Kimi (2022) 92% EDIT “The sub-90 minute thriller offers a searing yet slyly humorous portrayal of the modern technological landscape—as well as the abuses (and negligence) of both state and corporation towards woman victims of sexual assault.” – Vanity Fair Mar 17, 2022 Full Review The Sky is Everywhere (2022) 66% EDIT “That Decker is able to transmit a deep and compelling curiosity about this journey through each and every image is reason enough to follow a deeply familiar and sometimes overearnest plot. ” – Vanity Fair Feb 16, 2022 Full Review Sharp Stick (2022) 50% EDIT “Sharp Stick is a supremely funny film... Like any artist worth her salt, Dunham yields to the farthest corners of her imagination and experience -- backlash be damned.” – Vanity Fair Jan 28, 2022 Full Review Living (2022) 96% EDIT “"Living," in the context of both the new film and Kurosawa's Ikiru, is a subversive act -- an outright refusal of the status quo by white collar working men who have long benefited if not spiritually, then financially from it.” – Vanity Fair Jan 26, 2022 Full Review Nightmare Alley (2021) 80% EDIT “There's no shame in a remake where the re-rendering is genuinely fresh - but del Toro's take empties its source material of significance, taking us for a gimmicky ride.” – Vanity Fair Dec 17, 2021 Full Review Swan Song (2021) 80% EDIT “Swan Song indulges the self-centeredness of a neurotic man without revealing much about the environment that would have influenced such a person.” – Vanity Fair Dec 17, 2021 Full Review Being the Ricardos (2021) 68% EDIT “A visually bland picture in which comedy isn't enacted, but delineated.” – Vanity Fair Dec 11, 2021 Full Review Flee (2021) 98% EDIT “That [Amin's] willing... to finally release his secrets to an old friend is a gift we're lucky to share in.” – Vanity Fair Dec 9, 2021 Full Review Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn (2021) 91% EDIT “Simultaneously raunchy, radical, satirical, and philosophical.” – Vanity Fair Nov 29, 2021 Full Review Passing (2021) 91% EDIT “Passing, instead, emphasizes how casually we can lose ourselves in a world built on varying and opposing perception. The film lingers on the shame felt in finding a place where we don't quite belong.” – Vanity Fair Nov 13, 2021 Full Review Eternals (2021) 47% EDIT “From visuals to music choice, there's a lack of style here that is only further emphasized by the film's refusal to focus.” – Vanity Fair Oct 27, 2021 Full Review The Rescue (2021) 96% EDIT “The Rescue is not so much a film as it is a record.” – Vanity Fair Oct 13, 2021 Full Review Blue Bayou (2021) 75% EDIT “We get a smattering of piercing thoughts about family separation as sanctioned by the U.S. government and a roster of deeply felt performances, but not the vision to see it through.” – Vanity Fair Sep 17, 2021 Full Review The Card Counter (2020) 88% EDIT “The Card Counter brings the subtext of broken American lives to the fore... You'll leave the film unable to stop thinking about its dimensions.” – Vanity Fair Sep 8, 2021 Full Review Spencer (2021) 83% EDIT “What Larraín and Knight bring to Diana's story is a daringness to imagine the woman not only outside of her public context, but her media-constructed one.” – Vanity Fair Sep 6, 2021 Full Review The Lost Daughter (2021) 94% EDIT “Gyllenhaal devises a visual language that's as capricious as it is arresting. She knows exactly what she wants to capture and how, and we can feel it in the pacing and framing.” – Vanity Fair Sep 3, 2021 Full Review Respect (2021) 68% EDIT “Respect is not a perfect film, but it's also not your typical biopic, and certainly is worth your attention.” – Vanity Fair Aug 18, 2021 Full Review The Big Scary "S" Word (2020) 87% EDIT “What's most useful about "S" Word's framing is that it identifies the dominant American political ideology-freedom-while arguing that socialism is the only economic system fit to bestow it in the country.” – The Daily Beast Aug 18, 2021 Full Review Annette (2021) 72% EDIT “The film is as tender and wrenching as it is bizarre and humorous.” – Vanity Fair Aug 5, 2021 Full Review Mandibles (2020) 91% EDIT “The result is, refreshingly, not high brow humor, but an admirable attempt to see how far one can push the well-worn formula of buddy comedies - and where that process might take one ideologically.” – Vanity Fair Jul 26, 2021 Full Review No Sudden Move (2021) 92% EDIT “Each beat pulsed with both anticipation and absurdity. If that's not movie magic, then, well, it depends on what you think movie magic is.” – Vanity Fair Jul 2, 2021 Full Review All Light, Everywhere (2021) 94% EDIT “All Light, Everywhere is a tremendous work that anyone merely curious about the various relationships the government has to both private industry and an enormous public ought to see.” – Vanity Fair Jun 4, 2021 Full Review Coming 2 America (2021) 49% EDIT “Even if you generously accept its creative laziness, Coming 2 America is startling in its utter incompetence.” – Vanity Fair Mar 4, 2021 Full Review Bad Attitude: The Art of Spain Rodriguez (2021) 89% EDIT “Collaborating with their daughter, Nora, to reveal the complexities of her late husband's life and work, [Susan] Stern makes another compelling argument: Differing perspectives can do more than coexist; they can encourage each other.” – Vanity Fair Feb 16, 2021 Full Review Strawberry Mansion (2021) 87% EDIT “The directors' reverence for the past nevertheless lends itself to complex ideas about the future.” – Vanity Fair Feb 3, 2021 Full Review
