The Dark Tower (2017) 16% C- EDIT “Bringing the action of future Dark Tower novels forward isn't a sin. The sin is not having nearly enough space for it. The film is breathless in all the worst ways as a result.” – Consequence Aug 3, 2017 Full Review Holy Hell (2016) 73% A EDIT “Never before has a cult documentary contained so much footage of its inner workings” – Consequence Apr 29, 2016 Full Review Goat (2016) 79% B+ EDIT “Goat deals with masculinity, fraternities, and PTSD in equal doses, covering all of them with brutal precision and most importantly, success.” – Consequence Feb 1, 2016 Full Review First Girl I Loved (2016) 89% B- EDIT “What writer and director Kerem Sanga captures so well in First Girl I Loved is high school. What he captures even better is falling in love, or the naïve idea of what it means to be in love as a teenager.” – Consequence Jan 29, 2016 Full Review Joshy (2016) 84% C EDIT “Baena's crime is that he tries to make it a dramedy at the last minute and doesn't come close to earning it. It's a shame, because while the comedy beats are familiar, the uber-talented cast of Joshy give them a new vibe.” – Consequence Jan 28, 2016 Full Review Swiss Army Man (2016) 73% B EDIT “Frenzied, kinetic filmmaking is hit or miss, but The Daniels are showcasing their talents as opposed to showing off.” – Consequence Jan 27, 2016 Full Review The Birth of a Nation (2016) 72% A- EDIT “The Birth of a Nation is one of the most confident writing and directorial debuts in recent memory.” – Consequence Jan 26, 2016 Full Review Christine (2016) 88% B- EDIT “What Christine gets right above all else is that it comes at depression from a different angle. Director Antonio Campos evades drone and downpours in favor of '70s soft rock and bright skies.” – Consequence Jan 26, 2016 Full Review The Eyes of My Mother (2016) 78% A- EDIT “The Eyes of My Mother is a beautiful nightmare from start to finish” – Consequence Jan 24, 2016 Full Review The Greasy Strangler (2016) 62% B EDIT “Original thought is in short supply these days. The Greasy Strangler is not.” – Consequence Jan 23, 2016 Full Review The Free World (2016) 53% C EDIT “The Free World works when dealing with the themes found within its title. When we have our freedoms taken away, how difficult is it to get them back. Is it wholly possible? Somewhere along the way, Lew decided such a story wasn't compelling enough.” – Consequence Jan 22, 2016 Full Review Other People (2016) 88% C+ EDIT “Other People is an okay movie that could have been better with a little more focus. Come for the performances, but understand that you're just staying for the performances. Oh, and Train's "Drops of Jupiter". Never better.” – Consequence Jan 22, 2016 Full Review The Hateful Eight (2015) 74% B+ EDIT “The Hateful Eight is a big, mean movie in a small, isolated setting hidden among a beautiful, beautiful world.” – Consequence Dec 21, 2015 Full Review Concussion (2015) 58% D+ EDIT “Concussion aims to be Brian's Song and ends up The Waterboy.” – Consequence Dec 20, 2015 Full Review Creed (2015) 95% A- EDIT “Ryan Coogler accomplished what would have seemed impossible 40 years ago: He got the audience to chant "Creed!" in a Rocky movie.” – Consequence Nov 20, 2015 Full Review Spectre (2015) 63% C EDIT “Early on, Spectre promises to be one of the best Bonds - a reminder that nobody does it better. In the end, it just looks like everything else.” – Consequence Nov 3, 2015 Full Review The Green Inferno (2013) 39% D EDIT “When directed away from the pain and admittedly effective use of violence, The Green Inferno turns into an unintentional laugh riot. U.S. policy and Eli Roth do not mix.” – Consequence Sep 25, 2015 Full Review The Second Mother (2015) 98% B+ EDIT “The Second Mother manages to remain funny throughout its depictions of class, struggle, and motherhood - stories mostly told to death in dramatic fashion.” – Consequence Sep 18, 2015 Full Review The Mend (2014) 78% B- EDIT “John Magary's The Mend is a showcase for Josh Lucas, who proves that he's always been a leading man; it's just that Hollywood gave up on him” – Consequence Sep 10, 2015 Full Review Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013) 78% B EDIT “Director Lowery, in only his second film, offers us a fine modern-day interpretation of classic Terrence Malick.” – Consequence Sep 3, 2015 Full Review Short Term 12 (2013) 98% B- EDIT “Larson delivers one of the great performances of 2013.” – Consequence Sep 3, 2015 Full Review Starred Up (2013) 99% B EDIT “A great ripple effect is felt throughout David Mackenzie's Starred Up, a gritty British prison drama that puts most gritty prison dramas to shame.” – Consequence Sep 3, 2015 Full Review Machete Kills (2013) 29% F EDIT “Everything looks artificial and achieved in post-production. Every shortcut is met to save money on budget and time.” – Consequence Sep 3, 2015 Full Review God Help the Girl (2014) 67% C+ EDIT “Come for the movie, struggle through the story, and embrace the tunes.” – Consequence Sep 2, 2015 Full Review The Trip to Italy (2014) 88% B EDIT “It's 'second verse, same as the first.' Thank God.” – Consequence Sep 2, 2015 Full Review
