Slanted (2025) 82% “Slanted does not quite reach compelling highs, but it’s put together with a ton of passion for the subject matter, as you can tell that this story feels largely autobiographical for Amy Wang.” – Film Inquiry Apr 5, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 54% “Essentially the T-Rex family coming to terrorize the family in Saltburn. It’s not as smart or as sharp as it could be, but thankfully Ortega and Rudd keep the story somewhat grounded and there’s enough creature feature tropes to be enjoyed here.” – Film Inquiry Apr 5, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 84% “Landon continues his streak of delivering horror comedies. This is easily the same studio that gave us M3GAN, and you bet that’s a compliment. Frankly, we should be getting ten of these kinds of movies every year.” – Film Inquiry Apr 5, 2025 Full Review The Astronaut (2025) 45% C “The Astronaut [is] a film with an admittedly unique perspective on the alien subgenre, but sadly takes too long to make its voice heard.” – AwardsWatch Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Ash (2025) 74% B- “The biggest strength of the film is Eiza González herself. In her most emotionally demanding and physically exhausting performance to date, González channels her inner Ellen Ripley and carries the entire film on her shoulders.” – AwardsWatch Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Clown in a Cornfield (2025) 93% B “There’s something to be said about how upfront and forward the filmmakers are here, as they tap into a specific kind of experience that drew moviegoers into the theater back in the days of Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street.” – AwardsWatch Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Descendent (2025) 90% B+ “Ross Marquand is beautifully sensitive here, as Sean often jumps between helplessness and determination – sometimes in the same scene. It’s a rare kind of male performance, particularly for an actor of Marquand’s physique.” – AwardsWatch Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Hold Your Breath (2024) 40% “It simply comes down to not enough happens. Even when Paulson is giving a delightfully unhinged performance, the film can’t escape the impression of constantly spinning in place.” – Film Inquiry Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Presence (2024) 88% “A remarkable dance between actor and camera, forcing the audience to gain an incredibly invasive amount of access. Though inevitably light on story, Presence is such an impressive feat in the technical department.” – Film Inquiry Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Heretic (2024) 91% “The most uncomfortable TED talk about religion you’ll ever attend. Writers and directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods channel the same kind of gonzo energy that made films like Barbarian so great – they remember to keep their horror fun.” – Film Inquiry Sep 19, 2024 Full Review The Shadow Strays (2024) 91% B- “When your previous film was already dialed up to eleven, what more can be done? The Shadow Strays proves that, for better or worse, you can only stay at eleven for a longer duration than last time.” – AwardsWatch Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Dead Talents Society (2024) 94% A “Dead Talents Society is the most wholesome horror movie I’ve ever seen. Never did I expect to see horror have this much joy, yet here we are. For a movie filled with dead people everywhere, I walked out with tears on my face, feeling so alive.” – AwardsWatch Sep 9, 2024 Full Review The Wild Robot (2024) 96% A “The Wild Robot is destined to be a classic. Not only will it help children discover their compassion and kindness, but it will help adults regain theirs.” – AwardsWatch Sep 8, 2024 Full Review The Return (2024) 78% B+ “In the same spirit of how Joel Coen made The Tragedy of Macbeth minimalist, The Return strips the journey of Odysseus and Penelope down to its bare bones.” – AwardsWatch Sep 8, 2024 Full Review Piece By Piece (2024) 83% C+ “It’s made with love and good intentions, and you can tell that there are places where Pharrell is truly opening up about his feelings. But for a documentary that hits all the standard music biopic notes, this one feels very safe.” – AwardsWatch Sep 8, 2024 Full Review The Imaginary (2023) 91% C+ “The film’s greatest strength is also its greatest weakness. Scene by scene, there is always something happening that either puts our characters in a bad situation or does some world-building for the audience.” – AwardsWatch Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) 54% C+ “Adam Wingard is enthusiastically reminding us that for 70 years, Godzilla is and always has been a spectrum. He is as somber as he is silly, as grim as he is intergalactically stupid, and everyone’s favorite fire-breathing lizard chonk is here to stay.” – AwardsWatch Mar 28, 2024 Full Review The Fall Guy (2024) 82% “The Fall Guy feels like a nostalgic trip back, a nudge towards how movies used to be and should be more like – sincere and fun and romantic – all while being an unapologetic celebration of crew.” – Film Inquiry Mar 18, 2024 Full Review Monkey Man (2024) 89% “The blood, sweat, and tears are all over the floor here. For an action directorial debut, Monkey Man is no doubt an explosive one. It’s as dirty and grimy as you can get, and it’s a sign of more ferocious talent to come.” – Film Inquiry Mar 18, 2024 Full Review Road House (2024) 60% “There are those movies that fulfill that niche role of playing on 온라인카지노추천 at 2am, and whether you are drunk or a bit high, those movies are the f***ing best at that moment. Road House is that movie, and I think everyone on board knew it from the start.” – Film Inquiry Mar 18, 2024 Full Review Civil War (2024) 81% B “Garland is conditioning us to see images that we would too often associate with “some other country out there, not here.” But they are happening here, right now. He aims for the immersive, suffocating experience that hits as if it’s reality itself.” – AwardsWatch Mar 15, 2024 Full Review Y2K (2024) 42% C+ “Y2K can be unfocused and too disorganized for its own good sometimes, but as a time capsule of the real 90s phenomenon, it’s a crazy wild ride worth taking at least once.” – AwardsWatch Mar 12, 2024 Full Review Sing Sing (2023) 97% A “Not only is Sing Sing one of the most soul-searching films in recent years, it is perhaps the most honest depiction of art as an expression of hope and inner strength. ” – AwardsWatch Mar 9, 2024 Full Review Godzilla Minus One (2023) 99% A- “Godzilla has been the King of the Monsters for 70 years now. Whether you love him as a metaphor for nuclear destruction or as Japan’s tourism ambassador, his versatility is his greatest strength.” – AwardsWatch Nov 22, 2023 Full Review Napoleon (2023) 58% “One can understandably argue that Napoleon can’t make up its mind on what to be. [Ridley] Scott clearly wants to do all of the above, and the truth of the matter is that all of those ideas are interesting, despite not meshing perfectly together.” – Film Inquiry Nov 21, 2023 Full Review
