Sinners (2025)
98%
3.5/4
“Sinners is a crowd-pleasing historical romp; horrifying yet funny, haunted by the past but not beholden to it. It absolutely killed with my audience. I imagine it’ll kill with yours, too.” –

Los Frikis (2024)

3.5/4
“Los Frikis is a startling portrait of a world not too far from our own in distance or time that nevertheless feels a universe away, as well as a stirring reminder of the power art holds to captivate our souls.” –

“There isn’t a visceral sequence in the whole picture, which is surprising given that the Russos made Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” –

Mickey 17 (2025)
77%
2/4
“The story is soggy, the action almost nonexistent, the humor equally sparse and not nearly absurd enough to work, and, worst of all, the entire enterprise is just kind of dull.” –

“A wholly original slice of genre fare with gripping, gutsy performances [and] a number of shocks that always feel earned and never feel cheap.” –

Better Man (2024)
88%
2.5/4
“So I can’t really tell you if Better Man succeeds as a musical biopic since I don’t really care about the music or the musician involved. I can tell you that it kinda-sorta succeeds as a deranged vision of celebrity excess.” –

The Brutalist (2024)
93%
2.5/4
“The first half of the film is a near masterpiece ... the second half, though still occasionally captivating, makes the dire mistake of taking everything from the first half of the film and literalizing it in a way that renders all the subtext text.” –

Nosferatu (2024)

3.5/4
“Some of the best performances of the year. Nicholas Hoult shines as Harding and Skarsgård is delightfully grotesque, but the two standouts, to my mind, are Dafoe as von Franz and Depp as Ellen.” –

A Complete Unknown (2024)

3/4
“A Complete Unknown hits all the right notes, though it feels more competent than transcendent at least partly because, as the title acknowledges, Dylan himself is almost unknowable.” –

Wicked (2024)
87%
2/4
“I did not care much for Wicked: Part One—I’m desperately tired of movies being one half of one movie, particularly when said movie has a run time of 160 minutes—but Ariana Grande delivers one of the best performances of the year as Glinda.” –
