Transformers One (2024) 89% EDIT “This animated prequel is a refreshing entry to the Transformers franchise.” – Chicago Reader Sep 23, 2024 Full Review A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) 86% EDIT “As a franchise prequel, A Quiet Place: Day One doesn’t do enough world-building, but Lupita Nyong’o makes it worth a watch.” – Chicago Reader Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Zoey 102 (2023) 56% EDIT “This revival of Nickelodeon’s Zoey 101 lacks the setting that made the show a hit in the first place.” – Chicago Reader Aug 8, 2023 Full Review Elemental (2023) 73% EDIT “Disney’s latest venture Elemental will make your heart melt, even if it’s not Pixar’s best.” – Chicago Reader Jun 23, 2023 Full Review The Little Mermaid (2023) 67% EDIT “Overall, it’s a visually gorgeous film, buoyed by a strong ingenue in Bailey with enough laughs for the kids and the nostalgic adults—just don’t expect anything new.” – Chicago Reader Jun 3, 2023 Full Review Creed III (2023) 89% EDIT “In his directorial debut, Michael B. Jordan brings a surprisingly heartfelt though formulaic addition to the Rocky franchise.” – Chicago Reader Feb 25, 2023 Full Review Don't Worry Darling (2022) 38% EDIT “Ultimately, Don’t Worry Darling boasts a (mostly) talented cast with a strong start but can’t follow through on its promises.” – Chicago Reader Sep 24, 2022 Full Review Where the Crawdads Sing (2022) 34% EDIT “There are a host of other things wrong with the film, from poor pacing, to a lack of character depth, to heavy-handed themes...but Jones does her best with what she has to work with, and it may still strike an emotional chord if they don’t look closely.” – Chicago Reader Jul 21, 2022 Full Review Lost Illusions (2021) 93% EDIT “Xavier Giannoli’s film is hilarious and always moving with vivid colors and rapid-fire narration that in another movie might feel heavy-handed but here is a guiding force that gives a fascinating quasi-history lesson.” – Chicago Reader Jul 1, 2022 Full Review The Batman (2022) 85% EDIT “Robert Pattinson shuts all his haters up with a vulnerable and terrifying performance in Matt Reeves’s The Batman.” – Chicago Reader Mar 8, 2022 Full Review The Matrix Resurrections (2021) 63% EDIT “The Matrix Resurrections is a breath of fresh air in a time when reboots are a dime a dozen.” – Chicago Reader Dec 23, 2021 Full Review King Richard (2021) 90% EDIT “It's a welcome addition to the biopic genre, buoyed by a career-defining performance from Will Smith.” – Chicago Reader Nov 24, 2021 Full Review Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020) 99% EDIT “Never Rarely Sometimes Always is a slow-moving film, but these young women will stay with you long after the film ends.” – Chicago Reader Jan 26, 2021 Full Review The King of Staten Island (2020) 76% EDIT “Viewers familiar with Davidson's role as a similar good-natured yet immature loafer in 2019's Big Time Adolescence may find the typecasting unoriginal, but the fact of the matter is this: it's a type Davidson shines in.” – Chicago Reader Jun 26, 2020 Full Review The Booksellers (2019) 90% EDIT “For those that can stick it through, they'll find a unique gem of a movie that they might not know they're missing.” – Chicago Reader May 12, 2020 Full Review The Sower (2017) 100% EDIT “If viewers can muster up the patience to stick it out, they'll walk away feeling more than satisfied - and maybe even a little heartbroken.” – Chicago Reader Apr 16, 2020 Full Review The Raft (2018) 90% EDIT “The Raft remains a fascinating look into human relationships that's even more relevant in the wave of sensationalized television.” – Chicago Reader Mar 24, 2020 Full Review Yomeddine (2018) 77% EDIT “Yomeddine surpasses its predictability to become a heartfelt film that hits home.” – Chicago Reader Mar 11, 2020 Full Review Dogman (2018) 84% EDIT “Told through unflinching shots in grayish hues, Matteo Garrone's film keeps viewers holding their breath to the bitter end.” – Chicago Reader Mar 11, 2020 Full Review Blumhouse's Fantasy Island (2020) 9% EDIT “By its end, Fantasy Island is just another cautionary tale against remakes.” – Chicago Reader Mar 6, 2020 Full Review Tyler Perry's A Fall From Grace (2020) 15% EDIT “The film quickly spirals into unstructured, nearly laughable chaos.” – Chicago Reader Mar 6, 2020 Full Review Them That Follow (2019) 59% EDIT “In their directorial debut, Britt Poulton and Dan Madison Savage fail to show the church in a neutral light, choosing instead to lean into a "crazy cult" caricature rather than evenly portray what is already a complex, divisive religious custom.” – Chicago Reader Feb 21, 2020 Full Review I Am Mother (2019) 89% EDIT “Australian filmmaker Grant Sputore's direction keeps viewers on their toes, and we never quite know who to trust.” – Chicago Reader Feb 21, 2020 Full Review Melancholic (2018) 83% EDIT “[Yoji Minagawa is] sulking yet charming.” – Chicago Reader Feb 21, 2020 Full Review Mine 9 (2019) 90% EDIT “Unfortunately, the film begins to lose its once-solid footing in the third act, leading to a rushed and disappointing ending.” – Chicago Reader Feb 20, 2020 Full Review
