Apollo 11 (2019) 99% A “It is a depiction of a wondrous human experience, told with startling clarity. It's as close as any of us will ever get to that big gray rock floating far above our heads.” – Quartz Mar 23, 2019 Full Review Us (2019) 93% A- “Us puts a huge, can't-miss spotlight on Peele's acute sense of the iconic moment. Every other scene, line, image, and music cue seem destined to live on in the collective cultural psyche.” – Quartz Mar 14, 2019 Full Review The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018) 89% B+ “Despite having only the Western genre and a vague thematic through-line of "death" in common, the stories build on one another, subtly cohering into something greater than the sum of its parts.” – Quartz Nov 20, 2018 Full Review Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) 60% C “It's cautious and inoffensive. And that's exactly why it's so disappointing. The Freddie Mercury biopic is the antithesis of its subject's abundant energy, his fearless artistry.” – Quartz Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Suspiria (2018) 65% B+ “Guadagnino bounces around from calm to frenetic and back again, instilling each scene with a sense of unpredictability-it can all cohere or implode at any moment.” – Quartz Oct 26, 2018 Full Review Mid90s (2018) 81% B “Without this believable group of kids, Mid90s would have fallen apart. It's a testament to Hill's ability as a writer and director that it didn't, that he was able to elicit such strong performances.” – Quartz Oct 19, 2018 Full Review 22 July (2018) 80% B “Greengrass manages to avoid turning the film into an utterly dire, hopeless watch. It's devastating, to be sure, but not defeatist.” – Quartz Oct 19, 2018 Full Review First Man (2018) 87% A “First Man isn't the giant leap for mankind. It's Armstrong's one small step, and it's all the better for it.” – Quartz Oct 10, 2018 Full Review A Star Is Born (2018) 90% A- “Cooper finds a new voice too, as a director. The actor understands how to stage a scene (as well as stage a literal stage-the concert scenes are stunning) in ways that, like the acting, feel instinctive.” – Quartz Oct 7, 2018 Full Review Eighth Grade (2018) 99% A “Beneath the veneer of a quippy teenage dramedy, Eighth Grade is a devastating study of anxiety, depicting with keen insight the crushing weight of the disease.” – Quartz Aug 27, 2018 Full Review BlacKkKlansman (2018) 96% A- “Stallworth's operation is just one small victory in an ongoing struggle, and Lee makes sure we leave the theater knowing that struggle is far from over.” – Quartz Aug 27, 2018 Full Review The Shape of Water (2017) 92% B+ “The film proves that intentional ambiguity doesn't necessarily mean a story ends unsettled. That it doesn't explicitly tell you which interpretation to have makes all of them more powerful.” – Quartz Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Annihilation (2018) 88% A “It's a thrilling, original, relentlessly disquieting existential nightmare of a movie.” – Quartz Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Black Panther (2018) 96% B+ “It's the most formidable Marvel film to date; a cinematic artifact that feels like it shouldn't belong to the corporate superhero apparatus. But it's really exciting to know that it does.” – Quartz Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Dunkirk (2017) 92% A- “Dunkirk ends on the burning remnants of Tom Hardy's Spitfire, an emblem of the fire of the human spirit that rages wherever injustice might try to put it out.” – Quartz Aug 27, 2018 Full Review The Disaster Artist (2017) 90% B+ “As a meta commentary on the misunderstood visionary, The Disaster Artist is a triumph. Yes, it's another of Franco's earnest forays, but this one works because it's so deeply personal.” – Quartz Aug 27, 2018 Full Review mother! (2017) 68% B- “Mother! feels like a terrible dream you had when you were younger-one you thought was about one thing but realize years later that it was actually about something else.” – Quartz Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Blade Runner 2049 (2017) 88% B+ “Directed by Arrival maestro Denis Villeneuve, Blade Runner 2049 is a film that, like all of us-human and replicant alike- actively wrestles with its own existence.” – Quartz Aug 27, 2018 Full Review The Florida Project (2017) 96% A- “Moonee is somehow relentlessly entertaining without ever, even in the slightest bit, coming across like a child mascot dreamed up solely for our amusement.” – Quartz Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Arrival (2016) 94% A- “Villeneuve and company change the game right in front of your eyes, and you don't realize it until the exact moment that you need to.” – Quartz Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Tour De Pharmacy (2017) 90% B+ “Tour de Pharmacy is exactly the type of utterly silly and self-aware comedy that seems to work well in contrast to our dour reality at present.” – Quartz Aug 27, 2018 Full Review
