Death of a Unicorn (2025)

“Opus or "When-You-Buy-Get-Out-Off-Temu" wastes its potential as a social commentary. Not even Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich can save this sour note of a thriller.” –

“Fueled by nostalgia and nationalism, Captain America: Brave New World is an alienating disgrace that actively disrespects its lead for a directionless, if not the poorest, attempt for the MCU to cling onto its own relevancy.” –
