Echo Valley (2025) 52% EDIT “As you count down the minutes until the next teardrop falls and Echo Valley takes another unnecessary twist, bide your time through the draggy bits by enjoying the nice supporting work.” – Willamette Week Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Caught by the Tides (2024) 99% EDIT “The real attraction is the huge canvas that the filmmaker uses to tell this story.” – Willamette Week Jun 6, 2025 Full Review A Normal Family (2023) 89% EDIT “Neither Hur nor his actors provide any reason to care what happens to these entitled zombies and their awful offspring.” – Willamette Week May 21, 2025 Full Review The Shrouds (2024) 75% EDIT “With a larger canvas, stretched over 10 hours, there’s every chance Cronenberg could have explored this dark and profound territory in more depth. But with only two skittish hours at his disposal, the director barely cracks the topsoil.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 78% EDIT “The dark comedy loses all its punch and bite, and the seemingly tender romantic relationship between Mickey and Nasha (Naomi Ackie) is clouded and dulled.” – Willamette Week Mar 12, 2025 Full Review DIG! XX (2024) 100% EDIT “Outside of an eye-roll-inducing intro from Dave Grohl, the fresh material is fantastic, adding extra layers of hilarity and melancholy to the tale. ” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jan 24, 2025 Full Review The Last Showgirl (2024) 83% EDIT “Coppola and screenwriter Kate Gersten do lay on thick the themes of folks in middle age struggling to keep up with the churn of modern life... but that doesn’t make them any less effective.” – Willamette Week Jan 15, 2025 Full Review Caligula: The Ultimate Cut (2023) 66% EDIT “The sheer amount of blood and clothes being shed through the film’s three-hour runtime has a numbing effect that dulls the impact of the nuanced performance by Mirren as Caligula’s scheming wife... and the strong set pieces scattered among the carnage.” – Willamette Week Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Confess, Fletch (2022) 86% EDIT “With its lived-in charm, snappy dialogue, and Hamm’s star appeal, Confess, Fletch has all the ingredients to be a sneaky success.” – Consequence Sep 16, 2022 Full Review Deep Cover (1992) 87% 7/10 EDIT “Even if viewers didn't see the full impact of crack's scourge themselves, they felt the shockwaves all the same.” – PopMatters Jul 26, 2021 Full Review The Human Condition I: No Greater Love (1959) 73% 8/10 EDIT “A Sisyphean journey through WWII-era Japan.” – PopMatters Jul 20, 2021 Full Review A Soldier's Prayer (1961) 8/10 EDIT “It's in the final act of this engrossing, breathtaking journey that Kobayashi makes his deepest impact.” – PopMatters Jul 20, 2021 Full Review The Human Condition 2: The Road to Eternity (1959) 8/10 EDIT “Throughout, small moments of mercy arise...” – PopMatters Jul 20, 2021 Full Review F9 The Fast Saga (2021) 59% 3/4 EDIT “The action isn't so clever or coherent as the merry mayhem Lin unleashed on Tokyo and Rio in previous Fast & Furious films, but the sweet camaraderie between Dom and his loyal cronies endures.” – Willamette Week Jul 8, 2021 Full Review Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) (2021) 99% 3/4 EDIT “The true draw is seeing the kings and queens of R&B, funk, jazz and gospel, all of them at the peak of their considerable careers. They poured every ounce of themselves into their performances that summer and will be blowing minds anew.” – Willamette Week Jul 1, 2021 Full Review My Heart Can't Beat Unless You Tell It To (2020) 98% 6/10 EDIT “It's only Cuartas' sure-handed direction and the fine work of the main trio of actors that keeps the story's conclusion from feeling far less inevitable.” – PopMatters Jun 23, 2021 Full Review Aziz Ansari: Right Now (2019) 84% EDIT “[W]hat [Ansari] does instead is let himself off the hook without extending the same courtesy to the rest of his audience.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Mar 18, 2020 Full Review The Invisible Man (2020) 92% EDIT “This riff on H.G. Wells's sci-fi classic is a slow, steady squeeze from a vise that doesn't release its grip until its final shot.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Mar 3, 2020 Full Review Duran Duran: There's Something You Should Know (2018) 71% EDIT “Something is a bit of pop-star glamour porn... Through that, however, the charm of the group's various members is ever-present, especially the easy rapport they have with each other.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jan 2, 2020 Full Review EDIT “Director Mike Christie does a remarkable job wending in the history of the band, from their origins as members of Joy Division to today, without letting it slow down the momentum of the film.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jan 2, 2020 Full Review Frankie (2019) 57% EDIT “The ensemble drama gets messier and messier, but remains blessedly free of histrionics and showy performances.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Nov 18, 2019 Full Review Loro (2018) 79% EDIT “Through Servillo's impeccable performance, the underlying desperation rises to the surface, overtaking the copious amounts of naked flesh and the slavish worship of wealth that's on display.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Oct 24, 2019 Full Review First Love (2019) 98% EDIT “Miike, though, knows how to mix these elements perfectly, easily weaving the "getting to know you" scenes among all the bullets and beheadings with delightful shreds of comedy.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Sep 30, 2019 Full Review Ready or Not (2019) 89% EDIT “As Ready or Not rolls on, it all becomes much too much of everything-a bit of playful, clever wrestling that, after turning into a full-out brawl, ends messily and ignominiously.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2019 Full Review Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love (2019) 80% EDIT “It's an uneven but affectionate portrait of two people who are drawn together, creating sparks and conflagrations whenever they came into contact.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 14, 2019 Full Review
