The Accountant 2 (2025) 78% 3/5 “[T]here are a number of things The Accountant 2 does that raises it above its predecessor — most notably better action scenes and a great chemistry between Affleck and Jon Bernthal — which is enough to make it a solid watch.” – What To Watch Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 98% 4.5/5 “The most recent collaboration between Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler is that rare type of movie — incredibly entertaining, well told, well made and with deeper messages to think about later on. It’s truly fantastic filmmaking.” – What To Watch Apr 18, 2025 Full Review A Working Man (2025) 49% 1.5/5 “This action B-movie fails to meet the grade due to a lackluster script, Statham’s character’s lack of charisma and, worst of all, just being boring.” – What To Watch Mar 27, 2025 Full Review The Alto Knights (2025) 39% 2/5 “De Niro reaffirms why he is considered one of the greats playing two different roles, but it’s not enough to make up for a lackluster script, a boring plot and confusing style choices.” – What To Watch Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% 4/5 “Soderbergh and writer David Koepp, with strong work from Fassbender and Blanchett, make a thrilling spy story just as (if not more) interested in the personal dynamics of its characters than the globe-spanning threat at the center of its plot.” – What To Watch Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Parthenope (2024) 45% 3/5 “Sorrentino and Della Porta collectively create a fascinating lead character, whose search for a greater understanding of life is one I was contently took part in” – What To Watch Feb 7, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% 3/5 “While the script offers a fun concept and alludes to a few larger ideas, the movie reaches its heights because of the work of its ensemble.” – What To Watch Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Flight Risk (2025) 30% 2/5 “It may have been more entertaining to simply raw dog this plane ride than see the thin story, half-baked characters and minimal action that makes this one an outright bore.” – What To Watch Jan 24, 2025 Full Review One of Them Days (2025) 94% 4/5 “One of Them Days is carried by Palmer and SZA, who nail their comedic bits but who are equally good when the time comes for a few emotional moments between the two.” – What To Watch Jan 15, 2025 Full Review Den of Thieves: Pantera (2025) 62% “Gerard Butler and O’Shea Jackson Jr. are better teammates than enemies in the heist sequel that improves on just about all fronts from the original, but still has issues that keep it as a so-so genre effort.” – What To Watch Jan 10, 2025 Full Review The Damned (2024) 91% 3/5 “Palsson’s ability to create and maintain this overall sense of unease throughout while not relying on cheap scares (i.e. jump scares) is what gets me excited about his potential as a filmmaker.” – What To Watch Jan 3, 2025 Full Review The Fire Inside (2024) 93% 3.5/5 “[The] creative team hits all of the right notes to give The Fire Inside a good bit more depth than its peers, resulting in a winning story, but the athletic moments are a bit muted, placing it in the good, just shy of great, tier.” – What To Watch Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 84% 3/5 “I recognize Robert Eggers’ singular talent as a director, but Nosferatu’s highly stylized elements and performances kept me at a distance” – What To Watch Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% 3/5 “I mostly liked it, but it did feel like it was as (if not more) interested in asking questions of the audience as it was in telling its story.” – What To Watch Dec 17, 2024 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% 4/5 “This is not simply an imitation, Chalamet embodies Dylan on the screen.” – What To Watch Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Wicked (2024) 87% 5/5 “Erivo and Grande have created the versions of Elphaba and Glinda for a new generation and carry the movie to incredible heights.” – What To Watch Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 3.5/5 “Gladiator 2 picks up the story of Ridley Scott’s Rome, providing plenty for fans of the original to enjoy but missing some of the majesty that made its predecessor a classic.” – What To Watch Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Here (2024) 37% 1.5/5 “I don't blame Zemeckis for wanting to experiment with format, but that clearly took precedence here. And when you do that the story and performances are bound to suffer.” – What To Watch Nov 7, 2024 Full Review September 5 (2024) 93% 5/5 “From the incredible recreation of the ABC Studio, to the mixture of archival footage, strong cinematography, perfectly placed editing and strong ensemble cast, September 5 grabs you and refuses to let go.” – What To Watch Oct 24, 2024 Full Review Conclave (2024) 93% 3.5/5 “The thing that I walked away most intrigued by is Berger's ability to tackle big ideas about humanity in a digestible, entertaining way.” – What To Watch Oct 23, 2024 Full Review We Live in Time (2024) 79% 4/5 “[Garfield and Pugh's] brilliant chemistry and an honest, if incredibly heightened, script give ample opportunity to get the waterworks flowing.” – What To Watch Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Saturday Night (2024) 78% 3.5/5 “The parts are greater than the sum, but Saturday Night is a strong ensemble piece that is probably Jason Reitman's best movie in some time.” – What To Watch Oct 3, 2024 Full Review Megalopolis (2024) 45% 2.5/5 “[T]he world Coppola creates and the characters he inhabits it with offers no connection for the audience. It's all message and no story, which does not make for the most engaging viewing experience.” – What To Watch Sep 25, 2024 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% 4.5/5 “Writer/director Coralie Fargeat's breakout movie is a gut-twisting, darkly comic take down of female beauty standards and ageism with a wonderfully unhinged Demi Moore performance.” – What To Watch Sep 16, 2024 Full Review My Old Ass (2024) 90% 4/5 “Park should also be commended for crafting such a complete and emotionally satisfying story in 90 minutes, an all too rare feat these days among the bloated runtimes of so many movies.” – What To Watch Sep 12, 2024 Full Review
