Hello Beautiful (2025) 73% 1.5/4 “Given that Hello Beautiful‘s sole reason for being seems to be to induce sympathy for a woman with breast cancer, saying that it attempts to do absolutely nothing else feels like a criticism both too harsh and too gentle.” – 1More Film Blog Apr 21, 2025 Full Review Relative Control (2025) 2/4 “While I enjoyed seeing Polo in a dramatic role, I can’t recommend Relative Control to anyone except for her staunchest fans.” – 1More Film Blog Apr 13, 2025 Full Review The Librarians (2025) 100% 3/4 “The Librarians sizzles with righteous indignation and is steeped in unimaginable pain. ” – 1More Film Blog Apr 6, 2025 Full Review Speak. (2025) 100% 3/4 “Comes with all the feels one wants and needs from a festival crowd-pleaser.” – 1More Film Blog Apr 5, 2025 Full Review Blue Road: The Edna O'Brien Story (2024) 100% 3.5/5 “The juxtaposition of a young woman’s diaries with an old woman’s recollections provides the narrative with emotional and tonal variance.” – 1More Film Blog Apr 5, 2025 Full Review William Tell (2024) 56% 2/4 “Unlike in Braveheart or The Patriot, it is the hero’s success rather than his defiance that ultimately rallies his kinsmen.” – 1More Film Blog Apr 4, 2025 Full Review The King of Kings (2025) 64% 3/4 “For those who want Easter to be a special occasion that warrants an infrequent trip to the cinema, I am happy they have something that is not cringe-worthy to throw their Passion Dollars at.” – 1More Film Blog Apr 4, 2025 Full Review WTO/99 (2025) 3/4 “We rarely distance ourselves from current events long enough to really contemplate how quickly the ideological lines we think are eternal and intractable shift.” – 1More Film Blog Apr 3, 2025 Full Review Helen and the Bear (2024) 2/4 “Her inability to verbalize why she stayed with him even though she hates the institution of marriage provides the film with some poignancy, but it can also cause exasperation.” – 1More Film Blog Mar 31, 2025 Full Review Birdsong (2025) 2/4 “The press materials also name-drop Keats quite a bit, which was what got me to watch.” – 1More Film Blog Mar 30, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 40% 3.5/5 “It is not exactly a hot take or a new take to suggest that early “buzz” surrounding a film may be based on something other than neutral aesthetic and artistic judgments.” – 1More Film Blog Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% 2/4 “You get a good forty minutes of “Smash!…Boom!…Pow!” sprinkled around two hours of allusions to a geopolitical landscape that the film is ultimately uninterested in or unwilling to explore.” – 1More Film Blog Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Cash for Gold (2024) 100% 2.5/4 “Nearly all of the plot points and story beats are predictable, but Cash for Gold demonstrates that execution matters.” – 1More Film Blog Feb 2, 2025 Full Review The Night Is Dark and Colder Than the Day (2025) 2/4 “The obvious point of comparison here is Michael Apted’s Seven Up series, and I spent a good portion of the film wondering why I have revisited Apted’s kids several times but lost interest pretty quickly in Friedrich’s.” – 1More Film Blog Feb 2, 2025 Full Review You're Cordially Invited (2025) 48% 2.5/4 “The weaker script needs [Farrell and Witherspoon] to lean heavily on their personal charisma and damn if they don't deliver. ” – 1More Film Blog Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Celebration (2024) 91% 2/4 “At eighty-six minutes it feels too slight for its themes and yet too long for its style.” – 1More Film Blog Jan 13, 2025 Full Review The Waiting Game (2024) 100% 2.5/4 “The film gives us enough of the former players that we can't help but be glad they were compensated for their contributions.” – 1More Film Blog Dec 1, 2024 Full Review Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. (2024) 67% 2.5/4 “It’s better than most movies aimed at and marketed to Christians in that it at least allows for some nuance when thinking about its ideas.” – 1More Film Blog Nov 27, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 2/4 “My complaint isn't so much that this one doesn't reach the same heights as the first but that the drop-off is so steep, it signals a lack of ambition that comes across as almost cynical.” – 1More Film Blog Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Wicked (2024) 87% 1.5/4 “A bright, loud paintball splatter of a movie — one that seems to me to be as uncertain of what it wants to be as it is how to be it.” – 1More Film Blog Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Red One (2024) 30% 2/4 “By the time it gets to the good stuff, the theater audience felt a little restless.” – 1More Film Blog Nov 15, 2024 Full Review A Real Pain (2024) 96% 2.5/4 “That David knows [that Benji is in pain] all along rather than suddenly discovering it in an Oscar-bait epiphany is to the film’s credit and what keeps it, for me, on the positive side of rotten/fresh line. ” – 1More Film Blog Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Fighting Spirit: A Combat Chaplain's Journey (2024) 4/5 “While there were plenty of stories of bravery and sacrifice in combat, it was these stories of speaking truth to power that left the deepest mark on me.” – 1More Film Blog Nov 2, 2024 Full Review Last Party (2024) 1.5/4 “ A narrative that tells us what the characters are feeling and not much else.” – 1More Film Blog Oct 29, 2024 Full Review Chasing Chasing Amy (2023) 94% 2.5/5 “The intensity of Rodgers’ affinity for Chasing Amy, while understandable, in some ways makes him the least effective person to hear or respond to criticisms of it. ” – 1More Film Blog Oct 27, 2024 Full Review
