The Shrouds (2024) 74% 3/4 “At its best, [The Shrouds] throbs with raw, human, horrific honesty.” – Washington Post Apr 25, 2025 Full Review The Amateur (2025) 60% 2.5/4 ““The Amateur” falls victim to its own leaky plotting, which suggests more complex twists than it actually has up its sleeves.” – Washington Post Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% 1.5/4 “Novocaine lives up to its name, all right — a tedious action-comedy so numbingly bland, you feel the pain of its 110-minute run time even as its protagonist can’t feel a thing.” – Washington Post Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2025) 88% 3.5/4 “An age-gap romance is the least ridiculous situation [Bridget Jones] has found herself in, and [Renee] Zellweger and [Leo] Woodall create natural, sweet sparks.” – Washington Post Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Heart Eyes (2025) 81% 3/4 “Directing this lively date night slash-’em-up... [Josh] Ruben wields the conventions of rom-coms and retro slashers like weapons, spilling blood and guts galore while also setting the mood for love.” – Washington Post Feb 5, 2025 Full Review The Last Showgirl (2024) 83% 3/4 “Although the slightness of the film’s vignette-heavy narrative is frustrating, its ambiguous ending and lack of easy resolutions, at least, feel honest.” – Washington Post Jan 13, 2025 Full Review The Order (2024) 92% 3/4 “Director Justin Kurzel delivers another warning in the form of a timely American crime story.” – Washington Post Dec 6, 2024 Full Review Nightbitch (2024) 59% 2/4 “If anyone can hold the center of a messy, imperfect character study, it’s Amy Adams.” – Washington Post Dec 6, 2024 Full Review Heretic (2024) 91% 3/4 “Alarm bells start going off almost immediately as “Heretic” shrewdly introduces doubt about what should be believed. At times, it hints at the supernatural: Are the sisters face to face with a potential convert, a religious hobbyist or the devil himself?” – Washington Post Nov 7, 2024 Full Review Lonely Planet (2024) 40% 2/4 “This lethargic romantic drama forces chemistry where there is none and, worse, sells out its aspirationally cool, intelligent female protagonist with an endgame that she — and the luminous Laura Dern — hardly deserves.” – Washington Post Oct 18, 2024 Full Review Will & Harper (2024) 99% 3/4 “Tender and heartfelt, “Will & Harper” rings most true when it ditches the gimmicks and sticks to the comedians in (and out of) cars, getting real.” – Washington Post Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Seeking Mavis Beacon (2024) 75% 3/4 “In this twisty, provocative hybrid documentary, filmmakers Jazmin Renée Jones and Olivia McKayla Ross set out to answer one set of burning questions and instead find themselves navigating a much thornier journey of artistic discovery and reclamation.” – Washington Post Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Cuckoo (2024) 79% 3/4 “Tracking the threats in plain sight is half the fun of “Cuckoo,” an eccentric blend of sci-fi, body horror and cozy Alps noir.” – Washington Post Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Longlegs (2024) 86% 3.5/4 “Nerve-jangling and devilishly bleak, “Longlegs” is easily the front-runner for scariest movie of 2024.” – Washington Post Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) 90% 3.5/5 ““Furiosa” paces out filmmaker George Miller’s signature explosive action amid a mournful cloud, deepening the adult Furiosa’s aching need to find a way home.” – Washington Post May 21, 2024 Full Review I Saw the 온라인카지노추천 Glow (2024) 84% 3.5/4 “Director Jane Schoenbrun blurs the lines between reality and fantasy with an intoxicating, Lynchian flair.” – Washington Post May 18, 2024 Full Review The People's Joker (2022) 96% 3.5/4 “It would be easy to mire this Joker in the darkness of her predecessors, but Drew finds a radically affirming way through. ” – Washington Post Apr 19, 2024 Full Review The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024) 68% 2/4 “The plot breezes on with flimsy banter and bloodshed to go along with scant character development.” – Washington Post Apr 18, 2024 Full Review DogMan (2023) 59% 2/4 “It’s the right kind of bonkers for the right kind of audience, a gaga genre hodgepodge” – Washington Post Mar 27, 2024 Full Review Immaculate (2024) 71% 2.5/5 “Anchored by an impressive performance by Sydney Sweeney, the bloodshed isn’t just welcome but cathartic, a gonzo takedown of religious patriarchy with one hell of a memorable finale that reconfirms the good news: Nunsploitation is back, baby.” – Washington Post Mar 20, 2024 Full Review Ordinary Angels (2024) 84% 2.5/4 “Ritchson is the biggest surprise of the movie. Sun-baked into worn denim and work boots, sporting a mustache and a lived-in twang, he’s the anti-Reacher. A tender girl-dad to the ailing Michelle and her observant older sister Ashley.” – Washington Post Feb 20, 2024 Full Review It's a Wonderful Knife (2023) 55% “Knife speeds through its horror setups without taking time to build actual dread or emotion, leaving behind a trail of cheap, meaningless deaths that hardly seem to impact its heroine, least of all anyone in the audience.” – Los Angeles Times Nov 11, 2023 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's (2023) 32% “It’s an uneven scarefest, but the bloodthirst is at least refreshing.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 30, 2023 Full Review It Lives Inside (2023) 64% “All that really saves It Lives Inside from derivative storytelling beats cribbed from a thousand other horror movies is the cultural specificity of its monster as well as the means by which Sam must ultimately face it.” – Los Angeles Times Sep 22, 2023 Full Review Carmen (2022) 61% “Carmen casts a transporting spell.” – Los Angeles Times Apr 21, 2023 Full Review
