John Mulaney: Baby J (2023)
86%
“Baby J isn’t Mulaney at his zingy, a-million-jokes-per-minute, New in Town best, but it represents refreshing new ground for the comedian, who has always been more complex than his audience’s “clean-cut sweetie” read on him might have suggested.” –

Magic Mike's Last Dance (2023)
48%
“The premise is shaky, the acting is overwrought, the script is full of lines that make absolutely no sense, and yet: Magic Mike’s Last Dance is fun as hell, specifically because it’s bad.” –

Promising Young Woman (2020)
90%
“Taken on its own, Promising Young Woman -- while inconsistent at times -- offers a vision of trauma-informed art that is no less emotionally potent for its narrative pyrotechnics; it's not perfect, but it's powerful nonetheless.” –
