Colossal (2016)
82%
“Colossal operates largely as a deconstruction of a certain kind of romcom trope, but it's also a pretty legit kaiju movie.” –

Dearest Sister: Nong Hak (2016)

“A slow burn that ends on a great twisted horror note, Dearest Sister is a fantastic drama and character piece that is also inextricably a phenomenal and creepy ghost story.” –

Tikkun (2015)
95%
“One of the most strikingly weird movies I have seen this year. The movie's examination of the life of the ultra-Orthodox Jews is fascinating and Sivan's actors - who simply can't really be Orthodox, can they? - are utterly convincing in all moments.” –

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

“To say that Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice is a bad movie doesn't go far enough. This film feels like Zack Snyder hobbling the entire upcoming DC Movieverse before it gets started.” –
