Martha (2024)
89%
“You don’t necessarily want to be her, but there’s something so compelling about watching her twist herself around to become this impossible-to-please empress of all she beholds.” –

“The Apprentice shows you Trump as a performance, a little unreal, a little eerie, without ever feeling as though it’s losing points to Trump the man.” –

American Fiction (2023)
93%
“Debut director Cord Jefferson handles the satire of this premise with a feather-light touch. In Jefferson’s hands, it’s clear that Monk has a point when he rails about the blind spots of the publishing industry. ” –

Leave the World Behind (2023)
74%
“Esmail’s characters are blinded by a different kind of bourgeois comfort food, one that only comes into focus in the film’s final, biting, and deeply satisfying sequence.” –

Pamela, a Love Story (2023)
96%
“It suggests, brutally, that shows like Pam and Tommy exist more to let us indulge our titillated fascination with old scandals than to make any kind of principled stand against misogyny.” –

“Paige's steeliness gives this movie its heart, and the deadpan terseness of her narration gives it its loopy verve.” –

To All the Boys: Always and Forever (2021)
79%
3/5
“Centineo and Condor remain the best part of Always and Forever, as they were the best part of P.S. I Still Love You... But like P.S. I Still Love You, Always and Forever fails to find strong, specific details in which to ground this love story.” –

To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You (2020)

3/5

The King (2019)
71%
2.5/5
“[The King] is filled with macho posturing about war and kingship and the nature of power and how really, it's extremely virtuous to be extremely boring, and there is hardly any sense of humor to be found onscreen at all.” –

The Perfect Date (2019)
67%
3/5
“It's a perfectly middle-of-the-road teen flick, and it is notable mostly because it gives [Noah] Centineo plenty of opportunities to do what he does best: gaze longingly at girls.” –

The Holiday Calendar (2018)
33%
2/5
“It's a more restrained, grounded movie than its predecessor - which, ultimately, means it loses some of the candy-coated glee that made A Christmas Prince such a buzzed-about so-bad-it's-good hit.” –

To All the Boys I've Loved Before (2018)

4/5
“It's a stylish pastel-tinted confection of a movie, one that knows every single one of the romantic tropes it's working with backwards and forwards, and loves them with all its pure and wholesome heart.” –

“Superstar glittered its way through the last days of Christ - on Easter Sunday, no less - with enormous energy and verve, and managed to stick the landing with an unforgettable final image.” –

“It's not that Tulip Fever is incompetently made or unpleasant to look at or offensive in any way. It's just that it is very, very boring.” –
