Flags of Our Fathers (2006) 76% EDIT “Eastwood's landmark movie documents the waste and folly of what they [Bradley, Gagnon and Hayes] went through, from the battle campaign to the marketing campaign. All of it is a tragic story magnificently told.” – Seven Days (VT) Nov 11, 2023 Full Review Gladiator (2000) 80% 4/4 EDIT “A mountain, a fever dream, an epic poem of a motion picture. Equal parts Ben-Hur and Braveheart, it is a victory not likely to be equaled any time soon. ” – Seven Days (VT) Nov 1, 2022 Full Review Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) 54% EDIT “It just goes on and on, without generating suspense or building excitement.” – Seven Days (VT) Jun 4, 2020 Full Review Big Time Adolescence (2019) 86% 4.5/5 EDIT “Enormously entertaining.” – Seven Days (VT) Mar 25, 2020 Full Review The Hunt (2020) 57% EDIT “Given what's going on in the world, who isn't up for an hour and a half of absorbingly inventive, distractingly deranged film fun? The big surprise when it comes to The Hunt is just that.” – Seven Days (VT) Mar 18, 2020 Full Review The Way Back (2020) 84% 2/5 EDIT “In addition to being dull, derivative and undistinguished by contributions either in front of or behind the camera, the film is insufferably pandering and disingenuous.” – Seven Days (VT) Mar 11, 2020 Full Review The Invisible Man (2020) 92% 5/5 EDIT “The movie has so much going for it.” – Seven Days (VT) Mar 5, 2020 Full Review Buffaloed (2019) 80% 1/5 EDIT “The blame for this exercise in pointlessness can be allotted fairly equally, I think, between [director Tanya] Wexler and screenwriter/cast member Brian Sacca.” – Seven Days (VT) Feb 27, 2020 Full Review Downhill (2020) 36% 3.5/5 EDIT “The tone shifts adroitly between existential horror and culture-clash comedy.” – Seven Days (VT) Feb 19, 2020 Full Review Les misérables (2019) 88% 5/5 EDIT “Les Misérables. Watch it once and forget all about Russell Crowe's singing forever.” – Seven Days (VT) Feb 12, 2020 Full Review The Rhythm Section (2020) 28% 1.5/5 EDIT “The Rhythm Section is a stunningly dumb, incompetently prepared embarrassment even by February standards.” – Seven Days (VT) Feb 6, 2020 Full Review Clemency (2019) 92% 2.5/5 EDIT “Unfortunately, the director defaults with dispiriting frequency to stilted melodrama.” – Seven Days (VT) Jan 29, 2020 Full Review Bombshell (2019) 67% 2.5/5 EDIT “There's a reason the movie's award-season kudos have largely been limited to nods for hair and makeup... There's not much question about how everything else in Bombshell was done, though. It's all been done so many times before. And so much better.” – Seven Days (VT) Jan 23, 2020 Full Review 1917 (2019) 88% 4.5/5 EDIT “It's not always the most comfortable experience. It is, however, a virtually unprecedented one.” – Seven Days (VT) Jan 15, 2020 Full Review Little Women (2019) 95% 5/5 EDIT “Little Women is simply a first-rate film.” – Seven Days (VT) Jan 9, 2020 Full Review Waves (2019) 84% 2.5/5 EDIT “While the movie includes a few interesting performances and the occasional memorable moment, its director indulges an impulse to go all kitchen sink.” – Seven Days (VT) Dec 18, 2019 Full Review Dark Waters (2019) 89% 3/5 EDIT “So, yeah, the movie tells an urgent, important story. Unfortunately, the writing, direction and acting are a trifle wooden and a little too on the nose.” – Seven Days (VT) Dec 11, 2019 Full Review Marriage Story (2019) 95% 2.5/5 EDIT “Think Kramer vs. Kramer meets Husbands and Wives with smartphones.” – Seven Days (VT) Dec 4, 2019 Full Review A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019) 95% 4/5 EDIT “It's impossible to imagine another performer pulling this off.” – Seven Days (VT) Nov 27, 2019 Full Review The Report (2019) 83% 4.5/5 EDIT “Intense, suspenseful, cerebral stuff.” – Seven Days (VT) Nov 20, 2019 Full Review Jojo Rabbit (2019) 81% 4/5 EDIT “I was initially put off by the goofy Hitler gimmick, too, but I have to say the writer-director-actor makes it work.” – Seven Days (VT) Nov 13, 2019 Full Review Parasite (2019) 99% 3/5 EDIT “That's not "savage commentary." That's condescension. This is by far the filmmaker's most commercially successful work to date...” – Seven Days (VT) Nov 6, 2019 Full Review Dolemite Is My Name (2019) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Who was Dolemite? There's no short answer. There is, however, a tremendously entertaining one, and Dolemite Is My Name unspools it beautifully.” – Seven Days (VT) Oct 30, 2019 Full Review The Laundromat (2019) 42% 2.5/5 EDIT “The cast is an embarrassment of riches... That only underscores the production's random, rambling vibe.” – Seven Days (VT) Oct 23, 2019 Full Review Judy (2019) 82% 2/5 EDIT “Who its intended audience is supposed to be eludes me.” – Seven Days (VT) Oct 16, 2019 Full Review
