Cats (2019) 19% 4.5/5 “I can say with all sincerity that upon finally meeting Cats face to face, somewhere past the introduction of the wayfaring Grizabella and the sage Old Deuteronomy, I was dazzled.” – Nerdist Dec 30, 2019 Full Review Hustlers (2019) 88% 4/5 “Among all the fun, it's the surprising sweetness of Hustlers that stands out to me.” – Nerdist Sep 12, 2019 Full Review The Lion King (2019) 51% 2.5/5 “With only a select few narrative deviations from the original... and more than the lion's share of exact duplication of old scenes, Disney's latest remake doesn't give you much of a choice but to let your mind return to memories of the original.” – Nerdist Jul 11, 2019 Full Review Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) 91% 4.5/5 “Far from Home offers an empathetic continuation of Peter's establishment in his first solo outing as a regular kid who wants to be a hero.” – Nerdist Jun 27, 2019 Full Review Toy Story 4 (2019) 97% “Toy Story 4 asks us to let it go.” – Nerdist Jun 14, 2019 Full Review Rocketman (2019) 89% “In its delight to bounce off the wall is where we find Rocketman's charm, intellect, and warmth.” – Nerdist May 31, 2019 Full Review Dumbo (2019) 46% 2.5/5 “It's never quite sure how sad or happy it must be, nor how lifelike or cartoonish, nor how beholden to or independent from its forebear.” – Nerdist Mar 26, 2019 Full Review The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part (2019) 84% 3.5/5 “The LEGO Movie 2 builds a pretty shaky tower... But it keeps the laughs in place, and really, that's more than likely what we're all coming back for.” – Nerdist Feb 6, 2019 Full Review The Magic Life of V (2019) 73% 3.5/5 “Another remarkable feature of The Magic Life of V is that it isn't hellbent on solving its main character's problems.” – Nerdist Jan 29, 2019 Full Review Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) 93% “The treat of young, pre-stammers Jeff Goldblum should be enough to comfort you through the movie's darkest chapters.” – Nerdist Oct 31, 2018 Full Review Solaris (1972) 93% “A cerebral and unsettling milestone that you should no doubt mark off your cinematic bucket list sometime.” – Nerdist Oct 31, 2018 Full Review Thelma (2017) 92% “Thelma's central love story doles out plenty of instances of relief.” – Nerdist Oct 31, 2018 Full Review The 'Burbs (1989) 56% “Sure, Carrie Fisher deserved a better role, but let's be honest-Carrie Fisher deserved a better planet.” – Nerdist Oct 31, 2018 Full Review High Spirits (1988) 31% “High Spirits is cheesy, slapdash, and not exactly up to snuff to today's standards of gender politics, but Halloween-appropriate nonetheless.” – Nerdist Oct 31, 2018 Full Review mother! (2017) 68% “It may well test your patience, but it never quite leaves your mind after viewing.” – Nerdist Oct 31, 2018 Full Review Personal Shopper (2016) 81% “It'll raise the hairs on your arm for sure, but its strong tethers to familiar reality will help to keep from sending you into an all-out-panic.” – Nerdist Oct 31, 2018 Full Review Love, Simon (2018) 92% “Love, Simon takes this mission to a new neighborhood, aiming to occupy a space so long understood, from both sides of the equation, to have no room for queer stories.” – Thrillist Jun 28, 2018 Full Review Incredibles 2 (2018) 93% 3/5 “Incredibles 2 reminds its viewers Helen Parr is cool, brilliant, unflappable-not just super, but exceptional. As such, it's a shame the story surrounding her is anything but.” – Nerdist Jun 14, 2018 Full Review Ocean's 8 (2018) 69% 3.5/5 “Ocean's 8 is less an overarching story than a collection of small but satisfying sensory explosions.” – Nerdist Jun 7, 2018 Full Review Blockers (2018) 84% 3/5 “[Blockers] feels like a surprising roll of the dice in the present year, but its regular inclinations toward something far sweeter and sharper is what makes the film worth sitting through.” – Nerdist Apr 6, 2018 Full Review Unsane (2018) 80% 3.5/5 “Unsane may not be as vibrant or formally impressive as Logan Lucky, but it's all the more invigorated by the passions that put this filmmaker on our radar in the first place.” – Nerdist Mar 23, 2018 Full Review Isle of Dogs (2018) 90% 3.5/5 “Unable to find the magic line between beauty and temperament or irony and earnestness, the scale tips away from humanity-and dogmanity-and ends up lacking the Wes Anderson heart that we're likewise puzzled by and endlessly yearning for.” – Nerdist Feb 15, 2018 Full Review Paddington 2 (2017) 99% 5/5 “I don't know exactly what I saw in Paddington 2, or why it struck me with such wonder when the little bear slapped a glob of vermilion jam on the glistening noggin of an ill-tempered patron. All I know is that it took me somewhere.” – Nerdist Jan 12, 2018 Full Review 47 Meters Down (2017) 53% 3/5 “The horrors we get from 47 Meters Down are admirably raw.” – Nerdist Dec 27, 2017 Full Review The Greatest Showman (2017) 56% 3.5/5 “Thus, we're left with a film that claims greatness, but has nothing great to show for itself. And yet, mathematics be damned, I'm hesitant to submit to the fact that The Greatest Showman isn't, in fact, great.” – Nerdist Dec 22, 2017 Full Review
