Medusa (2021)
84%
8/10
“Medusa shines when it focuses on the repression of women’s feelings. While on the surface, it looks like these girls enjoy spreading the word of God, deep down, there’s anger bubbling inside of them.” –

The Hating Game (2021)
69%
8/10
“Peter Hutchings's The Hating Game, adapted from Sally Thorne's eponymous novel, is filled to the brim with fluffy flirtation and enough sexual tension to cut through it with a knife.” –

9/10
“A Love Song says so much with so few words. Walker-Silverman crafts a film that is both poignant and hopeful about the process of healing from grief.” –

C'mon C'mon (2021)
94%
8/10
“C'mon C'mon is empathetic and emotional but never emotionally manipulative. Mills crafts a poignant drama that lets the audience know that the kids aren't alright.” –

False Positive (2021)
46%
4/10
“False Positive isn't the first failed pregnancy horror film, nor will it be the last. But in 2021, I think it's appropriate to ask for stories that dig deeper into motherhood rather than using hysterics (or "mommy brain") as the crutch of the film.” –

9/10
“With the help of a veteran ensemble and excellent technical work, The Father is a master-class on accurately portraying this difficult disease.” –

9/10
“Raya's storyline is beat-for-beat, a traditional Disney story, but its nuances are what make it stand out.” –

55%
2/10
“With a lifeless cast and an even more lifeless script, A Nightmare Wakes is a bad dream you'll wish to wake up from.” –

4/10
“Fennell doesn't beat around the bush in pointing out just how not nice these "nice guys" are, but her message gets lost in translation.” –

We Are Little Zombies (2019)
93%
9/10
“Nagahisa's eclectic debut doesn't talk down to these kids at all; it lets them approach grief the way they want to-whether it's through starting a band or stealing a garbage truck.” –

EMMA. (2020)
86%
9/10
“De Wilde and Catton work together to recreate a classic story that focuses not only on the romance but also on class relations that these typical narratives tend to avoid.” –

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)
79%
8/10
“Instead of focusing on the toxic masculinity of male superheroes, Birds of Prey allows women to be in the spotlight without the shackle a male presence.” –

In Fabric (2018)
92%
6/10
“This could have been an effective anthology series, but instead, the film is reduced to two different stories that don't have enough time to flesh themselves out.” –

Hustlers (2019)
88%
9/10
“In the hands of the wrong director, Hustlers could have turned gratuitous and exploitative. However, Scafaria handles it with a dynamic female gaze that seeks to celebrate women's bodies instead of sexualizing them.” –

Child's Play (2019)
64%
7/10
“[Tyler Burton] Smith and director Lars Klevberg keep Mancini's jabs at capitalism a prominent theme of the film, but they fail to capture what made the original franchise stand out in the first place: Chucky.” –
