Red Sonja (2025) Sean Gilman With this history, expectations had to be low for a new version of Red Sonja. But, in a pleasant surprise, it’s found a novel way to avoid the Robert E. Howard curse: it doesn’t try to be a Howard adaptation at all.

Belle (2021) Sean Gilman The restraint takes a scene that could have been merely comic into something as beautiful as it is silly. It’s slice-of-life filmmaking at its best.

Malignant (2021) Sean Gilman A fake world terrorized by a backwards monster running around creating chaos and distorting reality with reckless abandon. It's the true story of America in the 21st century.

The Card Counter (2020) Sean Gilman Their masochistic tortures are rooted in a fundamental narcissism and Schrader can't resist depicting them as the doomed romantic heroes they believe themselves to be.

Eternals (2021) Sean Gilman It's baffling how low-energy Eternals is. It looks like a film made by people who work in an office.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) Sean Gilman Like the first Venom, Let There be Carnage is crude and tasteless and very funny, with more physical comedy than all 20+ MCU films put together.

Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time (2021) Sean Gilman I don't know that I've ever been so moved by home movies in an otherwise pretty standard biographical documentary before.

Licorice Pizza (2021) Sean Gilman The film is far from a nostalgia trip. . . it's as much about what was, and is, wrong with America as it is about classic rock and questionable fashion.

Cry Macho (2021) Sean Gilman Not a great movie, but Eastwood is a great director and a great star ... who makes his own films whatever way he wants ... and that is more than enough to make a good movie.

The Green Knight (2021) Sean Gilman Look at it as a Daniel Lanois production, swampy and mysterious, with echoes of the old and weird but not quite the real thing.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train (2020) Sean Gilman Slick and bright, with exciting action sequences and compelling world-building alongside an unabashedly earnest emotional core.

Monster Hunter (2020) Sean Gilman [Anderson] embraces the structures and conceits of the genre while tuning them to his own idiosyncratic interests (maps, caves, helping Milla Jovovich look really cool, etc).

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) Sean Gilman Color and shadow are drained out of nearly every scene leaving a bland, flat wasteland of boring dialogue and little emotion.
