The Christophers (2025) 97% EDIT “ For audiences wishing to see two actors dig into juicy roles, The Christophers will get the job done. If you’re looking for a deep analysis of originality and artifice, look elsewhere.” – The Film Stage Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% EDIT “It seems silly to come down too hard on this good-natured comedy-drama––especially for offering a much more impressive performance than the one that earned Fraser an Oscar.” – The Film Stage Sep 8, 2025 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% EDIT “Like the main character’s actions, Park’s film is rather undisciplined in its development. Yet it’s downright exhilarating to watch such a skilled director unleash his fury. ” – The Film Stage Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% EDIT “While Wake Up Dead Man fails to reach the highs of Knives Out and Glass Onion, it nevertheless solidifies Johnson’s reliability to deliver thoughtful thrills.” – The Film Stage Sep 7, 2025 Full Review Friendship (2024) 88% B EDIT “A hysterically funny, pitch-black comedy.” – The Film Stage Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Eden (2024) 58% C+ EDIT “Eden wants to leave the audience brimming with respect for the survival skills of Floreana’s inhabitants. Unfortunately, the endless scenes of discord are what will be remembered. ” – The Film Stage Sep 8, 2024 Full Review On Swift Horses (2024) 53% B- EDIT “Minahan and Klass struggle to balance the film’s many characters and disparate storylines, but at the same time they’ve created a film populated by people who are wildly compelling.” – The Film Stage Sep 8, 2024 Full Review The Last Showgirl (2024) 83% B EDIT “Coppola is less interested in the glittering lights of the city than in letting the camera stay on Anderson’s face––a mix of heart-tugging optimism and deep pain. ” – The Film Stage Sep 7, 2024 Full Review Catching Fire: The Story of Anita Pallenberg (2023) 88% B+ EDIT “Catching Fire is a redemption story and an against-all-odds accounting of one woman’s triumph over misogyny and addiction. More than that, it’s a tale of finding one’s real voice later in life.” – The Film Stage May 2, 2024 Full Review DEVO (2024) 85% B+ EDIT “Devo die-hards, casual fans, and the uninitiated will all come away satisfied.” – The Film Stage Jan 25, 2024 Full Review The Stones and Brian Jones (2023) 92% B+ EDIT “Indeed, Broomfield has created the definitive documentary on the early days of the Rolling Stones; even more crucially, he has shown both how the Stones became THE STONES and the cost of that success.” – The Film Stage Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Lee (2023) 68% B EDIT “As tenacious, groundbreaking American war photographer Lee Miller, Winslet appears in nearly every scene, dominates nearly every conversation, and says more with an arched eyebrow than many actors can say across pages upon pages of dialogue.” – The Film Stage Sep 15, 2023 Full Review Flipside (2023) 97% B EDIT “Ultimately, Flipside is a moving, funny, inventive film that may cause viewers to follow Wilcha’s lead and ask tough questions about their own lives. That is no small feat for a documentarian.” – The Film Stage Sep 14, 2023 Full Review The End We Start From (2023) 89% B+ EDIT “The End We Start From is a success because its focus is not on the tropes of post-apocalyptic cinema. Instead it zeroes in on the love between a mother and her child, and that makes all the difference.” – The Film Stage Sep 12, 2023 Full Review Knox Goes Away (2023) 66% C EDIT “With a little more Keaton charm, a sharper script, and a bit more filmmaking verve, Knox may have succeeded.” – The Film Stage Sep 12, 2023 Full Review Satan Wants You (2023) 95% C+ EDIT “The story told by Satan Wants You is full of interest and intrigue. Decades later it’s easy to wonder how so many people around the world––including members of law enforcement––could so easily believe such nonsense. ” – The Film Stage Mar 17, 2023 Full Review Little Richard: I Am Everything (2023) 94% B+ EDIT “Little Richard was everything, and thanks to Lisa Cortés’ film his influence on everyone from Elvis Presley and Jimi Hendrix to Bad Brains and Harry Styles can never again be doubted.” – The Film Stage Jan 30, 2023 Full Review Scrapper (2023) 94% B- EDIT “Scrapper‘s conclusion is sweet, subtle, and predictable. Indeed, it is the predictability of Regan’s screenplay that keeps the film from greatness. ” – The Film Stage Jan 27, 2023 Full Review The Fabelmans (2022) 92% A- EDIT “A warm, moving drama about the need to make art, whatever its cost. ” – The Film Stage Sep 11, 2022 Full Review Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) 91% B+ EDIT “A film that delights in explaining to its audience all that they have missed, and somehow eliciting smiles rather than sneers.” – The Film Stage Sep 11, 2022 Full Review Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022) 85% C+ EDIT “Weird aims for the transcendent comedy of Popstar and Walk Hard but never quite succeeds to that degree; thus it qualifies as a modest disappointment. ” – The Film Stage Sep 10, 2022 Full Review Emily (2022) 87% B+ EDIT “Shot with breathtaking beauty and acted with extraordinary emotion and grace, this exploration of the life and development of Emily Brontë is tremendously enveloping.” – The Film Stage Sep 10, 2022 Full Review Spin Me Round (2022) 47% B EDIT “An enjoyable, sometimes uproarious subversion of rom-com tropes.” – The Film Stage Aug 15, 2022 Full Review Jane by Charlotte (2021) 62% C EDIT “The stakes are low, drama minimal, structure formless. It makes for a viewing experience that is occasionally enjoyable and largely unengaging.” – The Film Stage Mar 16, 2022 Full Review Pirates (2021) 100% B EDIT “A very funny, often sweet, and well-acted trip to London on New Years Eve 1999.” – The Film Stage Mar 14, 2022 Full Review
