Crimes of the Future (2022) 80% EDIT “Surgery might be the new sex, but in the chaste landscape of contemporary film, the results are less shocking than old sex would be. ” – The Verge May 31, 2022 Full Review The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022) 87% EDIT “The film is theoretically a self-aware satire of fandom, Hollywood, and Cage’s own legendary status... In reality, it’s an often fun but aimless action-comedy that diagnoses its own narrative issues instead of fixing them.” – The Verge Mar 15, 2022 Full Review Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) 93% EDIT “Everything Everywhere is a giant tangled yarn ball of a movie, and if it doesn’t work for you, that feeling will last for a very, very long time. If it does work, though, it might be one of the most charmingly ridiculous movies you see this year.” – The Verge Mar 14, 2022 Full Review The Matrix Resurrections (2021) 63% EDIT “It's a gratingly uncool and reactive cut-up of an effortlessly cool and timeless work, albeit seemingly deliberately so.” – The Verge Dec 22, 2021 Full Review Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021) 30% EDIT “The film delivers a checklist to remind viewers why they like Resident Evil - but it sometimes seems to forget what's actually on it.” – The Verge Nov 28, 2021 Full Review A Glitch in the Matrix (2020) 66% EDIT “The Zoom interviews are understandable during the COVID-19 pandemic, but they're frustratingly abstract, offering no sense of what it means to actually live your life convinced the world is fake.” – The Verge Feb 2, 2021 Full Review Censor (2021) 89% EDIT “While its ending doesn't deliver on its incredibly effective setup, [Niamh] Algar captures Enid's hollow-eyed, increasingly harrowed exhaustion as she tries to solve a mystery that nobody else believes in.” – The Verge Feb 1, 2021 Full Review The Social Dilemma (2020) 84% EDIT “The drama undercuts The Social Dilemma's ostensible message - or maybe just reveals its weaknesses.” – The Verge Sep 4, 2020 Full Review La llorona (2019) 96% EDIT “An excellent indie movie that puts a supernatural twist on a story of very human horror.” – The Verge Feb 7, 2020 Full Review Shirley (2020) 88% EDIT “The best part of Shirley is Elisabeth Moss as a sharp-tongued and gloriously frumpy agent of chaos.” – The Verge Feb 5, 2020 Full Review Feels Good Man (2020) 95% EDIT “Feels Good Man presents a heavily covered story in a thoughtful and vivid way.” – The Verge Feb 5, 2020 Full Review Tesla (2020) 58% EDIT “It's more noteworthy as an ambitious movie made with intriguingly tight constraints - even if the results, like Tesla's big ideas, don't always work.” – The Verge Jan 29, 2020 Full Review Zola (2020) 88% EDIT “Directed by Janicza Bravo, it's a stylish dramatization of the dramatization, polishing a social media narrative into something neater and a little more conventionally dramatic, but also bringing it to life with an excellent cast and vivid look.” – The Verge Jan 28, 2020 Full Review Spree (2020) 65% EDIT “If you're the kind of person who can laugh at slapstick murder vignettes, a lot of Spree works very well.” – The Verge Jan 26, 2020 Full Review Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) 51% EDIT “Minute to minute, it's an enjoyable movie, and at its brightest points, it captures Star Wars at its best. But Abrams just hasn't pared down the bombast enough to keep his story grounded...” – The Verge Dec 18, 2019 Full Review Empathy, Inc. (2018) 89% EDIT “Empathy, Inc. can arguably be too effective at puncturing the mystique of its own world... Still, Empathy, Inc. uses a classic science fiction premise to explore contemporary tensions about technology and social class.” – The Verge Sep 11, 2019 Full Review Paradise Hills (2019) 68% EDIT “It's bizarre and often delightful. Paradise Hills captures a futuristic fantasy aesthetic that feels familiar in video games, but fresh in movies.” – The Verge Aug 7, 2019 Full Review I Am Human (2019) EDIT “A moving trio of narratives about people who are trying to overcome serious physical limitations with cutting-edge brain science.” – The Verge May 20, 2019 Full Review See You Yesterday (2019) 93% EDIT “See You Yesterday is a compelling blend of nuanced drama, teenage adventure-comedy, and thought experiment.” – The Verge May 9, 2019 Full Review Yesterday (2019) 63% EDIT “Yesterday is a story about the pure and timeless nature of music - but it often comes off as more rote than heartfelt.” – The Verge May 7, 2019 Full Review Girl on the Third Floor (2019) 81% EDIT “Offers catharsis in a restrained, sometimes skin-crawlingly tense story.” – The Verge Mar 25, 2019 Full Review Snatchers (2019) 94% EDIT “This film could have been smarter or more distinctive, but it remains a generally good-natured comedy about the trials of being a teenager - albeit one with a lot of severed limbs.” – The Verge Mar 15, 2019 Full Review Jawline (2019) 97% EDIT “Jawline explores what's unique about social media stardom without overemphasizing its novelty, so the film works as a dissection of modern digital celebrity, but also a classic story about beautiful young people struggling to get famous.” – The Verge Feb 6, 2019 Full Review The Great Hack (2019) 85% EDIT “The Great Hack is sometimes fascinating, especially when it's delving into the shady inner workings of Cambridge Analytica. And it covers timely and important themes. But for a film about resisting propaganda, it's surprisingly credulous.” – The Verge Feb 1, 2019 Full Review I Am Mother (2019) 89% EDIT “I Am Mother isn't an incredibly smart or memorable take on artificial intelligence, but the film still taps into some potent cultural anxieties.” – The Verge Jan 29, 2019 Full Review
