Neal Brennan: 3 Mics (2017) 100% EDIT “Most comedians excel at just one style of comedy. Neal Brennan aces three.” – TheWrap Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Jim Gaffigan: Cinco (2017) 83% EDIT “After establishing a niche as yet another father figure, Jim Gaffigan now has as many stand-up specials as children... But you might grow tired of his clean comedy around minute 9 of his bit about the seasons.” – TheWrap Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Mike Birbiglia: Thank God for Jokes (2017) 100% EDIT “No one is better at constructing hilarious, personal, soul-searching monologues of insecurity and Catholic guilt than Mike Birbiglia.” – TheWrap Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Jim Norton: Mouthful Of Shame (2017) EDIT “Jim Norton has made an art form of cringe-worthy, dirtbag humor.” – TheWrap Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Jo Koy: Live From Seattle (2017) EDIT “Gender observations may not be groundbreaking, but Jo Koy is plenty animated enough to make it funny.” – TheWrap Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Lucas Brothers: On Drugs (2017) EDIT “Their material ranges from "juicy" O.J. Simpson puns to a hilarious two-way phone call between Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley about "Space Jam."” – TheWrap Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Todd Glass: Act Happy (2018) 100% EDIT “Todd Glass has put together a truly strange and subversive hour of comedy.” – TheWrap Jul 15, 2019 Full Review Bill Burr: Walk Your Way Out (2017) EDIT “Bill Burr's tell-it-like-it-is ranting, filmed just a few months before the election, now feels passé.” – TheWrap Jul 10, 2019 Full Review Maria Bamford: Old Baby (2017) 100% EDIT “Maria Bamford's erratic, scatterbrained comedy has always been an acquired taste, but her latest special proves she's a manic genius.” – TheWrap Jul 10, 2019 Full Review Tom Segura: Disgraceful (2018) 100% EDIT “Those who want a replacement for Louis C.K. in the schlubby, cynical and brutally honest middle-aged white guy department can look to Tom Segura.” – TheWrap Jul 9, 2019 Full Review Ricky Gervais: Humanity (2018) 47% EDIT “Inflating his ego is part of what you're paying for with Gervais, but this is irritating even for him.” – TheWrap Dec 28, 2018 Full Review Spielberg (2017) 91% EDIT “The HBO documentary Spielberg is a lot like some of the legendary director's films: it's well-made, thoughtful, emotional and maybe a little long.” – TheWrap Jun 25, 2018 Full Review Autumn Lights (2016) 17% EDIT “An eerie drama of secrets that demonstrates how a lonely setting can play upon the emotions.” – Village Voice Oct 20, 2016 Full Review Southpaw (2015) 59% c+ EDIT “The initial hype for Southpaw was that Jake Gyllenhaal simply looked jacked, and the thrill of seeing him that way never lessens. But he does manage subtlety the rest of the movie doesn't have.” – Consequence Jul 22, 2015 Full Review Cartel Land (2015) 90% A- EDIT “Cartel Land's narrative and Hollywood shine make this doc a gripping watch... This is a film of real stakes, real deaths, and real conflict.” – Consequence Jul 14, 2015 Full Review Self/less (2015) 18% C- EDIT “Self/less is an empty shell of a movie just waiting for a smarter one to be transplanted into it.” – Consequence Jul 9, 2015 Full Review A Little Chaos (2014) 47% C- EDIT “A Little Chaos comes off as highly concerned with appearances, but it could use a bit of the artistry and sense of rebellion that concerns the film's very premise.” – Consequence Jun 30, 2015 Full Review Infinitely Polar Bear (2014) 83% B- EDIT “Infinitely Polar Bear may be far too soft and inconsequential for it to leave a lasting impact, but Mark Ruffalo's acting alone cements it as a likeable, crowd-pleasing, little film” – Consequence Jun 23, 2015 Full Review Welcome to Me (2014) 74% C EDIT “Kristen Wiig's subdued yet physical and self-absorbed performance turns Alice into a believable character. But the movie struggles to find the comedy in Alice or the pathos in her situation.” – Consequence May 12, 2015 Full Review Far From the Madding Crowd (2015) 85% B EDIT “Far From the Madding Crowd may not be the most ideal role for a woman, but Carey Mulligan's an actress who can take this ordinary material and make it sing.” – Consequence May 12, 2015 Full Review
