Parasite (2019) 99% “Parasite will move you like nothing else. ” – CNET Mar 31, 2023 Full Review Don't Worry Darling (2022) 38% 8/10 “In these times of curated picture-perfection on social media, Olivia Wilde warns us that nothing is as flawless as it looks. Beware of paradise, Don’t Worry Darling advises, especially if the way out of it isn’t clear. Real life is messy and often ugly. ” – Ask Sep 21, 2022 Full Review The Woman King (2022) 94% 9/10 “The Agojie are regular women — though they are highly skilled ones who have endured arduous training. Their bodies are covered in scars. They die, they kill, they ache, they mourn — but they also laugh, dance and love. Gina Prince-Bythewood shows it all.” – Ask Sep 15, 2022 Full Review Bullet Train (2022) 53% 5/10 “That beauty in the film’s design extends to the wardrobe. The characters are dressed in coats, blazers and layers of clothing that they peel off as the night progresses. They appear different — grubbier, more bloodied — as they keep taking garments off. ” – Ask Aug 4, 2022 Full Review The Gray Man (2022) 45% 4/10 “While Civil War or Endgame packed a lot of over-the-top spectacle but still managed the kind of well-rounded story from previous MCU phases, The Gray Man is simply adrenaline, action, chase scenes, hand-to-hand combat and not much glue in the middle.” – Ask Jul 21, 2022 Full Review Where the Crawdads Sing (2022) 34% 6/10 “Even though this movie made me realize the book’s many imperfections — as well as its own — I would probably watch it again. In a way, it reminded me of the 1990s big romantic melodrama movies that don’t get made that often these days, and I was missing. ” – Ask Jul 12, 2022 Full Review Persuasion (2022) 30% 9/10 “One thing to be said about this Persuasion, Anne is not only pining for Wentworth. She’s very much horny for him. She’s nursing her heartbreak by drinking red wine alone and going through the mementos she’s kept of the relationship they shared. ” – Ask Jul 8, 2022 Full Review The Sea Beast (2022) 94% 6/10 “The Sea Beast makes for the perfect watch for the whole family, but it didn’t appeal to this grownup the same way The Mitchells vs. the Machines did. I still learned a few valuable lessons though, like that sometimes you can be a hero and still be wrong. ” – Ask Jul 8, 2022 Full Review Top Gun: Maverick (2022) 96% 8/10 “This cinematic spectacle starts by paying homage to the original movie — with the notes of the “Top Gun Anthem” — and it never stops. If you liked Top Gun, you’ll enjoy Top Gun: Maverick thoroughly. All the ingredients of the original movie are there.” – Ask May 12, 2022 Full Review Ambulance (2022) 68% 6/10 “Jake Gyllenhaal's character has the most out-of-touch yet hilarious reaction after Cam (Eiza González) sprays him with a fire extinguisher. Its cashmere! he complains, upset about his ruined sweater. I did feel for him a bit then. ” – Ask Apr 8, 2022 Full Review The Lost City (2022) 79% 6/10 “Maybe it was because I needed the kind of escapist light action-adventure fare The Lost City provides, but the movie made me laugh. A lot. Like when Beth reminds Loretta how to speak in front of the fans: No grumpy face, big words or academic talk.” – Ask Mar 24, 2022 Full Review The Adam Project (2022) 68% 7/10 “Through Ryan Reynolds and Walker Scobells performances, The Adam Project delves into the idea of how much their 12-year-old version would annoy the hell out of anyone and probably not bring them the best of memories.” – Ask Mar 10, 2022 Full Review Turning Red (2022) 95% 7/10 “Even though the connection between Turning Red and other intimate non-franchise Pixar films is palpable it reminded me of Inside Out (2015) but also Soul (2020) the fact that theres a woman at the helm really shows this time.” – Ask Mar 7, 2022 Full Review The Batman (2022) 85% 7/10 “Zo Kravitz entered the scene, and two minutes into her first sequence I was already thinking: Couldnt this have been The Catwoman instead of The Batman?” – Ask Feb 28, 2022 Full Review The Matrix Resurrections (2021) 63% 8/10 “It was almost eerie to leave the movie theater and be on the same downtown San Francisco streets where the film was shot. I almost wondered if I too was inside of the Matrix. I imagine that's precisely what Lana Wachowski was aiming at.” – Ask Dec 21, 2021 Full Review Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) 93% 4/10 “The best parts of this bloated and uneven two-and-a-half-hour movie are the connections to past Spidey versions. Considering that just in the last 19 years we've had eight live-action Spider-Man features, there's a lot of material to draw from.” – Ask Dec 17, 2021 Full Review Don't Look Up (2021) 56% 8/10 “I feel I would have preferred to watch the fun and light version of this movie the trailer manages to somewhat misleadingly depict.” – Ask Dec 9, 2021 Full Review King Richard (2021) 90% 8/10 “You'll recognize Smith in King Richard but, also, you won't. He spends most of the film dressed in tennis shorts, polo shirts and mid-calf socks. He gained weight, and he has a Louisiana accent so thick that this Spaniard had to pay extra attention.” – Ask Nov 19, 2021 Full Review Belfast (2021) 86% 6/10 “I wonder whether I would have liked Belfast more had Branagh told us what Ma's (Caitríona Balfe) name is and had he centered his story on her.” – Ask Nov 12, 2021 Full Review Eternals (2021) 47% 5/10 “Watching Chloé Zhao's The Rider made me want to learn horseback riding. Nomadland illustrated the reality houseless Americans face and offered a window into the American West. Both intertwine fiction and reality. I knew Eternals was going to be different.” – Ask Oct 27, 2021 Full Review Dune (2021) 83% 8/10 “I'll admit to having spent at least half of the movie wondering whether Timothée Chalamet makes for a credible offspring of Oscar Isaac and Rebecca Ferguson. I still haven't reached a conclusion.” – Ask Oct 21, 2021 Full Review The Last Duel (2021) 85% 8/10 “A lot has changed since the 14th century. Swords aren't used in battles. Clothes are simpler. Hairstyles are less unflattering. Some women have agency and power over their bodies and will. The Last Duel makes a point about everything that hasn't changed.” – Ask Oct 15, 2021 Full Review No Time to Die (2021) 83% 7/10 “Where No Time to Die stands out the most is in its treatment of women. These are no Bond girls but women with agency. Ana de Armas plays Paloma, a CIA agent who helps Bond. But even if there's chemistry between them, Paloma is immune to Bond's charms.” – Ask Oct 8, 2021 Full Review The Many Saints of Newark (2021) 72% 6/10 “With its inclusion of a scene where the gang eats at Satriale's, a generous number of theatrical "Oohs!", and Tony's first therapy session with a college counselor who asks him about his mom, the movie is playing constant homage to the show.” – Ask Sep 30, 2021 Full Review The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021) 67% 8/10 “Jessica Chastain does a lot of interpretative heavy-lifting by depicting this woman throughout her life and capturing her magnetism no matter the hairstyle, fashion choice or makeup usage.” – Ask Sep 17, 2021 Full Review
