B
“The violence is so gleefully over the top that the film feels like a live-action Looney Tunes, but with Josh Hartnett swinging a chainsaw around a packed airplane. ” –

The Friend (2024)

B
“Watching Watts and Apollo slowly grow to trust each other is genuinely moving, and even though the film feels a bit stiff and writerly in moments, The Friend is cozy comfort cinema, achieving nothing more or nothing less. ” –

Thunderbolts* (2025)
88%
B+
“While the film still suffers from the recent MCU problem of a wonky first act and an over-reliance on quippy banter, it ends up being such a heartfelt examination of what makes us human that it’s hard to pick too many nits.” –

Sinners (2025)

“While the cast is uniformly great, the show is stolen by the timeless, grimy blues score by Ludwig Göransson and the lush, yet understated cinematography by Autumn Durald Arkapaw. ” –

Warfare (2025)

B+
“It’s a heartbreaking statement of purpose to create something so ugly and authentic, and the film exists as another of Garland’s black mirrors, reflecting one or two of our greatest traits as humans through the prism of our worst impulses.” –

The Assessment (2024)

“From the score to the performances to the cinematography, script, and direction, The Assessment is a singular work I won’t soon forget and Fortuné crafts some imagery here unlike anything that has come before in cinema.” –

On Becoming a Guinea Fowl (2024)

A-
“This is cinema as protest, sending its well-aimed rage at misogyny, late-stage capitalism, the colonizer’s destructive influence on Africa, and so many more topical topics that seem impossible for a 90-minute dark dramedy to cover.” –
