David (2025) 76% EDIT “It can be a preachy and po-faced movie, to be sure, but a handsome one.” – New York Times Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Merrily We Roll Along (2025) 95% EDIT “Merrily We Roll Along is an OK movie of a good production of a great musical: on balance, another worthy addition to the Stephen Sondheim canon, which can always stand to be expanded. ” – New York Times Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Mr. K (2024) 79% EDIT “Mr. K is a species of European art film I had assumed was long extinct: mannered, self-consciously quirky, with an offbeat sense of humor and a visual style that’s both fusty and surreal” – New York Times Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Bone Lake (2024) 84% EDIT “Pigossi and Hasson are grounded and believable, while Nechita and especially the extra-smarmy Roe, are more exaggerated and engrossing, with an over-the-top magnetism that has a creepy edge. ” – New York Times Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Ebony & Ivory (2024) 73% EDIT “Grating, juvenile and repetitive, this eccentric stoner farce written and directed by Jim Hosking feels at times more like an experiment in social conditioning than a comedy...” – New York Times Aug 7, 2025 Full Review A Desert (2024) 83% EDIT “It’s a strange film, but it works, and feels grounded, because of its ensemble cast.” – New York Times May 1, 2025 Full Review Hell of a Summer (2023) 49% EDIT “Finn Wolfhard and Billy Bryk, the writers, directors and stars of “Hell of a Summer,” take a more conservative, and therefore more boring, approach to their horror homage. ” – New York Times Apr 3, 2025 Full Review The Parenting (2025) 49% EDIT “The cast is game, but the script, by a “Saturday Night Live” writer, Kent Sublette, is puerile and abrasive, lacking the wit of “Evil Dead” and the brio of “Scary Movie.”” – New York Times Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Y2K (2024) 42% EDIT “... The carnage of consumer goods is nasty, gory and cruel, with a darkly comic mean streak that recalls Joe Dante’s “Gremlins.”” – New York Times Dec 9, 2024 Full Review Flow (2024) 97% EDIT “Zilbalodis largely avoids the sort of whimsy and sentimentality that might plague, say, a Disney movie with the same premise. ” – New York Times Nov 21, 2024 Full Review Family Pack (2024) EDIT “The game itself is so good. I’m not sure the movie understands why.” – New York Times Oct 29, 2024 Full Review The Line (2023) 79% EDIT “Berger takes a keen anthropological approach to the rites and rituals of the fictitious Kappa Nu Alpha house, and he makes it so that you can almost smell the stale beer and crumpled Ralph Lauren. ” – New York Times Oct 17, 2024 Full Review The 4:30 Movie (2024) 70% EDIT “It’s like “The Fabelmans” if Steven Spielberg had grown up to make bad movies.” – New York Times Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Incoming (2024) 24% EDIT “Instead of beer bongs, there are lines of ketamine; instead of fart jokes, there’s diarrhea in a Tesla. Maybe that’s progress. But I’d say the filmmakers flunked.” – New York Times Aug 23, 2024 Full Review Film Geek (2023) EDIT “Shepard describes movies in clichés, when he describes movies at all. More often he is talking about himself, a subject of interest to far fewer viewers.” – New York Times May 16, 2024 Full Review Arcadian (2024) 78% EDIT “A competent director can do only so much with a poor script, and “Arcadian” is littered with shortcuts and screenwriting clichés.” – New York Times Apr 11, 2024 Full Review Snack Shack (2024) 82% EDIT “With its rambling momentum and quick-witted, almost musical dialogue, it feels less like “Superbad” than a Robert Altman movie, sort of like a pint-size “California Split.”” – New York Times Mar 14, 2024 Full Review Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba -To the Hashira Training- (2024) 88% EDIT “It makes you wish it were a real movie instead.” – New York Times Feb 22, 2024 Full Review Monolith (2023) 87% EDIT ““Monolith” becomes harder to take seriously as the drama escalates, especially when Sullivan, finding herself in danger, charges on with an impassioned plea: “I have to continue this podcast!”” – New York Times Feb 15, 2024 Full Review The Family Plan (2023) 29% EDIT “This is pretty routine material, but it’s been realized with charm and enthusiasm: The director, Simon Cellan Jones, maintains a good handle on the comic-thriller tone and shoots the action with wit and creativity...” – New York Times Dec 15, 2023 Full Review Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain (2023) 42% EDIT “The frustrating thing is that Marshall, Herlihy and especially Higgins really are funny, and the film has some huge laughs. That’s enough for a sketch show. It’s not quite enough for a film.” – New York Times Nov 17, 2023 Full Review Albert Brooks: Defending My Life (2023) 97% EDIT “While Brooks deserves acclaim, he deserves it in a format as compelling and dynamic as he is. “Defending My Life” is simply too flat.” – New York Times Nov 9, 2023 Full Review Subject (2022) 85% EDIT “At no point do Tiexiera or Hall deal with their own complicity in any of this: They are, after all, making a documentary, and we get no sense of how they might answer the questions they pose to other documentarians.” – New York Times Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Inspector Sun (2022) 81% EDIT “While sometimes grating, the film is always appealing, with pleasing details, down to its Art Deco end titles.” – New York Times Oct 26, 2023 Full Review The Devil on Trial (2023) 33% EDIT “Instead of challenging assumptions, exploring implications or discussing the difficult questions here, Holt merely mines the material for superficial shock value and lurid titillation.” – New York Times Oct 18, 2023 Full Review
