Dune: Part Two (2024)
92%
“Dune: Part Two is an undeniable triumph -- a kinetic, beautifully shot exercise in wish-fulfillment whose denouement is so brutal it makes Taken seem like a model of nonviolent conflict resolution.” –

Dumb Money (2023)
84%
“Hamstrung by a desire to valorize the little guy, the movie misses the point: The GameStop short squeeze was about how collective action can shift the balance of power from the few to the many.” –

Paint (2023)
31%
“If there were more jokes, Paint’s many unexamined issues might be overlooked. As it stands, the final product is desperately in need of some serious touch-ups.” –

Bros (2022)
89%
“A movie that endeavors to capture the vagaries and absurdities of contemporary gay life...often hilarious, uneven, and more conventional than it lets on...” –

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
71%
“I can confidently say the Snyder cut is, on the whole, much better. Whether that reflects his storytelling abilities or that he had twice as much time to tell that story remains an open question.” –

“Me You Madness is irrevocably tied to its writer-director-star's milieu.” –

Sin (2019)
94%
“It is, in other words, an accurate depiction of what it takes to be a successful artist, and it's one that contemporary viewers -- inside the art world and out -- might be well served to watch carefully.” –

Greed (2019)
50%
“It's never clear if Greed, the story of the rise and fall of an English fast-fashion billionaire, is intended as satire or moral parable.” –

The Kingmaker (2019)
97%
“It starts out as a sort of "lives of the rich and famous"-style drama and slowly becomes a tutorial in what Greenfield strongly suggests is a multi decade campaign of unseemly and allegedly illegal activity carried out by the Marcos clan.” –

Velvet Buzzsaw (2019)
61%
“It's not only logistical quirks that make the world of Velvet Buzzsaw so optimistic; it's also the movie's notion that art-making is inherently meaningful.” –

Generation Wealth (2018)
46%
“Greenfield's takeaway -- money doesn't buy happiness, family is important, status is illusory -- feels too pat. It also ignores a larger point: The people here who claim not to want money are the people who've had it and lost it.” –

Hal (2018)
90%
“Hal is as much an elegy to auteurism as it is the story of a filmmaker's life.” –
