The Penguin Lessons (2024)
80%
3/5
“The Penguin Lessons doesn’t stray far from the animals-as-source-of-redemption blueprint, but Coogan elevates the material (it’s very much in his wheelhouse). The role fits him like a glove and his relationship with the penguin is genuinely touching.” –

“Writer/director Guiraudie’s refusal to provide clear answers can be maddening, but adds to the increasingly surreal atmosphere.” –

The Substance (2024)

3.5/5
“For all the things The Substance does right,...the film is so detached viewers may have a hard time getting emotionally invested. It’s more like watching an alien nature documentary about the lengths humans would go to remain forever young.” –

Blitz (2024)

4/5
“At times Blitz is a notch tropey and wastes a perfectly good Harris Dickinson (Triangle of Sadness) in a pointless role, but the shortcomings are far fewer than the things McQueen gets right. ” –

“Outside McKellen and Mark Strong's performances, the writing is also worth your attention...As thinking movies go, this one is serviceable, if not memorable.” –

“I commend Robert Eggers for taking the most roundabout route possible to not cover new ground, but the truth is you can do historic horror with fresh thrills. ” –

The Apprentice (2024)

3.5/5
“Overall, The Apprentice is an effective character study. A little too neat, perhaps, but every major element comes from well-documented events in Donald Trump’s life.” –

Deaner '89 (2024)

“While it's perfectly consistent with the rest of the movie, the second half of Deaner '89 isn't as compelling.” –

Strange Darling (2023)

3/5
“The film’s heart is two profoundly damaged people with two default modes: fight or flight. And while the movie doesn’t stick the landing, a good portion of it’s intriguing.” –

Kneecap (2024)
96%
3/5
“Kneecap feels very fresh. The film’s music and subject (language preservation as the Northern Irish’s last stand) are fascinating. The rags-to-riches template all music biopics have is there, but the movie takes enough detours to remain intriguing.” –

In a Violent Nature (2024)

“Instead of a plot, In a Violent Nature has detour after detour, and spends an inordinate amount of time staring at the back of the killer’s head.” –

Prey (2022)
94%
2.5/5
“It does many smart things —simplification of the character's ethos, First Nations setting, the casting of Amber Midthunder as the lead— but overall it's a run-of-the-mill actioner good enough to make us wonder why it didn't get a theatrical release.” –

Fall (2022)
79%
2.5/5
“Fall is at its best when dealing with the challenges of being stuck In the middle of nowhere and no help in sight. Everything that could possibly go wrong does, and the fact the protagonists are mildly competent makes every complication more plausible.” –

“Alas, at least the first hour of Beau is Afraid is a complete riot, a smorgasbord of black comedy and modern neuroses with a dash of slapstick. The real feat would have been to sustain that pace for the entire movie. ” –

Evil Dead Rise (2023)

“It’s thoroughly tense with genuine hair-raising moments. The movie only falters when it doubles down on the gore at the expense of character development: it wastes an opportunity to pursue more lasting unease as opposed to just temporary thrills.” –

“The movie doesn’t have characters but stereotypes and the moment it touches on something real, it sacrifices it for a comedy bit. The film is cohesive enough to be watchable, but if you’re looking for insight, try somewhere else.” –
