One to One: John & Yoko (2024) 90% EDIT “It’s not hard, then, to appreciate MacDonald’s unconventional and energetic documentary as a kaleidoscopic portrait of life, love, peace, and music as seen in times of war, confusion, paranoia, and bigotry. ” – In Review Online May 3, 2025 Full Review Not Just a Goof (2025) 100% EDIT “Kimelton and Ninness’ film succeeds as a sincere tribute to a little miracle that once seemed a mere blip amongst the ‘90s monolith of high-profile Disney projects.” – In Review Online May 3, 2025 Full Review Seven Veils (2023) 77% EDIT “With Seven Veils, Egoyan has delivered a bacchanal feast for the eyes and ears, a playful and sybaritic victual for the mind to turn over for some time.” – In Review Online Apr 3, 2025 Full Review Three Friends (2024) 85% EDIT “Mouret takes care to provide a fresh, effervescent atmosphere for his characters and viewers alike.” – In Review Online Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Back in Action (2025) 29% EDIT “it’s still almost painful to watch Back in Action abruptly spoil everything that is unique, charming, and witty in its first half for the sake of second-rate spectacle and overfamiliar trope-trading.” – In Review Online Feb 4, 2025 Full Review Nutcrackers (2024) 47% EDIT “Despite failing to ever truly impress either in its comedic gags or bids at zaniness, Nutcrackers does tickle a nostalgic pleasure center when it is at its best, giving viewers a lightly entertaining bit of holiday viewing.” – In Review Online Dec 6, 2024 Full Review Our Little Secret (2024) 37% EDIT “[A] family-friendly take on mismatched relationships and emotional secrecy never rises above the tier of harmless one-time holiday viewing, the kind of film you’re happy to watch as tree lights twinkle but which you’re unlikely to return in future years.” – In Review Online Dec 2, 2024 Full Review Trapezium (2024) - - EDIT “[Full of] textural and stylistic details, Shinohara is also successful in delivering a delicate depiction of seasonal change throughout the film... vividly [revealing] Trapezium as a wistful survey of youth’s years and accordant vulnerabilities.” – In Review Online Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Subservience (2024) 49% EDIT “At its heart, Subservience’s economical yet well-executed production (with a few sequences of spectacular VFX) and bold eclectic approach... pleasantly recalls the entertaining and adrenaline-filled simplicities of campy ’80s and ’90s D온라인카지노추천 B-movies.” – In Review Online Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Taxi Monamour (2024) - - EDIT “Taxi Monamour unfortunately mostly lands as a forgettable effort that fails on various levels.” – In Review Online Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Place of Bones (2023) 77% EDIT “...an amusingly kitschy B-movie that emphasizes its core as a lighthearted romp and deliberately unburdens itself of any unnecessary or heavy-handed messaging.” – In Review Online Aug 27, 2024 Full Review Not Not Jazz (2024) - - EDIT “Miller's film is more about the “deepening” of what already exists rather than seeking out new modes.” – In Review Online Aug 8, 2024 Full Review A Family Affair (2024) 35% EDIT “A Family Affair is precisely the kind of breezy weeknight watch that viewers may yet enjoy for what it is with a glass of rosé or a crisp white in hand. Those not inclined to such trifles might need three.” – In Review Online Jul 1, 2024 Full Review Latency (2024) 29% EDIT “Latency, if not entirely original in style or flawless in its crowd-pleasing, is an imaginative, trippy, and modest indie that resists aesthetic overindulgence or perplexing rhetorical angles.” – In Review Online Jun 17, 2024 Full Review Nuked (2023) - - EDIT “Nuked thus remains tonally unfocused and narratively shallow, to the point that it seems likely Gill’s podcast would present more insight, humor, and unconventional content about middle-aged married life than the actual film does.” – In Review Online Jun 15, 2024 Full Review Mayhem Girls (2022) - - EDIT “It’s hard to deny the easy appeal of Mayhem Girls’ playful spirit, but it’s all spread too thin across the film’s 98 minutes. The final product ultimately feels like an overextended short” – In Review Online Apr 14, 2024 Full Review Auction (2024) - - EDIT “Auction isn’t only a portrait of the day-to-day act of forging a convincing “character” or life for [oneself], but also a self-reflective, genuine study about the attempts of the artist to forge fiction into the shape of a more authentic reality.” – In Review Online Apr 14, 2024 Full Review The Greatest Hits (2024) 49% EDIT “The Greatest Hits is clearly an also-ran ditty, but it should also be easily recognizable to viewers that its heart is at least in the right place, despite the considerable hiccups part and parcel to its good intentions.” – In Review Online Apr 10, 2024 Full Review Irish Wish (2024) 42% EDIT “No threat to becoming a rom-com classic by any stretch of imagination. But what it does do is keep the early days of the Lohanaissance alive, and reminds viewers how her incomparable charm offers promise for better days and projects to come.” – In Review Online Mar 20, 2024 Full Review Lola (2024) - - EDIT “There’s nothing really surprising or new to be found in Lola’s poorly scripted and stereotypically melodramatic story, which is mostly realized as typical arrangements of manufactured intensity and overt sentiment-baiting.” – In Review Online Feb 13, 2024 Full Review The Naughty Nine (2023) 67% EDIT “The Naughty Nine’s brand of whimsicality actually situates it more comfortably as a family-friendly watch than a pure Christmas movie, lacking as it is in the particular atmosphere viewers often flock to holiday films for.” – In Review Online Dec 25, 2023 Full Review Christmas by Design (2023) - - EDIT “If [the film] manages to be among more convincing flicks this year, it’s not only for the easy chemistry between Dalton and Keltz... its cheerful ambiance, or visual vibrancy, but the relatable and homey warmth that can be felt in the local hangout.” – In Review Online Dec 25, 2023 Full Review Best. Christmas. Ever! (2023) 40% EDIT “It's still early in the season, but all viewers should want for Christmas is that Best. Christmas. Ever! won’t be the best holiday title on offer.” – In Review Online Nov 20, 2023 Full Review The Other Zoey (2023) 86% EDIT “Simplistically plain narrative, conventionally ripped-off ideas, and rather hasty pacing are nothing new... what stands out... is the way [Zandieh] manages to consciously filter many of these nods and clichés through her undeniable love... for the genre.” – In Review Online Oct 19, 2023 Full Review Close Your Eyes (2023) 93% EDIT “The director allows us to keep our faith in the beauty, mystery, and magic of films as a constant act of remembrance in the face of oblivion.” – In Review Online Oct 5, 2023 Full Review
