73% | Black Box (2020) |
There's so little to say about Black Box's characters or themes because the script is wearily ornamented around a single, lackluster twist. - Pajiba

97% | The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open (2019) |
When a movie is packed with this much craft and topical import...I feel obligated as a film fan to tell as many people as possible about the cinematic experience they may be missing out on. - Birth.Movies.Death.

83% | Queen & Slim (2019) |
The film wants so badly to inspire and impart meaning that it forgets to include interiority and nuance. - Birth.Movies.Death.

91% | Burning Cane (2019) |
At nineteen years old, Phillip Youmans has made an authentic drama that a lot of indie directors would still be striving for on their second or third feature. - Birth.Movies.Death.

90% | Blood Quantum (2020) |
One reason why Jeff Barnaby's First Nations zombie-fighting thriller Blood Quantum is so magnificent is because it blends a well-worn genre with a refreshing, lived-in sense of indigenous heritage. - Birth.Movies.Death.

63% | Motherless Brooklyn (2019) |
Unfortunately, Norton's noir opus is a mixed bag of big ideas and generic themes, stifled by an even more generic presentation. - Birth.Movies.Death.

86% | Zombi Child (2020) |
Zombi Child ends strongly, telling a powerful story of generational trauma, and re-codifying the meaning of the zombie for new thematic resonance. - Birth.Movies.Death.

79% | The Platform (El Hoyo) (2020) |
The Platform is my favorite kind of genre film: one that presents a completely fantastical idea, grounds it with a kind of internal logic, and then propels that idea to its psychological and emotional extremes. - Birth.Movies.Death.

55% | The Antenna (Bina) (2020) |
The Antenna is way too simple to warrant the time and attention it begs of its audience. - Birth.Movies.Death.

58% | In the Shadow of the Moon (2019) |
The most troubling part about In the Shadow of the Moon is how boring it is, but coming in at a close second is its dreadful thematic content. - Birth.Movies.Death.

87% | 1BR (2020) |
1BR is the type of horror film that I live for, one that's grounded in character, with tense, dramatically unfolding set-pieces, and scenes that make me squirm with equal parts terror and delight. - Birth.Movies.Death.

26% | Killerman (2019) |
Without the interesting character work or genuine misanthropy of those films, the grittiness of this Liam Hemsworth-vehicle just isn't that convincing. - Birth.Movies.Death.
