburn is one of my favorite movies of 2023. Emerald Fennell’s newest film is brave. It’s uncomfortable and it’s ready to make you revel in the weirdness.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023) Kimberly Pierce Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom finds itself weighed down by a clunky script with no idea what it wants to be.

The Color Purple (2023) Kimberly Pierce Catchy songs and beautiful performances come together with riveting complexity to put this classic story in front of a new generation of audiences.

3/5
Migration (2023) Kimberly Pierce When all is said and done, Migration is fine. It’s a fully serviceable family film to check out around the holidays. However, a “fine” family film and a “must-see” for the whole family are two different things.

4/5
American Fiction (2023) Kimberly Pierce American Fiction is an ambitious drama. While the film is helped by magnetic performances... issues with the script prevent it from fully sticking the landing... a lack of narrative focus dulls the power bubbling under the surface.

5/5
All of Us Strangers (2023) Kimberly Pierce This small, simple film is the unexpected sweetheart of the holiday season and it’s a must-see. It’s my favorite film of 2023... it will be hard to beat. It’s weepy and emotional, but in that, it’s a beautifully touching experience.
Posted Dec 23, 2023  Edit critic review
Jagged Mind (2023) Melody McCune Overall, Jagged Mind is a fun watch for Pride Month and beyond that’s worth a sit-down for the compelling premise alone.

American Cherry (2023) Melody McCune Overall, American Cherry isn’t without its flaws, but the performances and visuals make for an enjoyable viewing experience.

C+
Bad Behaviour (2023) Melody McCune Jennifer Connelly carries Bad Behaviour on her shoulders as the narrative wavers in committing to what it wants to be. However, looking beyond the rough edges and structural issues, you’ll find cinematic fragments of beauty and potentiality.

A-
Magazine Dreams (2023) Melody McCune Magazine Dreams is a poignant, powerful and compelling story with outstanding work from Jonathan Majors. He’s a tour de force and is well-deserving of the critical acclaim he’s receiving.

Enola Holmes 2 (2022) Melody McCune All in all, Enola Holmes 2 is a charming and playful romp that maintains the boisterous energy of the first film. It wears its heart on its sleeve while pulling you in for a silly yet undeniably fun experience.

Matriarch (2022) Melody McCune If anything, watch it for their exemplary work and the delicacy with which they approach their characters’ complex relationship.
Posted Oct 20, 2022  Edit critic review
4/5
Do Revenge (2022) Kimberly Pierce Do Revenge is a teen movie that isn’t afraid to take some delightful chances. As a genre, teen movies can often be so formulaic and rigid. However, this up-and-coming team comes at this story with not only a look into the future but an eye for the past

3/5
See How They Run (2022) Kimberly Pierce See How They Run is cinematic candy. It looks great, the characters are memorable and it keeps audiences on their toes until the very end. Just try and guess who the killer is! As they say, “It’s always the one you least suspect.”
Posted Sep 29, 2022  Edit critic review
2/5
Don't Worry Darling (2022) Kimberly Pierce Ultimately, Don’t Worry Darling is best described as style over substance filmmaking. The movie wastes a really interesting world to set up a poorly executed twist. It is desperate to be incredibly smart and edgy but loses a step in sloppy execution.

4.5/5
The Justice of Bunny King (2021) Kimberly Pierce This complex character study is a challenging.... (but) beautiful look at the strength and resilience of humanity. We’re capable of reaching the highest highs and the lowest lows, but even at our lowest, we can bounce back from anything

1.5/5
Blonde (2022) Kimberly Pierce Blonde is only interested in an examination of pain and suffering. It is impossible to see in any way how this movie comes from a place of love. Blonde is riveted by the pain and misery of a woman who deserved so much better.
