The Parenting (2025) 48% B “The Parenting was an unexpected delight of a comedy horror movie that provided a perfect balance of camp and possession.” – Fangirlish Mar 30, 2025 Full Review Didn't Die (2025) 63% C “Didn't Die had it in the beginning and squandered it towards the end, wasting the potential of these really unique characters.” – Fangirlish Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% A “Mickey 17 was an unexpected delight that reminded me of why I loved Starship Troopers so much as a kid.” – Fangirlish Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Two Women (2025) 95% B- “Two Women is a story about how there is no one way to be a woman, mother, lover, friend, or a human being.” – Fangirlish Feb 20, 2025 Full Review The Gorge (2025) 63% A “The Gorge made me invested in the story of Levi and Drasa to the point where the mystery of the gorge itself became secondary.” – Fangirlish Feb 18, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% B “Kudos to Companion for making me cheer for the demise of *spoiler* with an enthusiasm I haven’t experienced in years.” – Fangirlish Feb 7, 2025 Full Review Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) 85% A+ “In a landscape continuously riddled with reboots, remakes, and sequels, Sonic 3 stands out. It does that by trusting the viewer while also honoring the decades worth of source material.” – Fangirlish Feb 4, 2025 Full Review 20,000 Species of Bees (2023) 93% A “20000 Species of Bees [...] was a delicate reminder of those who do accept us and open the door. Even if just a crack. Those people are there and they change lives. ” – Fangirlish Jul 22, 2024 Full Review Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) 54% A+ “...I’m [...] very aware that there is a lot of chatter online about The New Empire and how it’s just a WWE smackdown but with monsters and I’m like…so? I know what I came here for. ” – Fangirlish Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Love Lies Bleeding (2024) 94% B “The fact that Love Lies Bleeding made every moment count, is the true strength of the movie. ” – Fangirlish Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Monkey Man (2024) 89% B+ “...yes we’ve seen this kind of movie before. But we have never seen it through this lens. And that makes it worthwhile.” – Fangirlish Jul 5, 2024 Full Review In a Violent Nature (2024) 78% D- “In a Violent Nature hyped itself up so much with its killer POV that it got swallowed up by its own hubris. ” – Fangirlish Jul 5, 2024 Full Review The Watchers (2024) 33% D “The Watchers unfortunately suffers from [Ishana Shyamalan's fathers] hollow way of telling stories that lack true emotional depth and human connection.” – Fangirlish Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Inside Out 2 (2024) 91% B “Inside Out 2 has me thinking about how the older you get, the more complex emotions are and how we find a way to define ourselves within that glorious mess. And me thinking about it long after the film is done, is [...] a success for the movie...” – Fangirlish Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Arcadian (2024) 78% C “The best part of the monster movie Arcadian is Nicolas Cage. And the worst part of Arcadian is the lack of Nicolas Cage.” – Fangirlish Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Under Paris (2024) 63% C “Under Paris would have done better as a shark film if it picked a lane. It was pretending to be a story about grief & then one about ignorant governments and then another story about how humans endanger wildlife. ” – Fangirlish Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Imaginary (2024) 24% C “Imaginary was cookie-cutter with a dash of making me contemplate something fresh for the horror genre.” – Fangirlish Mar 19, 2024 Full Review Damsel (2024) 56% C- “Damsel just was. Not heartbreaking. Not heart pounding.” – Fangirlish Mar 13, 2024 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's (2023) 32% B “Everything has a purpose and the designs are enough that OG fans will understand everything but new fans will also pick up on the clues that are being dropped through the design.” – Fangirlish Feb 25, 2024 Full Review No One Will Save You (2023) 83% B “[...] pleasantly surprised to watch something that honored previous alien movies but stood apart from the crowd and gave us something fresh.” – Fangirlish Feb 25, 2024 Full Review No Way Up (2024) 38% B “I couldn’t decide if this was the worst thing I had ever watched or the best. After watching, I’ve come to the conclusion that this is peak cinema that didn’t take itself too seriously and opened the doorway for sequels where it’s a plane versus a kraken.” – Fangirlish Feb 25, 2024 Full Review Suncoast (2024) 77% B “[Suncoast] was an opportunity for [Nico Parker] to step out on her own and prove that she could emote curiosity, simmering rage, confusion, resentment, and just a whole multitude of emotions.” – Fangirlish Feb 25, 2024 Full Review Badland Hunters (2024) 67% C- “Badland Hunters couldn’t decide if it was an action movie, a feel-good movie, a sci-fi movie, or a movie about a gentle giant who actually has a dark past [...]” – Fangirlish Feb 1, 2024 Full Review It Lives Inside (2023) 64% B- “It Lives Inside isn't reinventing the horror genre. But it wielded subtle horror elements in a way that makes this movie feel like a hidden gem that more people should watch.” – Fangirlish Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Good Grief (2023) 76% F “Good Grief is aimless, disjointed, and consists of a group of friends you end up having no sympathy for because even though they’re grieving, they spend more time telling you about grief instead of showing you through the actual movie.” – Fangirlish Jan 16, 2024 Full Review
