Dune: Part Two (2024) 92% “I can only take so much messiah talk in science fiction, especially when it’s coming from Javier Bardem and Timothée Chalamet, both of whom I generally like, but here all I could think about was that they’d played Desi Arnaz and Bob Dylan.” – n+1 Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% “In the second section... we lose the Ani we’d come to know.” – n+1 Mar 4, 2025 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% “Chalamet’s performance is a success, a real feat of acting in which he thoroughly inhabits Dylan-ness without slipping into parody” – n+1 Mar 4, 2025 Full Review A Real Pain (2024) 96% “These nice boys in their nice movie made me miss Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, and Wallace Shawn and Andre Gregory, in their talky two-handers.” – n+1 Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Flow (2024) 97% “If animated cats, dogs, and lemurs are your thing, Flow is the movie for you. Thankfully these animals don’t talk and it isn’t a musical. ” – n+1 Mar 4, 2025 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% “The Brutalist is a deeply confused film that touches greatness by mixing disparate elements that have no business being together.” – n+1 Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Nickel Boys (2024) 91% “That Ross and Fray have managed to make it work and have created a film unlike any other proves it was a risk worth taking.” – n+1 Mar 4, 2025 Full Review No Other Land (2024) 100% “The more of this documentation, the better.” – n+1 Mar 4, 2025 Full Review September 5 (2024) 93% “In the end, September 5 is a tribute to Nielsen ratings. ” – n+1 Mar 4, 2025 Full Review The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024) 97% “The shock ending and cut to news footage of the Amini protests is a Kiarostamian move that brings the film back into the reality, but its indictment of Iranian patriarchy and repression was already clear.” – n+1 Mar 4, 2025 Full Review I'm Still Here (2024) 97% “Fernanda Torres’s performance as Eunice is one of great tribute.” – n+1 Mar 4, 2025 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% “The film is too long for its one concept.” – n+1 Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Emilia Pérez (2024) 72% “The film is a preposterous nightmare of first-world self-regard.” – n+1 Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Wicked (2024) 87% “John M. Chu has directed it so dutifully that no musical number can become a showstopper, which doesn’t really matter because the film’s audience already knows the songs by heart.” – n+1 Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Sing Sing (2023) 97% “In Sing Sing, the other guy is better, a more dynamic and volatile screen presence.” – n+1 Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Conclave (2024) 93% “This one is highly burnished and tightly wound, seemingly made by Fiennes and not the director. ” – n+1 Mar 4, 2025 Full Review The Apprentice (2024) 83% “In creating sympathetic portraits of Trump and Cohn, The Apprentice can only become, by the end, a Hollywood biopic, with the oppressive blandness of the genre touched up as usual with movie-filtered period detail.” – The New York Review of Books Jan 15, 2025 Full Review Everything Else (2016) “Willful boredom smothers Natalia Almada's Everything Else.” – n+1 Sep 30, 2024 Full Review Kill, Baby... Kill! (1966) 100% “It's utterly convincing, a reminder that cinema had all the tools it needed before computers.” – n+1 Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Civil War (2024) 81% “This easy digital fakeness is there to get the audience used to it...” – The Forum Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Unfrosted (2024) 40% “Most of the jokes are as flat as turkey slices and the whole thing presupposes how predictable it will be.” – Fast Company Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Reagan (2024) 18% “Reagan harps on the phrase “clarity is power,” and it is clarity as a visual storytelling value more than patriotism or reason that makes this film into the most effective kind of propaganda.” – n+1 Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Green Border (2023) 93% “Instead of Green Border remaining a hard-edged film in which the depredations of an unfair, destructive system are exposed, it becomes something that makes viewers feel a little bit better about the agony she brought to life in the first half...” – n+1 Sep 16, 2024 Full Review The Becomers (2023) 94% “Its ensemble is excellent, especially Isabel Alamin and Molly Plunk as the first two alien-ated women. ” – n+1 Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Trap (2024) 57% “Trap is ingenious as a genre film, but it doesn’t go much farther than that. It comes off as more of an exercise than one of the director’s metaphysical outings.” – n+1 Sep 16, 2024 Full Review
