A Rainy Day in New York (2019)
47%
“If "A Rainy Day in New York" aspires to be a situation comedy, the situations lack any comical element. If it intends to be a romantic comedy, the blend of the comic and the romantic seems forced and lacks any stable basis in the script.” –

After the Wedding (2019)
45%
“This is the second time we've watched this cinematic wedding and followed its aftermath, and if Freundlich's film conveys a message of any sort, it's that twice is sometimes once too many.” –

“It's not a disgrace compared to the series, but it doesn't empower the television version or add anything to it. It's superfluous.” –

Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019)
54%
“[The film] is not directed very skillfully. One problem is that Berlinger uses too many songs on the soundtrack, to represent the period of the narrative. Still, the film works as a kind of existential allegory centering on a monster who exudes charisma.” –

Green Book (2018)

“The occupation with racism in 1960s America is translated in the movie into simplistic, sentimental kitsch, which creates for present-day America a reactionary white fantasy.” –

The Silent Revolution (2018)
90%
“What is the source of the romanticization and nostalgia? ...It is a longing that is especially evident in mainstream films like "The Silent Revolution," for simpler days, when it was possible to distinguish between the good guys and the bad guys.” –

Transit (2018)

“What Petzold does in "Transit" is one of the most radical actions in the history of the link between cinema and memory of the war and the Holocaust; it relates to the connection and the confrontation between time and place.” –

BlacKkKlansman (2018)

“[BlacKkKlansman] contains both comic aspects and references to buddy movies, but its power derives from the way they are interwoven with a broad sweep of thematic and emotional elements Lee introduces, for the most part successfully.” –

Frances Ha (2012)
92%
“Part of the success of "Frances Ha" is due to Greta Gerwig's portrayal of Frances. Despite an occasional lapse into mannerisms...her performance is precise, and some kind of inner light shines through her occasionally clumsy physical presence.” –

American Sniper (2014)

“Because of the way Eastwood crafts his hero and because of that hero's place in the overall work, the result, while nationalistic, does not romanticize patriotism. I can't remember another American movie that managed to avoid doing that so successfully.” –
