Dramarama (2020) 100% A “Johnathan Wysocki's Dramarama finally gives the closeted, gay Christian kids of America a story of their own.” – Out Magazine Aug 27, 2021 Full Review Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road (2021) 89% B+ “Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road is unmissable for anyone with even a passing interest in the history of music from the Beach Boys era and beyond.” – The Film Stage Jun 22, 2021 Full Review Wojnarowicz (2020) 97% B+ “[Director Chris] McKim keeps the story moving at a breakneck pace, capturing the influential chaos that Wojnarowicz whipped up around him, and how quickly spaces transformed by his touch.” – The Film Stage Mar 19, 2021 Full Review The Scary of Sixty-First (2021) 54% B- “Dasha Nekrasova's chilling debut manages to firmly place Epstein's crimes in a human story that elucidates the existence of unfathomable evil.” – The Film Stage Mar 15, 2021 Full Review MLK/FBI (2020) 98% B “Hoover's behavior revealed he was a voyeur who held his subjects like prey instead of objects of desire. In short, [he] perverted a kink and stripped it of sexuality; transforming it into political subterfuge.” – The Film Stage Oct 19, 2020 Full Review I Carry You With Me (2020) 97% A- “I Carry You With Me is the victorious marriage of fiction and documentary.” – The Film Stage Oct 2, 2020 Full Review Spree (2020) 65% A- “It's the first social media movie I've seen that rightly contextualizes how we use each other online.” – The Film Stage Aug 14, 2020 Full Review Hacksaw Ridge (2016) 84% B+ “Hacksaw Ridge is about an unbelievable man doing unbelievable things for people who don't like him.” – Mockingbird Jun 30, 2020 Full Review Swiss Army Man (2016) 73% B “Swiss Army Man shows that a person's strengths and weaknesses are inextricable.” – Mockingbird Jun 30, 2020 Full Review Disclosure (2020) 98% C+ “I imagine the young people it will help, both trans and gay, and the mistakes the filmmaker made doesn't seem as detrimental.” – The Film Stage Jun 29, 2020 Full Review To the Stars (2019) 82% C- “How Maggie's own fate is handled squarely places her in the problematic trope that's as old as the black and white styling of the movie's cinematography.” – Out Magazine Jun 25, 2020 Full Review Isle of Dogs (2018) 90% A “While Wes Anderson's movies are firmly heterosexual, Isle of Dogs shows gay compassion as a timely political gesture.” – INTO Jun 25, 2020 Full Review Irresistible (2020) 40% B+ “The film is like Jon Stewart doing Frank Capra in 2020 without the sentimentality.” – AwardsWatch Jun 22, 2020 Full Review Welcome to Chechnya (2020) 100% B “Welcome to Chechnya is certainly an empathetic look at a harrowing struggle, but the necessary secretive nature of every element in the making of this documentary can at times leave one feeling disconnected from what's happening.” – The Film Stage Jun 18, 2020 Full Review Capone (2020) 40% D+ “Capone is more about Trank's experience in Hollywood than Fonzo's last days.” – AwardsWatch May 11, 2020 Full Review Incredibles 2 (2018) 93% B+ “Incredibles 2 might be a cash grab for NYSE:DIS, but, thankfully, not the artists behind the project. Here's a rare sequel that matches the original by narrowing its focus.” – The Film Stage Mar 8, 2020 Full Review Wonder Wheel (2017) 31% C- “Had Allen tried something akin to Godard's King Lear with this story, viewers might get more from Wonder Wheel than a gorgeous visual palette with an empty center.” – The Film Stage Mar 8, 2020 Full Review Coincoin and the Extra-Humans (Coincoin et les Z'inhumains) (2018) 93% B+ “CoinCoin and the Extra-Humans takes the tropes and character types from the first movie and accentuates their extremities.” – The Film Stage Mar 8, 2020 Full Review Triple Frontier (2019) 71% B- “Triple Frontier borrows The Treasure of Sierra Madre's plot but lacks John Huston's fortitude to analyze and rightly judge the mercenaries.” – The Film Stage Mar 8, 2020 Full Review The Glorias (2020) 67% C “In our political times one understands why Taymor would use a figure like Gloria Steinem to be the spark that will light the fire that will burn down the patriarchy in the White House.” – AwardsWatch Jan 31, 2020 Full Review The Last Thing He Wanted (2020) 5% D+ “Not even half a dozen Oscar winners and nominees can save a story that manages to be both formulaic and convoluted.” – AwardsWatch Jan 28, 2020 Full Review Downhill (2020) 36% B+ “Downhill shows audiences both actors are aware enough to play with expectations without totally abandoning what makes them the biggest stars in comedy.” – AwardsWatch Jan 27, 2020 Full Review Kajillionaire (2020) 90% B- “Kajillionaire is the kind of story that exists in a space between the mundane and the profound.” – AwardsWatch Jan 26, 2020 Full Review
