The Amateur (2025)
61%
2.5/4
“The Amateur is a relaxed and pleasurable throwback to the spy pulp of the 1970s and ’80s, yet told with a (mostly) honest appraisal of the C.I.A.’s ethical failings.” –

2.5/4
“Juror #2 casts a morally inquiring side-eye at the American legal system, questioning whether it’s reasonable to convict anyone on the basis of something so fallible as memory.” –

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024)
100%
3/4
“There’s an alive-ness that emanates from the characters, in large part due to all those visible fingerprints and indentations on their skins—a tactile counterbalance to a story about humanity’s over-reliance on technology.” –

The Watchers (2024)
33%
“Though paced well and decently fun, all of its elements, from performance to lighting, seem pulled from a panoply of different films and ideas, making The Watchers feel unmistakably like the patchwork of a first-time filmmaker, a pastiche of pastiche.” –

Cottontail (2023)
85%
“It's tough to shake the impression that the film seems more focused on conveying a feeling than exploring or establishing the complexity of its characters. Like Akiko’s memories, the film fades rapidly, a cottontail hiding behind the bushes.” –

Jim Henson Idea Man (2024)
98%
“Regardless, it’s a nicely made commercial with elegantly edited sequences of rarely seen footage, amongst which is a segment from a never-aired, Orson Welles-hosted talk show from 1979 where Welles compares Henson to Rasputin.” –

Sleeping Dogs (2024)

“Sleeping Dogs isn’t really interested in what haunts its Alzheimer’s-ridden main character so much as it is in how his condition stands in the way of his sleuthing.” –

One Life (2023)
90%
1.5/4
“Nicholas Winton’s heroics were astonishing, but One Life does the “British Schindler” a disservice by reducing them to the stuff of facts and figures, which is galling given how readily they call out for more feeling and depth.” –
