South Park: Post COVID: The Return of COVID (2021) B+ EDIT “While these South Park TV movies exist in this weird space between regular episodes and feature-length films, I think having the extra time to work on them benefits Parker and Stone.” – AV Club Dec 17, 2021 Full Review South Park: Post COVID (2021) B- EDIT “Now that all of the setup is out of the way, we'll hopefully get to a payoff that's bigger, longer, and uncut.” – AV Club Nov 27, 2021 Full Review The Golden Glove (2019) 54% A- EDIT “The Golden Glove definitely isn't for everyone, and even when divorced from its more transgressive scenes, it's not exactly a pleasant viewing experience. But for those not repulsed, there's a lonely, human heart at its center.” – Consequence Oct 1, 2019 Full Review Knives Out (2019) 97% B+ EDIT “Knives Out is an effective, entertaining, and contemporary spin on what's no longer a worn-out genre.” – Consequence Sep 27, 2019 Full Review In the Tall Grass (2019) 36% C+ EDIT “The strong atmospherics and performances aren't quite enough to keep In the Tall Grass from feeling like, well, wandering through a bunch of tall grass.” – Consequence Sep 22, 2019 Full Review Family (2018) 74% EDIT “Leaning into unpredictability might also have meant sacrificing Family's biggest strength - its heart. It might be dripping with soda and slathered in black and white greasepaint. But it's a heart nonetheless.” – Consequence Apr 11, 2019 Full Review The Dirt (2019) 37% D EDIT “Despite the long wait, The Dirt is nothing more than karaöke Crüe.” – Consequence Mar 22, 2019 Full Review Pet Sematary (2019) 57% A- EDIT “While the changes to the source material are guaranteed to polarize some King fans, Pet Sematary bucks the remake trap of simply paying homage to an iconic piece of horror.” – Consequence Mar 17, 2019 Full Review Good Boys (2019) 81% B+ EDIT “Even if the rapid-fire pace of the jokes keeps a tiny handful of them from landing, the film gets bonus points for not being afraid to get emotional.” – Consequence Mar 16, 2019 Full Review Everybody's Everything (2019) 100% B EDIT “The juxtaposition between Peep at home as a kid, and a not-much-older Peep cast out in front of the world, is both fascinating and heartbreaking.” – Consequence Mar 13, 2019 Full Review Her Smell (2018) 83% A- EDIT “Perry's kinetic style and Moss' explosive performance transform it into something that feels more authentic than actual history.” – Consequence Mar 11, 2019 Full Review The Beach Bum (2019) 58% D+ EDIT “Contrary to what everyone in his world seems to believe, he's exhausting to hang out with before long.” – Consequence Mar 10, 2019 Full Review Us (2019) 93% B- EDIT “It might be far from perfect, but Us never feels quite like any other horror movie out there.” – Consequence Mar 9, 2019 Full Review Hush (2016) 92% EDIT “Even though that's a theme lifted right from Wait Until Dark, the significant amount of time that Hush spends with the enemy makes the revelation that much more important.” – Consequence Oct 23, 2018 Full Review Bad Times at the El Royale (2018) 75% B+ EDIT “Immensely satisfying both visually and narratively, Bad Times at the El Royale plays like a kinetic mashup of Pulp Fiction and The Grand Budapest Hotel.” – Consequence Oct 2, 2018 Full Review Overlord (2018) 82% B EDIT “Overlord is probably too small-scale and workmanlike to ever be a stone-cold classic, but its overall seriousness, competency, and visceral special effects (digitized blood notwithstanding) make it something to celebrate.” – Consequence Sep 29, 2018 Full Review Suspiria (2018) 65% A- EDIT “Although the latest Suspiria is arguably more graphic than its source material, there's a mesmerizing grace that separates it from Argento's. Even at its goriest, this is a dance film as much as it's a horror film.” – Consequence Sep 25, 2018 Full Review Blaze (2018) 95% A EDIT “One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.” – Consequence Mar 21, 2018 Full Review Isle of Dogs (2018) 90% A- EDIT “: Wes Anderson respects the hell out of dogs. In Isle, he harms them not because he's a sicko, but because he believes they're every bit as deserving of a complex adventure narrative as human characters - perhaps even more so.” – Consequence Mar 18, 2018 Full Review The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter (2018) 25% B- EDIT “It succeeds as a minor work from Jody Hill, which if nothing else is still good for more than a few laughs.” – Consequence Mar 18, 2018 Full Review Paradox (2018) 29% C- EDIT “It feels better-suited for playing on a reel-to-reel projector in someone's basement than at the biggest film venue of SXSW.” – Consequence Mar 16, 2018 Full Review Eighth Grade (2018) 99% A- EDIT “Burnham thankfully never loses sight of the belief that things truly can get better if you want them to.” – Consequence Mar 13, 2018 Full Review Ready Player One (2018) 71% C- EDIT “At a certain point, though, Ready Player One wants to be appreciated as a film as well as a movie, no matter what Spielberg says. And that's where it begins to falter.” – Consequence Mar 12, 2018 Full Review 1922 (2017) 92% B+ EDIT “Zak Hilditch - like Gerald's Game director Mike Flanagan - knows that, even with the pathos behind it, this is still a horror story.” – Consequence Sep 29, 2017 Full Review Gerald's Game (2017) 91% B EDIT “Gerald's Game was never going to be the easiest Stephen King novel to bring to the big screen, and despite a handful of faults, it's that rare horror film that works on both a psychological and a visceral level.” – Consequence Sep 25, 2017 Full Review
