Mother!
“Cinematic version of sleep paralysis. Aronofsky has embraced his chaotic narrative without remorse.”
Brigsby Bear
“An off-beat and surprisingly moving first film starring/co-written by ‘SNL’ performer/scribe Kyle Mooney.”
Detroit
“Needed to be a little more enlightening to capture the full essence of what we’re witnessing.”
War for the Planet of the Apes
“Reeves has taken this re-imagining to a level we could not have predicted.”
Beatriz at Dinner
“Dialogue bites without allowing the main characters to maul each other with their incompatible beliefs.”
Alien: Covenant
“Passable sci-fi fare. Katherine Waterston is wonderful and Sigourney Weaver-esque.”
Beauty and the Beast
“Wonderful set pieces, costumes, and childhood memories aside, this version is fairly unexceptional.”
Get Out
“Tonally satisfying and provocative. Director Jordan Peele makes a clever, anti-racism statement.”
The Space Between Us
“Might be enough to placate some less discerning audiences, but it’s inauthentic.”
La La Land
“An adorable, choreographed-to-a-fault work of art. Stone and Gosling light up every scene.”
Lion
“Tender, sincere and will definitely be a hard watch for anyone who has ever lost a child or parent.”
Fences
“Incredible performances, which is reason enough to forgive the film’s shortcomings.”
