Emilia Pérez (2024)
72%
“Rather than enhancing the film’s narrative, the music functions as a loud and gimmicky distraction from storytelling that can’t be bothered to do even the most basic work of connecting its audience to its setting and characters.” –

Rebel Ridge (2024)
95%
“Rebel Ridge is that rarest of things, an auteurist action thriller with brains and heart and guts, an electrifying and crowd-pleasing work of cinema, pulp art of the highest level.” –

Elvis (2022)
77%
“The most anachronistic element of Elvis is its cloying need to assure us that its hero was a good person, as if trying to preemptively counter some imagined onslaught of TikToks about why Elvis Presley is problematic. ” –

Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell (2021)
78%
“I Got a Story to Tell features a lot of men-as is so often the case with these kinds of movies, it's mostly men-emphatically asserting the supremacy of Biggie's music without actually saying all that much about it.” –

Beastie Boys Story (2020)
95%
“In typical Jonze fashion, the film is loose and anarchic yet deceptively well-controlled, its fourth wall always in varying states of permeability.” –

Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and The Band (2019)
84%
“With its tone of score-settling, Once Were Brothers inadvertently ends up selling the Band, and even Robertson himself, short.” –

Quincy (2018)
82%
“It's an enjoyable and intermittently revelatory documentary that does a fine job of celebrating its subject's accomplishments while never quite achieving the degree of intimacy that it strives for.” –

Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World (2017)
91%
“It feels like something much bigger than the film itself comes entirely together: four men on a stage, being musicians, being Indians, being Americans, playing rock 'n' roll.” –

Elvis Presley: The Searcher (2018)
96%
“The Searcher may be a bit of a whitewash in a number of respects, but that shouldn't negate the film's accomplishments, to say nothing of those of its subject.” –

Draft Day (2014)
60%
“Draft Day is one of the dumbest movies about sports ever made because it's one of the dumbest ideas for a movie about sports that anyone has ever had, a fictional film about pro football that isn't even actually about football.” –
