Age of Audio (2025) Lisa Laman The enthusiasm the various interview subjects have for this topic, not to mention the breezy succinct pacing, keeps Age of Audio amiable.

Natchez (2025) Lisa Laman Such compelling moments make this a terrific documentary profiling the contrasts between citizens forced to recognize reality and privileged wealthy souls who can opt into harmful fantasy.

F1 The Movie (2025) Lisa Laman F1's most egregious shortcoming, though, is its writing.
Posted Jun 27, 2025  Edit critic review
The Specials (2000) Lisa Laman The rest of The Specials isn’t anywhere near as good as either Mazin or Gunn’s later best works.
Posted Jun 26, 2025  Edit critic review

The Life of Chuck (2024) Lisa Laman It’s not easy to navigate this complex, conflicting reality. But it is often a beautiful thing. The Life of Chuck is that kind of beautiful.
Posted Jun 17, 2025  Edit critic review
Elio (2025) Lisa Laman Elio’s requisite climactic sentimentality is never unexpected, but it still works nicely.
Posted Jun 17, 2025  Edit critic review
Come and See (1985) Lisa Laman Come and See is a nightmare. It’s a rare film, along with select company like Lost Highway, unnervingly accurate in mimicking the powerlessness and ceaseless torment of the worst nighttime experiences.

Penguin's Memory: A Tale of Happiness (1985) Lisa Laman Constant creative chutzpah, palpable love for these animated birds, and glorious visuals turn Penguin's Memory: Shiawase Monogatari into a must-see proposition.

The Phoenician Scheme (2025) Lisa Laman Wes Anderson’s reliably entertaining (not to mention visually stunning) sensibilities are more appreciated than ever....especially since he brought Michael Cera along for this ride.

Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) Lisa Laman Predator: Killer of Killers is a commendably entertaining outing.
Posted Jun 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Ballerina (2025) Lisa Laman Reliably strong work from Ana de Armas and some fun action beats cannot keep this spin-off from ultimately underwhelming.
Posted Jun 05, 2025  Edit critic review
Pavements (2024) Lisa Laman Certainly, elements of it are more interesting to analyze than to watch. However, as a music ignoramus, Pavements did have me often going “wowee zowee.”

4/5
Bono: Stories of Surrender (2025) Veronica Elizabeth Bruno It’s so well executed that no matter how you feel about Bono himself, that you can’t help enjoying the telling of his story.

Dangerous Animals (2025) Lisa Laman I would've vastly preferred getting some memorably outlandish oceanic carnage rather than something alternating between unpleasantness and monotony.
Posted Jun 03, 2025  Edit critic review
Piglet (2025) Gwyn Duffy Despite strenuous objections to its existence, if you're a little strange and loved Winnie the Pooh, this film might deserve a spot on your twisted and totally strange horror shelf.
Posted Jun 03, 2025  Edit critic review
Karate Kid: Legends (2025) Lisa Laman Shockingly flat imagery and countless uninspired pop song needle drops are just some of the problems underscoring this forgettable misfire.

4.5/5
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) Veronica Elizabeth Bruno Cruise and McQuarrie have created an adrenalin masterclass in real-world action that deserves to be experienced on the largest screen you can find.

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) Meg Dowell The Final Reckoning is a much-needed reminder that movies don't always have to make sense. In fact, sometimes movies are best when they don't. T

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) Lisa Laman When The Final Reckoning leans into just being silly fun, McQuarrie and company are in rare form.
Posted May 28, 2025  Edit critic review
Caught by the Tides (2024) Lisa Laman Tides constantly reflects through visually and narratively emphasizing the vulnerability of ordinary souls like Qiao Qiao. Such images are full of fascinating aching pain, as are the unseen and unspoken parts of the film’s primary relationship.
Posted May 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Friendship (2024) Lisa Laman Beyond that killer cast and sharp visual sensibilities, Friendship’s greatest distinguishing trait from many recent comedy movies is how funny it is.
Posted May 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Bring Her Back (2025) Lisa Laman Despite a richly human Sally Hawkins performance, Bring Her Back’s stabs at pathos needed rewrites. At least the feature’s practical effects and shock value grotesquerie are killer
Posted May 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Lilo & Stitch (2025) Lisa Laman Lilo & Stitch is dead set on realizing countless half-hearted retreads of scenes from the original animated classic. So rigidly emulating the past only heightens the specific egregious visual shortcomings of this production.
Posted May 20, 2025  Edit critic review
Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) Lisa Laman This is a standalone feature with distinctly individual charms compared to the previous Final Destination entries.
Posted May 19, 2025  Edit critic review
Deaf President Now! (2025) Lisa Laman While the documentaries visual scheme and approach to politics is familiar, Deaf President’s stories and interview subjects are divinely idiosyncratic.
Posted May 19, 2025  Edit critic review
The Accountant 2 (2025) Lisa Laman Lacking subversiveness just makes it hard to differentiate The Accountant 2 from similar films of its ilk.
Posted May 12, 2025  Edit critic review
Fight or Flight (2024) Lisa Laman Fight or Flight is a shockingly unengaging exercise.
Posted May 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Sharp Corner (2024) Lisa Laman Still, for thriller fans unaware of Foster’s filmography, Sharp Corner’s proficient qualities will make for an amiable watch.
Posted May 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Clown in a Cornfield (2025) Lisa Laman The incarnation hitting theaters, though, still has its grisly pleasures.
Posted May 07, 2025  Edit critic review
The Ugly Stepsister (2025) Lisa Laman The Ugly Stepsister, like any quality feature, blends past pop culture influences into something unabashedly singular.
Posted May 05, 2025  Edit critic review
The Surfer (2024) Lisa Laman At its best, The Surfer approximates a beachside nightmare while channeling realities' lunacies that we all take for granted.
Posted May 05, 2025  Edit critic review
April (2024) Lisa Laman This is only Kulumbegashvili's second feature-length movie, yet she imbues April with the imagery prowess of a seasoned pro.
Posted Apr 30, 2025  Edit critic review
The Legend of Ochi (2025) Lisa Laman Between the pleasing color palette and impressive practical effects work, The Legend of Ochi certainly has striking imagery to spare.

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) Lisa Laman At its silliest or most bombastic, Revenge of the Sith really soars.
Posted Apr 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Thunderbolts* (2025) Lisa Laman On the other hand, on its own merits, Thunderbolts* is a surprisingly engaging production getting a lot of mileage out of a more low-key aesthetic and some strong performances.
Posted Apr 29, 2025  Edit critic review
The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025) Lisa Laman Still, lovely island scenery and some great vocals do help compensate for the shortcomings.
Posted Apr 28, 2025  Edit critic review
Neighborhood Watch (2025) Jennifer Renson Neighborhood Watch is a must-see, whether you are into thrillers or not.
Posted Apr 25, 2025  Edit critic review

Posted Apr 23, 2025  Edit critic review
On Swift Horses (2024) Lisa Laman Minihan has delivered a feature that never soars as either a steamy romantic drama or a meditative contemplation of suppressed desire.
Posted Apr 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Sinners (2025) Lisa Laman Sinners, meanwhile, is a lavish accomplishment bursting with confident personality.
Posted Apr 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Thank You Very Much (2023) Lisa Laman Still an engaging motion picture especially excelling in eschewing concrete answers about this comedy legend.
Posted Apr 14, 2025  Edit critic review
Freaky Tales (2024) Lisa Laman Bursting with imagination and fun, including how it refuses to stay confined to one genre for long. That’s a freaky good accomplishment!
Posted Apr 14, 2025  Edit critic review
Drop (2025) Lisa Laman While Drop is sometimes downright terrible in its editing and cinematography, it’s nonetheless serviceable as a fun Saturday night thriller.
Posted Apr 11, 2025  Edit critic review
The Luckiest Man in America (2024) Lisa Laman If there’s any actor that really keeps The Luckiest Man in America from succumbing to its most generic qualities, it’s Paul Walter Hauser.
