Biography:

I am a longtime journalist based in Atlanta and have been writing film criticism since 1994, full-time for decades at the Atlanta alternative weekly Creative Loafing and now at the online arts magazine Burnaway.org and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. I hold an undergraduate and graduate degree in film from, respectively, the University of Florida and Emory University, where my master's thesis became a book: Forbidden Fruit: The Golden Age of the Exploitation Film. My film writing has also been published in Film Quarterly, Cineaste and Charleston City Paper. I am the co-founder of the Atlanta Film Critics Circle.

Downton Abbey: A New Era (2022) 86% “Another feel-good warm bath of niceness set amidst the Brits, A New Era feels like a period answer to Ted Lasso, a similarly sweet confection in which simple goodness always prevails and everyone is relatively well-behaved.” – Riverfront Times May 19, 2022 Full Review Petite Maman (2021) 97% “This is not a children’s movie but one, instead, that records in exacting detail the unique perception, imagination and even the slower, more prolonged sense of time that defines how children experience the world.” – Riverfront Times May 12, 2022 Full Review No Exit (2022) 62% “No Exit’s script ladles on the usual plot twists and body horror, introducing new, grisly ways to assault flesh and bone. But the tension is lukewarm.” – Riverfront Times Apr 26, 2022 Full Review The Outfit (2022) 86% “It's largely Rylance who carries the plot on charisma and an onion-peel performance that reveals its layers as The Outfit unfolds.” – Riverfront Times Apr 26, 2022 Full Review Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) 94% “Real life adulting is the ultimate foe to be vanquished in this deliriously haywire fantasy, a cinematic tab of acid buried in a metaphysical fable.” – Riverfront Times Apr 26, 2022 Full Review Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020) 99% “Director Eliza Hittman's devastating Never Rarely Sometimes Always is a coming-of-age with a difference.” – Culturopolis Jul 23, 2021 Full Review American Psycho (2000) 68% “Graced with a smart, pathos-laden meditation on male competition and the blood-drawing ferocity of a money-centered culture, along with screenwriter Guinevere Turner, Harron does a transformative voodoo on an often repugnant source.” – Creative Loafing Feb 4, 2020 Full Review Punch-Drunk Love (2002) 79% “[T]here's very little to hold onto in this lackluster, uninspiring film with the disappointing inertness of a deflated balloon.” – Creative Loafing Feb 4, 2020 Full Review Raising Victor Vargas (2002) 96% “Few films capture how hostile and enormous the world can be for children and the defenses they create to cope, but this easygoing, lovely film does, to great, tender effect.” – Creative Loafing Feb 4, 2020 Full Review The Ten (2007) 35% “More than simply unentertaining, The Ten comes from an America of silly, laddish self-regard and hollow protest.” – Creative Loafing Feb 4, 2020 Full Review Lady Chatterley (2006) 77% “Pascale Ferran's Lady Chatterley is as exquisite and memorable for the way it burrows beneath its characters' skin, into the discrete and lonely worlds they occupy.” – Creative Loafing Feb 4, 2020 Full Review Masked and Anonymous (2003) 26% “Bloated by self-regard, Masked and Anonymous is the essence of the self-aggrandizing benefit concerts it weakly parodies.” – Creative Loafing Feb 4, 2020 Full Review Spider (2002) 84% “Cronenberg's thoroughly creepy and hypnotic film often has the texture of damp wool, his evocation of claustrophobic brooding so intense you can nearly smell the mildew.” – Creative Loafing Feb 4, 2020 Full Review Talk to Her (2002) 91% “Unfortunately, the Spanish enfant terrible's iconoclastic artistic hysteria never rises to the surface in Talk to Her.” – Creative Loafing Feb 4, 2020 Full Review Auto Focus (2002) 71% “For all its tantalizing forays into the narcotic, head-swimming loss of self and perspective in addiction, Auto Focus never quite extends its sympathy to its characters or convinces us that they are real people.” – Creative Loafing Feb 4, 2020 Full Review The Quiet American (2002) 87% “The Quiet American is an accurate if not entirely soul-quaking adaptation of Greene's style to film. It establishes such a believable atmosphere of quiet, old-fashioned gentility that when a moment of violence occurs, the carnage is even more devastating.” – Creative Loafing Feb 4, 2020 Full Review Frida (2002) 76% “The strangest of birds - a film about a Communist, bisexual, hirsute, maverick artist aimed squarely at a mainstream audience - Frida may, in fact, turn out to be more radical than it first appears.” – Creative Loafing Feb 4, 2020 Full Review Wordplay (2006) 94% “Diverting though Wordplay may be, when it moves into tournament-mode, the film suffers from the essentially undramatic nature of this solitary "sport."” – Creative Loafing Feb 4, 2020 Full Review The Twilight Samurai (2002) 99% “Twilight Samurai contains a powerful pacifist message about a hero free from the supposedly innate male taste for violence.” – Creative Loafing Feb 4, 2020 Full Review Murderball (2005) 98% “Murderball tends to buck the feel-good vibe and good guy-bad guy arc of that genre... Instead, the film depicts a more profound and lifelong battle waged between these men and the circumstance they find themselves in.” – Creative Loafing Feb 3, 2020 Full Review Everything Is Illuminated (2005) 65% “Rather than aiming to please, the film expects a certain patience on the viewer's part as it ambles and slowly shifts from an often forced quirkiness to a bone-deep melancholy. That change of tack proves worth waiting for.” – Creative Loafing Feb 3, 2020 Full Review One Hour Photo (2002) 82% “While honoring the suspense-building engine of a thriller, One Hour Photo creates a nightmare portrait of American life.” – Creative Loafing Feb 3, 2020 Full Review Birth (2004) 41% “Glazer leaves narrative threads dangling and a purposeful ambiguousness that seems less a desire to subvert Hollywood closure as a fey, fancified gesture of presumed depth on the film's part.” – Creative Loafing Feb 3, 2020 Full Review Art School Confidential (2006) 36% “Art School Confidential is as visually uninteresting as it is idea-parched.” – Creative Loafing Feb 3, 2020 Full Review Kandahar (2001) 89% “Less interesting as a Westerner's primer on Afghanistan's horrors, the film becomes truly transfixing when it assumes the languid, neorealist style of the Iranian cinema.” – Creative Loafing Feb 3, 2020 Full Review
