Landscape with Invisible Hand (2023) 72% EDIT “Once you get past the aliens’ appearances, it’s easy to be mesmerized by the film at large, which is a sweeping and heartfelt examination of colonization, voyeurism, capitalism, and humanity.” – Chicago Reader Aug 26, 2023 Full Review Theater Camp (2023) 86% EDIT “The film deftly captures the high emotional stakes of being a theater kid, whether you’re still a child or a full-grown adult.” – Chicago Reader Jul 29, 2023 Full Review Palm Springs (2020) 94% EDIT “[Palm Springs] seamlessly blends romance, comedy, science fiction, and heart-wrenching emotional drama.” – Chicago Reader Jul 13, 2020 Full Review John Mulaney & The Sack Lunch Bunch (2019) 96% 4/4 EDIT “Who knew a childless, 30-something white man from Chicago would be one of the most reliable soldiers in the fight against toxic masculinity and a champion for weird and wonderful kids everywhere?” – Chicago Reader Jan 11, 2020 Full Review Jenny Slate: Stage Fright (2019) 100% A EDIT “Where some textbook comedy specials fall flat because of over-rehearsed jokes or stiffness, Stage Fright succeeds because it oozes authenticity, thanks in part to a combination of Slate's overwhelming joy and a display of deep vulnerability” – AV Club Oct 23, 2019 Full Review Just My Luck (2006) 14% EDIT “This movie is less about the two main characters falling in love and more about exploring the equilibrium of good will in the universe. It's a mystical fantasy about how each decision we make matters and the differing paths life can take.” – Chicago Reader Feb 15, 2019 Full Review Veronica Mars (2014) 80% EDIT “The uninitiated may not go for the all-too-convenient crime solving, melodramatic love triangle, and playful banter, but cultists will find all the show's pleasures intact.” – Chicago Reader Mar 20, 2014 Full Review Close Quarters (2011) EDIT “As friends who gradually realize their respective spouses are cheating on them -- with each other -- these two are experts at building a story naturally while subtly exploring a range of emotions.” – Chicago Reader Mar 13, 2014 Full Review GBF (2013) 80% EDIT “A few sweet moments highlight the importance of acceptance and being yourself, but these after-school-special interludes clash with the snarky tone.” – Chicago Reader Jan 16, 2014 Full Review Bluebird (2013) 79% EDIT “The characters' personal struggles are so singular that this feels like a collection of vignettes instead of a continuous film.” – Chicago Reader Oct 11, 2013 Full Review Infiltrators (2012) EDIT “Though the poor picture quality can make this difficult to watch, the film is redeemed by its human moments.” – Chicago Reader Oct 11, 2013 Full Review
