The Sweet East (2023) 82% 2.5/4 EDIT “Its charm wanes whenever it’s just not as funny, smart, or edgy as it thinks. ” – RogerEbert.com Dec 6, 2023 Full Review Leo (2023) 84% 1.5/4 EDIT “The Sandman’s modern lazy artistic side takes over, fully flexed in this Netflix project rife with stiff animation and awkward gags. Even the spare musical numbers with Sandler doing That Voice are underwhelming.” – RogerEbert.com Nov 22, 2023 Full Review Thanksgiving (2023) 83% 3/4 EDIT “While calling it Roth’s best film may not carry the most weight, “Thanksgiving” easily affirms that when his script isn’t simply a pile of guts, he can be a wicked good entertainer.” – RogerEbert.com Nov 16, 2023 Full Review After the Fire (2023) EDIT “After the Fire illuminates the stories of the mourning families who need privacy, but whose pain and sacrifice become, unfortunately, paramount for justice to be served.” – RogerEbert.com Nov 15, 2023 Full Review Dream Scenario (2023) 91% 3/4 EDIT “In the end, “Dream Scenario” is what it criticizes, but with no great statement or great pivotal scene, just intriguing, oddball amusement. The movie isn’t just about memes; it is a meme.” – RogerEbert.com Nov 10, 2023 Full Review After Death (2023) 47% .5/4 EDIT “In a different life, “After Death” would be street trash.” – RogerEbert.com Oct 31, 2023 Full Review Mister Organ (2022) 95% 3.5/4 EDIT “At the risk of his sanity, Farrier has bottled one of the darkest ways a law-abiding human can be made.” – RogerEbert.com Oct 12, 2023 Full Review Appendage (2023) 50% 3/4 EDIT “A comically freaky look at the inner voices we must learn to live with.” – RogerEbert.com Oct 11, 2023 Full Review The Mill (2023) 46% 2/4 EDIT “[A] lackluster horror experiment.” – RogerEbert.com Oct 9, 2023 Full Review Relax, I'm from the Future (2023) 85% 2.5/4 EDIT “A sci-fi comedy with a modest sense of humor but tangled message to share with humankind.” – RogerEbert.com Sep 22, 2023 Full Review The Queen of My Dreams (2023) 89% EDIT “The film remains pleasing across its different decades and drawn similarities, its emotional story emboldened by the color palette of a shelf full of saris.” – RogerEbert.com Sep 21, 2023 Full Review Achilles (2023) 67% EDIT “Delaram matches graceful storytelling with intentionally hazy storytelling, as both his characters head to an unknown but with a purpose.” – RogerEbert.com Sep 21, 2023 Full Review Songs of Earth (2023) 100% EDIT “Margreth Olin’s “Songs of Earth,” executive produced by Liv Ullman and Wim Wenders, is a many-splendored thing: a home movie worthy of IMAX theaters.” – RogerEbert.com Sep 21, 2023 Full Review Summer Qamp (2023) 100% EDIT “[A] fiercely empathetic doc from director Jen Markowitz.” – RogerEbert.com Sep 21, 2023 Full Review Vacation Friends 2 (2023) 23% 1.5/4 EDIT “Like John Cena and Meredith Hagner’s characters, this movie's shrill sense of humor barrels into our viewing lives again, begging for our attention and to be seen as cute. Now we have something that’s even worse and more testing than “Vacation Friends.”” – RogerEbert.com Aug 25, 2023 Full Review The Adults (2023) 72% 3.5/4 EDIT “There is so much to feel from [Defa's] take on dysfunction, including how it presents siblings who can sing and dance in unison but are not friends. "The Adults" is defined by such crucial touches.” – RogerEbert.com Aug 18, 2023 Full Review Hippo (2023) 90% EDIT “A transfixing oddity.” – RogerEbert.com Aug 11, 2023 Full Review With Love and a Major Organ (2023) 88% EDIT “A clever sci-fi comedy for anyone who feels we could all stand to live and love a little more.” – RogerEbert.com Aug 11, 2023 Full Review Where the Devil Roams (2023) 100% EDIT “Their collective filmmaking eye is still so compellingly intentional and full of riches ... the Adams are so gifted at filming bleak Americana, corpses, cloudy days, and rotting hands.” – RogerEbert.com Aug 11, 2023 Full Review Lovely, Dark, and Deep (2023) 89% EDIT ““Lovely, Dark, and Deep” has a tight grip, cleverly reframing the woods as a new space in which no one can hear you scream.” – RogerEbert.com Aug 11, 2023 Full Review The Sacrifice Game (2023) 90% EDIT “Wexler and Sean Redlitz's script proves strongest when it can be as bonkers as it likes.” – RogerEbert.com Aug 10, 2023 Full Review New Life (2023) 94% EDIT “As the film's initial scope of Jessie and Elsa continues to zoom out, we suddenly all know the traumatic horror of "New Life" all too well. And we feel for our hero to a depth that action-thrillers have never known. What a delight, what a discovery.” – RogerEbert.com Aug 10, 2023 Full Review Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story (2023) 65% C- EDIT “Sony is transparent with this adaptation, which has no ambitions to make “Gran Turismo” any more challenging than gamer bait.” – The Playlist Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023) 95% B+ EDIT “ In this movie’s wise deconstruction of its characters, “Mutant Mayhem” does the seemingly impossible and makes the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cool again.” – The Playlist Aug 8, 2023 Full Review Meg 2: The Trench (2023) 27% C EDIT ““Meg 2: The Trench” is an Act Three movie in that it finally gets to the good dumb stuff in its finale when Wheatley, his sharks, and dinosaur-like mega lizards tear up a place called “Fun Island.” ” – The Playlist Aug 8, 2023 Full Review
