Queen of the Ring (2024) 73% 3/5 “I took more from Avildsen’s commitment to his subject than I would from watching 10 big-budget celebrity biopics combined. ” – San Diego Reader Mar 26, 2025 Full Review You Resemble Me (2021) 93% 3.5/5 “It’s not often that Human Rights Watch sends a narrative feature our way, but when they do it’s a moment worth cherishing.” – San Diego Reader Jun 6, 2022 Full Review Luzzu (2021) 98% 5/5 “The film goes exactly where one doesn't expect.” – San Diego Reader Dec 2, 2021 Full Review The Old Ways (2021) 98% 2/5 “It eventually picks up, but not before dragging us through a number of addiction tropes.” – San Diego Reader Nov 3, 2021 Full Review The Conservation Game (2021) “Harrison's approach to getting answers would make the late Mike Wallace proud.” – San Diego Reader Aug 12, 2021 Full Review The Marksman (2021) 38% 3/5 “Eastwood's former 1st AD-turned-director Robert Lorenz leads with an uncluttered visual style, a respect for his characters framed in juxtaposition with the land that would make his former boss proud.” – San Diego Reader May 6, 2021 Full Review Ordinary Love (2019) 93% “A veritable primer on how to come through a crisis without being crushed under the weight of sentimentality. In Hollywood terms, there is nothing ordinary about this love story.” – San Diego Reader Feb 20, 2021 Full Review The Swerve (2018) 96% 3/5 “A relentlessly unshakable albeit unpleasant ride, particularly when filmmaker Dean Kapsalis slaloms around audience expectation, something he skillfully accomplishes for the first two-thirds of the picture.” – San Diego Reader Oct 27, 2020 Full Review Belly of the Beast (2020) 100% 3/5 “Inside the belly of documentarian Erika Cohn's Beast lurks a monstrosity more appalling than horror fiction.” – San Diego Reader Sep 22, 2020 Full Review Skin: A History of Nudity in the Movies (2020) 85% 3/5 “In closing, one must applaud the filmmakers for their wisdom in including the single most important full frontal romp committed to film in the past 20 years: Ken Davitian's nude wrestling match with Sacha Baron Cohen in Borat.” – San Diego Reader Sep 1, 2020 Full Review The Beach House (2019) 81% 4/5 “The film offers no explanations; the horror lies just out of sight, somewhere below the widespread horizon line.” – San Diego Reader Jul 7, 2020 Full Review Rewind (2019) 100% 4/5 “Unquestionably difficult to watch - wait until you learn details of Uncle Harold's "punishment" - Neulinger's heroic act of bravery will hopefully encourage and inspire others to come forward.” – San Diego Reader Jun 26, 2020 Full Review Working Man (2019) 93% 3/5 “First-time director Robert Jury's Working Man finds suspense amidst the humdrum, and love among the rubble of a marriage put on hold.” – San Diego Reader Jun 16, 2020 Full Review Driveways (2019) 99% 3/5 “This is one of those quiet gems where we get dropped into the lives of a handful of characters at what turns out to be a crucial turning point in all their lives.” – San Diego Reader May 14, 2020 Full Review GBF (2013) 80% 2/4 “Director Darren Stein's frequently on-target satire had me laughing enough to keep it interesting.” – San Diego Reader May 8, 2020 Full Review Hansel & Gretel Get Baked (2013) 83% 2/5 “The gore gets to be a tad gratuitous, but for the most part [Duane] Journey has a ball ripping into genre conventions.” – San Diego Reader Apr 30, 2020 Full Review Buffaloed (2019) 80% 2/5 “This low rent She-Wolf of Wall Street is not without its charms - it's hard not to find some room in one's heart for a film that works so hard to restore the word "jagoff" to popular usage.” – San Diego Reader Feb 14, 2020 Full Review The Traitor (2019) 86% 4/5 “Show me a classic cosa nostra saga that doesn't affirm the importance of family and... well, I'll show you Marco Bellocchio's The Traitor, everything one hoped The Irishman would be but wasn't.” – San Diego Reader Feb 14, 2020 Full Review The Assistant (2019) 93% 3/5 “Green, the first filmmaker to give narrative voice to this subject, posits her day in the life of a witness to workplace gangrene as a grueling example of cinema as frustration.” – San Diego Reader Feb 14, 2020 Full Review Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words (2020) 35% 1/5 “One of the most controversial political subjects of his generation is thus afforded an unduly sympathetic portrait - but how else would Pack have been able to get Thomas to sit still long enough for the interview portion of our program?” – San Diego Reader Feb 1, 2020 Full Review The Last Full Measure (2019) 62% 2/5 “Not bad for a regulation military movie, but I must confess to a wandering attention span; how else could I notice the cigarette that Jackson removes from the pack of Marlboros is an American Spirit?” – San Diego Reader Feb 1, 2020 Full Review The Gentlemen (2019) 75% “Telegraphing dialogue, Tarantino-speak tributes, and a third act plot logjam are tantamount to bringing ants to the picnic, but there's enough repellent on board so as not to bother or distract too much.” – San Diego Reader Feb 1, 2020 Full Review Cold Case Hammarskjöld (2019) 83% 3/5 “In his own way, the ever-present director is as much a scene-hogger as Joaquin Phoenix with one glaring difference: Brügger's mercenaries are the real-deal, not heavy-handed, makeup-streaked clowns with mommy and daddy issues.” – San Diego Reader Jan 29, 2020 Full Review 63 Up (2019) 98% 5/5 “At first glance, 21 Up played as somewhat of a novelty. That was over forty years ago. Today, it stands as one of cinema's greatest achievements, a use of the medium that's at once blatantly logical and profoundly affecting.” – San Diego Reader Jan 29, 2020 Full Review The Irishman (2019) 95% 3/5 “It didn't take a genius to see that television was finally poised to win the war against movies. I just didn't expect my teacher to be leading the charge against theatrical exhibition.” – San Diego Reader Jan 29, 2020 Full Review
