Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)
90%
“This is the best-looking Mad Max movie so far and seeing it on the big screen is a must. That Miller could direct such a logistically difficult project at age 78 is quite remarkable.” –

Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
63%
“Waititi clearly put a lot of love into Thor: Ragnarok. That is missing from Thor: Love and Thunder, which feels more like slapdash product.” –

Eternals (2021)
47%
“Despite being 2 hours 37 minutes long, Eternals feels rushed, like it's trying to squeeze a ten-episode series into one feature film.” –

Ismael's Ghosts (2017)
50%
“It's Desplechin-Amalric again, and they've done just fine for 21 years. This movie makes one hope for more Desplechin-Amalric-Cotillard though.” –

After the Storm (2016)
96%
“All of these build up to being more than the sum of its parts. For anyone, being compared to Ozu is daunting, but Kore-eda needn't be ashamed, not with efforts like "After the Storm."” –

“However well crafted "Deer" is, it's a small loathsome universe from Lanthimos.” –

Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013)
88%
“There have been many films about the confusion of adolescence and the difficulty of coming out...but he makes the material fresh by understating the subtext while concentrating on the immediate experiences of the characters.” –

The Past (2013)
92%
“Any short-term illusion of being in charge is at the cost of long-term trust and fidelity. The Past stands as a resonate warning to this vicious cycle.” –

Visitors (2013)
69%
“Godfrey has said he wants Visitors to be about texture, not text, but it actually feels like the most cerebral of his films and not in a good way, but rather in an overdetermined didactic way.” –

Enter the Void (2009)

“Noe's style is near-experimental, which is often not a good thing, but even worse, the content is simplistic and monotonous.” –

Red Cliff (2008)
89%
“The drama tends to be pitched over the top %u2026 Before, Woo could pull off such extremes because he did it in an operatic fashion of gonzo emotion, but here it often comes off as inadvertently hokey.” –

“Tokyo!, in lineage with (the yes, middling) New York Stories, however actually manages the exceedingly rare accomplishment of getting all three of its episodes right.” –
