Poor Things (2023) 93% “... an ecstatically subversive fantasy that imagines how an adult woman might relate to the world if she had somehow sidestepped years of social indoctrination.” – KSQD Community Radio Jan 18, 2024 Full Review Dream Scenario (2023) 91% “Dream Scenario takes a cautionary look at celebrity and cancel culture as it traces the fantastical plight of a nondescript, bespectacled, bald and bearded biology professor named Paul, hilariously brought to life by Nicolas Cage.” – KSQD Community Radio Dec 7, 2023 Full Review Stop Making Sense (1984) 100% “Stop Making Sense remains one of the most supremely satisfying concert movies ever made.” – KSQD Community Radio Oct 5, 2023 Full Review Barbie (2023) 88% “Barbie, the movie, might make a few missteps as a feminist polemic, but it largely succeeds as a gleefully subversive look at the dehumanizing effects of inequality and how a simple idea can change the world.” – KSQD Community Radio Aug 23, 2023 Full Review Enemy (2013) 73% “Enemy is brimming with non-commercial bravado that borders on being confessional. Just as Hitchcock made manifest his voyeuristic and controlling proclivities, Villeneuve exposes his own conflicted feelings towards women and monogamy.” – KSQD Community Radio Aug 16, 2023 Full Review Oppenheimer (2023) 93% “Nolan refrains from passing judgment on Oppenheimer – leaving that to us, if we so choose – suggesting instead that it’s within our inherently contradictory human nature to create as well as destroy.” – KSQD Community Radio Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Asteroid City (2023) 76% “There’s been an evolution to Anderson’s filmmaking, and with Asteroid City, his inimitable directorial style has reached a whole new level of precision engineering.” – KSQD Community Radio Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Master Gardener (2022) 71% “By turning subtext into text, Schrader himself becomes the subtext, and we become acutely aware that below the surface of Master Gardener is a master puppeteer pulling the strings.” – KSQD Community Radio Jul 26, 2023 Full Review BlackBerry (2023) 97% “Snappy editing, sharp dialog, and a judicious rock soundtrack create an exciting portrait of an insanely successful high-tech startup – until, of course, fortunes turn.” – KSQD Community Radio Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Dune (2021) 83% “The talented cast is in service of spectacle, doing little more than providing the expositional sutures that connect one elaborate set piece to the next.” – KSQD Community Radio Jul 26, 2023 Full Review EO (2022) 96% “Like a poem, both EO the movie and EO the donkey have their own ineffable language.” – KSQD Community Radio Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Empire of Light (2022) 45% “As an exploration of a May-December romance, an unstable psyche, racism, or movie magic, Empire of Light sputters along the same well-worn road that far better films have traveled before.” – KSQD Community Radio Jul 26, 2023 Full Review The Whale (2022) 64% “A morbidly obese man racked with self-loathing makes a desperate eleventh-hour attempt to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter in the overstuffed but worthwhile drama, The Whale.” – KSQD Community Radio Jul 26, 2023 Full Review A Love Song (2022) 95% “Not unlike its two central characters, A Love Song speaks softly and honestly and without hyperbolic drama, making this little slice of senior romance a thought-provoking delight.” – KSQD Community Radio Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) 94% “An omnipotent being is threatening the multiverse. Who ya gonna call? Spiderman? Dr. Strange? How about a middle-aged Asian-American woman failing as a wife and mother?” – KSQD Community Radio Jul 26, 2023 Full Review To Leslie (2022) 93% “Here’s hoping Andrea Riseborough’s controversial but well deserved Oscar nod inspires lovers of mature cinema to seek it out.” – KSQD Community Radio Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Living (2022) 96% “Artistic flourishes, excellent acting, and solid craftsmanship notwithstanding, Living is unlikely to displace Ikiru within the pantheon of essential viewing, but hopefully it will impart the same timeless lessons to a new generation.” – KSQD Community Radio Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Don't Look Up (2021) 56% “On par with a mediocre SNL sketch.” – KSQD Community Radio Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood (2022) 91% “The warm humor of Apollo 10 ½ springs organically from the absurdities of the time. ” – KSQD Community Radio Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Triangle of Sadness (2022) 72% “The surprising turn of events in Triangle of Sadness leads to an inevitable conclusion; power is the ultimate form of currency, and even the lowliest of dictators will do whatever it takes to hang onto it.” – KSQD Community Radio Jul 26, 2023 Full Review The Fabelmans (2022) 92% “With The Fabelmans, Spielberg makes the case that retinal impressions aren’t the only thing that persist; movies can forever change who we are and how we see one another.” – KSQD Community Radio Jul 26, 2023 Full Review The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) 96% “The Banshees of Inisherin, as the title implies, is about death, both literal and figurative, but it’s the sad demise of a friendship that forms the bedrock of this brilliant, often poignant, frequently funny Irish fable.” – KSQD Community Radio Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Tár (2022) 91% “Todd Field uses smart scriptwriting and the extraordinary acting skills of Cate Blanchett to conduct a virtual symphony of cinema that resonates long after the closing credits.” – KSQD Community Radio Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Us (2019) 93% “Peele crafts a story that sucks us into a waking nightmare, and along the way it touches on such weighty themes such as economic disparity, nature vs. nurture, and our propensity for self-destruction.” – KSQD Community Radio Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Collective (2019) 99% “Watching Collective is not unlike reading a Michael Crichton page-turner.” – KSQD Community Radio Jul 26, 2023 Full Review
