Being the Ricardos (2021) 68% 3/4 “Rescuing the show and its creators from the realm of comfy nostalgia, Sorkin celebrates a surprisingly radical moment in American pop culture.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Jan 6, 2022 Full Review The Tomorrow War (2021) 52% 2.5/4 “At heart, this is a standard shoot-'em-up whose bad guys are such mindless flesh-eating monsters (think of the original Alien, times a zillion) that slaughtering them in ever more elaborate action sequences becomes the movie's main objective.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Jul 9, 2021 Full Review Dream Horse (2020) 88% 3/4 “A cheer-worthy celebration of persistence, community, and team spirit against all odds, revolving around a most unlikely underdog (make that underhorse) hero named Dream Alliance, Dream Horse couldn't come at a better time.” – Good Times Santa Cruz May 28, 2021 Full Review Together Together (2021) 90% 3/4 “Writer-director Nicole Beckwith chooses to bring her thoughtful comedy to a much more interesting place than we expect.” – Good Times Santa Cruz May 14, 2021 Full Review The Personal History of David Copperfield (2019) 92% 4/4 “Dickens' classic coming-of-age tale gets an energizing makeover that is absolutely true to this spirit of the novel.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Sep 16, 2020 Full Review Blow the Man Down (2019) 99% “Blow The Man Down is an entertaining New England chowder of black comedy, femme-noir, and mood-making from co-writers and directors Bridget Savage Cole and Danielle Krudy.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Mar 25, 2020 Full Review Wendy (2020) 42% 2.5/4 “The movie rackets along on odd bits of beauty, weirdness, exuberance and regret, but the story tends to meander, and it never feels like it quite gets anywhere.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Mar 18, 2020 Full Review EMMA. (2020) 86% 3.5/4 “Combines a savvy script from Eleanor Catton with a scrupulously assembled visual narrative from music video director Autumn de Wilde, in her impressive feature debut.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Mar 11, 2020 Full Review Seberg (2019) 36% 2/4 “Ultimately, it's only so much window-dressing that can't quite disguise the fact that this movie doesn't actually know what makes its nominal heroine tick.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Mar 4, 2020 Full Review The Assistant (2019) 93% 3/4 “Garner has the pale, porcelain face of a Renaissance angel; it's almost physically painful to watch her eyes, her expression, her entire demeanor darken with anxiety over the course of her workday.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Feb 26, 2020 Full Review Downhill (2020) 36% 2.5/4 “Co-produced by Louis-Dreyfus, it does have more of a frenetic undercurrent than the spare, sober original, but the theme of disrupted trust still has a harrowing edge.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Feb 19, 2020 Full Review The Song of Names (2019) 39% 3/4 “An often-moving meditation on the purpose and privilege of artistic expression.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Jan 29, 2020 Full Review 63 Up (2019) 98% 3/4 “With so many backstories to fill in, the movie runs to nearly three hours, yet it's an invaluable portrait of humanity in transition.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Jan 15, 2020 Full Review Little Women (2019) 95% 3/4 “The movie exudes so much exuberant and heartfelt goodwill that it's impossible to dislike.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Jan 8, 2020 Full Review Cats (2019) 19% 2.5/4 “There is fun to be had at this adaptation of the blockbuster stage production, and it's the holidays, so you might as well have it.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Jan 2, 2020 Full Review Frankie (2019) 57% 2/4 “There are moments when we understand that deeply felt emotions are being conveyed, but Sachs keeps everything so subdued, at such a stubbornly low-key register, that we don't feel them as deeply as we should.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Dec 18, 2019 Full Review Waves (2019) 84% 3/4 “The gripping domestic drama Waves is an often-fascinating piece of filmmaking that encompasses euphoria, tragedy and every conceivable emotion in between in depicting a solid American family unit sliding in and out of crisis.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Dec 11, 2019 Full Review The Good Liar (2019) 64% 2.5/4 “Even in its least persuasive moments -- and there are a few -- the fun of watching Mirren and McKellan prowling around the screen, leading each other a merry dance is mostly its own reward.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Nov 27, 2019 Full Review Harriet (2019) 74% 3/4 “Lemmons' melodramatic flourishes can be overdone... But Harriet's story is so important, it rises in triumph over all obstacles -- like the woman herself.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Nov 13, 2019 Full Review The Current War: Director's Cut (2019) 61% 3/4 “Gomez-Rejon and scriptwriter Michael Mitnick rely on effective storytelling, interesting characterizations and period opulence to give the movie its charge.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Lucy in the Sky (2019) 21% 2/4 “Despite its lofty, quasi-spiritual ambitions, the movie can't escape the gravitational pull of its own mundane, disappointing plotting and chaotic execution to get into orbit.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Oct 16, 2019 Full Review Raise Hell: The Life & Times of Molly Ivins (2019) 95% 4/4 “Along with the pleasures of watching Ivins in action, answering fans and critics alike with irreverent aplomb, Engel's movie serves up an affectionate portrait of Ivins' longtime friendship with another strong, salty Texas woman, Ann Richards.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Oct 9, 2019 Full Review Judy (2019) 82% 2.5/4 “Zellweger shines in Judy's dramatic mannerisms, vibrant emotionalism, and sly, self-deprecating sense of humor. She deserves a movie as complicated as her performance.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Oct 2, 2019 Full Review Downton Abbey (2019) 84% 3/4 “The darker complexities of all their relationships can only be hinted at here, but at least Fellowes and company provide two hours of easy entertainment, with plenty to look at along the way.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Sep 25, 2019 Full Review Official Secrets (2019) 82% 3/4 “There's nothing slick or flashy about Gavin Hood's tightly constructed and efficient suspense drama.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Sep 11, 2019 Full Review
