Dead Mail (2024) 93% “An effective, twisty thriller with a singular edge of off-kilter black comedy.” – Variety Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Psycho Therapy: The Shallow Tale of a Writer Who Decided to Write About a Serial Killer (2024) 81% “A droll black comedy that's a little on the pokey side; it has some good ideas, but could have executed them with more energy. Still, it's diverting to see Buscemi playing the senior role in a kind of offbeat indie buddy flick he's done before.” – 48 Hills Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Autobiography (2022) 92% “This beautifully shot widescreen drama is quiet, unhurried yet taut, drawing maximum impact from a relatively simple story and minimal dialogue.” – 48 Hills Apr 18, 2025 Full Review The Accidental Getaway Driver (2023) 83% “There is some poignance in that quasi-paternal relationship, which fills a need both their hard-luck lives previously denied them. But this gracefully made film’s rewards don’t fully compensate for its slow pacing and under-plotted script.” – 48 Hills Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Zero (2024) 50% “This is the sort of exercise in snarky machismo and ADD-accommodating stylistic overkill you’d normally expect to find Jason Statham bouncing around in. It’s well-crafted for what it is, but the video-game-like result feels self-congratulatory and hollow.” – 48 Hills Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Grand Tour (2024) 91% “While I didn’t wholly grok Grand Tour, there is no question that it’s exactly the kind of singular artistic leap you have to be grateful somebody, anybody is still taking these days.” – 48 Hills Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Freaky Tales (2024) 74% “Its forced joie de vivre doesn’t recycle genre cliches with the wit or style required. There are a lot of big swings that are welcome in theory but just aren’t particularly well executed. ” – 48 Hills Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Misericordia (2024) 95% “This twisty, ironical narrative didn’t impress me as much as it has some others, the characters’ irrational, under-motivated behavior making them somewhat less than engaging. But Misericordia is still offbeat and eventful enough to be worth a look.” – 48 Hills Apr 18, 2025 Full Review A Nice Indian Boy (2024) 96% “This is slick, well-cast, lively, and touching at times -- but also incredibly formulaic.” – 48 Hills Apr 17, 2025 Full Review The Friend (2024) 83% “t’s not a spectacular breakout but rather an intelligently meticulous mix of low-key, detailed, character-based storytelling, and perfect casting. ” – 48 Hills Apr 17, 2025 Full Review The President's Wife (2023) 87% “his too-mild depiction of spiky real-world personalities needed an actress capable of making bottled-up resentment furiously palpable -- and funny. Instead, it has Deneuve gliding through like a chic parade float, dignified but imperturbable. ” – 48 Hills Apr 17, 2025 Full Review One to One: John & Yoko (2024) 89% “Though occasionally it seems over-digressive, One to One does vividly capture a moment when musicians were very much part of the dialogue in another period of extreme national political division.” – 48 Hills Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Pink Floyd at Pompeii (1972) “In part because of its conceptual nature, "Pompeii" remains an almost perfect miniature, at once a time capsule and something out of time entirely. ” – 48 Hills Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Neil Young: Coastal (2025) 79% “Young’s stature has archived their career quite so thoroughly in audiovisual terms, with results that are sometimes good-to-terrific, sometimes just, well, “for fans only,” to put it politely. Coastal falls into that latter camp. ” – 48 Hills Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Gunslingers (2025) 5% “Gunslingers is not the finest hour for any actor involved, though they run the gamut from competency to simply being too modern in look and manner to convince in a period setting that already feels like some sort of western cosplay weekend.” – Variety Apr 11, 2025 Full Review The Encampments (2025) 94% “Featuring some hard-to-watch footage of what is actually happening in that distant locale, The Encampments makes for infuriating viewing -- even though there’s a flicker of triumph.” – 48 Hills Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Becoming Led Zeppelin (2025) 83% “I’ll admit they were never a personal favorite, but Bernard MacMahon’s film makes a pretty great case for them, drawing on a wealth of archival performance footage. Even among numerous fine rock docs in recent years, this ranks near the top.” – 48 Hills Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Tarpon (1973) “It’s just a 54-minute wisp of a movie… but one that may induce a desire to climb into the nearest time machine and never come back.” – 48 Hills Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Thank You Very Much (2023) 90% “A persuasive appreciation of Andy Kaufman, a comedian considerably ahead of his brief time.” – 48 Hills Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Bring Them Down (2024) 90% “Well-shot and acted, Bring Them Down holds interest. But the kind of modern-day Jacobean tragedy it aims for is ultimately beyond the grasp of a scenario lacking that grandeur.” – 48 Hills Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Bob Trevino Likes It (2024) 95% “The painfully needy main characters are almost too good to be true -- their fine qualities ignored at large, so lonely they hang onto the slightest social-media bump for dear life. Still, their performances and restrained approach are duly moving.” – 48 Hills Mar 27, 2025 Full Review On Becoming a Guinea Fowl (2024) 100% “Though largely a black comedy with notes of absurdism, "Guinea Fowl" simmers like a pot about to boil over.” – 48 Hills Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Black Heat (2024) “The film could have used some additional polish in terms of both script and style. Still, it’s got enough propulsive energy to keep viewers entertained. ” – Variety Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Young Hearts (2024) 100% “This pleasant, nicely crafted junior romance provides an encouraging vision of coming out as a flightpath in which the only resistance you encounter might be that you’re generating yourself. ” – 48 Hills Mar 22, 2025 Full Review Magazine Dreams (2023) 80% “It has a certain raw conviction, not least from Majors himself... But unsettlingly vivid as his character Killian Maddox is, he also remains an unsympathetic cipher that the film seems more willing to exploit than explore. ” – 48 Hills Mar 22, 2025 Full Review
