Captain America: Brave New World (2025)
48%
2/5
“Brave New World is stuffed with callbacks to movies everyone seemed to agree were misfires upon release... It leaves the film not so much a reshuffling of the deck as a journey to nowhere, like switching rooms on the Titanic.” –

Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval (2024)
33%
“For Your Approval renders DeGeneres an unimpeachable victim to an angry mob, her failings largely inconsequential, her imminent departure from the spotlight a tragedy. “Look what you’ve done,” it seems to insist.” –

Fingernails (2023)

3/5
“I’d happily watch Buckley and Ahmed read the phone book; they both possess the kind of pensive eyes and ambiguous half-smiles that serve as catnip to funny-sad auteurs. But, like Anna, you can’t help but want a bit more eventually, too.” –

Suitable Flesh (2023)

4/5
“There are flashes of HP Lovecraft, but the film is otherwise steeped in tributes to Stuart Gordon, the late king of scuzzy, made-for-VHS horror... Here, that manifests in a splurge of self-parodic fun. ” –

Close (2022)

3/5
“Dhont’s visuals are strong and sumptuous and he coaxes spellbindingly naturalistic performances from first-time actors Dambrine and De Waele, but a gulf in tone separates both halves of his film. ” –

Causeway (2022)

“Lawrence seems to have found her footing again. Her performance marks a return to the kind of textured naturalism that won her so much acclaim in the first place; it gestures not only to her past but where she is likely headed next.” –

The Bubble (2022)

2/5
“There are occasional flashes of barbed, satirical wit here. Generally, though, The Bubble resembles a flutter of loose ideas, to which a vast ensemble of reliably funny actors have been tasked with adding colour.” –

Turning Red (2022)

“Turning Red is a charming coming-of-age story with lovely pops of imagination and a refreshing lack of queasiness when it comes to its themes of puberty and adolescent sexuality.” –

3/5
“In an era in which many of Lopez’s romcom peers have pivoted to dark dramas, it’s lovely to see her still banging the drum for a genre that’s never earned the respect it’s deserved. Then again, she knows what that feels like.” –

The Souvenir Part II (2021)

5/5
“Think of it as The Godfather Part II of posh misery, a film built upon the emotional wreckage left behind from the original, yet wider in scope, smoother in execution, and with warmth where a freezer used to be.” –

The Hand of God (2021)

4/5
“Matching the dazzling maximalism of The Great Beauty, his Oscar-winning 2013 tribute to the city of Rome, the film is bawdy and wistful, with a rich vein of melancholy running through it.” –
