The Lost City (2022) 79% “Bullock and Tatum have chemistry plus Radcliffe doesn't overplay the villain. ” – Featuring Film Mar 30, 2022 Full Review The Worst Person in the World (2021) 96% “Foremost, Renate Reinsve as Julie captivates. Her emotions run the gamut which Reinsve handles with aplomb. Her malleable face, natural beauty never becomes tedious. An accomplishment in a movie which runs over two hours.” – Featuring Film Feb 27, 2022 Full Review My Best Part (2020) 87% “ In his directorial debut, Maury demonstrates he has talent that he should continue to explore. ” – Featuring Film Feb 21, 2022 Full Review Death on the Nile (2022) 62% “Despite reservations, Branagh, his cast and crew give us much to admire in Death on the Nile--a much-needed escape to another time, another world.” – Featuring Film Feb 13, 2022 Full Review The Last Bus (2021) 50% “Director Gillies MacKinnon's sensitivity toward the material becomes apparent from the start, but the inertia of the first third of the movie soon sputters and loses momentum.” – Featuring Film Feb 11, 2022 Full Review Blues on Beale (2020) “For those with no familiarity or a superficial appreciation for the Blues may enjoy this documentary. In essence however, Blues on Beale Street demonstrates how many award ceremonies have lost their original purpose.” – Featuring Film Feb 10, 2022 Full Review Grey's Inbetween (2009) “The actress, Natasha Bain, balances Jane's torment and periods of joy with ease. To carry a movie as well as insert her commentary without droning on, requires talent. Bain has that. The viewer wants her life to matter, for Jane to find her way. ” – Featuring Film Feb 3, 2022 Full Review Rifkin's Festival (2020) 41% “Seeing Mort revel in the beauty that surrounds him--the San Sebastián vistas are breathtaking--appreciate life, confront Death ... ,yet allow la dolce vita or buena vida, to touch his heart, warrants investing your time in Rifkin's Festival.” – Featuring Film Jan 22, 2022 Full Review Drive My Car (2021) 97% “Much of Drive My Car comprises memorable scenes. Curiosity may be reason enough to see this award-winning film--at home. Be prepared, nevertheless, to fast forward (if watch on DVD or Blu-Ray) or get a snack from the kitchen.” – Featuring Film Jan 16, 2022 Full Review Licorice Pizza (2021) 90% “Licorice Pizza features some sweet confections which elicit smiles and an occasional laugh, but the movie turns sour when it tries too hard.” – Featuring Film Dec 28, 2021 Full Review Nightmare Alley (2021) 80% “What rises to the top of this borderline horror fable entails nuanced performances by the cast ... And, the brilliant shot selections by del Toro and his Director of Photography Dan Lausten who demonstrate their mastery of film technique.” – Featuring Film Dec 19, 2021 Full Review West Side Story (2021) 91% “The young leads shine with gorgeous, natural voices, palpable chemistry and fine performances.” – Featuring Film Dec 10, 2021 Full Review Joy Womack: The White Swan (2021) 100% “Does her obsessiveness result in Womack achieving her dream? The reader will have to see this intriguing portrayal of this young woman who risks it all.” – Featuring Film Dec 9, 2021 Full Review The Hating Game (2021) 69% “The two attractive leads, Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell, keep the suspense going. They also have very good comedic timing. Chemistry in a rom-com must be palpable for the story to have any entertainment value--it does.” – Featuring Film Dec 6, 2021 Full Review Belfast (2021) 86% “At least, that's how we see him [Kenneth Branagh] through an extraordinary performance by 11-year-old Jude Hill as Buddy in Branagh's most personal story, Belfast (2021).” – Featuring Film Nov 25, 2021 Full Review House of Gucci (2021) 62% “What a firebrand Lady Gaga embodies in this movie. Surrounded by renowned actors, she commands our focus. Even as the plot slows to a crawl, when she appears, the sparks fly.” – Featuring Film Nov 24, 2021 Full Review Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021) 63% “Unfortunate that what had been a lovable comedy for adults has now become a dramedy for kids.” – Featuring Film Nov 19, 2021 Full Review Beans (2020) 91% “Beans underscores the continuing fight to protect indigenous land, native culture and tradition. One cannot help but be moved by this powerful story.” – Featuring Film Nov 14, 2021 Full Review Respect (2021) 68% “All in all, Respect finds its heart when Jennifer Hudson channels the riveting artistry of the Queen of Soul. The actress reminds us how a great singer can shake our emotional foundation and lift the spirit.” – Featuring Film Nov 13, 2021 Full Review The Marksman (2021) 38% “Just to see the ageless, though grizzled star on the screen, as large as the Arizona desert invites viewing. leaves an impression because its star rises above the ordinary.” – Featuring Film Nov 8, 2021 Full Review Spencer (2021) 83% “What works comprises Kristen Stewart's striking performance as the beleaguered Princess. Her mannerisms, voice, visible pain intermix; it's difficult to look away from her even when particular scenes beg the viewer to do so.” – Featuring Film Nov 6, 2021 Full Review Soulmates (2021) 17% “But the movie belongs on the Hallmark Channel, not on the big screen. The cliched dialogue, formulaic set-up and resolution, as well as the largely underwhelming performances diminish the possibility for a more substantial story.” – Featuring Film Nov 5, 2021 Full Review Red Heaven (2020) 100% “As an examination of human nature Red Heaven entertains. You don't have to be a scientist to appreciate the day-to-day complexities of the social experiment. Of course, those who enjoy anything science-oriented may glean more from this film.” – Featuring Film Nov 4, 2021 Full Review Sunken Roads: Three Generations After D-Day (2019) 80% “Take a moment to watch, listen to Sunken Roads. These brave men's stories, even in death, should never be silenced.” – Featuring Film Nov 2, 2021 Full Review The French Dispatch (2021) 75% “Wes Anderson accomplishes such richness of word as well as exquisite, well-crafted scenery, two of his hallmarks, that some viewers may be overwhelmed. The details beg the viewer to see the film again, to see the inevitable missed elements.” – Featuring Film Nov 1, 2021 Full Review
