The Nest (2020) 90% 3/5 EDIT “As he proved with 'Martha Marcy May Marlene', Durkin is a master of tone, and 'The Nest' is another finely calibrated mood piece.” – Time Out Feb 21, 2021 Full Review Downhill (2020) 36% 2/5 EDIT “One excruciating 11-minute confrontation aside, the conflicts in 'Downhill' lack the necessary messiness.” – Time Out Jan 28, 2020 Full Review Den of Thieves (2018) 42% 2/5 EDIT “This gritty crime drama is so indebted to the work of Michael Mann, it might as well be called Residual Heat.” – Time Out Jan 18, 2018 Full Review Only the Brave (2017) 87% 3/5 EDIT “While aspects of the routine become mundane, it's the developing brotherhood amongst the men, and the sense of community around them, that ultimately strengthens this story.” – Time Out Oct 12, 2017 Full Review I Do... Until I Don't (2017) 29% 2/5 EDIT “Bell's film ends up stuck between being a standard audience-pleaser and something more subversive. For a movie about marriage, you wish it would commit one way or the other.” – Time Out Sep 2, 2017 Full Review Shut In (2016) 5% 2/5 EDIT “As Mary loses sleep, her paranoia worsens, yet Christina Hodson's monotonous script fails to make Mary's psychological struggles feel any more severe than a case of misplaced keys.” – Time Out Nov 15, 2016 Full Review Goat (2016) 79% 4/5 EDIT “A narrowly focused but unsettling indictment of campus culture.” – Time Out Sep 22, 2016 Full Review Actor Martinez (2016) 82% 8/10 EDIT “Blurring the line between a narrative movie and a documentary, Actor Martinez is a film experiment that's difficult to unpack but hilarious to watch unfold.” – We Got This Covered Apr 23, 2016 Full Review Kicks (2016) 85% 7/10 EDIT “First-time filmmaker Justin Tipping enlivens the familiar beats of coming-of-age movies with a character-focused, beautifully shot debut film set in a poor Oakland neighborhood.” – We Got This Covered Apr 23, 2016 Full Review Little Boxes (2016) 70% 4/10 EDIT “Failing to puncture the tension with consistent humor, the self-seriousness of each scene grows increasingly tedious as Little Boxes runs out of stimulating material.” – We Got This Covered Apr 23, 2016 Full Review Race (2016) 64% 4/10 EDIT “Race fails to properly contextualize the achievements of Jesse Owens by imbuing its story with a modern, sterilized sensibility.” – We Got This Covered Feb 19, 2016 Full Review Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016) 87% 6/10 EDIT “Though entertaining at times, Kung Fu Panda 3 isn't entirely different from watching that video of Tian Tian, the Smithsonian's National Zoo panda, rolling in the snow on an hourlong loop” – We Got This Covered Jan 27, 2016 Full Review Point Break (2015) 12% 3/10 EDIT “The Point Break remake dials up the adrenaline with epic stuntwork but fails to weave any of the action into its incomprehensible and boring plot.” – We Got This Covered Dec 30, 2015 Full Review Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip (2015) 18% 4/10 EDIT “The off-putting CGI Chipmunks coast through a derivative, squeaky-voiced adventure with fleeting moments of charm.” – We Got This Covered Dec 18, 2015 Full Review Secret in Their Eyes (2015) 39% 4/10 EDIT “A stellar cast and compelling final twist is not enough to redeem the languid pace or uncomplicated mystery behind Secret in Their Eyes.” – We Got This Covered Nov 22, 2015 Full Review Love the Coopers (2015) 19% 2/10 EDIT “Love the Coopers strains and struggles to weave a story about the pains and pleasures of family around 14 caricatures and a ravenous St. Bernard.” – We Got This Covered Nov 12, 2015 Full Review The Peanuts Movie (2015) 87% 5/10 EDIT “The Peanuts Movie is more tribute album than fresh material. It aims to honor Charles M. Schulz's legacy while doing little to sustain it.” – We Got This Covered Nov 4, 2015 Full Review Brooklyn (2015) 97% 8/10 EDIT “Led by Saoirse Ronan, the earnest 1950s-set Brooklyn weaves an enchanting love story into the tale of an Irish immigrant's American assimilation.” – We Got This Covered Nov 1, 2015 Full Review Mavis! (2015) 97% 6/10 EDIT “A standard but enjoyable biographical documentary, Mavis! is elevated by the warm, dynamic presence of gospel and soul legend Mavis Staples.” – We Got This Covered Nov 1, 2015 Full Review Nasty Baby (2015) 68% 7/10 EDIT “Sebastian Silva's Nasty Baby is a sweet story that becomes enthralling, as it takes an unexpected, twisted act 3 turn.” – We Got This Covered Oct 22, 2015 Full Review The Walk (2015) 83% 7/10 EDIT “Delivering the most exhilarating film sequence of the year, The Walk is pure, visceral fun despite its flawed, overwritten script.” – We Got This Covered Sep 30, 2015 Full Review Maggie (2015) 61% 4/10 EDIT “Maggie is a one-dimensional portrayal of a father coming to terms with his daughter's zombie diagnosis, with ineffectual characters and more tears than emotion.” – We Got This Covered Apr 29, 2015 Full Review Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 (2015) 6% 3/10 EDIT “Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 is a boring, lifeless, lazily written movie with Kevin James' cheap, slapstick gags repeated ad nauseam.” – We Got This Covered Apr 17, 2015 Full Review The Salt of the Earth (2014) 94% 6/10 EDIT “The Salt of the Earth is a unique exhibition of beautiful photography, with immaculately filmed glimpses into social issues photographer Sebastião Salgado's thoughts and process.” – We Got This Covered Mar 31, 2015 Full Review The Boy Who Smells Like Fish (2013) 40% 6/10 EDIT “The Boy Who Smells Like Fish is an amusing slant on the coming-of-age film that hits occasional false moments but never wears out its welcome.” – We Got This Covered Nov 3, 2014 Full Review
