Step Brothers (2008)

“The genius of Step Brothers isn’t merely the reunion of Ferrell and Reilly... Better is the bizarre personality dissonance of the perpetually fighting characters.” –

All Is True (2018)

“...nearly as much time seems to be given to outdoor establishing shots; though the tranquil scenes nicely contrast with the turbulent household, they further hamper a pace that was already slow to begin with.” –

Charlotte Has Fun (2018)

“Shot in black and white and set mostly in a retail environment, the French-Canadian film gives off a Clerks vibe as the trio of protagonists slack off, bitch about pay, and talk about life and love.” –

The Hummingbird Project (2018)
57%
“With the filmmaker's shapeless and dull script, an anticlimactic end was perhaps inevitable. And he directs it in such a bland and inconsequential way that you may wonder if what happened in the film did, in fact, happen.” –

“The problem is that, although the topics themselves are interesting, it's obviously impossible for anyone to go into much depth in a 92-minute film, resulting in generalities that hardly enlighten.” –

Sgt. Will Gardner (2019)

“Homelessness among military veterans is a noble subject for a filmmaker to take on. So it deserves a better vehicle than Sgt. Will Gardner, writer-director Max Martini's clumsy and sometimes downright laughable portrayal of an injured Iraq war vet.” –
