The Parenting (2025) 48% C- “The ostensibly heartfelt scenes where characters apologize for their behavior or stand up for themselves never display an ounce of emotional potency because no one resembles a real person.” – IndieWire Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Chaos: The Manson Murders (2025) 56% B “Maybe it’s a filmmaker’s job to force some coherence onto the chaos. But when you’re dealing with evil that has no easily discernible justification, it’s probably best to accept that the mystery will never satisfy.” – IndieWire Mar 7, 2025 Full Review The Botanist (2025) B- “Humanity’s tender, fraught relationship with the natural world has a storied history on film, but in “The Botanist,” it can sometimes feel like an unearned shortcut to grazing the sublime. ” – IndieWire Feb 18, 2025 Full Review SLY LIVES! (aka The Burden of Black Genius) (2025) 92% C+ “Sly is undoubtedly a Black genius, one who ensured that his artistic descendants could chart their own path, but “Sly Lives!” never really examines what that means in any meaningful sense. Maybe only the music itself can tell that story.” – IndieWire Jan 24, 2025 Full Review The Six Triple Eight (2024) 55% C- “An entire film that focuses on untangling this organizational mess clearly exists, but Perry would much rather lean on trite platitudes that state the obvious again and again, rather than trust the “boring” nuances of the historical record. ” – IndieWire Dec 6, 2024 Full Review Hello, Love, Again (2024) B- “The moments when “Hello, Love, Again” infuses social and political realism into its melodramatic romance are genuinely effective and anytime it falls back on hacky comedy or trite theatrics feels that much more dissatisfying.” – IndieWire Nov 21, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% C “Unfortunately, the film’s action sequences, arguably the biggest audience draw, do little to distract from the lackluster narrative. ” – IndieWire Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024) 100% B “While “Vengeance Most Fowl” retains many of the quaint elements and tried-and-true methods that made Wallace and Gromit a global favorite, it’s also undoubtedly a slicker, glossier project than anything that’s come before. ” – IndieWire Oct 28, 2024 Full Review Without Blood (2024) 31% C “The sincerity of Without Blood can’t be denied, but alas, the road to mediocrity is paved with good intentions.” – IndieWire Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Unstoppable (2024) 76% C “Once you accept Anthony’s extraordinary nature, which is hardly a difficult proposition for any viewer with a beating heart, the film offers nothing more than a passive tour of his on-screen counterpart overcoming corporeal and domestic adversity.” – IndieWire Sep 7, 2024 Full Review One to One: John & Yoko (2024) 89% B+ “Macdonald clearly understands the feeling of information overload... and whenever “One to One” embraces that idea, it becomes a fruitful view into Lennon and Ono’s place within the culture.” – IndieWire Aug 30, 2024 Full Review The Beast Within (2024) 40% C- “There’s no sense of life being lived within the world of the film, which is indicated by a general refusal to shade in any details about the environment or even the characters beyond their scene-by-scene purpose.” – IndieWire Jul 26, 2024 Full Review Sing Sing (2023) 97% B- “In its strongest moments, Greg Kwedar’s film lives up to the real thing by capturing the power of acting for its own sake... In its weakest, it uses acting as a cover for an undercooked, sentimental script.” – IndieWire Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Hacking Hate (2024) 89% C+ “There’s nothing inaccurate about Klose’s thesis, which is fairly airtight and has been well reported on by many others, but his alarmist visual style quickly exhibits diminishing returns.” – IndieWire Jun 11, 2024 Full Review Tuesday (2023) 76% C+ “As much as “Tuesday” strives to be an adult fairy tale about accepting loss, it struggles to be truly effective because, by design, it traffics in an adolescent sandbox.” – IndieWire Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Ernest Cole: Lost and Found (2024) 97% C+ “These affecting anecdotes are only occasionally supported by Peck’s scattered direction, whose big-tent approach to personal and global history often feels slapdash. ” – IndieWire May 20, 2024 Full Review Force of Nature: The Dry 2 (2024) 65% B- “Force of Nature generates just enough mystery never to be boring, but not enough interest to elevate it above its modest trappings.” – IndieWire May 10, 2024 Full Review Back to Black (2024) 35% C- “Everyone involved in the film approaches the late artist with love and respect, but its tawdry instincts and misguided sense of responsibility let her memory down.” – IndieWire Apr 10, 2024 Full Review Drive-Away Dolls (2024) 63% “Ethan Coen’s horny homage to American film history’s many strains of queer comedy highlights the collaborative aspect inherent in his project as a director.” – The Nation Mar 30, 2024 Full Review Much Ado About Dying (2022) 93% C+ “While Much Ado About Dying strives to be a tribute to caretakers and Chambers’ dearly departed uncle, its baggy structure, dictated by David’s declining health, renders the film frustratingly inert. ” – IndieWire Mar 15, 2024 Full Review Cheech & Chong's Last Movie (2024) 83% B- “Any serious comedy fan will probably get something from “Last Movie” even as it overstays its welcome. It’s refreshing that the film never tries to force Cheech and Chong’s comedy to transcend its historical period. ” – IndieWire Mar 13, 2024 Full Review Chinatown (1974) 98% “It's entirely itself, working within and updating the tradition without speaking down to it. ” – IndieWire Mar 8, 2024 Full Review The Space Race (2023) 88% “While the film broadly achieves its aim of correcting a biased historical record by allowing primary historical actors to control their respective narratives, it falters structurally and tonally by adopting too broad a scope of inquiry.” – The Daily Beast Feb 12, 2024 Full Review Old Dads (2023) 27% “Rhetoric and drama are different beasts, and while Burr can construct strawmen and women on stage to knock down in an entertaining way, they become caricatures when embodied by actors on screen.” – The Daily Beast Oct 20, 2023 Full Review Together 99 (2023) 71% B “Anyone with enduring affection for “Together” will be mildly delighted by the myriad throwaway callbacks in “Together 99"...” – IndieWire Sep 11, 2023 Full Review
