SLY LIVES! (aka The Burden of Black Genius) (2025) 92% “While the various artists help assemble a humanistic picture of the great yet tragically flawed musician, they also bring to mind their own struggles to fit inside that impossible space: entertaining but socially conscious, Black but not too Black.” – HuffPost Feb 13, 2025 Full Review The Six Triple Eight (2024) 55% “I also just find it… interesting that a movie that is supposed to center the Black and brown women of this battalion was usurped by the love story of a dead white guy.” – HuffPost Dec 24, 2024 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% ““A Complete Unknown” never feels like much of a movie and certainly not a biopic. Rather, it comes across as subpar, reality-adjacent fan fiction.” – HuffPost Dec 24, 2024 Full Review The Piano Lesson (2024) 88% “But so much of the film is like inside baseball for people who already have seen this story in its many other forms. Neither the performances nor August Wilson are done justice here.” – HuffPost Dec 2, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% “There’s an interesting throughline between the two films that, while they both have different identities that favor a progression in time, make sense together in a franchise.” – HuffPost Dec 2, 2024 Full Review The Honorable Shyne (2024) “While the film does a thoughtful job examining Barrow’s journey in Belizean politics... and how honored both his family and peers he’s managed to maintain in the hip-hop game are, it creates an intriguingly dichotomous portrait.” – HuffPost Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Piece By Piece (2024) 83% “[Piece by Piece] presents a hagiographical portrait of a largely beloved figure and doesn’t question any of it, letting the subject run with his own story to the film’s detriment — regardless of how much of it is actually true.” – HuffPost Oct 11, 2024 Full Review The Apprentice (2024) 83% ““The Apprentice” is a fascinating portrait of the kind of deeply entitled white man born into a powerful and rich family... whose encounter with a similarly powerful figure (Cohn) at a seedy bar one night shapes him into an even more volatile person.” – HuffPost Oct 11, 2024 Full Review MaXXXine (2024) 72% “West grounds the film with the still relevant, precarious nature of (albeit mostly white) female mortality — particularly sexualized female mortality — in a landscape that idolizes and destroys it in equal measure.” – HuffPost Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Black Barbie (2023) 96% “Thankfully, it doesn’t drift away from actual conversations in the classroom and the real world, making the last half hour of “Black Barbie” the most fulfilling part.” – HuffPost Jun 20, 2024 Full Review Brats (2024) 85% “... It would have behooved the director, amid his own seemingly self-obsessed rant about a nearly 40-year-old moniker, to also think about the advantages he was also granted with it that eluded many others.” – HuffPost Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) 80% ““Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” is thoughtful and horrifyingly accurate about how many young, independent white women move through a world they think has done them wrong somehow.” – HuffPost May 10, 2024 Full Review Challengers (2024) 88% “I think Zendaya does the best she can with all of this, but I think the movie ultimately fails her — and is just not interested in what she can do.” – HuffPost Apr 26, 2024 Full Review Civil War (2024) 81% “All it actually does is kick up a lot of dust around controversial topics without actually examining or even adequately portraying any of them.” – HuffPost Apr 12, 2024 Full Review Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (2024) 54% “There’s just not enough about this new “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead” to justify its existence.” – HuffPost Apr 12, 2024 Full Review Monkey Man (2024) 89% “Even with its flaws, “Monkey Man” stands alone as a testament to what an actor can do once he takes his career into his own hands.” – HuffPost Apr 5, 2024 Full Review Shirley (2024) 74% ““Shirley” had all the potential to be something better. But it isn’t.” – HuffPost Mar 22, 2024 Full Review Origin (2023) 81% “The contents of the book themselves deserve a much closer, more complicated study. Perhaps a documentary where these ideas could really breathe would have been more effective.” – HuffPost Dec 12, 2023 Full Review Poor Things (2023) 93% “Lanthimos delivers a gorgeously cinematic excursion of womanhood — albeit a white woman of substantial means and ability — propelled by a hunger for new life experiences, personal failures, tragedies and triumphs.” – HuffPost Dec 8, 2023 Full Review Saltburn (2023) 71% “Fennell gives us such great dialogue in “Saltburn,” but not an inspired story. Though that’s certainly fun to watch, particularly among a large theatrical audience that’s game for it, it leaves a lot to be desired.” – HuffPost Nov 20, 2023 Full Review May December (2023) 91% “We’re left with plaguing questions that challenge what we hold dear: our entertainment, our source of empowerment, our safety.” – HuffPost Nov 18, 2023 Full Review Thanksgiving (2023) 84% “It checks off a lot of boxes that have been missing from too many genre entries today. Shock value? Check. Gore? Big time.” – HuffPost Nov 18, 2023 Full Review The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023) 64% “It fails to validate its existence beyond the Hollywood routine of squeezing every dollar out of a successful franchise. It doesn’t really add anything to the overall narrative. It’s just… more story. And for no reason at all.” – HuffPost Nov 18, 2023 Full Review What Happens Later (2023) 51% “What’s missing in “What Happens Later” is outright startling: whimsy. Or maybe it’s heart — or both? Basically, there’s something vacant behind the metaphoric eyes of the film, because there’s nothing going on beneath the surface.” – HuffPost Nov 3, 2023 Full Review The Creator (2023) 68% ““The Creator” asks the audience to care excessively about AI and dismiss the justifiable concerns of its human characters — even as our real-life battle against the technology rages on. Why should we?” – HuffPost Sep 29, 2023 Full Review
