Sinners (2025) 98% 9/10 “Sinners is a swaggering, staggering magnum opus that methodically chips away at the borders of Blackness to posit a new path while giving credit to past ones forged for survival.” – Geek Vibes Nation Apr 10, 2025 Full Review The Actor (2025) 77% 6/10 “Duke Johnson seems keenly aware of his film’s mystery, conveying it through admittedly handsome aesthetic and directorial flourishes. He also taps into interesting ideas related to that mystery, with André Holland serving as an engrossing vessel. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% 9/10 “Bong assures that, at the very least, you are never disengaged with the cavalcade of shenanigans he pumps into your eyeballs. It’s an “everything and the kitchen sink” journey that yields riotous and remarkable results.” – When Things Go Pop Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% 6/10 “As another stepping stone for whatever the MCU is leading up to with Avengers: Doomsday next year, Brave New World is a decent entry in the post-Endgame canon.” – Geek Vibes Nation Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) 82% 9/10 “At a time when Hollywood is fascinated by and ashamed of movie musicals, Kiss of the Spider Woman is a breath of fresh air. It isn’t afraid to take the piss out of the genre, but there is genuine love and appreciation for it emanating throughout the film.” – Geek Vibes Nation Feb 2, 2025 Full Review Plainclothes (2025) 79% 8.5/10 “Even though it centers on anxiety, Plainclothes is an exceptionally assured film. Carmen Emmi treats his vulnerable characters and their circumstances with the inventive care they deserve while cracking open the complexities of being closeted in the 90s.” – Geek Vibes Nation Feb 2, 2025 Full Review Opus (2025) 41% C+ “Just as it’s about to land the gut punch, it retreads to the safer territory of cheap kills and thrills. I wish the film had kept its nerve and followed its guiding insight. ” – AwardsWatch Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Twinless (2025) 95% 9.5/10 “Even in its narrow specificity and out-there execution, it speaks to our collective, universal need for connection and to be seen for who we are, even when we’re forced to hide our truest selves. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Jan 26, 2025 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% 7.5/10 “A Complete Unknown reinforces Bob Dylan as an enigma and iconoclast by staying relatively close to the surface. To Mangold’s credit, the film doesn’t feel deficient or frustrating in its lack of insight, thanks to his dedicated focus on Dylan’s impact.” – Geek Vibes Nation Dec 9, 2024 Full Review Dahomey (2024) 99% 8/10 “The histories are rich and engaging in their own right, but Diop’s respectful lens emphasizes the repatriation project’s importance to Benin.” – Geek Vibes Nation Dec 9, 2024 Full Review Better Man (2024) 88% 7.5/10 “Even with the awkward melding of tones, Better Man achieves its primary mission. The film is a cracking celebration of one of British pop music’s greatest showmen and a compelling introduction to him for unfamiliar (read: North American) audiences. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Dec 9, 2024 Full Review Unstoppable (2024) 76% 8/10 “It would be easy, to the point of cliché, for Unstoppable to weave its story exclusively around Robles’s disability. Surprisingly, it broadens its narrative scope beyond highlighting how Robles is physically different from his teammates and competition. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Dec 9, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 8/10 “What makes Gladiator II successful in its own right are the ways it differentiates itself. The humorous tone and embrace of the absurd and the fantastical, combined with the ferocious blood spattering, make for a rousing, fist-pumping cinematic spectacle.” – Geek Vibes Nation Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Maria (2024) 75% 8.5/10 “Thanks to a career-best Angelina Jolie and sumptuous images and sound, Maria Callas’s mood for adulation should feel less like a prison and more like a launchpad to a new generation of admirers of her singular gifts.” – Geek Vibes Nation Oct 9, 2024 Full Review We Live in Time (2024) 79% 9/10 “The film is a near-perfect union of actors, script, and direction that fits within the romance genre’s pillars while still finding ways to surprise and delight.” – Geek Vibes Nation Oct 9, 2024 Full Review The Apprentice (2024) 83% 4/5 “The lack of a definitive perspective on what would profoundly shift the world’s future leaves The Apprentice feeling less reflective and prescient than it means to be.” – When Things Go Pop Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Queer (2024) 77% 8/10 “Queer reinforces [Luca Guadagnino] as one of the foremost cinematic voices on desire, willing to stretch himself and his colleagues to further interrogate our relationship with it.” – Geek Vibes Nation Sep 15, 2024 Full Review The Last Showgirl (2024) 83% 7/10 “[Pamela] Anderson easily delivers her best-ever performance, leveraging her natural charisma and command of the camera to appeal Shelley to the audience. Cliched as it is, she does indeed dazzle on screen.” – Geek Vibes Nation Sep 14, 2024 Full Review Hard Truths (2024) 95% A “Her [Marianne Jean-Baptiste] performance is intricate and precise, imbuing every line reading with a burst of energy that feels tightly controlled and delightfully unexpected.” – AwardsWatch Sep 9, 2024 Full Review It Ends With Us (2024) 54% 6/10 “The film concludes by asserting that domestic violence is far more complicated than Hollywood has historically given it credit for being, and anyone can be a perpetrator or survivor. It’s a powerful statement that it doesn’t quite earn the right to make. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Aug 10, 2024 Full Review The Beast Within (2024) 40% 5.5/10 “The Beast Within yearns to be more than a small-scale monster horror flick, desiring to explore challenging, interesting ideas about identity, family, and even free will.” – Geek Vibes Nation Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Fly Me to the Moon (2024) 65% 6/10 “If romantic comedies must speak to their respective moments, Fly Me to the Moon reflects what not to do. Yet, the film is not without its charms, thanks to a dazzling Johannson and plenty of workplace hijinks.” – Geek Vibes Nation Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Priscilla (2023) 84% 8/10 “Graceland has long since been shrouded in a gauzy, almost impenetrable mythology, making it difficult to access the people who resided within it. Sofia Coppola manages to pierce through and let the darkness inside seep out.” – When Things Go Pop Jul 3, 2024 Full Review The Boy and the Heron (2023) 96% 9/10 “If Hayao Miyazaki did conceive it as his last movie, The Boy and the Heron is a stunning closer, where the director looks inward to chart the path to an imminent future without him. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) 93% 9/10 “Scorsese’s effort is outstanding across the board, from his methodical direction to his heartrendingly honest truths about the American Dream. ” – When Things Go Pop Jul 3, 2024 Full Review
