Werewolf by Night (2022) |
Marvel’s first “Special Presentation” is a monster mash. You can sense Giacchino’s glee in each frame. He’s jammed everything he loves about the genre into one singular expression. - Film School Rejects

Morbius (2022) |
Its hard to say if Morbius was doomed from the start, but after years of anticipating its tepid arrival, the final film earns a yawn as large as its protagonists unhinged snarl. - Film School Rejects

When You Finish Saving the World (2022) |
Jesse Eisenberg's feature directorial debut is an exhausting bout between mother and son, sold by Julianne Moore and Finn Wolfhard's captivating anti-chemistry. - Film School Rejects

Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021) |
In treating the first movie like a holy text, rather than the icky hilarious fluke it was, Jason Reitman denies Ghostbusters: Afterlife the chance to be its own thing. - Film School Rejects

Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) |
When the film meanders into plot and motivation for the supposedly bigger, badder, and broodier new villain, it oozes into an unforgivably dull quagmire. - Film School Rejects

Bad Attitude: The Art of Spain Rodriguez (2021) |

Sound of Metal (2019) |
There's nothing louder in this film than Ahmed's blank expression. Sound of Metal lives on his face, and it is gorgeous. - Film School Rejects

The Hunt (2020) |
We deserve it. We're so damn angry at each other, we can't look past our red hot rage, and The Hunt makes easy work of our aggression. - Film School Rejects

Kajillionaire (2020) |
Miranda July adores oddity, but don't be fooled by her infatuation. She presents characters who appear ripped from a realm slightly askew from ours, but as you live with them, you realize they're very much the products of our world. - Film School Rejects
