Parasite (2019) Malik Adán Parasite ups the ante by presenting the (sometimes literal) moral depths of the dream of class mobility.

A Violent Man (2017) Malik Adán ... the film is still a worthy installment in the neo-noir cannon, if only for its pursuit of a story that isn't styled after Harmony Korine's particular brand of "chaos in paradise" narratives in America's southeastern corridor.

Wrestle (2018) Malik Adán In its sobering conclusions, Wrestle has us question how much we undervalue poor children's lives, circumstances and education in this country.

Honey Boy (2019) Malik Adán Where LaBeouf's deeply personal story provides the framework, Alma Har'el's direction ensures the film has a classic, empathic quality that rises above simple tearjerker status.

Native Son (2019) Malik Adán Johnson's debut-buoyed by Parks' interpolation between adaption and rewriting Bigger's life-is a new direction to present story and emotion in their most visceral and affecting forms.

The Last Black Man in San Francisco (2019) Malik Adán What I've seen, and what I'm pretty sure will come to other viewers, is a film whose brightest moments do the unforgiving work of carrying its weakest elements.

Selah and the Spades (2019) Malik Adán Selah and The Spades powerfully gives voice to a form of unlikeable black girlhood, allowing Selah and her peers to be human, even if that means being shitty.

Sweetheart (2019) Malik Adán Sweetheart is almost akin to traditional sushi; by paring down the monster movie to its best elements, viewers will find the film to be as refreshing as it is momentary.

Venom (2018) Malik Adán If nothing else, it's a mostly fun monster movie that proves Tom Hardy can put on any mask and shine through.

If Beale Street Could Talk (2018) Malik Adán By refusing to excise Baldwin's vision from the script, Jenkins & co have built a dialogue with an ancestor, proving the resonance of his words in a modern world while affirming the value and future of a black love everlasting, evermore.

Shoplifters (2018) Malik Adán If Satoshi Kon's Tokyo Godfathers pursued the 'lost, and then found child' narrative for general heartwarming effect, Shoplifters pivots into darker, more subtle territory.
