Badass Beauty Queen: The Story of Anastasia Lin (2017) Adriana Gomez-Weston Despite the many attempts to stifle Lin's message, she has emerged stronger...a documentary of which has been years in the making, and one that deserves to be seen.

2/5
Where Hands Touch (2018) Adriana Gomez-Weston While Where Hands Touch has its tender moments, and manages to draw some teary eyes, its central romance becomes more outlandish as the film progresses, becoming borderline distasteful.

3/5
The Perfection (2018) Adriana Gomez-Weston It's the kind of ride that allows you to believe you're heading in the right direction, but then takes a sharp left turn for an unexpected detour.

3/4
Teen Spirit (2018) Adriana Gomez-Weston Teen Spirit isn't revolutionary, but it's a feelgood film that transports you to another realm. The singing sequences feel like music videos intertwined together, and the music pulses through the surround sound, creating a concert-like atmosphere.

Tully (2018) Sara Clements Tully smashes Hollywood's glamorous image of motherhood.

4/5
In the Fade (2017) Sara Clements This powerful, troubling, and topically relevant narrative is a triumph, with Kruger giving a powerhouse performance that tops most -- if not all -- performances seen on the [2018] award circuit.

3/5
Alex Strangelove (2018) Sara Clements A touching film that hits familiar John Hughes-esque territory, but delivers a raunchy, comedic and heartwarming story of self-discovery.

3.5/5
The Spy Who Dumped Me (2018) Sara Clements Fogel's idea for The Spy Who Dumped Me is incredibly smart, but where she shines in directing, she lacks in writing. But as summer popcorn movies go, it's as entertaining as any.

3.5/5
A Simple Favor (2018) Sara Clements [A Simple Favor] is twisted and raunchy, as all high budget Lifetime movies should be.

3.5/5
Set It Up (2018) Sara Clements Set It Up's visual representation of assistant horror stories and New York City romance is a fun start to the summer for couples who want to take their date nights in.

2.5/5
The Nun (2018) Sara Clements [The Nun] had the potential to be something more, but the film lacked the authentic storytelling that makes The Conjuring series so good.

4.5/5
Colette (2018) Sara Clements It's a poignant, unabashedly feminist period piece that is playful and honest in its storytelling of a young girl's coming of age, her exploration of her own womanhood, and her fight against the patriarchy.

2/5
Bel Canto (2018) Sara Clements Bel Canto tries to seem ambitious in its narrative, but turns into a tonal mishmash whose success, ultimately, lies with the viewer.

3.5/5
Clara (2018) Sara Clements Just like other works of the genre, like Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, [Clara] provides storytelling that pays so much time to the science, while also providing a very human narrative.

3.5/5
The Other Side of the Wind (2018) Sara Clements Whether or not the film is beautifully atrocious or just atrocious is going to be divisive, but ultimately, The Other Side of the Wind portrays a director contemplating his legacy, and in Welles's case, it cements it.

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018) Hannah Ryan This is the true wonder, that even those that can barely carry a tune, or whom do not appear to contain a single rhythmic bone in their body, enjoy themselves without a care in the world. In times such as these, we need films like Mamma Mia...

Wild Nights With Emily (2018) Hannah Ryan Olnek has crafted a lovely, heart-warming piece which reminds us of the importance of revisiting and challenging historical narratives and leaves one in both fits of laughter and in need of a few moments of contemplation.

The Florida Project (2017) Hannah Ryan Like American Honey, what The Florida Project manages to do so well is capture the small joys that come with life on the poverty line.

Battle of the Sexes (2017) Hannah Ryan [Battle of the Sexes] presents itself as a thoughtful, warm snapshot into the life of Billie Jean King and a powerful depiction of the turmoil that she faced both on and off court.

The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018) Hannah Ryan Though the subject matter is dark and often horrifying, [director Desiree] Akhavan's approach is funny, measured, and deeply affirming.
Posted Jan 17, 2019  Edit critic review
Thelma (2017) Hannah Ryan [A] brilliant meditation on one young woman's discovery of the wants she has stifled for so long.

Raw (2016) Hannah Ryan This simmering sense of dread is part of what makes [director Julia] Ducornau's debut work so well, as the feeling that Justine's carnal needs know no limits creeps around throughout the film.
