Posted May 08, 2026  Edit critic review
Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) (2026) Avi Offer Well-shot, often exhilarating and illuminating, so even if you're not a fan of the famous musician, you'll learn enough about her to get a sense of what Billie Eilish is like as a human being behind the curtain.
Posted May 08, 2026  Edit critic review

Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review

Posted May 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Influenced (2026) Avi Offer An outrageously funny comedy that's unafraid to be bold, raunchy, satirical and irreverent.
Posted May 06, 2026  Edit critic review
Decorado (2025) Avi Offer A witty, funny and provocative animated film for adults. It's one of the best animated films of the year along with Hoppers.
Posted May 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Louder Than Guns (2024) Avi Offer A timely, but toothless, unfocused, repetitive and oversimplified documentary.
Posted May 04, 2026  Edit critic review

Posted May 04, 2026  Edit critic review

Posted May 04, 2026  Edit critic review
Blue Film (2025) Avi Offer A provocative, unflinching and emotionally devastating drama that's unafraid to look at tough, dark topics head-on. Reed Birney gives one of the best performances of his career. He's just a great as he is in Mass, another powerful film.
Posted May 04, 2026  Edit critic review

Posted Apr 30, 2026  Edit critic review
Departures (2025) Avi Offer Doesn't chart new territory or have anything profound to say about love, loneliness and sexuality. However, there's just enough witty and tender moments along with a heartfelt performance by Lloyd Eyre-Morgan which keeps the movie mildly engaging.
Posted Apr 30, 2026  Edit critic review
Deep Water (2026) Avi Offer A horror thriller that's lean and occasionally exciting, but often clunky, anemic and unscary. Deep Water isn't as awful, cringe-inducing and unintentionally funny as Jaws: The Revenge, but it comes close.
Posted Apr 30, 2026  Edit critic review
Animal Farm (2025) Avi Offer A watered-down adaptation of George Orwell's classic novel. This modern update is less dark, less provocative and more dull and silly.
Posted Apr 30, 2026  Edit critic review

Posted Apr 30, 2026  Edit critic review
The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) Avi Offer A glossy, breezy and harmless dramedy with great costume design, just as expected, but it lacks the razor-sharp wit, snark and bite of the original classic. Your enjoyment of the film will depend on your tolerance for cheesiness.

Posted Apr 20, 2026  Edit critic review
Busboys (2026) Avi Offer A raunchy, irreverent, zany and audacious comedy that's probably best experienced while high or slightly drunk.

Posted Apr 17, 2026  Edit critic review

Posted Apr 14, 2026  Edit critic review

Posted Apr 14, 2026  Edit critic review
