Paddington in Peru (2024) 93% “It’s less a sequel than a spin-off, but that gives it more freedom to just be a silly good time.” – Chicago Reader Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Den of Thieves: Pantera (2025) 61% “Den of Thieves 2: Pantera isn’t a shift from the first film so much as it is a refinement. This is a more elegant, mature manifestation of “dudes rock,” like a Solo cup of limoncello instead of a room-temp bottle of Mountain Dew Code Red. ” – Chicago Reader Jan 16, 2025 Full Review Megalopolis (2024) 45% “It's also endlessly fascinating and a little extraordinary, a movie so insistent on bucking contemporary cinematic trends that it could only be self-funded by an octogenarian artist-turned–wine baron...” – Chicago Reader Oct 3, 2024 Full Review Between the Temples (2024) 85% “With both misery and comedy, director Nathan Silver satisfyingly captures the Jewish experience.” – Chicago Reader Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Longlegs (2024) 86% “It’s stunning how quickly it unravels into mediocrity after that interaction, how frantically it tries to scrub away any trace of mystery with flashbacks and voiceovers...” – Chicago Reader Jul 17, 2024 Full Review Night Swim (2024) 19% “Night Swim might be the first movie to star a haunted pool, but its story beats are interchangeable with any other horror movie in the microgenre of kindly fathers turning mean after a real estate–based possession.” – Chicago Reader Jan 13, 2024 Full Review The Zone of Interest (2023) 93% “It’s a claustrophobic and uncomfortable viewing experience because it doesn’t ask for our sympathy—it confronts us with our passivity.” – Chicago Reader Jan 13, 2024 Full Review Wonka (2023) 82% “I can’t be upset at a movie with this much warmth and craft across the board, one that believes so earnestly...” – Chicago Reader Dec 16, 2023 Full Review The Nun II (2023) 51% “The Catholic horror wheel isn’t reinvented, but the jump scares are so nonstop and occasionally clever that I was left wondering: is this the most fun I’ve had at the movies all summer?” – Chicago Reader Sep 22, 2023 Full Review The Equalizer 3 (2023) 76% “Denzel seems to be sleepwalking through every scene that doesn’t involve gouging and/or stabbing.” – Chicago Reader Sep 8, 2023 Full Review Kandahar (2023) 45% “If I’m going to watch this man retcon the war on terror to look heroic, it should at the very least be over-the-top enough to be entertaining.” – Chicago Reader Jun 3, 2023 Full Review Fast X (2023) 57% “Fast X continues the franchise’s mission to scale bigger and campier heights, and there are moments that will have you full-volume hooting and hollering in your seat, but it’s undone by the gravest sin of this cinematic universe: it breaks up the family.” – Chicago Reader Jun 3, 2023 Full Review The Boogeyman (2023) 61% “It fits neatly into this lineage of trauma monster movies like Smile, Men, and Hatching...thankfully, despite the lack of subtlety inherent to that approach, it’s probably the best of the bunch so far.” – Chicago Reader Jun 3, 2023 Full Review Evil Dead Rise (2023) 84% “The first sequel in a full decade, this should feel like getting an Evil Dead reunion, but instead it’s more akin to a so-so tribute band.” – Chicago Reader Apr 26, 2023 Full Review Magic Mike's Last Dance (2023) 48% “...it’s only a baby step in the wrong direction: in a decidedly sexless era of American cinema, Steven Soderbergh is still the only man brave enough to deliver...” – Chicago Reader Feb 11, 2023 Full Review M3GAN (2022) 93% “This won't pop up on any top ten lists by the end of the year, but for a genre film released in a month typically reserved as a dumping ground for studios, this is all you could hope for.” – Chicago Reader Jan 14, 2023 Full Review
