| 99% | The Fight (2020) |

Sir is a cinematic triumph. Gera and Shome compromise nothing in a full and poignant portrayal of India's working class, without turning Ashwin and his social strata into caricatures of wealthy, Anglicized demons. - Mashable

| 69% | Moxie (2021) |
The "Moxie" girls are both sweet and unapologetic; while it's frustrating to see them face old biases and outdated systems, these obstacles have persisted for as long as the fight for gender equality, and these girls are readier than ever to rise up. - Mashable

| 80% | I Care a Lot (2021) |
The finale is a head scratcher... and you're left thinking about individual moments and performances rather than the whole; those separate pieces are great, but the net result is just fine - Mashable

| 44% | Holidate (2020) |
Like all Netflix rom-coms, Holidate has a quirky and promising premise, but what sets it apart from some more recent debacles is that it actually pulls this off. - Mashable

| 56% | Love, Guaranteed (2020) |
Cook stuffs herself into the constricting role, but not a single character in this movie has dimension enough to be anything close to real - or more importantly, anything close to entertaining. - Mashable

| 81% | Let It Snow (2019) |
Let It Snow has charm aplenty, but with so many plates spinning its hard to elicit a huge emotional investment, as with Netflix's own To All the Boys I've Loved Before. But it's okay to not fall for all of these love stories. - Mashable

It's a nostalgia trip, not for the 20th century, but for the sweet, simpler time of 2015. I'll receive that, and any gratuitous sequels, like a royal visit. - Mashable

It's not clamoring to make a statement - and in doing so, it's saying what needs to be said more concisely than almost anyone working in news or politics. - Mashable
