On Swift Horses (2024) 52% “For a movie whose core metaphor is about gambling, On Swift Horses rarely takes risks, sketching superficial characters that are more ideas than real people.” – Chicago Reader Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Blue Sun Palace (2024) 100% “Tsang chooses to forgo much attention to plot or character development, instead prioritizing mood, choosing to harness grief in its pure form.” – Chicago Reader Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 84% “Fahy doesn’t make a single misstep. Her performance is taut, progressing from first-date butterflies to life-and-death anxiety without so much as a second to catch her breath—let alone ours. ” – Chicago Reader Apr 14, 2025 Full Review A Minecraft Movie (2025) 47% “A Minecraft Movie feigns creativity by hollowing out a name brand and inserting a zombified story that does little more than capitalize on (or cannibalize) the name.” – Chicago Reader Apr 7, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 54% “Death of a Unicorn is part of a string of painfully literal filmmaking. A hollow spectacle masquerading as novel social commentary, it leaves us with almost nothing to think about. I” – Chicago Reader Mar 31, 2025 Full Review Holland (2025) 21% “By the time the climax arrives, it feels like a tired retread of bygone thrillers, leaving audiences feeling that the film’s lens is severely out of focus.” – Chicago Reader Mar 31, 2025 Full Review The Alto Knights (2025) 39% “Though clearly aimed at mob movie fans, The Alto Knights ends up recycling too many of the same familiar stories. ” – Chicago Reader Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% “It’s a repetitive bloodbath without the adrenaline of some action marathons like John Wick. Instead of wondering how much more Nathan Caine can endure, I’m left wondering how much more Novocaine I can stomach.” – Chicago Reader Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Seven Veils (2023) 77% “Instead of sharpening its blades on the operatic chaos radiating from its main character, the film loses its edge, veering into an overwrought territory that ultimately diminishes its finale.” – Chicago Reader Mar 8, 2025 Full Review Last Breath (2025) 80% “Unfortunately, Last Breath squeezes every ounce of emotion from its premise. The suspense of locating Chris and determining his survival is extended to near excess.” – Chicago Reader Mar 8, 2025 Full Review Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2025) 88% “Despite all the repeated gags and such, it’s charming—and more emotionally vulnerable than many of its counterparts.” – Chicago Reader Feb 20, 2025 Full Review The Last Showgirl (2024) 83% “ It stumbles from scene to scene, carried along by vapid, often awkward dialogue. ” – Chicago Reader Jan 10, 2025 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% “This concise, unforgiving film arrives exactly when it’s most needed. At times, it plays mechanically, but it’s undeniably human.” – Chicago Reader Dec 24, 2024 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 84% “It’s fair to say Eggers is juggling a lot, and it’s these influences that pull the film apart at times; it often clumsily balances the absurdity and horror of its predecessors. Yet, it’s the actors who pull together Nosferatu. ” – Chicago Reader Dec 23, 2024 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% “The Brutalist is Corbet’s colossus: it’s a massive American epic that damns the ground we stand on. Corbet achieves this without leaning too heavily on his predecessors, instead forging a myth from the bedrock of this country’s brutal psyche.” – Chicago Reader Dec 23, 2024 Full Review Maria (2024) 75% “What should feel extremely human teeters on caricature. In no way is this Jolie’s fault. Larraín chose a solidly niche subject and appears to have overcorrected.” – Chicago Reader Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% “Yet again, Sean Baker nails it. Anora somehow straddles a fine line as the year’s funniest and most heart-wrenching movie.” – Chicago Reader Nov 2, 2024 Full Review Conclave (2024) 93% “Ralph Fiennes’s best role in recent memory.” – Chicago Reader Nov 2, 2024 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% “The Substance is a horrifically absurd exploration of Hollywood’s obsession with beauty.” – Chicago Reader Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Twisters (2024) 75% “Twisters pales in comparison to its 90s predecessor, but it’s a fun summer blockbuster.” – Chicago Reader Jul 19, 2024 Full Review A Family Affair (2024) 35% “Despite the A-list leads, a poor script and lack of originality will keep A Family Affair from being a hit.” – Chicago Reader Jun 28, 2024 Full Review Kinds of Kindness (2024) 71% “The fables are violently obscure, each stimulating an almost insatiable desire to put together the disparate pieces of these worlds. It is old-school Lanthimos, with stilted scenes and gelastic dialogue, brutally crashing into his heart-dropping punches.” – Chicago Reader Jun 25, 2024 Full Review The Dead Don't Hurt (2023) 86% “Captivating framing drives this lyrical, romantic western.” – Chicago Reader May 29, 2024 Full Review The Idea of You (2024) 81% “The Idea of You is off-key. Each touching or funny moment is dulled down by a story that feels unrehearsed. Performances fall flat, and it feels like the last days of any boy band with infighting.” – Chicago Reader May 7, 2024 Full Review La Chimera (2023) 95% “Alice Rohrwacher’s La Chimera is dreamy and fantastical.” – Chicago Reader Apr 3, 2024 Full Review
