G20 (2025) 59% “Action movies are supposed to be a little mindless, but in 2025, it’s hard to truly turn your mind off, even when you’re watching action movies. So, instead, it’s better to watch one that makes it very clear that it understands the world we live in.” – Fangirlish Apr 13, 2025 Full Review No Address (2025) “The human side of the problem is what makes No Adress so thought-provoking, and in the same way, so relatable.” – Fangirlish Mar 11, 2025 Full Review When I'm Ready (2025) “When I’m Ready is a quietly tragic, but still very poignant movie about finding happiness as the world around you ends—literally. ” – Fangirlish Feb 24, 2025 Full Review The Count of Monte Cristo (2024) 96% “The Count of Monte Cristo fails as both an adaptation of a beloved classic and a movie about either revenge or forgiveness.” – Fangirlish Jan 5, 2025 Full Review Girl Haunts Boy (2024) 92% “Ghost stories are a dime a dozen. Ghost stories that are actually about grief, about love, and about the joy that can be found, even in dark times, when someone else really, truly sees you, are very rare indeed.” – Fangirlish Oct 29, 2024 Full Review The Throwback (2024) “Being a mother is hard work. Justina Machado’s The Throwback, a hilarious family comedy about finding time for yourself, the power of familial love, and what it means to be a “supermom” can truly be summed up in that one sentence. ” – Fangirlish Jul 1, 2024 Full Review Hanky Panky (2023) 90% “Hanky Panky, however, is the right kind of silly movie. What does that mean? It means that there’s a moment where things get so absurd that you wonder if there was ever a plot, or if you just imagined there was. And yet, you never reach for the remote. ” – Fangirlish Jul 1, 2024 Full Review All That We Love (2024) 100% “All That We Love manages, somehow, to be both gentle and cathartic while also showcasing the selfishness and absentminded nature of grief.” – Fangirlish Jul 1, 2024 Full Review I Used to be Funny (2023) 83% “I Used to be Funny is one of those strange movies that manages to be both hilarious and incredibly heartbreaking, and yet there’s truth somewhere in the middle of both those things.” – Fangirlish Jul 1, 2024 Full Review The Imaginary (2023) 91% “Studio Ponoc’s The Imaginary is a beautiful, visually groundbreaking animated film. It is also a deeply emotional tale about friendship, growing up, and the enduring power of imagination.” – Fangirlish Jul 1, 2024 Full Review Am I OK? (2022) 82% “Directors Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne seem more interested in the exploration, in the moments in between the big decisions than they do in the things we have to figure out. That’s what makes Am I OK? such a powerful movie. ” – Fangirlish Jun 11, 2024 Full Review The Dead Don't Hurt (2023) 86% “Both a love story and an exploration of the times, The Dead Don’t Hurt is a look at what it means to be a woman in a time when women were expected to say yes, to belong to a man, any man.” – Fangirlish Jun 4, 2024 Full Review Guy Friends (2024) 87% “Guy Friends is more a movie about friendship than a rom-com, though that it manages to be a little bit of the latter while mostly being the former is a testament to a delightfully well-written script and a charming cast. ” – Fangirlish Jun 4, 2024 Full Review Mickey Hardaway (2023) 100% “Pointed, character-driven, at times hard to watch, but always thought-provoking, the film is a showcase of the types of stories that can be found when new voices are allowed space.” – Fangirlish May 29, 2024 Full Review Turtles All the Way Down (2024) 86% “Turtles All the Way Down, the new movie based on John Green’s best-selling book by the same name, is a raw and honest look at how hard being a teenager while trying to deal with mental health issues can be. ” – Remezcla May 23, 2024 Full Review Argylle (2024) 33% “Argylle isn’t exactly groundbreaking, and though it is certainly fun, it runs long enough that it ends up dragging near the end. But it delivers enough laughs and twists (not to mention a memorable female lead) to be worth a watch.” – Fangirlish Apr 15, 2024 Full Review Scoop (2024) 76% “The quality of acting aside, the movie doesn’t have much to say other than yes, these women did an amazing job at securing an interview Prince Andrew shouldn’t have given. ” – Fangirlish Apr 15, 2024 Full Review The Greatest Hits (2024) 49% “The Greatest Hits is on paper, if not a great idea, at least a decent one. But the movie utterly fails in execution and compounds all the failures by delivering the worst ending a movie that has already failed in this respect can: a predictable one. ” – Fangirlish Apr 12, 2024 Full Review Monkey Man (2024) 89% “Despite feeling bloated at times, there’s enough potential in Monkey Man not just for a sequel, but an entire franchise. Strip the movie of the muddled political undertones, and there’s probably a franchise to be found there, with Patel at its center.” – Lady Geeks Media Apr 8, 2024 Full Review Música (2024) 96% “Rudy Mancuso’s Música is a great showcase of Brazilian culture and an interesting look at the way music is part of everything. Despite the marketing, it is very much not a rom-com, however.” – Fangirlish Apr 8, 2024 Full Review Irish Wish (2024) 42% “Netflix’s Irish Wish is a charming, if formulaic movie that reinforces the notion that we are indeed in a rom-com renaissance, and Lindsay Lohan is certainly one of the biggest names in the genre these days.” – Fangirlish Mar 16, 2024 Full Review Anyone But You (2023) 54% “Anyone But You feels like it’s going to stumble, but the romantic comedy manages to pull off the win in a surprisingly charming and rewatchable movie.” – Fangirlish Mar 13, 2024 Full Review Io Capitano (2023) 96% “Io Capitano, an Oscar nominee for Best International Feature Film, does as great a job at showcasing the perils of immigration in Africa as any movie has done in the past few years.” – Fangirlish Feb 25, 2024 Full Review Marmalade (2024) 69% “Marmalade is a surprising movie that doesn't quite hit all the right notes, but that tries valiantly and succeeds more than it fails. ” – Fangirlish Feb 25, 2024 Full Review Chacaleria (2023) “Chacalería is a good movie, period. It’s not “as good a movie” as it can be considering where it was made, how it was filmed, or who it stars. It’s just a good movie.” – Fangirlish Feb 8, 2024 Full Review
