The Shrouds (2024) 75% “A film that will not only go down as one of the very best films of this year but deserves to ranked as one of the boldest, bravest and best works of Cronenberg’s entire career.” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Apr 24, 2025 Full Review On Swift Horses (2024) 52% “The big problem is that Bryce Kass’s screenplay is trying to juggle so many storylines and characters in just under two hours that very little of it winds up resonating in any particular way. ” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Pink Floyd at Pompeii (1972) “Pink Floyd at Pompeii: MCMLXXII gives you a chance to once again experience one of the quirkier points in their long career in the way that it was truly meant to be seen and heard.” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Cheech & Chong's Last Movie (2024) 83% “It makes for a reasonably entertaining look back at their careers while at the same time making a convincing case for their inclusion in the comedy pantheon” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Apr 23, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (2025) 88% “For all the humor, it is the humanity on display throughout The Wedding Banquet that makes it both a lovely movie in its own right and one of the few remakes in recent years to actually be worth a damn.” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 98% “While everything on display does not quite add up—hardly a sin considering the huge number of ingredients that Coogler has tossed into the mix—the stuff that does work is so impressive that you are willing to forgive the stuff that doesn’t” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Invention (2024) 94% “Invention is the kind of film that some will find absolutely fascinating and others will write off as a tedious and pointless slog—I find myself siding with the former in this regard.” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Apr 18, 2025 Full Review The Ugly Stepsister (2025) 96% “As much as the extremes of The Ugly Stepsister may compel you to look away from the screen, Myren’s performance is enough to keep you turning back to it.” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Neil Young: Coastal (2025) 79% 1.5/4 “The only thing that “Coastal” manages to accomplish is something that I would have usually thought impossible—it makes him come across as a bore.” – RogerEbert.com Apr 17, 2025 Full Review The King of Kings (2025) 64% “The results, to put it mildly, are a mess and even if you somehow factor out the truly inexplicable conceit of having Charles Dickens and his kid serve as our tour guides, it still never gels into something that is either entertaining or informative. ” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Gunslingers (2025) 5% “Alas, not even Cage’s deeply eccentric efforts are enough to make much of anything out of this painfully derivative and sloppily executed genre exercise ” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Apr 10, 2025 Full Review The Amateur (2025) 61% “The whole thing has the plodding and listless feel of a busted pilot for a 온라인카지노추천 show that you will never quite get around to watching and never quite feel as if you are missing out on by not doing so.” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 84% “Drop has an undeniable grabber of a premise, but it doesn’t really know what to do with it and just becomes progressively sillier as it goes on to the point where it threatens to make Trap seem almost plausible and airtight by comparison.” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Wake Up (2023) 71% “While there is certainly carnage aplenty throughout, all of the characters are so colorless and unpleasant that few viewers will find themselves caring at all as they get bumped off in increasingly gruesome ways. ” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Apr 3, 2025 Full Review The Luckiest Man in America (2024) 66% “However, when the narrative shifts into more overtly surrealistic areas as Larson’s paranoia begins to take hold, the film begins to lose both its focus and the tension that it had been building up.” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Apr 3, 2025 Full Review The Friend (2024) 84% “That said, if you are a dog lover—especially in regards to Great Danes—The Friend will no doubt make you say “Awwwww” throughout. For everyone else, though, it will doubtlessly come across as an example of Good Dog, Meh Movie” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Apr 3, 2025 Full Review Freaky Tales (2024) 74% “Unless you live within the 510 area code, I cannot imagine most viewers having the patience or energy to stick with Freaky Tales to the end” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Apr 3, 2025 Full Review The Woman in the Yard (2025) 44% 2/4 “A choppy and meandering narrative that not even an admittedly committed lead performance by Danielle Deadwyler can help save.” – RogerEbert.com Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Thank You Very Much (2023) 90% “For those unfamiliar with Kaufman and his still-astonishing and hilarious legacy, this is a pretty good introduction to both but for longtime fans, it doesn’t really bring that much that is new to make it anything close to the final word on the subject.” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Mar 27, 2025 Full Review The Penguin Lessons (2024) 80% “This is at least the third time that a potentially prickly true-life story has been reworked into a heartwarming comedy-drama vehicle for Steve Coogan (following Philomena and The Lost King) but this one is the most off-putting of the bunch by far. ” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 54% “It just lacks a much-needed final burst of inspiration that might have transformed it from a good idea into a good movie.” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Mar 25, 2025 Full Review O'Dessa (2025) 38% “It feels as if [Jasper] deliberately set out to make the contemporary equivalent of the notoriously garish futuristic rock musical The Apple and has unfortunately succeeded in that dubious task.” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Locked (2025) 65% “Locked is a cynical and ultimately tedious work that takes its undeniably grabby premise and then demonstrates absolutely no idea of how to make it work, a crime unforgivable to earn the filmmakers a ride in their vehicle’s vehicle for themselves” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Eephus (2024) 100% “The ensemble cast is perfect and the fact that it manages to include both legendary documentarian Frederick Wiseman and the famously oddball 70s-era pitcher Bill “Spaceman” Lee should give some idea as to the film’s offbeat charms.” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Ash (2025) 74% “Ash is a dreary, dull-witted work of pure tedium whose only scientific breakthrough turns out to be violating the time-space continuum by taking a 95-minute run time and making it seem at least three times as long” – Auteurist Class (Substack) Mar 20, 2025 Full Review
