Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% “For all the time they spend dodging slabs of exploding buildings and saving hapless New Yorkers, the characters remain stubbornly convinced that they're not heroic, which is kind of refreshing, really.” – NPR May 2, 2025 Full Review The President's Wife (2023) 88% “It's all treated lightly and without a shred of angst, and Deneuve -- serene and bemused by the various idiocies she has to confront -- is just the icon to pull it off.” – NPR Apr 17, 2025 Full Review The Teacher (2023) 83% “Writer-director Farah Nabulsi ratchets up the tension, as well as the pain... She's given events a neatness and symmetry that seems unlikely in real life, but there's truth in the emotional trauma.” – NPR Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 97% “Coogler proves just as adept with horror tropes as he's been with music ones. At times in Sinners, he seems to be simultaneously channeling Jordan Peele and Quentin Tarantino to come up with something uniquely his own.” – NPR Apr 17, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (2025) 88% “A reimagining of the original's premise that feels fresh in an age of relaxed queer sexuality, gay marriage and understanding relatives while honoring the underlying family dynamics that made it work the first time.” – NPR Apr 17, 2025 Full Review One to One: John & Yoko (2024) 90% “The film centers its lively, if less-than-well-annotated portrait of a period of youthful rebellion on a vibrant, charismatic Lennon.” – NPR Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Warfare (2025) 93% “A nerve-wracking jolt to the system, though one that is all but devoid of political context. The film's not really like most Hollywood war movies... Warfare is just warfare, calibrated as a cinematic show-of-force.” – NPR Apr 11, 2025 Full Review The Amateur (2025) 60% “Filmmaker James Hawes keeps The Amateur clicking along competently, if not plausibly, through loose ends, loose characters and some blather from the head of the CIA about ethics. ” – NPR Apr 11, 2025 Full Review A Nice Indian Boy (2024) 97% “The film doesn't look deeply at the traditions it's variously spoofing or employing, or the psychology of its characters, but it brings plenty of color, music and Bollywood flair to getting its two lovebirds to finally sing in harmony.” – NPR Apr 3, 2025 Full Review Freaky Tales (2024) 74% “There's a lot going on in this anthology film. The directors find joy in moments that might otherwise read as brutal.” – NPR Apr 3, 2025 Full Review The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025) 98% “The comedy manages to be at once an odd-couple bromance, a showcase for Key's uproarious woolgathering, a quite respectable musical event, a meditation on grief, and an achingly nostalgic look at the harmonies we carry with us through life.” – NPR Mar 27, 2025 Full Review The Penguin Lessons (2024) 78% “The cutesiness doesn't end there, nor the broad but timid messaging, nor the main character's personal growth, all of which the filmmakers apparently regard as sufficient in a film set during a horrific period of dictatorial brutality.” – NPR Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 54% “The film would have benefitted from a tighter edit and a bigger effects budget, but its principals -- especially Jenna Ortega as the only person on screen with a conscience, and Will Poulter as her polar opposite -- are clearly having a ball.” – NPR Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Misericordia (2024) 96% “As in his award-winning Stranger by the Lake, the director's penchant for blending queerness into Hitchcockian genre conventions keeps the story both compelling and enigmatic.” – NPR Mar 22, 2025 Full Review Being Maria (2024) 60% “Palud, who previously worked with Bertolucci, does her most evocative work in the on-set sequences, with a coddled Brando (a terrific Matt Dillon) and an increasingly vulnerable Schneider. ” – NPR Mar 22, 2025 Full Review Locked (2025) 66% “Filmmaker David Yarovesky and writer Michael Arlen Ross have lots of tricks up their sleeves, including arguments about Marx and Dostoyevsky, not to mention actors who don't need to be in the same space to raise gooseflesh.” – NPR Mar 22, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 40% “The new songs mostly land without being memorable, but Rachel Zegler's spunky, assertive Snow White proves a reasonably refreshing update on 1937's animated princess.” – NPR Mar 22, 2025 Full Review Sebastian (2024) 75% “British character actor Jonathan Hyde is understated and dignified as the editor who gets past Max's defenses, while relative newcomer Ruaridh Mollica lets you see every chink in Max's armor just before a piece of that armor falls away. ” – NPR Aug 9, 2024 Full Review IF (2024) 50% “Mostly the filmmakers detour, decorate and digitize their story rather than telling it, and that doesn't mesh well with the real-world stuff.” – NPR May 20, 2024 Full Review The Fall Guy (2024) 81% “Director Leitch is like a really confident magician saying, you want to see that up close? Want to see it again? How about from this angle? - knowing that you'll always fall for the trick, always fall for the fall guys.” – NPR May 3, 2024 Full Review Nowhere Special (2020) 100% “Writer-director Uberto Pasolini lets all of this play out without grandstanding. The filmmaker doesn't embellish.” – NPR Apr 29, 2024 Full Review All of Us Strangers (2023) 96% “A haunting meditation on how we can connect.” – NPR Dec 23, 2023 Full Review Jules (2023) 86% “Director Marc Turtletaub keeps the mood light, though there's a poignant undertow to a story that's as much about being allowed to grow old with dignity as it is about an extraterrestrial.” – NPR Oct 25, 2023 Full Review Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) 93% “Along with sweeping vistas, rampant criminality and gaslit marital melodrama, the film is a gangster tale of greed, racism, lies and violence. It is, in short, American history.” – NPR Oct 20, 2023 Full Review Theater Camp (2023) 86% “"Theater Camp" kind of has my name on it.” – NPR Jul 17, 2023 Full Review
