The Woman in the Yard (2025) 41% 7/10 EDIT “More unsettling than outright terrifying, The Woman in the Yard is smaller-scale horror that works as a return to fundamentals for a talented filmmaker, and is further proof of Danielle Deadwyler’s immense skill as a lead performer.” – IGN Movies Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Mean Girls (2024) 68% EDIT “Genuinely exciting in some ways while understandably stilted in some others, the end result of reviving a beloved film for a new adaptation ends up being a far savvier move than you might expect. ” – Salon.com Jan 12, 2024 Full Review Dicks: The Musical (2023) 68% EDIT “Dicks: The Musical truly comes alive when its rapid-fire joke factory is churning out punchlines that feel specific to this particular movie. ” – Salon.com Oct 6, 2023 Full Review Luther: The Fallen Sun (2023) 67% C+ EDIT “Watching “Luther: The Fallen Sun” feels like watching a lesser version of “Die Hard with a Vengeance,” as if this was a repurposed Cross script retrofitted to be the “Luther” movie everyone’s been asking for...” – IndieWire Feb 24, 2023 Full Review Stephen Curry: Underrated (2023) 85% B- EDIT “Curry has had a fascinating past two decades, something that “Underrated” does an effective job of capturing. But in harnessing what was always there in full view, there’s not much else here to add.” – IndieWire Jan 24, 2023 Full Review Help (2021) 100% EDIT “For a fictional telling with so much emotional volatility, finding performers who can manage that heavy, delicate lifting is a key task. Fortunately, Help has twin pillars in the form of Jodie Comer and Stephen Graham” – IndieWire Feb 2, 2022 Full Review Tick, Tick... Boom! (2021) 88% B- EDIT “A film that, even at its highest points, seems to be fighting half of itself.” – IndieWire Nov 11, 2021 Full Review Antlers (2021) 59% C+ EDIT “"Antlers" ends up with too little of what could set it apart and stops short of making good on the metaphorical promises it makes for itself.” – IndieWire Oct 28, 2021 Full Review Fear Street Part Three: 1666 (2021) 89% B- EDIT “Despite some of the counterproductive choices in "1666," the way that "Fear Street" chooses to wrap up this mini-saga is a jolt of inspiration at the finish.” – IndieWire Jul 20, 2021 Full Review Fear Street Part Two: 1978 (2021) 88% B+ EDIT “"1978" may not completely reframe the overall "Fear Street" story from curiosity to tragedy all by itself, but tracking the casual ways that past decisions and stratifications hold sway on future generations does make this a richer viewing experience.” – IndieWire Jul 7, 2021 Full Review America: The Motion Picture (2021) 34% C EDIT “Most of the time, it's knowingly stupid, which makes watching it 90 minutes of occasional fun and frequent indifference.” – IndieWire Jul 1, 2021 Full Review 144 (2021) A- EDIT “From the tears that come with fulfilling a lifelong professional goal and those that come from not being able to explain senseless violence to a young child, "144" manages to encompass it all.” – IndieWire May 17, 2021 Full Review Oliver Sacks: His Own Life (2019) 100% B+ EDIT “There's an emotional ebb and flow that allows for a broad spectrum of disappointments and fallow periods before arriving at the portion of Sacks' life when his own accounts of particular patients garnered both he and them widespread attention.” – IndieWire Apr 16, 2021 Full Review The Dig (2021) 88% B EDIT “Whether it's a mere whiff of romance, the memory of a loved one passed on, or the encroaching consequence of a nation readying for conflict, there's a bittersweetness to "The Dig" that lingers just as much as the facts of the story.” – IndieWire Jan 29, 2021 Full Review Safety (2020) 78% C EDIT “The film that exists may fill in some temporary vacuum in a season without capacity-level crowds on Saturday nights and evenings. But those who want something more may have to wait a little longer.” – IndieWire Dec 12, 2020 Full Review The Scheme (2020) 88% B- EDIT “[It} has plenty of nods to the sheer dollar amounts that flow into college athletic programs across the country... But with relative whispers about the myriad other programs that are supposedly on the take, [It] can only gesture at something definitive.” – IndieWire Apr 2, 2020 Full Review El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (2019) 92% A- EDIT “In its construction feels more like a final extension of what made the show compelling, rather than something artificially crowded with canon-shifting revelations or a reinvention of a winning blueprint” – IndieWire Oct 11, 2019 Full Review Greg Davies: You Magnificent Beast (2018) EDIT “With some genuine moments of self-reflection nested in among the crazy tales of disastrous first dates and beloved children's toys, Davies has a great sense for rhythm, trailing off at the end of a handful of bits before lunging back for the final laugh.” – IndieWire Jul 18, 2019 Full Review Gad Elmaleh: American Dream (2018) EDIT “Elmaleh brings a breezy style without many of the frills that often come along with some of the whimsy underneath.” – IndieWire Jul 18, 2019 Full Review Harith Iskander: I Told You So (2018) EDIT “Iskander gets a lot of goodwill from being a likable guy, but that doesn't necessarily translate to much substantial comedy.” – IndieWire Jul 18, 2019 Full Review Todd Glass: Act Happy (2018) 100% EDIT “Between the on-stage band heckling Glass mid-joke and a rapid-fire series of joke alts about getting into an accident with a food truck, this is controlled chaos of the most entertaining kind.” – IndieWire Jul 15, 2019 Full Review Kevin James: Never Don't Give Up (2018) EDIT “Most of this is built around the same low-hanging, moldy observations your uncle had last Thanksgiving, but it's elevated ever so slightly by the occasional, more physical bits of James' set.” – IndieWire Jul 11, 2019 Full Review Tom Segura: Disgraceful (2018) 100% EDIT “Segura leans into schlubbiness, but his biggest asset is in telling stories, rather than veering into some reductive observational stuff.” – IndieWire Jul 8, 2019 Full Review Ricky Gervais: Humanity (2018) 47% EDIT “Even when a few genuine spontaneous smiles sneak through, "Humanity" has the air of something Gervais feels obliged to do, either to feed some nonexistent need to bolster his cred as Bad Boy of Comedy.” – IndieWire Dec 28, 2018 Full Review Fred Armisen: Standup For Drummers (2018) 67% EDIT “It ultimately feels like a novelty only Armisen could whip up. Even if the rhythm is hard to follow sometimes, it's a tiny bit miraculous that it exists.” – IndieWire Dec 28, 2018 Full Review
