Justin Bieber: Our World (2021) 57% C- EDIT “[The] sense of sanitized gloss running throughout it means that Justin Bieber: Our World likely won't change any minds one way or the other.” – AV Club Oct 6, 2021 Full Review The Nowhere Inn (2020) 67% B- EDIT “Never consistently funny enough to work as straight comedy and too broad to succeed in its somber aspirations, the results are still engaging in their attempts to defy easy categorization.” – AV Club Sep 15, 2021 Full Review P!nk: All I Know So Far (2021) 69% C+ EDIT “P!nk herself comes across as open and unguarded, but there's never enough time spent digging into any one area of her day-to-day to convey anything beyond the generally charmed life of a wildly successful artist.” – AV Club May 18, 2021 Full Review Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry (2021) 96% B+ EDIT “Reveals some crystal-clear insights into the vital importance of stabilizing influences on a young artist, one who's still trying to make sense of the rapidly changing world around her.” – AV Club Feb 26, 2021 Full Review The Swamp (2020) 67% B EDIT “The documentary's most useful tactic is how it demonstrates the ways that hyper-partisanship, and hateful rhetoric on both sides, is actually serving the corrupt status quo far more effectively than any outright bribery ever could.” – AV Club Aug 4, 2020 Full Review You Don't Nomi (2019) 89% B EDIT “It may not be as bizarrely entertaining as the film it obsesses over, but You Don't Nomi is a captivating document of how a piece of art-especially one this deeply, powerfully weird-can take on a life wholly beyond its original intentions.” – AV Club Jun 10, 2020 Full Review Patton Oswalt: I Love Everything (2020) 100% B EDIT “I Love Everything, for all its easygoing charm, is still instantly recognizable as the work of Oswalt's free-associative comedic persona.” – AV Club May 19, 2020 Full Review Jerry Seinfeld: 23 Hours to Kill (2020) 75% B EDIT “Most refreshing is the way age has found Seinfeld leaning into the bleak nihilism that has always laced his comedy, the dark undercurrent of his material now evolved past the point of misanthropy into a full-throated disgust for the human race as a whole.” – AV Club May 6, 2020 Full Review Taylor Tomlinson: Quarter-Life Crisis (2020) B EDIT “Taylor Tomlinson slips into her new stand-up special, Quarter-Life Crisis, with the ease of someone sliding into a comfortable pair of shoes.” – AV Club Mar 10, 2020 Full Review Empathy, Inc. (2018) 89% EDIT “It tells a solid story with verve and deft pacing.” – AV Club Aug 31, 2019 Full Review T.J. Miller: Meticulously Ridiculous (2017) 88% B EDIT “When Miller speaks with an honest voice, his comedy excels, his cracked sensibility and eye for the unusual making for memorable stories and crackerjack bits. When he steps into his more manic persona... it lessens the impact.” – AV Club Aug 1, 2019 Full Review Backdraft 2 (2019) 40% EDIT “This is the kind of brainless but trashily enjoyable film that would suit the bill when you're looking for something to watch hangover on a lazy Sunday afternoon.” – AV Club Jul 9, 2019 Full Review The Last Unicorn (1982) 75% EDIT “The Last Unicorn will endure as a film for reasons both intellectual and aesthetic. It's full of rich ideas and revisions of outdated, sexist stereotypes, and thereby feels more modern than many animated classics.” – AV Club Jun 13, 2019 Full Review Knock Down the House (2019) 99% B EDIT “It's awfully close to hagiography, but it also demonstrates why AOC is such a good campaigner.” – AV Club May 2, 2019 Full Review The Dirt (2019) 37% C+ EDIT “If only it could be half as fun as Mötley Crüe thinks it is.” – AV Club Mar 22, 2019 Full Review Brexit (2019) 80% B EDIT “It's reductive and ham-fisted in its direction, sure, but still makes for a breezily engaging tale.” – AV Club Jan 18, 2019 Full Review Fyre (2019) 93% B+ EDIT “What Smith nails is just how far McFarland's bravado and snake-oil salesman shrewdness really took him before it all collapsed.” – AV Club Jan 17, 2019 Full Review Fyre Fraud (2019) 79% B EDIT “[A] helpful reminder that, like so many stories, one account can't contain the whole truth.” – AV Club Jan 17, 2019 Full Review They Remain (2017) 61% B- EDIT “With little in the way of plot (the source material is a short story), this sci-fi-tinged horror film is carried solely by the actors and atmosphere, and in the case of the former, it mostly succeeds.” – AV Club Feb 28, 2018 Full Review Tragedy Girls (2017) 85% EDIT “... Imagine instead a Heathers that gleefully goes all the way past the point of nihilism, and ends up in a warped funhouse mirror reflection of society that blends camp and satire in equal measure...” – AV Club Dec 14, 2017 Full Review What Happened to Monday (2017) 62% EDIT “... a crowd-pleasing game of cat-and-mouse, jazzed up by sci-fi flourishes and a high concept.” – AV Club Dec 14, 2017 Full Review Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold (2017) 89% EDIT “How vital is Didion? Harrison Ford shows up to discuss being her carpenter in '70s Malibu, and all you want is to get back to Joan.” – AV Club Dec 14, 2017 Full Review Creep 2 (2017) 100% B EDIT “For fans of the original who don't mind the loss of scares, Creep 2 improves on the first film in nearly every way, from tone to dialogue to plot.” – AV Club Oct 25, 2017 Full Review Jungle (2017) 60% B- EDIT “Radcliffe convincingly portrays a man slowly stripped to his barest self, driven along by little more than a primal urge to survive.” – AV Club Oct 17, 2017 Full Review Rememory (2017) 25% B- EDIT “Heading a troupe of excellent actors bringing their A games to this decidedly B-movie material, Dinklage and his fellow performers are a pleasure to watch selling the hell out of this sci-fi-tinged whodunit.” – AV Club Sep 6, 2017 Full Review
