The Naked Gun (2025) 87% 5/5 EDIT “The rebooted Naked Gun condenses a staggering volume of jokes into a svelte sub-hour-and-a-half length, to the point that the question of whether any one gag works on you becomes immaterial.” – Little White Lies Aug 1, 2025 Full Review Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025) 14% D EDIT “If the unbearable weight of massive talent is really so crazy-making, that unwieldy creativity should be set free, however messy. Or, if I can just say what I mean: making audiences feel nostalgic about Kanye West? In this cultural economy?” – IndieWire May 15, 2025 Full Review Den of Thieves: Pantera (2025) 62% 4/5 EDIT “The film’s chief virtues -- elegant and spatially coherent camera choreography, Butler getting his groove on as Big Nick gets his back, the furtive intimacies shared by alpha males -- are timeless. ” – Guardian Jan 10, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 85% 5/5 EDIT “Its entwined torrents of pain and pleasure chart the boundaries of sensation in a buttoned-up age, and allow us back in the present to be scandalized by its raw, visceral (in the definitional, from-the-guts sense) hungers as if for the very first time.” – Little White Lies Dec 24, 2024 Full Review Terrifier 3 (2024) 78% 4/5 EDIT “The film proffers plenty of funny gifts along these lines, foremost among them a written-for-the-film Christmas tune rivaling the Muppet Christmas Carol’s gold standard, but the real reason for the season is the simple, honest lust for carnage. ” – Little White Lies Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Young Woman and the Sea (2024) 88% 2/5 EDIT “Nestled safely in the remote past, however, the story of a battle that has long since been won (you’d be hard-pressed to find a living person who believes women should not be allowed to go swimming) offers an anodyne, Disneyfied take on feminism. ” – Guardian May 30, 2024 Full Review Universal Language (2024) 95% EDIT “Rankin’s sophomore effort also diverges from The Twentieth Century in its sincere emotionality, the shedding of tears being one key motif in its stew of whimsical recurring iconography.” – Little White Lies May 22, 2024 Full Review The Garfield Movie (2024) 36% 1/5 EDIT “Audiences have spent decades of mornings with Garfield. We know Garfield. Garfield is a friend of ours. Senator, Chris Pratt is no Garfield.” – Guardian May 22, 2024 Full Review Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) 90% EDIT “High on exhaust and the limitless capabilities of cinema, this no-brakes franchise keeps careening onward as if it could run forever.” – Decider May 15, 2024 Full Review Drive-Away Dolls (2024) 64% 4/5 EDIT “Contrary to its easygoing casual gait, this is an essential work in the Coen corpus, an evolution more than a regression or sacrifice. It’s the rare case in which a preponderance of dick jokes heralds a newfound advance in maturity.” – Guardian Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Miller's Girl (2024) 30% EDIT “From one scene to the next, a viewer may experience trouble discerning whether this is a merely stupid movie, an amusing specimen of semi-witting camp, or stealth coup of high-wire self-parody.” – Inside Hook Feb 2, 2024 Full Review The Iron Claw (2023) 89% EDIT “For all the demonstrative shows of love for wrestling that come from Durkin, he also identifies it as a mortally injurious force to those who practice it, and conflates the game itself with Fritz’s malignant approach to it.” – Inside Hook Dec 22, 2023 Full Review Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire (2023) 22% 1/5 EDIT “Snyder mistakes exposition for world-building, the lugubriously delivered reams of backstory removing the audience from the fantasy rather than immersing them in it.” – Guardian Dec 15, 2023 Full Review Godzilla Minus One (2023) 99% B+ EDIT “The film threads the needle of epic intimacy by identifying a personal element too expansive to be trivial, a battle we all take up together in solidarity. ” – IndieWire Dec 1, 2023 Full Review Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain (2023) 42% EDIT “With their uneven feature vehicle Please Don’t Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain, the three decamp to small-town North Carolina as doofuses far outside showbiz, though “Ben,” “Martin,” and “John” remain suspended in a state of arrested adolescence.” – The Daily Beast Nov 20, 2023 Full Review Dashing Through the Snow (2023) 30% 1/5 EDIT “In film-making as in gift-giving, it’s the thought that counts, and there’s not much to go around in here.” – Guardian Nov 17, 2023 Full Review Thanksgiving (2023) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Roth thinks in hooks and punchlines, which keeps the copious slayings inventive and gratifying while also enlivening the connective tissue between them.” – Guardian Nov 15, 2023 Full Review Sly (2023) 81% 2/5 EDIT “A sanitized, often convincing commercial for Stallone as product in place of the man himself.” – Guardian Oct 30, 2023 Full Review Old Dads (2023) 27% 1/5 EDIT “When not being used to grind dull culture-war axes, sputtering impotent anger is a comedy staple. It just needs to be funnier than this.” – Guardian Oct 20, 2023 Full Review Janet Planet (2023) 85% EDIT “This is not just one of the great films of its year, but one of the finest first films in the annals of the medium.” – Little White Lies Oct 10, 2023 Full Review Green Border (2023) 94% 4/5 EDIT “[Agnieszka Holland] knows to stop short of heaping full-bore sadism upon her harried subjects, making time for the respites of calm and play that the spirit manufactures for itself out of necessity in dire times.” – Little White Lies Oct 10, 2023 Full Review Saw X (2023) 81% EDIT “ X frames Kramer like a tragic hero instead of a complete maniac with a thing for Rube Goldberg homicide, and swears by the wobbly moral mechanism he believes will balance his soul’s ledger. ” – Inside Hook Oct 6, 2023 Full Review All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt (2023) 90% EDIT “It’s a feature debut all right, but generally in the good ways, bursting with pent-up inspiration even if it can’t quite fill the room for growth.” – Little White Lies Oct 6, 2023 Full Review Reptile (2023) 44% 2/5 EDIT “Less "whodunit", more "who cares?"” – Little White Lies Sep 28, 2023 Full Review Aggro Dr1ft (2023) 41% EDIT “The director's latest is an impulse-driven, almost childlike approach to image-making.” – Inside Hook Sep 22, 2023 Full Review
