4.5/5
Baby Driver (2017) Ankit Ojha Effortlessly shifting gears between frenetic and free-flowing, Wright brings together an exciting action-comedy through an intricately choreographed musical.

All Eyez on Me (2017) Ankit Ojha Your Eyez deserve better than this.

Focus (2015) Ankit Ojha There’s a good movie hidden somewhere in "Focus."

Nude Tuesday (2022) Ankit Ojha Something this—for the lack of a better term—outta pocket shouldn’t work, and yet, it does.

4/5
Good Boy (2025) Ankit Ojha Leonberg is arguably among this year’s freshest voices—not just in horror, but in cinema as a whole—and his debut makes for a consistently interesting and engaging work of art.

3/5
Heads of State (2025) Ankit Ojha For a movie with a logline that sounds like no laughing matter, “Heads of State” comes off surprisingly funny and lands its inventive visual gags gracefully.

Sikandar (2025) Ankit Ojha To put it bluntly, the bar for masala films is on the floor here.

4.5/5
Nosferatu (2024) Ankit Ojha Those who have seen Murnau’s silent film would already know what to expect by the end. What makes a difference, however, is the satisfying fashion in which its many plot devices, both big and small, pay off.

3/5
Baby John (2024) Ankit Ojha Despite the bumps on the road, “Baby John” is a darn good time out.

4.5/5
Trap (2024) Ankit Ojha ["Trap"] is a phenomenally filmed psychological thriller that’s equal parts tragic character study, concert film, and inverse detective story neatly rolled into one fantastic joint.

5/5
Rebel Moon - Part Two: Director's Cut (2024) Ankit Ojha “Rebel Moon – Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness” is bone-crunching, heartwrenching, and chest-thumping madness that tears at you emotionally while its characters tear at each other limb from limb.

5/5
Rebel Moon - Part One: Director's Cut (2024) Ankit Ojha Packed with a raw sincerity that feels very human, “Rebel Moon – Chapter One: Chalice of Blood” is a breathtaking exercise in immersive storytelling that uses every second of its 204-minute runtime to build a successful image system for its narrative.

4.5/5
Daddio (2023) Ankit Ojha It looks like an unassuming little film on the outside, but “Daddio” is a stunning exercise in empathy, regret, and catharsis—all in the course of a cab drive that lasts as long as the film itself.

0.5/5
Walk of Shame (2014) Ankit Ojha Brill phenomenally wastes the proven comedic chops of Banks, Gillian Jacobs (“Community,” 2009-present), and Sarah Wright (“Celeste and Jesse Forever,” 2012) toward jokes without timing, a punchline, or even chuckle-worthy insight.
Posted Jul 30, 2024  Edit critic review
3/5
The Divergent Series: Insurgent (2015) Ankit Ojha While it doesn’t feel any less derivative compared to the first film, “Insurgent” benefits from [Robert] Schewntke’s trademark visually expansive and action-packed direction and the breakneck pace in its screenplay.
Posted Jul 28, 2024  Edit critic review
1.5/5
And So It Goes (2014) Ankit Ojha From the perspective of technical craft, nothing really seems out of place. None of it seems to help the frustratingly uninspired narrative, however, turning “And So It Goes” into a largely inoffensive but depressingly fruitless viewing experience.
Posted Jul 26, 2024  Edit critic review
2/5
The BFG (2016) Ankit Ojha It looks Big and Friendly, but Steven Spielberg’s newest film isn’t the cinematic Giant it could have been.
Posted Jul 25, 2024  Edit critic review
4.5/5
The Wind Rises (2013) Ankit Ojha “The Wind Rises” is, fortunately, the perfect sum of each of its specific, lovingly crafted aspects.
Posted Jul 20, 2024  Edit critic review
2/5
Love, Rosie (2014) Ankit Ojha ["Love, Rosie"] could have been perfect comfort food but ends up being a frustrating collection of could haves, should haves, and would haves.

3.5/5
Veronica Mars (2014) Ankit Ojha For what it’s worth, “Veronica Mars” feels almost like an organic follow-up to its preceding television series.
Posted Jul 12, 2024  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Divergent (2014) Ankit Ojha Unfortunately, [director Neil Burger] succeeds despite the screenwriting by Vanessa Taylor and Evan Daugherty, and not because of it.

4.5/5
The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) Ankit Ojha “The Grand Budapest Hotel” may be an audiovisual feast, but what makes it an artistic marvel is that its dynamic style enhances the narrative’s focus on its primary characters through different decades.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
4.5/5
Edge of Tomorrow (2014) Ankit Ojha “Edge of Tomorrow” is a brilliantly written, acted, and directed sci-fi action film that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
4/5
The Rover (2014) Ankit Ojha On paper, it sounds like your everyday revenge drama [...] but writer-director Michôd ensures, from its opening shot to its last second, that the film is anything but.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
4.5/5
Gone Girl (2014) Ankit Ojha The makers want you to relax—maybe even curse under your breath—and feel like you’re in control until they rudely pull the rug off your feet.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
3.5/5
The Judge (2014) Ankit Ojha [...] as predictable as it sounds, “The Judge” is anything but that. The film might be a family drama, but it’s refreshingly adult [...] and filled with surprising emotional honesty.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
4/5
Fury (2014) Ankit Ojha Ayer wants you to empathize with the psychological damage war causes those thrust into it but doesn’t let that veer him away from letting you know that none of these characters—apart from Norman to an extent—are likable or remotely good people.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
4/5
John Wick (2014) Ankit Ojha Ultimately, “John Wick” is a testament to the fact that plots don’t matter; it’s how stories are told that actually does. The film knows precisely what kind of movie it is: one that kicks serious ass and provides moviegoers a fantastic time out.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
3/5
Roy (2015) Ankit Ojha Could it have been a whole lot more than it is? Absolutely. But what it is in its current form is a flawed but endlessly fascinating film that deserves a lot of love.

4.5/5
'71 (2014) Ankit Ojha “‘71” wastes no time, throwing you right in the middle of the action, and never lets go for a single second throughout its 99-minute runtime.

2/5
Kidnapping Mr. Heineken (2015) Ankit Ojha [...] as a result, viewers end up with a “thriller” that cannot thrill, despite the actual account of events being the perfect foundation for a potential banger.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
4.5/5
It Follows (2014) Ankit Ojha Filled to the brim with technical and narrative mastery, David Robert Mitchell’s sophomore feature “It Follows” screams success, both as a horror film and an art form with a voice.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
4.5/5
Ex Machina (2014) Ankit Ojha Alex Garland’s cerebral sci-fi feels a lot like an Asimov novel—ironic, considering the movie actively defies Asimov’s own rules of robotics.

2.5/5
Escobar: Paradise Lost (2014) Ankit Ojha “Escobar: Paradise Lost” has many well-written, acted, and directed scenes. Unfortunately, it’s all they are: a disconnected and randomized compilation of brilliant scenes, the sum of whose parts don’t form a satisfying whole.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
4.5/5
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015) Ankit Ojha True to the title of its series, “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation” banks on the impossible and gives the fans what they want: a slew of larger-than-life set pieces for an overall moviegoing experience that’s just built different.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
3/5
We Are Your Friends (2015) Ankit Ojha “We Are Your Friends” is, at the end of the day, a harmless movie that’s difficult to strongly recommend, but one I’d encourage readers to take on a spin once.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
4.5/5
Bridge of Spies (2015) Ankit Ojha Boasting a deliberate and measured direction of tack-sharp screenplay, it smoothly coasts through themes of privilege, rights, and repute, balancing each in its subtext without making them feel like incomplete lip-service throwaways.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Brooklyn (2015) Ankit Ojha ["Brooklyn" is] s a gorgeous filmgoing experience that draws you into the life of its protagonist and her existential trysts as an immigrant and—before that—in her stifling social structure.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
4/5
10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) Ankit Ojha [...] this is a film that gleefully revels in its own expressionist undertones, and the fact that it’s a part of the “Cloverfield” universe only goes to benefit from that.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
4.5/5
Arrival (2016) Ankit Ojha Without spoiling too much, let’s just say Villeneuve and Heisserer use the Kuleshov effect to turn the non-linear storytelling of “Arrival” from a gimmick to an indispensable part of the film.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
4/5
Split (2017) Ankit Ojha It may not be as perfect as “Unbreakable,” [but] it dazzles and terrifies you enough to think about the many emotional implications of its three central characters.

4.5/5
Colossal (2016) Ankit Ojha Nacho Vigalondo’s latest is a film that’s equal parts indie rom-com, psychological horror, and monster-movie seems never to miss a single step.

4/5
Lady Bird (2017) Ankit Ojha Greta Gerwig is on fire—if her filmography isn’t proof enough of her seemingly limitless talent, “Lady Bird” will be.

4/5
Before We Vanish (2017) Ankit Ojha You’ll love the aliens—even root real hard for them—more than you will the humans (predictably, but also, “welcome to urf”), and that’s more than anybody can say for a whole bunch of humans-are-worse-than-aliens narratives we’ve seen before.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
4.5/5
Isle of Dogs (2018) Ankit Ojha The USP of Wes Anderson’s films is to turn even the most tried-and-tested indie narrative tropes into a borderline-absurdist adventure. “Isle of Dogs” feels right at home with the rest of his work.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
4.5/5
A Quiet Place (2018) Ankit Ojha A Quiet Place boasts unwavering focus, an incredibly built image system, and some of the best sound-design works I have seen in a horror film so far.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
4.5/5
The Endless (2017) Ankit Ojha In trademark Benson-Moorhead fashion, the film is a genre-fluid experience that boldly chooses not to be bound by horror restrictions, instead allowing its viewers to relate to the emotion that hits home the hardest.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
4/5
Adrift (2018) Ankit Ojha Baltasar Kormákur’s latest is gripping—often heart-wrenching—as a survival drama, but works as effectively as a sweeping romance, thanks to its two exceptionally talented leading actors.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Ocean's 8 (2018) Ankit Ojha Warts and all, “Ocean’s 8” is just that—a lot of guilt-free fun; quite a surprise, considering the qualitative track record of most comeback sequels we’ve gotten so far.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) Ankit Ojha “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” is a blast (on the most giant screen possible), but with weak foundations, it’s hard not to feel disappointed and wonder what could have been.
