Amélie (2001)
90%
“At two hours, Jeunet certainly could have been a little harder on himself in the editing room, but Amélie is so breezily enjoyable, its wide-eyed star so undeniably winsome, I can’t honestly say I cared very much while I was watching it.” –

Y tu mamá también (2001)

“By contrasting a broader vision of Mexico with this very intimate little tale, Cuarón delivers a film in which each benefits from the other's existence. ” –

Moonlight (2016)

“It isn't for black audiences or art-house audiences or liberal audiences or whatever reductive cultural niche people might try to shove it into. Simply, it is one of the most striking films of the year and it is, I believe, for everyone.” –

Arrival (2016)

“Some grossly overstated dialogue keeps an immensely fascinating story and inventive visualization of a human-alien struggle to communicate from touching our tenderest sci-fi cinema soft-spots.” –

Jackie (2016)

“The film is fascinatingly moribund, more meditation than narrative, a sort of monument to a singular act of public and private mourning.” –

Barry (2016)

2/5
“This is a very pretty movie with a very compelling premise and very talented actors, but pacing, hazily conceived characters and a rather simplistic approach to psychology make it very hard to love.” –

Beauty and the Beast (1946)

“The gags, many of which come packaged with the premise, largely fall flat. For all the thought put into No Men, it still feels more like the makings of some solid sketch comedy than a feature film.” –
