Truth & Treason (2025) 83% EDIT “I can’t help wondering how much more effective the story of Helmuth Hubener would be – how much more harrowing, how much more challenging, how much more tangible – if it were told by a director willing to take some narrative and stylistic risks. ” – Battleship Pretension Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Brave the Dark (2023) 74% EDIT “It may not be the standard picture of heroism but it is a much more attainable one.” – Battleship Pretension Jan 30, 2025 Full Review The Forge (2024) 63% EDIT “Unfortunately, after years of compromise and stubbornness, these Heaven-minded filmmakers have successfully crafted a road that leads directly to a cinematic Hell.” – Battleship Pretension Oct 18, 2024 Full Review Am I Racist? (2024) 56% EDIT “Half-formed, at best. ” – Battleship Pretension Sep 19, 2024 Full Review The Becomers (2023) 94% EDIT “The result is romantic, thought provoking, and even darkly funny, while remaining committed to showing the perils of completely unfettered love.” – Battleship Pretension Aug 31, 2024 Full Review Sting (2024) 70% EDIT “For some reason, the spider is never truly frightening.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 16, 2024 Full Review Lady Ballers (2023) 40% EDIT “It is not interested in convincing its intended viewers of its point of view, but in congratulating them for already having it. ” – Battleship Pretension Jan 12, 2024 Full Review Nefarious (2023) 35% EDIT “After kicking things off with a pretty solid fake out, the film settles into a repetitive rhythm that quickly becomes tiresome.” – Battleship Pretension Jun 19, 2023 Full Review Peter Pan & Wendy (2023) 63% EDIT “In the end, Peter Pan & Wendy is a fantasy film that undercuts its own sense of wonder.” – Battleship Pretension May 3, 2023 Full Review They/Them (2022) 33% EDIT “Logan’s first outing as a director is well-intentioned, but artistically-confused.” – Battleship Pretension Aug 6, 2022 Full Review Thirteen Lives (2022) 85% EDIT “... manages to be inspirational without being overly sentimental and technical without being cold.” – Battleship Pretension Jul 29, 2022 Full Review Terror on the Prairie (2022) 80% EDIT “... a solid, engaging modern Western.” – Battleship Pretension Jul 26, 2022 Full Review Shut In (2022) 56% EDIT “... recommendable primarily for some organically tense moments between engaging characters, well-realized by the performers.” – Battleship Pretension Jul 14, 2022 Full Review Run Hide Fight (2020) 30% EDIT “... a fine movie that is completely undercut by its director’s attempt to bring together two tones that, it would seem, simply cannot work.” – Battleship Pretension Jul 6, 2022 Full Review Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) 63% EDIT “... chooses to take some thematic risks, telling a story that deepens its character instead of merely winding him up and letting him go. ” – Battleship Pretension Jul 6, 2022 Full Review Elvis (2022) 77% EDIT “Among the many things this film does is reinforce the true unknowability of American icons.” – Battleship Pretension Jun 24, 2022 Full Review Jurassic World Dominion (2022) 29% EDIT “There are plenty of films that require us to turn our brains off in order to enjoy them, but Jurassic World: Dominion requires much more. It’s not enough for your brain to be off; you have to be brain dead.” – Battleship Pretension Jun 9, 2022 Full Review The Lost City (2022) 78% EDIT “As it is, despite the film being perfectly competent, I dont recommend seeing it. Because you already have. Many times.” – Battleship Pretension Mar 26, 2022 Full Review Death on the Nile (2022) 62% EDIT “The film may not be as fun as one might expect, but it is perhaps more engaging than your standard boilerplate whodunit.” – Battleship Pretension Feb 15, 2022 Full Review Cyrano (2021) 85% EDIT “It truly is a modern masterpiece.” – Battleship Pretension Dec 16, 2021 Full Review Wolf (2021) 45% EDIT “This is a film that slowly dissolves right before our eyes, and even the best of directorial intentions can't keep it together.” – Battleship Pretension Dec 3, 2021 Full Review House of Gucci (2021) 61% EDIT “...exhausting, haughty, and ultimately empty.” – Battleship Pretension Nov 24, 2021 Full Review Eternals (2021) 47% EDIT “In the end, Eternals is a fine movie - and sometimes significantly more than that - that is too mired in exposition and predictable, franchise-informed plotting.” – Battleship Pretension Nov 1, 2021 Full Review Small Engine Repair (2021) 78% EDIT “...Small Engine Repair is a bit uneven in its plotting but is consistently engrossing in its execution.” – Battleship Pretension Sep 24, 2021 Full Review Mondo Hollywoodland (2021) 88% EDIT “While imperfect, Mondo Hollywoodland has an energy to it that many big-budget mainstream movies can only dream of.” – Battleship Pretension Sep 7, 2021 Full Review
