The First Wives Club (1996) 51% EDIT “The First Wives Club is one of the few films made for a female audience in which its characters find fulfillment not by shacking up with a man, but by moving on from partners that don't deserve them.” – Consequence Jan 7, 2019 Full Review Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny (2016) 25% EDIT “Nostalgia is nice, but Netflix should just focus on making better content.” – The Daily Dot Sep 8, 2017 Full Review War Machine (2017) 48% EDIT “The general would be a great character in a film that deserved him.” – The Daily Dot Sep 7, 2017 Full Review King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017) 31% EDIT “To that hallowed list of great expensive follies - "John Carter," "Ishtar," "Heaven's Gate" - let us ceremonially add another name: "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword."” – Salon.com May 12, 2017 Full Review Ghostbusters (2016) 74% EDIT “Ghostbusters, one of the funniest movies of the year, is so daffy and effervescent that it appears weightless, as if the film could float away at any moment. But that disguises its immense importance at a time when many felt it shouldn't exist.” – The Daily Dot Dec 12, 2016 Full Review Jackie (2016) 87% EDIT “"Jackie" transcends mimicry to achieve something greater - bringing the first lady's grief and resolve in the face of unspeakable loss to vivid life.” – Salon.com Dec 3, 2016 Full Review The Edge of Seventeen (2016) 94% EDIT “The wisest and smartest teen comedy in years.” – Salon.com Nov 28, 2016 Full Review The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again (2016) 29% EDIT “It turns out you can't do the Time Warp again after all.” – Salon.com Oct 21, 2016 Full Review 20th Century Women (2016) 88% A EDIT “20th Century Women is filled with the kinds of people you know very well or ones you would like to know. By the time the movie has reached its bittersweet, tearful conclusion, you'll want to hug the person who made it.” – Consequence Oct 17, 2016 Full Review Personal Shopper (2016) 81% C EDIT “For the film's many sins, Personal Shopper is surprisingly effective and intermittently gripping. For that, credit is due to a truly phenomenal performance from Stewart.” – Consequence Oct 13, 2016 Full Review Julieta (2016) 84% C- EDIT “Julieta is a reminder that even great directors make bad movies” – Consequence Oct 11, 2016 Full Review Toni Erdmann (2016) 93% A EDIT “What Toni Erdmann offers - in all its crushing optimism - is a chance at absolution. Running nearly three hours, Ade's film is almost overwhelming in its hopefulness, which is precisely what makes it so necessary.” – Consequence Oct 11, 2016 Full Review The Girl on the Train (2016) 44% EDIT “If it came across your desk, you would probably give it a C-, along with feedback on how to improve on the next assignment.” – Salon.com Oct 8, 2016 Full Review Paterson (2016) 96% B+ EDIT “One of the director's finest to date, the film derives its unique power from the repetition of daily life, elevating the mundane to a kind of divinity.” – Consequence Oct 5, 2016 Full Review 13TH (2016) 97% B+ EDIT “If you're waking up to news about Donald Trump's latest threat to the life and liberty of people of color and you wonder how we got here, 13th has an answer for you.” – Consequence Oct 5, 2016 Full Review Gimme Danger (2016) 95% B- EDIT “Gimme Danger checks the usual rock doc boxes, but it succeeds because of its smashing subject matter. The Stooges may not be the greatest musical act in history, but they are one of the most lively subjects for a documentary.” – Consequence Oct 4, 2016 Full Review Moonlight (2016) 98% A EDIT “Under Jenkins' direction, Moonlight is both haunting and poetic, a bittersweet elegy for what could have been. His unflinching camera, which tends to follow the film's characters like a ghost, gives the film a startling immediacy and emotional power.” – Consequence Sep 30, 2016 Full Review XOXO (2016) 71% C EDIT “If you share the filmmakers' starry-eyed view of EDM, you might like XOXO. Everyone else, however, is urged to buy a ticket to another show.” – Consequence Aug 29, 2016 Full Review The Sea of Trees (2015) 19% D- EDIT “The Sea of Trees isn't the worst movie of the year, but it certainly isn't for lack of trying.” – Consequence Aug 29, 2016 Full Review Star Trek Beyond (2016) 86% EDIT “"Beyond" is undoubtedly messy, like a Starfleet ship that's taken its fair share of beatings, but it is frequently a reminder of how good the series can be when all its engines are in working order.” – Salon.com Jul 26, 2016 Full Review CafĂ© Society (2016) 71% B EDIT “If a great deal of Caf Society is shaggy and unfocused, it's at least pleasing in its shapelessness.” – Consequence Jul 15, 2016 Full Review Brahman Naman (2016) 70% C EDIT “Brahman Naman is like a crispy Samosa with nothing at the center. The Netflix release pays homage to American sex comedies from Porky's and Revenge of the Nerds to There's Something About Mary, but lacks the heart to go along with the excess of raunch.” – Consequence Jul 13, 2016 Full Review Cell (2016) 11% D+ EDIT “Given the absurdity of the premise, Cell isn't nearly as luridly entertaining as it should be.” – Consequence Jun 13, 2016 Full Review Love & Friendship (2016) 96% A EDIT “Love and Friendship is the purest distillation of Jane Austen's work yet to grace the screen.” – Consequence May 13, 2016 Full Review The Family Fang (2015) 84% B- EDIT “The Family Fang particularly succeeds as a showcase for Walken, who is skilled at bringing to life men of unbending will.” – Consequence May 5, 2016 Full Review
