RENAISSANCE: A FILM BY BEYONCÉ (2023) 98% EDIT “It’s a celebration of talent, yes, but also of the commitment, the sacrifice, the sheer tenacity required to pull off the illusion of effortlessness.” – Los Angeles Times Nov 28, 2023 Full Review TAYLOR SWIFT | THE ERAS TOUR (2023) 98% EDIT “I couldn’t tell where the crowd noise in the film ended and where the crowd noise around me began.” – Los Angeles Times Nov 8, 2023 Full Review Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry (2021) 96% EDIT “The portrait is of an imaginative, ultra-talented teenager whose poise onstage belies the ordinary insecurities in her head.” – Los Angeles Times Feb 26, 2021 Full Review BLACKPINK: Light Up the Sky (2020) 94% EDIT “What does it mean that Blackpink seems more interesting in a documentary than in the music that led to the doc's creation? Perhaps it's the strategy for survival the women know they'll need.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 14, 2020 Full Review Creem: America's Only Rock 'n' Roll Magazine (2019) 96% EDIT “Yet "Creem..." does so little to showcase Creem's writing... that any viewer who hasn't read dozens of moldy back issues is left to wonder why anybody, inside or outside the magazine's office, would tolerate so much nonsense.” – Los Angeles Times Aug 7, 2020 Full Review Eric Clapton: Life in 12 Bars (2017) 69% EDIT “Clapton simply hasn't anything profound or insightful to say about these episodes that you don't already get from his music.” – Los Angeles Times Feb 14, 2018 Full Review George Michael: Freedom (2017) 69% EDIT “Essentially a glorified sizzle reel stringing together interviews and TV performances any serious fan is likely to have already seen, the documentary does little to deepen our understanding of Michael or his music.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 20, 2017 Full Review Reincarnated (2012) 28% 3/5 EDIT “In its simplest moments ... "Reincarnated" presents an honesty that is its own reward. It shows us an old Dogg with no tricks.” – Los Angeles Times Mar 14, 2013 Full Review Bad 25 (2012) 92% 4/5 EDIT “On-screen, "Bad 25" moves in the style of a great pop song.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 25, 2012 Full Review Just Friends (2005) 43% EDIT “A refreshingly mean-spirited breeze through both the holiday movie and romantic-comedy checklists (including the third-act heart of gold).” – Village Voice Nov 21, 2005 Full Review We Jam Econo: The Story of the Minutemen (2005) 94% EDIT “It's refreshing to see a doc in which the biggest boldfaced name is Flea, who gushes over Watt and Boon's reluctance to tune their instruments.” – Village Voice Aug 23, 2005 Full Review
