T-Meter | Title | Year | Review | |
---|---|---|---|
2/4 | 46% | Run This Town (2020) |
This is well-trod territory in 2020, explored richly in any number of TV shows and films, and the choice to center Run This Town on Millennial malaise is an odd one. - RogerEbert.com

1.5/4 | 44% | The Kid (2019) |
This relegation of female characters to the sidelines is depressing for a film released in 2019, especially because it seems entirely possible to have a film looking at masculinity without reducing women to archetypes. - RogerEbert.com
