Kinds of Kindness (2024)
71%
“Following Poor Things’ brief foray into happy endings, Kinds Of Kindness sees Lanthimos return to the kind of movie it feels perverse to say you “enjoy.” In short: The Greek freak is back.” –

Rumours (2024)

7.0/10
“Admirably high-concept, endearingly silly, but also not quite ambidextrous enough, Rumours marks a wobbly transition from the avant-garde to the mainstream for its directors” –

Bird (2024)

8.0/10
“Though Bird's flight isn’t always smooth, it’s Arnold’s total lack of contempt and her infectious compassion that encourages us past the film’s few faltering moments.” –

The Second Act (2024)
74%
4.0/10
“Lacking the whip-smarts of previous works, The Second Act only winds up feeling as self-important—and as insecure—as the very characters it caricatures.” –

Megalopolis (2024)

8.0/10
“If you meet Megalopolis with any kind of goodwill, you may see in its unabashed rejection of nihilism, defiant unorthodoxy, and complete lack of artistic insecurity exactly the kind of challenge cinema needs.” –

Mister Organ (2022)
95%
“Even if it winds up feeling like Organ is precisely the last person you should make this kind of documentary about [...] Farrier inadvertently gives us a handy PSA of sorts: if you ever meet someone who reminds you of Organ, run.” –

Jules (2023)

“Though the movie's zany forays into sci-fi territory do sometimes boggle the mind, they never undermine the genuine emotion in Jules’ raw grappling with the experience of aging.” –

The Creator (2023)
68%
“Though its lifelike effects are something to marvel at, The Creator never quite convinces us that any of its humans are real — a pretty gaping flaw for a movie that wants to sell us on the idea that robots might one day be sentient.” –

Luzzu (2021)
