Oppenheimer (2023)
93%
4.5/5
EDIT
““Oppenheimer” can very much be read as a point of no return for the obsessive, visionary archetype, but it’s far more than that; a cautionary tale and character study as only this movie magician could make.” –

Nope (2022)
83%
4.5/5
EDIT
“Peele’s terrific third feature, “Nope,” pairs old fashioned Hollywood showmanship with the director’s trademark blend of humor and dread, crafting a 1970s-style, thinking-viewer’s blockbuster with more spectacle than any contemporary Disney production.” –

B+
EDIT
“"God's Country" has a powerful mood and atmosphere, with stretches of silence deployed with invisibly adept skill that never loses a handle on its ominously tender humanism.” –

Tick, Tick... Boom! (2021)

C-
EDIT
“Full to the brim with non-stop cameos of previous stage productions/film adaptations, tick, tick... BOOM! will be very enjoyable for die-hard Broadway lovers but feels incredibly hyperbolic as mainstream entertainment.” –

“Hopper's 3rd directorial effort is a work that transmogrifies itself so deftly it somehow sways between pensive and punk.” –

“"Ultrasound's" plotting threads take time to gel and settle in. Still, its overall use of sound and style creates a hauntingly disorienting atmosphere right from the outset.” –

EDIT
“Huge fans of the performer will likely shed tears at few parts throughout, but there's nothing especially unique or particularly thought-provoking about first-time director Tylor Norwood's filmmaking approach to make his documentary stand out.” –
