100%
7/10
EDIT
“4×4 lives and dies by Peter Lanzani’s performance, and he more than delivers in this edge-of-your-seat thriller. ” –

Nomadland (2020)
93%
7.5/10
EDIT
“Nomadland revels in stark realism, and the real people that are used really add to the atmosphere and overall feel of the film. The story ultimately becomes less interesting as it moves along...” –

The United States vs. Billie Holiday (2021)

6.5/10
EDIT
“The United States vs. Billie Holiday is messy yet wonderfully acted. Odd narrative choices and jumbled timelines disrupt what is otherwise an excellent platform for Andra Day...” –

Stray (2021)

8.5/10
EDIT
“A film with so little dialogue can rarely elicit so many emotions, and Stray manages to do just that with its lean 72-minute runtime. ” –

8/10
EDIT
“Bad Trip is a farcical romp, but it is a stupidly funny romp that will catch you off guard more often than not. ” –

8/10
EDIT
“Stowaway is not complex, nor is it trying to be, but if you’re looking for a quick distraction that’ll leave your palms sweaty and your heart racing, then this is well worth your time.” –

The Outside Story (2020)
88%
5.5/10
EDIT
“Despite The Outside Story’s aimless nature, some might enjoy Casimir Nozkowski’s quiet and snoozy direction; it just isn’t the lead role debut Brian Tyree Henry deserves.” –

I Am All Girls (2021)
6/10
EDIT
“The slow-burn aspect of this movie might turn off some, but if you like atmospheric thrillers with a dark and gritty undertone, you’ll be right at home with I Am All the Girls even though it telegraphs its every move. ” –

When I Consume You (2021)
89%
8.5/10
EDIT
“When I Consume You clocks in at a brisk 92 minutes, but you feel the latter end lag a bit more than you should. Perry Blackshear does manage to stick the landing, though, and gives us a bittersweet yet satisfying ending. There’s a lot to enjoy here...” –

No One Gets Out Alive (2021)
68%
5.5/10
EDIT
“No One Gets Out Alive is a by-the-numbers meandering horror slogan for the first two acts, but things get interesting in the third act when the film finally decides to show and not tell. ” –
