Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020) 99% 4.5/5 EDIT “Never Rarely Sometimes Always shows with such clarity that there is a world of women's stories existing underneath the surface that desperately need to be told.” – Curtsies and Hand Grenades May 31, 2020 Full Review Swallow (2019) 87% 2/5 EDIT “Mirabella-Davis tells this story without the need for transgression or complications, which makes Swallow begin to feel like a carnival sideshow.” – Curtsies and Hand Grenades May 31, 2020 Full Review The Invisible Man (2020) 92% 3.5/5 EDIT “The most dazzling aspect of The Invisible Man is the long stretches of silence where the visual grammar forces viewers to really analyze what's happening in the frame.” – Curtsies and Hand Grenades May 31, 2020 Full Review A Star Is Born (2018) 90% 4.5/5 EDIT “Like all the best love stories their relationship reaches out beyond the screen, and asks the audience to experience the highs and lows, as if they were these characters.” – Curtsies and Hand Grenades Jan 3, 2020 Full Review Destination Wedding (2018) 51% 3/5 EDIT “If you enter with the intention to get down on the level of Destination Wedding's debased sewer-bile dialogue you will be rewarded with a deranged symphony of laughter.” – Curtsies and Hand Grenades Jan 3, 2020 Full Review Halloween (2018) 79% 1/5 EDIT “Halloween is merely a short-cut for the same boring "strong-female lead" characterizations we've been seeing for the better part of twenty years now.” – Curtsies and Hand Grenades Jan 3, 2020 Full Review Black Christmas (2019) 41% 3.5/5 EDIT “The #MeToo movement was a primal scream that rose up from the throats of women. Black Christmas is an echo of that initial feeling.” – MUBI Jan 3, 2020 Full Review Halloween II (2009) 24% 5/5 EDIT “This is a slasher film that aches. There is no enjoyment in the bloodshed here. Only sorrow and Zombie's attention to the psychological effects of violence prove masterful.” – MUBI Nov 4, 2019 Full Review Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood (2019) 86% 5/5 EDIT “Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is bold, and exciting, a fantasia of a dead Hollywood brought to life in rich detail.” – Curtsies and Hand Grenades Nov 4, 2019 Full Review John Wick: Chapter 3 -- Parabellum (2019) 89% 4/5 EDIT “The John Wick films are changing the language of action cinema by embracing MMA, first person shooter video games and Judo."” – Curtsies and Hand Grenades Nov 4, 2019 Full Review J.T. LeRoy (2018) 55% EDIT “The scripting problems overshadow what could be a complex examination of identity in an age when identity was set in stone for the most part.” – MUBI Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Perfect Blue (1997) 84% 5/5 EDIT “Perfect Blue is an apocalyptic slasher, the ultimate crystallization of everything we came to fear about the internet before it became synonymous with living.” – Curtsies and Hand Grenades Mar 9, 2019 Full Review Cold War (2018) 92% EDIT “Their love was meant to be one for the ages, but sometimes shit happens.” – MUBI Mar 8, 2019 Full Review Ghost in the Shell (1995) 95% 5/5 EDIT “Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell will always strike a chord with those directly affected by bodily displacement.” – RogerEbert.com Mar 8, 2019 Full Review Soni (2018) 82% D EDIT “I'm unsure if any version of this script could have lifted the lifeless decision to shoot the film in many, separate tracking long takes, because it is so overwhelmingly distracting that it renders everything going on in the film mute.” – The Film Stage Sep 12, 2018 Full Review Madeline's Madeline (2018) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Helena Howard is the real deal, and so is Madeline. That this is her first performance is nothing short of revolutionary.” – MUBI Aug 10, 2018 Full Review Sheikh Jackson (2017) 77% EDIT “... lived-in power comes through in Sheikh Jackson, despite its shortcomings.” – Cinema Scope Jan 4, 2018 Full Review Waru (2017) 100% EDIT “Beyond its formal ingenuity, Waru is a clarion call for Maori culture (and New Zealand as a whole) to heal itself in the face of a national crisis.” – Cinema Scope Dec 14, 2017 Full Review Minotaur (Minotauro) (2015) EDIT “Although there's a lot to be admired here, like the stunning imagery, [Nicolás] Pereda's feature feels too wayward to leave any distinct imprint.” – Seventh Row Aug 14, 2017 Full Review 88:88 (2015) 4.5/5 EDIT “88:88 feels incredibly of the moment, but it will last - not as an activist film exclusively, but as something so much more. Something beautifully human. Something to be looked at years from now as a significant work of experimental cinema.” – Seventh Row Aug 14, 2017 Full Review Fire Song (2015) 88% EDIT “It's confident, fresh cinema that rarely falters.” – Seventh Row Jul 20, 2017 Full Review
