The Contestant (2023) 92% EDIT “It’s the story of Nasubi’s post-TV life that elevates “The Contestant” from a chronicle of exploitation to a tale of resilience and reinvention.” – The New Yorker May 9, 2024 Full Review Wish I Was Here (2014) 45% EDIT “Those Big Moments can represent catharsis, however, only to a viewer already on Braff’s wavelength. Otherwise, they merely strike audience members (including myself) as self-indulgent, even silly. And that’s probably all right with Braff.” – TheWrap Mar 14, 2023 Full Review Leave No Trace (2022) 83% EDIT “If the pacing occasionally slacks, “Leave No Trace” makes up for it in narrative twists and turns that shock without ever feeling exploitative.” – Washington Post Jun 16, 2022 Full Review Jerrod Carmichael: Rothaniel (2022) 100% EDIT “ As Carmichael visibly strives to be okay with the vulnerability that comes with his new candor — a rare spectacle in itself that manages to fascinate rather than drag down the hour — the audience adapts itself into part of the act...” – Washington Post May 9, 2022 Full Review Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street (2021) 95% EDIT “There's nothing less necessary than a gratuitously dirt-digging "exposé" of "Sesame Street." But "Street Gang" isn't too far behind in its inessentialness...” – Washington Post Dec 14, 2021 Full Review Attica (2021) 100% EDIT “It's a worthy - and sadly timely - remembrance of a singular event whose ghosts continue to haunt us.” – Washington Post Nov 5, 2021 Full Review The Many Saints of Newark (2021) 72% 1.5/4 EDIT “It's a tray of Carmela's ziti piled high with cannoli and gabagool, then drenched in espresso and red wine - a waste of its ingredients.” – Washington Post Sep 30, 2021 Full Review Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. the Reverend (2020) 94% EDIT “Kimmy vs. the Reverend isn't wholly essential as an epilogue to Tina Fey and Robert Carlock's comedy, but it's also much more substantial and satisfying than most fan-service-oriented post-series projects.” – The Hollywood Reporter Aug 9, 2021 Full Review Fear Street Part One: 1994 (2021) 84% EDIT “Deena and Sam's romance is a push-pull between two paper-thin characters whose relationship never gains the contours that make you care about its survival.” – Washington Post Jul 30, 2021 Full Review Fear Street Part Two: 1978 (2021) 88% EDIT “So much of the trilogy is dedicated to expositional scenes laying down the foundations of Shadyside's history, there's too much that's admirable in theory and flat on screen.” – Washington Post Jul 30, 2021 Full Review Fear Street Part Three: 1666 (2021) 89% EDIT “The trilogy's final scenes... feel more like an iteration of "Home Alone," with mindless stabbers taking the place of Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern. Those two might not have had any brains, either, but at least they had some personality.” – Washington Post Jul 30, 2021 Full Review America: The Motion Picture (2021) 34% 1.5/4 EDIT “The gulf between stupid-smart and just plain stupid feels immeasurably vast when watching "America: The Motion Picture," which is clearly aiming for the former but lands squarely in the latter.” – Washington Post Jun 30, 2021 Full Review Lady Buds (2021) 100% EDIT “Lady Buds is the kind of film whose raison d'être isn't immediately obvious, but whose storytelling is engaging enough that we're ready for wherever the journey takes us.” – The Hollywood Reporter May 11, 2021 Full Review WeWork: Or the Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn (2021) 75% EDIT “The documentary is just as notable for the cultural and social analysis that it lacks as it is for its contents.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 26, 2021 Full Review Who We Are: A Chronicle of Racism in America (2021) 98% EDIT “Frequently moving, but never transcends its lecture format.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 24, 2021 Full Review On These Grounds (2021) 88% EDIT “Well intentioned but messy... its impact undermined by its hazy focus.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 23, 2021 Full Review Islands (2021) 91% EDIT “A familiar tale about learning to embrace life again is revitalized by cultural specificity in Islands, Martin Edralin's first film.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 17, 2021 Full Review Introducing, Selma Blair (2021) 100% EDIT “Introducing is a remarkably moving portrait of a 40-something woman forced to reevaluate her relationships and her sense of self in the face of a chronic illness that leaves her sometimes unable to speak or control her movements.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 17, 2021 Full Review Kid 90 (2021) 76% EDIT “Frye's desire to learn what she can from her unusual childhood in the spotlight is unquestionably sincere, but the recollections and reflections she's willing to impart perhaps belong more in a diary than a documentary.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 15, 2021 Full Review Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal (2021) 88% EDIT “The script's skillful tension makes it easy to forgive Operation Varsity Blues its occasionally clunky missteps.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 11, 2021 Full Review Boogie (2021) 41% EDIT “Boogie's got personal vision and swaggering flair to spare - Huang wouldn't have it any other way.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 4, 2021 Full Review Moxie (2021) 70% EDIT “It's the kind of movie that needs a feather-light touch or plenty of humor to avoid feeling overly parental. Moxie has neither.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 1, 2021 Full Review Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) 93% EDIT “This is a film that knows how to soar.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 1, 2021 Full Review R#J (2021) 50% EDIT “It's hard to keep track of the plot's machinations where the supporting characters are involved, and the script - and pacing - are further hampered by the film's liberal borrowing from Shakespeare's own dialogue...” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 16, 2021 Full Review There is No I in Threesome (2021) 86% EDIT “A cerebral yet soul-searching tribute to a relationship that might have been too crowded long before it was opened up.” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 11, 2021 Full Review
