The Wedding Banquet (2025) 88% B+ “Between Fire Island and The Wedding Banquet, writer/director Andrew Ahn has found his particular rom-com frequency—ensemble comedies that seemed poised to explode into screwball madness but instead unfold as gently as a whisper.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Apr 18, 2025 Full Review The Life List (2025) 45% C “Much like a “Live, Laugh, Love” cross-stitch has its place in a certain type of home, The Life List has its place as a cathartic tearjerker for those who care more about life-affirming stories than quality filmmaking.” – AV Club Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 40% B- “As far as live action remakes go, “have courage, be kind, and fight fascism” is a fitting message for the moment, even if it comes wrapped in a pretty garish package.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) 97% “Narratively and thematically, Disney princess films would evolve quite a bit over the next 88 years. But tonally and visually, Snow White set a template Disney has never entirely moved away from.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Mar 15, 2025 Full Review Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2025) 88% B+ “It’s rare that romantic comedies get one sequel, let alone four. And it’s even more rare that the fourth installment is one of the best in the series.” – AV Club Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% C “Instead of feeling like the big, splashy debut of a new era for the MCU, Brave New World feels like the subpar sequel to a better movie that doesn’t actually exist.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Love Me (2024) 47% B- “The questions the film asks about human nature and romantic relationships are nothing new for the sci-fi genre (or the rom-com one). But the way it asks those questions zings with welcome touches of originality.” – AV Club Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Wicked (2024) 87% A- “[Jon M.] Chu set out to do something I thought was impossible and achieved it on a level I truly didn’t expect. And that calls for some rejoicifying.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Here (2024) 37% C+ “Here is less of an all-out disaster than a movie with a fascinating central conceit and fairly subpar execution.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Nov 1, 2024 Full Review Memoir of a Snail (2024) 95% A- “A moving, off-color story about hope in the face of suffering, Memoir of A Snail is above all a love letter to the wallflowers and homebodies among us; the people who sometimes feel more like snails curled up inside their shells than human beings.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Nov 1, 2024 Full Review On Becoming a Guinea Fowl (2024) 100% B+ “We’ve all heard (or lived through) real-life stories of families protecting their problematic men over the safety of their daughters. On Becoming a Guinea Fowl is a slow-burn battle cry for a new way forward.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Nov 1, 2024 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% B+ “Like a piece of brutalist architecture, The Brutalist may be impenetrable, but it’s certainly impactful.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Nov 1, 2024 Full Review Zurawski v Texas (2024) 100% B+ “In taking a small-scale human approach and by focusing on women with desperately wanted pregnancies, it seems designed to speak to those on the right as much as the left. Let’s hope they’re listening. ” – Girl Culture (Substack) Oct 27, 2024 Full Review Better Man (2024) 88% C+ “After lampooning music biopic clichés in its opening half, Better Man proceeds to indulge in them so earnestly in its second that the whole thing just becomes interminable.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Oct 27, 2024 Full Review September 5 (2024) 93% B “[Director Tim Fehlbaum] leaves questions about the ethics and morality of live news coverage up to the viewer to interpret, which makes the film a sort of Rorschach test in terms of how much depth you want to grant it.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Oct 27, 2024 Full Review Blitz (2024) 81% B- “Blitz is at its most powerful when it turns a lovingly nostalgic lens towards the sorts of British citizens who didn’t traditionally make it into Old Hollywood war films” – Girl Culture (Substack) Oct 27, 2024 Full Review Maria (2024) 75% B- “As a movie, Maria is just okay. As a calling card for the next phase of Jolie’s career, however, it sings to the rafters.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Nightbitch (2024) 59% C+ “The film has righteous, relevant points to make about the burden we place on mothers [but] it makes those points so bluntly and directly that it starts to feel more like an essay than a film.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Hard Truths (2024) 95% B+ “While the largely plotless structure may prove frustrating for those looking for a more conventional narrative, the small-scale emotional nuances slowly add up to a masterclass in tonal control.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Lonely Planet (2024) 40% B- “Lonely Planet isn’t steamy like The Idea Of You or zany like A Family Affair, but it has a vibes-over-plot appeal that carries over to its central romance. ” – AV Club Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) 31% C “If Folie à Deux were just a demented musical romance, it could’ve been something special in a small-scale, character-driven way. Alas, Phillips is somehow convinced that these Joker movies need to Say Something Important about the state of the world.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Oct 4, 2024 Full Review Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) 75% “While the story may barely hang together, there’s at least an overall sense that everyone involved in this movie wants to be here, which isn’t always the case for a legacy sequel.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Sep 6, 2024 Full Review It Ends With Us (2024) 54% “As a cultural statement, It Ends With Us doesn’t quite get there. As a personal exploration of what it feels like to be caught up in a cycle of violence, however, it’s a much more powerful big-screen experience. ” – Girl Culture (Substack) Aug 10, 2024 Full Review Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) 78% “Though the MCU has never served up the cinematic equivalent of fine dining, its films at least used to be hearty fast-food fare. Deadpool & Wolverine feels more like eating a bag of Sour Patch Kids and calling it dinner. ” – Girl Culture (Substack) Jul 26, 2024 Full Review It Happened One Night (1934) 98% “Really, what makes It Happened One Night special is that—unlike the rom-coms that followed in its wake—it doesn’t have to be in conversation with what it means to “be a rom-com.” ” – Girl Culture (Substack) Jul 9, 2024 Full Review
