Love, Brooklyn (2025) 69% EDIT “The energy from the film evaporated -- it just needed something more.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Hamilton (2020) 98% EDIT “The camera here is so much more sophisticated and intricate than pretty much any stage production I've seen filmed, and that is to its credit.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Tinā (2024) 95% EDIT “It manages to be both familiar and entirely different... It taught me about a culture I didn't know much about and opened my eyes to a different experience.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Preparation for the Next Life (2025) 97% EDIT “It could have been more connected narratively, but it was beautifully told and for most part moving.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Twinless (2025) 97% EDIT “Such an effective black comedy. It melds so many different themes: grief, longing, loss, the need to connect, against a really well-developed character arc.” – FilmWeek (LAist) Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Lost & Found in Cleveland (2024) EDIT “For a standard comedy, this really wasn't that bad. Surprisingly entertaining. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% EDIT “This film managed to reduce [important historical subject matter] to rote, cliché courtroom drama... It wants to be more, could have been more, and should have been more. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% EDIT “I wish I could recommend it. I do respect Lynne Ramsay... but this one I did not care for. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 95% EDIT “Absolutely poetic, beautiful, elegiac and unlike any film I've seen in quite some time. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% EDIT “I liked this film, I respected this film, I admired this film, but I didn't love this film. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% EDIT “Not only is a super fun action film with great set pieces and pretty ingenious action choreography, but it also has a surprising amount of heart. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) Nov 10, 2025 Full Review The Surfer (2024) 84% EDIT “A bizarre, fascinating and cool look at toxic masculinity and indictment of capitalism. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 22, 2025 Full Review Havoc (2025) 64% EDIT “While the story of a jaded cop trying to make things right would be interesting, particularly in the hands of Tom Hardy, director Gareth Evans doesn't really allow him the room to explore that character.” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 22, 2025 Full Review Rust (2024) 58% EDIT “On its own merits, it's a pretty good Western.” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 22, 2025 Full Review Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% EDIT “More entertaining than I expected it to be -- maybe more than it had any right to be.” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 22, 2025 Full Review Henry Johnson (2025) 62% EDIT “Shia LaBeouf gives a tremendous performance. He feels very full of fire. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 19, 2025 Full Review Pets (2025) 82% EDIT “This is endearing, cutesy, annoyingly mawkish at times but so sweet. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 13, 2025 Full Review One to One: John & Yoko (2024) 90% EDIT “If you're a Beatles fan, this is compulsive viewing. If you're not, it's an interesting look at the early 1970s. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 13, 2025 Full Review The Amateur (2025) 62% EDIT “An engaging and entertaining action-thriller. A lot of credit is due to Rami Malek. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 13, 2025 Full Review Warfare (2025) 92% EDIT “The sort of film where you're reverberating after it because it's just so powerful. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 13, 2025 Full Review Audrey's Children (2024) 81% EDIT “I thought her story was more interesting than the film. Perhaps she deserved a better one. It wasn't horrible, just very standard, by-the-book. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 13, 2025 Full Review Being Maria (2024) 60% EDIT “In terms of showing what being bossed around by men can do to a young woman, it was really powerful.” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 13, 2025 Full Review The Penguin Lessons (2024) 78% EDIT “In trying to be all things to all audiences, it became not enough to any of them.” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 13, 2025 Full Review Thank You Very Much (2023) 91% EDIT “An excellent documentary and important look at the career of Andy Kaufman. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 13, 2025 Full Review The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025) 96% EDIT “Strikes the right tonal balance between comedy and tragic underpinnings. ” – FilmWeek (LAist) May 13, 2025 Full Review
