A-
Mad God (2021) Clint Worthington There’s a sick beauty in all the madness, from the painstaking effort of Tippett’s work to the bizarre clarity of his mission.

B+
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) Caroline Siede Coogler and company haven’t made a perfect Marvel movie, but they have made one that channels loss into thought-provoking artistry.

B-
My Policeman (2022) Caroline Siede As a gentle period romance, the film mostly works, particularly whenever Dawson’s mesmerizing performance is front and center. As a launching pad for Styles’ acting career, however, "My Policeman" fails to get off the ground.

B
Causeway (2022) Caroline Siede This is the kind of plain-and-simple story Lawrence hasn’t really made since her 2010 breakout in "Winter’s Bone." And that simplicity — though not always perfectly deployed — is still deeply captivating.

B-
The Good Nurse (2022) Jesse Hassenger It's good enough for 2003 — and that makes it an oddly welcome addition to 2022.
Posted Oct 29, 2022  Edit critic review
Beast (2022) Clint Worthington It’s not the most robust cinematic meal, but as a style exercise, it earns a modest place among the rest of the pride.

C
Ticket to Paradise (2022) Caroline Siede Instead of delivering either madcap screwball fun or a relaxed hangout vibe, Ticket to Paradise mostly just feels inert, as if everyone involved assumed that once they had Clooney and Roberts onboard the rest of the movie would take care of itself.
Posted Oct 21, 2022  Edit critic review
B-
Black Adam (2022) Caroline Siede The messiest superhero movie this side of Morbius, Black Adam nevertheless has a certain charm and even a few intriguing — if not downright radical — ideas on its margins.
Posted Oct 21, 2022  Edit critic review
B+
Bros (2022) Caroline Siede Step aside, Hugh Grant and Diane Keaton, the pantheon of great, neurotic rom-com leads has found a new king in Billy Eichner.
Posted Oct 01, 2022  Edit critic review
C
Don't Worry Darling (2022) Caroline Siede Dressed up like a feminist commentary with something important to say, "Don’t Worry Darling" ultimately winds up feeling as empty as one of Alice’s eggshells.
Posted Sep 23, 2022  Edit critic review
B+
The Woman King (2022) Caroline Siede The kind of nuanced tapestry of the female experience that can only come from a movie centered around multiple women rather than just one.
Posted Sep 22, 2022  Edit critic review
C+
13: The Musical (2022) Caroline Siede "13: The Musical" taps into the wholesome innocence of middle school, but misses out on the complexities of the age group it’s ostensibly celebrating.
Posted Aug 12, 2022  Edit critic review
B-
Vengeance (2022) Caroline Siede "Vengeance" ultimately turns out to be a bit of morality play with a moral that feels unearned. Still, the journey to getting there is unique enough (and funny enough) to recommend.
Posted Aug 08, 2022  Edit critic review
B
Not Okay (2022) Caroline Siede The appreciable audacity of what [writer/director Quinn] Shephard is trying to do coupled with the stellar work of a uniformly great cast make this off-beat satire worth a "like and subscribe."
Posted Aug 08, 2022  Edit critic review
B-
Bullet Train (2022) Caroline Siede In aiming to create a sense of non-stop comedic chaos, "Bullet Train" winds up feeling a little too calculated for its own good. It makes it to the station, but the ride is a bumpy one.
Posted Aug 05, 2022  Edit critic review
B
DC League of Super-Pets (2022) Caroline Siede "League of Super-Pets" doesn’t push animation forward like this year’s earlier animal team-up film "The Bad Guys," ... but it leans into old-fashioned, slightly anarchic Saturday morning cartoon vibes and soars on its own terms
Posted Jul 29, 2022  Edit critic review
B
My Old School (2022) Caroline Siede Though this upbeat documentary centers on an unbelievable real-life hoax... it also captures a feeling that’s far more relatable: The fun of gathering all your old friends together to discuss the wildest thing that happened during your time at school.
Posted Jul 22, 2022  Edit critic review
A
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (2021) Caroline Siede This kid-friendly A24 movie is somehow whimsical, bittersweet, life-affirming and a little bit heartbreaking all at once. And that makes it the perfect movie for the moment.
Posted Jul 16, 2022  Edit critic review
C
Where the Crawdads Sing (2022) Caroline Siede [Where the Crawdads Sing] plays more like a glossy Nicholas Sparks-flavored melodrama than a tale that actually has any meaningful connection to the messy real world — wetland or otherwise.
Posted Jul 12, 2022  Edit critic review
B
Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) Caroline Siede "Love and Thunder" isn’t the same kind of comedic crowdpleaser as "Ragnarok." But for those who wanted just a touch more heft back in the "Thor" franchise, it’s a worthy installment.
Posted Jul 06, 2022  Edit critic review
B
The Black Phone (2021) Robert Daniels This is a movie meant for kids to encounter, enjoy, and hail as a cult classic in 20 years.
Posted Jun 29, 2022  Edit critic review
B+
Elvis (2022) Caroline Siede Luhrmann sees Elvis as a mythic American figure or maybe even a full-on superhero — and he positions the tone of his film accordingly, somewhere between Orson Welles’ "Citizen Kane" and Sam Raimi’s "Spider-Man" trilogy.
Posted Jun 23, 2022  Edit critic review
B+
Fire Island (2022) Allison Shoemaker Joel Kim Booster, hear our plea: do "Sense and Sensibility" next.
Posted Jun 11, 2022  Edit critic review
C
Jurassic World Dominion (2022) Caroline Siede If you’ve been waiting for a "Jurassic Park" movie that primarily focuses on human clones and giant bugs, you’re in luck!
Posted Jun 10, 2022  Edit critic review
B+
Top Gun: Maverick (2022) Caroline Siede This is old-fashioned summer popcorn movie fun in all its high-octane glory. And Cruise is just the leading man for the mission.
Posted May 26, 2022  Edit critic review
C+
Men (2022) Allison Shoemaker If you’re not willing to engage with the complexities found behind whatever door you decide to kick open in your quest to make your point, you’re more likely to end up with a bumper sticker than a story.
Posted May 21, 2022  Edit critic review
B
Downton Abbey: A New Era (2022) Caroline Siede "A New Era" is both more focused and more substantial than the first film, which makes it especially satisfying to step back into its cozily rose-colored, slightly ridiculous take on early 20th century England.
Posted May 20, 2022  Edit critic review
C+
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) Caroline Siede Save for one cool (and brief) visual sequence, this multiverse feels less mad than studio-mandated.
Posted May 06, 2022  Edit critic review
B
The Bad Guys (2022) Caroline Siede If "The Bad Guys" doesn't enter the top tier of the animated echelon, it's still a fun time at the movies and a strong calling card for Perifel as an animation director to watch.
Posted Apr 22, 2022  Edit critic review
C+
Ambulance (2022) Allison Shoemaker Stupid, in this case, is both a complaint and a compliment.
Posted Apr 09, 2022  Edit critic review
Under the Influence (2022) Caroline Siede While Neistat occasionally struggles to shake a YouTube-honed sense of melodrama as he builds up to some of the more dramatic events in the Dobrik saga, in the end, what stands out most about "Under The Influence" is how even-handed it is.
Posted Apr 01, 2022  Edit critic review
B+
Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022) Caroline Siede If "Bodies Bodies Bodies" doesn't reinvent the slasher genre, it gives it a refreshingly contemporary sense of bite — one that will appeal to horror and dark comedy fans alike.
Posted Apr 01, 2022  Edit critic review
The Thief Collector (2022) Allison Shoemaker An entertaining and surprisingly suspenseful story of art, compulsion, chance and audacity.
Posted Apr 01, 2022  Edit critic review
I Love My Dad (2022) Allison Shoemaker Its hard to dismiss the sense that Morosini would have been better off picking one or two of the three massive responsibilities hes shouldering here as writer, actor and director.
Posted Apr 01, 2022  Edit critic review
C-
Morbius (2022) Caroline Siede Alas, "Morbius" is too bound to comic book movie convention to become the overt gay vampire superhero melodrama it probably should have been.
Posted Apr 01, 2022  Edit critic review
B
Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood (2022) Caroline Siede "Apollo 10½" does at times feel like an older relative monologuing at you about every minute detail from their childhood — from what they ate for dinner to what they watched on TV ... But that myopia is also part of its charm.
Posted Apr 01, 2022  Edit critic review
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) Allison Shoemaker The world of the film is wild, but Yeoh acts as its core, a gravitational force that keeps even the butt-plug battle anchored in the truth of that journey. What a movie.
Posted Mar 30, 2022  Edit critic review
Nightmare Alley (2021) Caroline Siede Though "Nightmare Alley" is too long and meandering to totally work as a cohesive film, theres no doubt it has images that will stick with you none more so than its haunting final shot.
Posted Mar 26, 2022  Edit critic review
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) Caroline Siede A film that wrestles with the pressure of living your best life and finds hope in the idea of living your worst one, even if you have to jump through multiverses to realize it. In that way, the Daniels have crafted a film as weird and messy as life itself
Posted Mar 24, 2022  Edit critic review
B-
The Lost City (2022) Caroline Siede "The Lost City" adds up to a comedic effort that's not bad, exactly. It's just that when a movie is this close to being great, you wish it could've kept searching for treasure instead of settling for staying back at base camp.
Posted Mar 24, 2022  Edit critic review
The Outfit (2022) Clint Worthington Frankly, we should have more films that play like theater, and "The Outfit" is a refreshing reminder that that tradition is alive and well.
Posted Mar 20, 2022  Edit critic review
A-
Turning Red (2022) Caroline Siede Theres a special kind of joy that comes from watching a film thats completely confident in its eccentricities. One made by a filmmaker who ... seemingly got the chance to execute their vision uncompromised.
Posted Mar 12, 2022  Edit critic review
C+
The Batman (2022) Caroline Siede Within the confines of its PG-13 rating, The Batman is much more unnerving than previous Batman installments ... The trouble is grafting a somber pastiche onto a superhero base coat can sometimes feel more exhausting than rewarding.
Posted Feb 28, 2022  Edit critic review
Studio 666 (2022) Clint Worthington Something like "Studio 666" fits more in the milieu of a Funny or Die video, a cute gag with appeal that rests mostly on the "wouldn't it be funny if?"-ness of it all. And yet, within those auspices, it's just charming enough to work.

C+
Uncharted (2022) Caroline Siede "Uncharted" isnt great cinema. Its not even great action-adventure cinema. But if there are better ways to spend two hours, well, there are worse ones too.
Posted Feb 18, 2022  Edit critic review
My Old School (2022) Allison Shoemaker Even if some of the stylistic flourishes don't work, McLeod has two invaluable elements for a documentarian: a doozy of a story and a unique perspective.
Posted Feb 04, 2022  Edit critic review
Mija (2022) Allison Shoemaker Director Isabel Castro's relaxed, poignant debut feature is a testament to good decision-making.
Posted Feb 04, 2022  Edit critic review
Hatching (2022) Allison Shoemaker A squirmy, anxiety-inducing pleasure... A body-horror/creature-feature hybrid done up in florals, feathers and lace. Maybe don't eat first.
Posted Feb 04, 2022  Edit critic review
I Didn't See You There (2022) Allison Shoemaker ...A challenging but essential viewing experience.
Posted Feb 04, 2022  Edit critic review
Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power (2022) Allison Shoemaker "Brainwashed" isn't entirely successful as a cinematic experience, but its arguments make it worth a look.
