Gemini (2017) Kristen Yoonsoo Kim Gemini can prove to be a little bit vapid plot-wise, but the casting of Kirke and Kravitz makes the film addictively watchable.

Pre-Crime (2017) Frederick Blichert It's sleek and stylish, but it's also more than a little creepy, offering aerial shots and satellite surveillance of cities and the people in them. You're made to feel guilty of spying and nervous about being watched all at once.

Signature Move (2017) Frederick Blichert The film's screenwriter and star Fawzia Mirza tells a deceptively straightforward coming-of-age love story. Deceptive in that every little detail communicates so much about the various overlapping identities of each character.

Tragedy Girls (2017) Frederick Blichert It's over the top, but it maintains a sense of real-worldness, making every murder feel that much more resonantand making laughing that much more uncomfortable.

Logan Lucky (2017) Frederick Blichert Logan Lucky is both a portrait of working-class America and a clever bit of wish-fulfillment in which a fundamentally broken but self-perpetuating system is put in its place to the benefit of those in need.

Paradox (2018) Frederick Blichert A weird, messy little movie...its meandering plot is oddly compelling, if unevenly so, propelled by Youngs hypnotic score.

Behind the Curve (2018) Frederick Blichert Behind the Curve offers portraits of flat Earthers as human beings who are worthy of our respect, and it makes a compelling case for empathy and dialogue.

Cam (2018) Frederick Blichert The psychological thriller Cam...turns sex work stereotypes on their heads to tell a chilling story of power and agency.

First Man (2018) Frederick Blichert First Man is a thoughtful, lyrical exploration of masculinity as well as a celebration of human achievement.

Random Acts of Violence (2019) Frederick Blichert Random Acts of Violence has the familiar slasher movie trappings...but theres a freshness to what Baruchel is going for too. A broad attempt to look at how violence manifests, not just within the film but in how were made to confront it as viewers.

Losing Ground (1982) Kristen Yoonsoo Kim The camerawork is as dynamic as the characters: A tracking shot is used for Sara's outdoor walking scene alongside Duke; for Victor, it's a loose, handheld camera.

Gabriel Iglesias: I'm Not Fat... I'm Fluffy (2009) Emerson Rosenthal Iglesias, a.k.a., Fluffy, is one of the biggest-hearted dudes in the game.

The Farewell (2019) Nicole Clark All families are inscrutable in their own ways, and have their own forms of internal culture. It's rare for a film to be able to telegraph just one of these ideas -- and The Farewell stunningly achieves both.

Amazing Grace (2018) Kristen Yoonsoo Kim Even though her legacy has been deeply embedded within pop culture, this is a new side of her that the film lets us witness.
Posted May 31, 2019  Edit critic review
Booksmart (2019) Nicole Clark Booksmart leaves the impression that nothing that happened (or didn't happen) in those four years holds a candle to the strength of the friendship at the film's core.
Posted May 24, 2019  Edit critic review
Wine Country (2019) Alex Zaragoza Wine Country leans into the joy in imbibing with friends, delves into how sharing personal truths speak to the complexity of womanhood and female friendship.
Posted May 23, 2019  Edit critic review
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019) Nicole Clark ...when it isn't fawning over Bundy's more humanistic moments, Extremely Wicked can feel like a heist film.
Posted May 09, 2019  Edit critic review
Guava Island (2019) Taylor Hosking The movie doesn't make the case that Deni and Kofi are specifically supposed to be representing the orishas, but it positions them as the leads of their own modern-day spiritual folktale that carries Black culture forward.
Posted Apr 19, 2019  Edit critic review
The Perfect Date (2019) Nicole Clark Not even Noah Centineo can make this thing less generic.
Posted Apr 18, 2019  Edit critic review
Us (2019) Noel Ransome Peele has managed to map an enemy that exists in all of "us." The enemy of dismissive neglect to problems that persist.
Posted Mar 29, 2019  Edit critic review
The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley (2019) Nicole Clark Our current, numerous retellings of the Theranos tale are just that-retellings. Just because her story is fascinating doesn't mean everyone can fascinatingly tell it, and our own versions have already become generic.
Posted Mar 21, 2019  Edit critic review
Captain Marvel (2019) Nicole Clark It's fun in a predictable sort of way, suggesting a version of female empowerment where overthrowing pedantic men is a tool of heroic development, rather than an activity women do on a daily basis.
Posted Mar 08, 2019  Edit critic review
Cast Away (2000) Miles Howard Wilson jokes aside, Robert Zemeckis's Castaway is a surprisingly haunting movie about what it's like to be alone on a deserted island for a very long time.
Posted Feb 08, 2019  Edit critic review
Alive (1993) Miles Howard I'm not crying. You're crying.
Posted Feb 08, 2019  Edit critic review
The Grey (2012) Miles Howard The Grey is less about the wolves and more about the specter of death that stalks each of the men.
Posted Feb 08, 2019  Edit critic review
The Letter That Was Never Sent (1959) Miles Howard Letter Never Sent is a dark, brooding film that doubles as a subtle parody of Soviet Union ideals like altruism and resolve.
Posted Feb 08, 2019  Edit critic review
Arctic (2018) Miles Howard Incredible but exhausting.
Posted Feb 08, 2019  Edit critic review
The Favourite (2018) Lauren O'Neill The Favourite, in and with its own female gaze, is committed to exposing the rituals and expected aesthetics and emotions of womanhood to great payoff.
Posted Jan 18, 2019  Edit critic review
Mary Poppins Returns (2018) Nicole Clark It's this attention to detail that makes Mary Poppins Returns sing. It exists within a very prescriptive formula, faithfully recreating the cinematic techniques of the time.
Posted Dec 14, 2018  Edit critic review
Tyrel (2018) Taylor Hosking The whole point of the movie seems to dissolve. The subtle racism comes off as inconsequential, and perhaps incapable of carrying a film in its bare bones form.
Posted Dec 14, 2018  Edit critic review
Creed II (2018) Noel Ransome Creed II, like previous installments, embraces the themes that Sylvester Stallone wrote with a harmony, bringing simple-as-hell solutions to emotionally complicated problems.
Posted Nov 30, 2018  Edit critic review
Green Book (2018) Noel Ransome The Green Book felt like another degree of condescension for the self-congratulatory, Trump-condemning, "colorblind" viewer who consumes their racism with a side of mayo. And speaking as a black viewer, I don't have time for it.
Posted Nov 21, 2018  Edit critic review
Outside The Bubble: On The Road With Alexandra Pelosi (2018) Taylor Hosking Since Pelosi is openly liberal with familial ties to the Democratic establishment, it's even harder to take the film's supposed non-judgmental exploration at face value.

Burning (2018) Nicole Clark The Murakami adaptation seethes and slithers and induces an incredible amount of dread.
Posted Nov 02, 2018  Edit critic review
Beautiful Boy (2018) Anna Iovine Watch it to remind yourself that there are millions of stories like Nic's, but they won't have the opportunity to be made into books or films.
Posted Oct 18, 2018  Edit critic review
Hold the Dark (2018) Alexander Norcia A nearly biblical tale-of man against nature, light against dark-and, really, that's about all left to say. To explain more-to try to explain more-would ruin the story's mythic power.
Posted Oct 12, 2018  Edit critic review
A Star Is Born (2018) Kara Weisenstein The chemistry between them is palpable and impressive, especially considering this is Gaga's first major acting gig-a fact I kept forgetting, remembering, and being amazed by throughout the film.
Posted Oct 10, 2018  Edit critic review
Matangi/Maya/M.I.A. (2018) Rod Bastanmehr The film is a traditional portrait of an untraditional artist, culled together from years of intimate footage, much of it recorded by M.I.A. herself, and crafted into just one of the many possible narratives that could have taken shape.
Posted Oct 10, 2018  Edit critic review
Quincy (2018) Taylor Hosking Whether stoking chemistry between bebop musicians and hip-hop artists, or coaxing a shy Michael Jackson out of his shell, Jones perfected the art of setting musicians up for success, then letting nature take its course.
Posted Oct 10, 2018  Edit critic review
Venom (2018) Noel Ransome A half-empty, backwashed dose of Sierra Mist. It's bad, and not in an adorable sort of way.
Posted Oct 10, 2018  Edit critic review
Nappily Ever After (2018) Taylor Hosking If you can get through the cringe-worthy meltdowns and surface-level romantic scenes, Nappily Ever After has something to offer in the way of exploring parents' responsibility in crafting their children's perception of their hair.
Posted Sep 27, 2018  Edit critic review
Colette (2018) Nicole Clark It is time for women to hold the pens that write history. Thank goodness that story has finally been brought to screen.
Posted Sep 20, 2018  Edit critic review
Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018) Karen Han Melissa McCarthy's performance as the prickly author Lee Israel is further proof of McCarthy's status as a force of nature-to be matched only by Richard E. Grant as her partner in crime, Jack Hock.
Posted Sep 20, 2018  Edit critic review
Halloween (2018) Karen Han Though there's certainly a little fat around the edges-the film doesn't skimp on laughs amidst all the scares-it's a small price to pay for the truly galvanizing finale, in which three generations of Strode women throw down against the boogeyman.
Posted Sep 20, 2018  Edit critic review
Black '47 (2018) Karen Han Lean, mean, and singular in the way it mixes genres as well as in its subject matter.
Posted Sep 20, 2018  Edit critic review
The Sisters Brothers (2018) Karen Han The Sisters Brothers is easily the strangest, saddest, and sweetest Western you'll ever see.
Posted Sep 20, 2018  Edit critic review
The Old Man & the Gun (2018) Karen Han The great pleasure of the film is its metatextual layers, as the legends of Forrest's exploits seem to meld with those of Redford himself.
Posted Sep 20, 2018  Edit critic review
Shoplifters (2018) Karen Han One of the best films at TIFF this year, if not simply one of the best films of the year, period.
Posted Sep 20, 2018  Edit critic review
Sierra Burgess Is a Loser (2018) Shailee Koranne While the insensitive jokes are uncomfortable aspects of the story itself, Sierra's character moves from complex to generally unlikeable.
Posted Sep 13, 2018  Edit critic review
If Beale Street Could Talk (2018) Noel Ransome To put it bluntly, Jenkins adapted something that I feel to my core is the most raw understanding of black romance on screen.
