Gladiator II (2024) 70% “It’s the grand journey [of Gladiator II] that makes for the most entertainment, and in that regard, you cannot fault this rousing, well-acted sequel. For all its minor faults, it’s well worth the price of admission.” – That Shelf Nov 12, 2024 Full Review Dahomey (2024) 99% “An intimate and focused contemplation on culture and the far-reaching consequences of colonialism, the 68-minute-long feature and the questions it raises will stay with you long after its credits have rolled.” – That Shelf Sep 14, 2024 Full Review Hard Truths (2024) 95% “With Hard Truths, the prolific director touches on something profound and simple, and the result is a stunning, compassionate portrait of humanity likely to be considered among his very best.” – That Shelf Sep 13, 2024 Full Review The Life of Chuck (2024) 86% “Some more jaded viewers may find the story somewhat simplistic and even trite, but the film’s sincerity and (Mike) Flanagan’s deft hand make it anything but. ” – That Shelf Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Twisters (2024) 75% “The disaster epic desperately tries to replicate the magic of the original but falls woefully short, largely due to a depressingly slight script from Mark L. Smith that gives its talented cast virtually nothing to work with.” – That Shelf Jul 21, 2024 Full Review Wicked Little Letters (2023) 80% “Though the film never entirely lives up to its full promise, it delights nonetheless and features divine performances from both its stars and the rest of the impressive Brit-pack ensemble.” – That Shelf Jun 29, 2024 Full Review The Book of Clarence (2023) 66% “[Jeymes Samuel's] originality, combined with some truly inspired casting, makes The Book of Clarence something truly worth seeing. If not everything completely works, you can’t help but give it points for effort.” – That Shelf Jan 18, 2024 Full Review The Holdovers (2023) 97% “Well-acted, lovingly directed [by Alexander Payne], and sharply written by David Hemingson, The Holdovers is a warm, nostalgic hug of a film that harks back to a specific and beloved era of filmmaking.” – AWFJ.org Sep 21, 2023 Full Review The Movie Teller (2023) 86% “At its heart, The Movie Teller is both a coming-of-age story--refreshingly acted and expertly told--and a love letter to the connective power of storytelling.” – AWFJ.org Sep 21, 2023 Full Review Seagrass (2023) 95% “Meredith Hama-Brown’s insight and instinct for storytelling, and her grasp on emotional truth and the power of silence, make Seagrass a truly impressive debut.” – That Shelf Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Lee (2023) 67% “Though there are some particularly fascinating avenues left frustratingly unexplored, Lee succeeds in its most integral mission: ensuring that [Lee] Miller will be held up alongside other greats of her time.” – That Shelf Sep 20, 2023 Full Review The Royal Hotel (2023) 89% “Australian director Kitty Green’s second narrative feature The Royal Hotel is a wholly unnerving and totally engrossing thriller. Atmospheric and all too realistic, it’s the kind of story that sticks with you long after the credits have rolled.” – AWFJ.org Sep 20, 2023 Full Review The End We Start From (2023) 89% “[Mahalia Belo's] confident and creative direction proves an excellent creative fit for this adaptation of Megan Hunter’s haunting novella, but it is Jodie Comer’s riveting central performance that proves truly unforgettable.” – That Shelf Sep 12, 2023 Full Review Iron Butterflies (2023) 88% “Liubyi’s documentary–a truly remarkable cinematic criminal investigation–is a must-see for those looking to parse events leading up to the current conflict in Eastern Europe” – That Shelf Aug 25, 2023 Full Review Match Me If You Can (2022) “With a lower budget than many of its contemporaries, the new film has a touch of the Hallmark about it and, despite some engaging supporting performances and a few charming moments, is likely to appeal only to true rom-com devotees.” – AWFJ.org Aug 20, 2023 Full Review Haunted Mansion (2023) 38% “Everyone involved seems to have thoroughly understood the assignment, providing just enough depth and substance to the narrative and to the characters to be intriguing...” – AWFJ.org Aug 20, 2023 Full Review Oppenheimer (2023) 93% “Through powerful performances, filmmakers at the top of their game, and well-timed greater ethical conversations, Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer has not only become the film to beat this year but of many years to come.” – That Shelf Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Elemental (2023) 73% “Despite all good intentions, Elemental is just not among the studio’s very best. As a family day out at the movies, though, the visuals may be just enough to make it a big-screen experience worth your time.” – That Shelf Jun 18, 2023 Full Review Bones of Crows (2022) 95% “A stirring indictment of colonialization and testament to resilience and persistence, the film is made all the more powerful by Grace Dove’s richly layered central performance.” – That Shelf Jun 3, 2023 Full Review BlackBerry (2023) 97% “BlackBerry is as witty and sharp as it is entertaining, with its two leads, Baruchel and Howerton, absolutely nailing their characters and mining each for every bit of comedy and, indeed, drama.” – AWFJ.org May 20, 2023 Full Review Emily (2022) 87% “Frances O'Connor's fictionalized portrait of author Emily Brontë provides an inspired and atmospheric showcase for a truly magnetic Emma Mackey. ” – That Shelf Feb 24, 2023 Full Review Somebody I Used To Know (2023) 70% “The film spends too much time upfront establishing its quirkiness and delving into familiar tropes to be labelled great, but stick with it, and the talented cast delivers some exciting ideas worthy of deeper exploration.” – That Shelf Feb 12, 2023 Full Review Make Me Famous (2021) 100% “Make Me Famous suggests that Brezinski might just be a one-of-a-kind. A unique artist that was a pure product of a very specific movement and moment in time. ” – That Shelf Jan 28, 2023 Full Review For Love (2021) “Though For Love leaves audiences to wrestle within themselves for an answer, the film is not without hope. ” – That Shelf Oct 15, 2022 Full Review The Lost King (2022) 77% “Not even the team behind 2014’s excellent Philomena can add anything that the original story didn’t already have. It could be that this is a story better served by documentarians that could let the history speak for itself.” – That Shelf Sep 28, 2022 Full Review
