Palmer (2021) 72% C+ EDIT “Palmer is a film that you come to for the heartfelt relationship and the strong work from the two lead actors, rather than the way it tries to take on deeper themes. It comes off as one of those films that isn’t as progressive as it tries to be...” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review The Midnight Sky (2020) 49% D EDIT “While the film isn’t a total loss based on these areas, the lack of a convincing narrative and a connection to the characters makes for a tough sit.” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review Sylvie's Love (2020) 94% EDIT “At times, it can feel like this film is employing very familiar plot points for a romantic drama. However, it takes those narrative aspects and heightens them where so many others have not. ” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review Sound of Metal (2019) 97% EDIT “No film from 2020 grew on me more than Sound of Metal. It’s a film that I thoroughly enjoyed when I first saw it, and I’ve grown to absolutely love it as it refuses to leave my mind.” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review One Night in Miami (2020) 98% EDIT “It’s difficult for a film based on a play to avoid feeling stagey, especially a film that primarily takes place in one motel room and centers on just four characters. But Regina King directs the film with a true flair.” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review The Forty-Year-Old Version (2020) 99% EDIT “Radha Blank very well might be the entertainer of the year in my book, based on everything she does in this film.” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review Soul (2020) 95% EDIT “Is it among the very best Pixar has to offer? No. Did it make me think and feel deeply the way that a Pixar film often does? Absolutely.” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review The Assistant (2019) 93% EDIT “Sexual harassment in the workplace (in this case, a production company) is not shown explicitly. Rather, it is assessed through the anxieties of one young woman who works there, played brilliantly by Julia Garner.” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review Unpregnant (2020) 92% EDIT “Haley Lu Richardson and Barbie Ferreira make an excellent team in this buddy film, which tackles the topic of abortion in a way that touches on the intricacies of choice while also making the process seem less daunting than other films.” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review Pelé (2021) 84% B EDIT “Once you get past the film’s refusal to dive into some of the pertinent areas the way it probably should, it is still a pleasurable experience as a gateway into learning more about Pelé and Brazil.” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review Bliss (2021) 27% D EDIT “Though a cameo from Bill Nye certainly brought a brief smile to my face, the film overall left me with the opposite of bliss. ” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review A Quiet Place Part II (2021) 91% B+ EDIT “A Quiet Place Part II isn’t always as quiet as the title or the first film might suggest, but the more silent moments are the most impactful. ” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review Oxygen (2021) 90% B- EDIT “Oxygen isn’t really a horror film, but it does deliver a similar case of uneasiness. ” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review The Bad News Bears (1976) 97% B+ EDIT “Still one of the scrappiest underdog movies...” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review Another Round (2020) 93% EDIT “The Academy seems to be slowly but surely moving in a more international direction, which is both great and long overdue...” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review Nomadland (2020) 93% EDIT “Zhao’s stunning, masterful work in Nomadland looks to be rewarded as one of the most unique and inspired choices by the Academy in this category...” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review Promising Young Woman (2020) 90% EDIT “Promising Young Woman is my favorite film of the year, and Fennell is my personal choice for Best Director. To come out of the gates with a debut film that takes the risks Promising Young Woman does is stellar.” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021) 56% C+ EDIT “It’s impossible to ignore that these films are now part of a cinematic universe. While it doesn’t hold a candle to the original and is noticeably below the first direct sequel, it’s still far above most of the other entries in the franchise.” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review Slacker (1991) 82% B+ EDIT “Slacker is certainly not the only, nor the most influential of low-budget independent filmmaking from the 1990s. But it is a model example of a feature depicting traits that came to define a filmmaker’s career...” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review Old (2021) 50% B- EDIT “Though Old has a number of observable shortcomings, my overall impression of the film that sticks with me is that of excitement and amusement.” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) 37% EDIT “The 2003 film looks like it was shot on a fairly low budget. Aside from an electrifying introductory race, the film is a bore visually and narratively, and it includes one of the most forgettable villains of the franchise.” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review The Fate of the Furious (2017) 67% EDIT “This entry absolutely suffers from the absence of Brian and Mia O’Connor, but the issues go far beyond that.” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019) 67% EDIT “It’s not the most ridiculous film in the franchise from an action standpoint, but nearly the entire runtime is taken up by two grown men...” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review F9 The Fast Saga (2021) 59% EDIT “I can’t help but wonder why Fast and Furious 9 would not have sufficed as the title here. At least 2 Fast 2 Furious has a goofy pizzazz to it. Naming conventions aside, the most recent entry does nothing to take the series in a new direction...” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review Fast & Furious (2009) 28% EDIT “It is undeniably nice to see the friendship built up again, as that relationship has always been a strength of the franchise. Granted, the film does take itself way too seriously...” – InSession Film May 2, 2023 Full Review
