---|---|---|---|
9.2/10 | 92% | Elizabeth is Missing (2019) |
The film is a frustrating work in that it details layers and layers of frustration on every front, but it's also simple, beautiful, and effective. Elizabeth may be missing in a tangible sense, but increasingly in her own life, Maud is too. - Paste Magazine

8/10 | 91% | The Elephant Queen (2019) |
The Elephant Queen is messy, but it's still a worthwhile nature watch that educates viewers on how important elephants are to the biomes across which they traverse and why. - Paste Magazine

9.0/10 | 84% | Downton Abbey (2019) |
There are some incredibly funny sequences, a few genuinely heartwarming ones, and so many plots it will nearly make your head spin. But that's the Downton we know and love... - Paste Magazine

3/5 | 71% | Ferrell Takes The Field (2015) |
[Will] Ferrell is still of course very funny. But the short, whirlwind special seems to have left so much on the cutting room floor. - Collider

80% | Patton Oswalt: Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals Time (2014) |
While Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals Time might not be a watershed hour of stand-up -- one that doesn't challenge audiences, break taboos or illuminate ordinary things in a new light -- "Dad" Patton is a decent guy to spend an hour with. - Hollywood Reporter

B+ | 98% | Deadwood: The Movie (2019) |
Deadwood movie's structure mirrors the events of its own story: it's a celebration, a coming together of old friends, a facing down of the past and personal demons, and an acceptance of a new way forward. - Collider

4/5 | 79% | The Child in Time (2018) |
The time motif plays an important and almost supernatural role in the story, but its effects are more poetic than anything. - Collider

91% | Faults (2015) |
Faults is a taught and charismatic work, and also the latest film to tackle the subject of cults in a quietly earnest way. - Collider
