Night Fight (2025) C+ “As self-examining as it is extrospective, Night Fight does a well-enough job at continuing the conversation of generational racism even as the film succumbs to an abrupt conclusion and slow pacing. ” – Cinematic Words of a Chaotic Gemini (Substack) Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Odyssey (2025) A- “Gerard Johnson's Odyssey is an engaging character study that shows what happens when the worst person you know is having the worst week of their life. ” – Cinematic Words of a Chaotic Gemini (Substack) Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Reeling (2025) B- “Ryan Wuestewald is the guiding force of a thriller about messy family ties that left me wanting a bit more but is powerful enough. ” – Cinematic Words of a Chaotic Gemini (Substack) Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Clown in a Cornfield (2025) 93% A- “Funny, terrifying, and with some surprising heart, Clown in a Cornfield is a definite treat for horror fans. ” – Cinematic Words of a Chaotic Gemini (Substack) Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 84% B+ “After proving herself a capable scene-stealer on shows like The White Lotus and The Perfect Couple, Meghann Fahy successfully graduates to leading lady status.” – Cinematic Words of a Chaotic Gemini (Substack) Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Holland (2025) 21% C “When you add in a painfully underused Rachel Sennott, it makes Holland all the more disappointing. ” – Cinematic Words of a Chaotic Gemini (Substack) Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Another Simple Favor (2025) 81% B “Although the sequel spices things up by having a more exotic setting and the scene-stealing duo of Elizabeth Perkins and Allison Janney joining the cast, Another Simple Favor does get bogged down by getting too twist-y as the mystery unfolds. ” – Cinematic Words of a Chaotic Gemini (Substack) Apr 10, 2025 Full Review I Really Love My Husband (2025) 92% B+ “Although I Really Love My Husband could've been a tad longer, its acting and exotic location make watching it feel enough like paradise. ” – Cinematic Words of a Chaotic Gemini (Substack) Apr 3, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 53% B+ “Although it takes a while for the scares and guts to set in motion, the lead-up before then allows us to spend time with the characters the way a good monster movie does so that we know which characters' grisly ends carry the most emotional weight. ” – Cinematic Words of a Chaotic Gemini (Substack) Apr 3, 2025 Full Review O'Dessa (2025) 38% B “As much as the final destination is an overdrawn climax, the performances, the visuals, and the eclectic soundtrack in O'Dessa make the journey through Satylite City a memorable one. ” – Cinematic Words of a Chaotic Gemini (Substack) Apr 3, 2025 Full Review The Dutchman (2025) 64% B “Holland and Mara are the strong center of a film that still has me on a tightrope between "like" and "love" due to stylistic film-making choices almost being outweighed by writing ones but nevertheless, is a film that still lingers in my head. ” – Cinematic Words of a Chaotic Gemini (Substack) Apr 3, 2025 Full Review Glorious Summer (2025) B+ “Glorious Summer is a well-lensed, intriguing odyssey into a sun-drenched hellscape. ” – AwardsWatch Apr 3, 2025 Full Review My Uncle Jens (2025) B+ “Although topics addressed in the film such as forced assimilation have been depicted before, My Uncle Jens still brilliantly keeps the vital conversation on such issues going while shining a spotlight on an often underrepresented Middle Eastern culture.” – AwardsWatch Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 84% “A hypnotic and immersive adaptation of the classic vampire tale. ” – Cinematic Words of a Chaotic Gemini (Substack) Dec 31, 2024 Full Review The Girl With the Needle (2024) 92% B+ “A well-shot odyssey into psychological despair with engaging central performances.” – Cinematic Words of a Chaotic Gemini (Substack) Dec 31, 2024 Full Review Bird (2024) 86% B “Barry Keoghan helps this profound entry in

– Cinematic Words of a Chaotic Gemini (Substack) Oct 3, 2024 Full Review Bonjour Tristesse (2024) 60% C “The latest version of Bonjour Tristesse just feels like the '58 film only with a modern setting. ” – The Film Experience Oct 3, 2024 Full Review Conclave (2024) 93% B+ “While Edward Berger's last film possessed strong performances, Conclave is even more of an acting showcase. ” – The Film Experience Oct 3, 2024 Full Review Presence (2024) 88% B “A compellingly subversive ghost story from director Steven Soderbergh. ” – Cinematic Words of a Chaotic Gemini (Substack) Oct 3, 2024

Them Down (2024) 90% B “With the way their performances mostly live in their expressions, both Abbott and Keoghan are the exquisite core of a film where the screenplay relies on the characters’ actions to tell the story more than expository dialogue.” – AwardsWatch Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Daniela Forever (2024) 83% B- “Henry Golding astounds as the grief-stricken Nicolas, exuding alluring charm during the romantic scenes and tenuous yet immense distress. ” – AwardsWatch Sep 11, 2024 Full Review
